lies because she doesn't want to feel like a loser, not in front of him. He gives her an “eat your heart out” grin.
“Well, there’s a party this Friday; I would love it if we can hang out.” Kallos tries to hide her giggle at his heart-melting smile. She fails as she smiles back at him.
“Okay, that sounds good.” He reaches for her hand and she lets him hold it.
He takes his warm hand away from her. “Good, I was hoping you would say that.” He writes seven digits on a piece of paper. “Here is my number; you can call anytime and I’ll pick you up.” She takes out her cell phone and adds his number. Then, he lifts her hand and kisses her knuckles. Chivalry is obviously not dead with Ian as her blush darkens as he stares into her eyes. “Please, stay safe, Kallos.”
The shrill bell rings before she can ask what he means by his cryptic statement. Ian stares at her for what seems like forever and her mind takes her back to his last statement, ‘Please, stay safe Kallos,’ is echoed in her head over and over. He lets go of Kallos' hand so she can grab her backpack. She watches him walk away before she realizes that she didn’t give him her number. Kallos sees Karissa walking out of the door with another girl. Kallos smiles in her direction. “Hey, what class do you have next?” Karissa shouts from the doorway.
Kallos glances at her schedule. “Mr. Nelson.”
“We do too! Oh, this is Kellee. Kel, this is Kallos.”
They smile at each other and Kallos notices Kellee's short, reddish blonde hair and green eyes as we head toward our next class. She looks down at her phone and opens a new text message.
Now you have my number, Kallos She grins as she presses send. She quickly ran to her locker to put her phone away, she doesn’t want to get in trouble on the first day of school.
Throughout the morning no one really tried to talk to her; she heard some whispers that she was under Ian’s wing. Kallos turns the knob around as she puts in her combination to opens her locker she finds her cell phone, and is disappointed when she finds there is nothing new on it. No new text messages. Kallos puts her books in and puts her phone in her back pocket. Entering the lunchroom she looks at the walks and a bright yellow fills her vision. More of the posters cover the wall about the Homecoming Dance, and to join different clubs. Kallos quickly finds Ian sitting at a huge table. However he has two girls on either side of him. The one to his right is Cali girl; the typical short shorts, perfect makeup and even in the harshest of artificial lights her skin still glows. She has to be breaking the dress codes.
She is wearing a skin-tight white sweater that showed off her ample bosom. It makes Kallos wish that she had more to show off. Her jeans are so low you could almost see her butt crack. The one on his left has short black hair cut into a bob. She has on all black, but the outfit is just as skimpy as the blonde’s. The V-neck of her shirt goes past her black lace bra. She can't really see her black skirt, but she is guessing it was really short. They both looked at Kallos as she comes closer. That’s when she sees their eyes. The blonde has hazel eyes, and the other one has deep green eyes. They are glaring at Kallos, as she almost comes to a standstill.
Ian must have noticed something because he looks up and mouths “Sorry” to her. There’s no place to sit next to him so she sits five people away, but she can still hear them. Someone taps her on the arm and in her clouded thoughts she just now realizes she is actually sitting beside Kellee. She smiles and Kallos returns the smile. At least she was making some girl friends here. She has a feeling that the two girls sitting next to Ian wouldn’t be her best friends. She looks over at Ian and notices that he is gazing at her. She looks down at the table to hide her smile.
“So Ian, we heard about your party. Are you going to invite us?” The blonde asks as the black haired girl glares at Kallos.
“Of course you’re invited,
