and brings it to his lips and kisses it lightly. He gives her hand one last squeeze and then walks away. Kallos watches him walk all the way to the doors; he never looked back.

Sean is hurt that Kallos wants to be alone with Ian. He knows that Ian is going to brag about this and Sean just might hit him. Last night after he got off the phone with Kallos, his brother came home. Ian's eyes weren't black anymore, and Sean doesn’t want to find out what he did to change them. Now, he has to release his anger somewhere. He walks to his locker, but a red head is blocking it. Great, he doesn't want to deal with Mary. They were together for a few months, and he broke up with her. It isn’t fair that he couldn't give her his heart.
“Hey, Mary,” he says, and she slowly turns around. She is truly beautiful. Her bright green eye, pale skin, and bright red hair makes her stand out. Too bad there weren’t sparks when he was with her.
“You used to call me Red,” she says and pouts. When they dated, that is what he would call her, but it doesn’t feel right. All he can think about is Kallos and her sparkling blue eyes.
“Can I get to my locker?” Mary glares at Sean.
“I heard something about you” she says and puts her hand on his face. He stares down at her and her smile widens.
“What have you heard?” He can only guess it's about Kallos. Mary is very jealous and has shown it in the past. His only concern is for Kallos; his ex is crazy and powerful.
She moves closer to him and wraps his arms around his waist. “That you and the new girl are together.” She looks up at him and bats her eyes. “Yesterday I saw your brother kissing her.” What? Ian kissed Kallos. He looks at Mary, and she is grinning from ear to ear. She moves her hand from his face to his shirt.
“Please let go of me Mary.” He tries to move away, but she holds on tighter.
“I will get you back. You are mine, not the new girl’s.” She glares at him, and he pulls her hand away from his shirt.
“I don't think that is going to happen,” Sean says calmly; he doesn't want to hurt her. She quickly looks down. At one point, he did care about her. He knows that she is in love with him, and he wishes he could take it from her.
“Why not?” Mary asks and looks up to meet his eyes. He can see in her eyes how he has hurt her. Her pale cheeks are streaking with her tears that are falling from her obvious heartache.
He takes a deep breath and grabs her hands. “Any guy would be lucky to have you. But I am not that guy.” He can see the tears in her eyes, and he brings her hand to his lips. “I'm sorry that I hurt you.” She nods and takes her hands back. Then she turns around and walks away from him. He finally gets into his locker.
“I don't think I have ever seen you that nice before.” Sean glances over his shoulder and sees Kellee.
“Well, I feel bad.” He grabs what he needs and turns around.
“Right and it has nothing to do with Kallos?” He really hasn't talked to Kellee before. She is more Ian's friend, and they don't share well.
“I am a nice guy,” Sean says, and she starts to laugh. He doesn't blame her. He has been a jerk to almost everyone. “Look, I know that I have been a jerk to you, and I'm sorry.” Kellee's mouth drops open, and he smiles.
She clears her throat. “Jerk is too nice of a word. But thank you for telling me you're sorry.” She smiles at him and walks away. He heads to his homeroom.

Kallos can see Ian watching her from the corner of her eye. She looks over at him and he grins. “I met Aphrodite,” she says. He comes to her and takes her hands in his.
“That means that your change is coming.” Ian says; he is standing in front of her. When he is this close to her, she can’t breathe. She forces herself to take a deep breath.
“She told me a way to relieve the pain.” He looks away, and she can tell that he is remembering the pain.
“How?” His eyes pin her with his baby
