Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,62

this morning. Now, he isn’t even paying attention to her. Ian looks at Kallos, and his eyes aren’t his. She gasps and looks away. Sean notices his brother’s eyes. They have turned a dark blue, almost black. Kallos looks over at Sean, and his mouth is hanging open. He is just as shocked as she is. Kallos has seen Sean’s eyes change and even Ian’s, but this is different.

“What’s going on?” She asks Sean, and he turns his head to look at her.

“I’m not sure, but I’m going to find out. I have to leave you alone for a little bit. I need to call my mom. If I feel that you need me, I’ll be back.” Sean stands up and kisses her before he leaves. She hopes he finds out what is going on. It’s as if Ian is a completely different person.

“So, Kallos, how are the Hunter boys treating you?” She doesn’t have to see who is asking her; she recognizes Brandon’s voice. Kallos does notice that everyone turns to look at her, and all are waiting for a response. Ian is the only one not staring at her, but he isn’t fooling her; she knows he’s paying attention. She isn’t going to give Brandon an answer. She just gives him a smile and gets up.

Kallos doesn’t want to deal with drama, and it seems that drama is all Brandon is after, that and to get at Ian. She doesn’t really know if that would even work, now since Ian is so different. She does know that she better be leaving; if she has an attack, there would be no one to help her. Sean is off calling his mom to find out what’s going on, and Ian is acting like he doesn’t care. She knows that he does, but there is something going on. Hopefully, they will know what is going on soon.

Kallos decides to go out to the garden and to the bench that Sean and she sat on yesterday. It's just like yesterday; there are some people out there but not near the garden. It's a little nicer out today, and the bench is in the sun. She sits down and just looks around. The other students are doing all different things. Some are studying, but most are in groups talking and laughing. Kallos feels alone, and a little sad. If Ian weren’t acting so weird, he would be the one out here with her. She shakes her head and says “Stupid” under her breath.

“Who’s stupid?” Kallos nearly jumps out of her skin. She spins around and sees Brandon. “Whoa, calm down. I didn’t mean to scare you.” She narrows her eyes.

“Brandon,” she says, and she knows that she sounds breathless. “What are you doing here? Are you following me?” That’s creepy. He smiles at Kallos, and she can see that he is related to Ian and Sean. His smile could take most girls’ breath away; good thing she isn't most girls.

“I’m here to make sure you are okay, so I guess I am kind of following you.” She is thankful that they have a bench in between them.

“I’m fine; so now you can leave.” Kallos knows that it's rude, but she really doesn’t care. Ever since she has met him, he has been trying to start something with Ian. Or, maybe he is the reason Ian is acting strange.

“You know I don’t know you that well, but I think you may be lying to me. I know that Ian is treating you like crap, but you don’t need to take it out on me.” Once again, he attempts his charming smile on her. It still isn’t working.

“He was fine until you showed up.” Well, that’s a little lie. Last night is when she saw Ian start to change, but she isn’t going to tell Brandon that. “Can you please just go? I want to be alone for a while.” It takes him a second to respond, but he nods. Then, he reaches into his back pocket, grabs a piece of paper and a pencil, and writes something down. He hands it to her. Kallos glances at the numbers on it, and she is taking at good guess that it’s his phone number.

“If you need anything, call me.” That is all Brandon says, then he turned around and leaves. At least now, she is alone. Kallos knows that she can’t be alone a lot because she doesn’t know when an attack will happen. She also
