"Fair enough." I gave her the benefit of the doubt before pointing out "You and Brennan seemed to look okay at lunch."

Lana blushed and I took that as a sign that things were better between them.

"He is taking me out for dinner tonight to make it up to me for bailing yesterday." She voiced with a small smile.

"That is great that he is making an effort." I told her "I'm happy for you."

She smiled and then her grin dropped when she remembered something "What was with Stone today?"

"What do you mean?" I said, acting like I had not noticed the giant's behaviour.

"He looked so mad."

I replied with a small laugh "He always looks mad."

She made a noise of disagreement, but it came out as more of a tune of a song.

"He usually spends all of lunch bickering with you." Lana mentioned, her tone sounded full of worry "Today he just sat looking at you like he was plotting something."

I had noticed the same thing.

"This is a very serious and intense battle between us." I agreed as I continued tapping my pencil on the desk nervously "He is planning something."

"You got one thing right. It is definitely intense between you two."

Tidying the desk, I started to put my things back in my bag. I was getting ready to run when the bell rang. Something told me that Stone's words were not something to take lightly.

His declaration felt quite real. I did like winding up and taunting my overgrown rival, but I never wanted to see him angry. I did not want him to be angry at me.

I was going to avoid running into him so that I could avoid running into conflict with him.

Lana looked from my clear desk to my feet that were ready to run and she asked, "What are you doing?"

"I am just so excited for the weekend." I lied "Plus, I hate this class"

"That is because you don't put any effort in learning the language."

Fake gasping at her true statement, I replied "Je suis trop paresseuse pour apprendre une langue."

"What if one day I decide to move to France?" She huffed out.

The end of day bell rang and by the time the noise stopped, I was already halfway out of the classroom.

"If you moved to France then you would still be able to speak English." I turn back to Lana and blew her a kiss as I called back to her "Au Revoir!"

Lockers and classmates whizzed past me as I walked as fast as my little legs could go. I was one of the first people to exit the main entrance of the school.

I let out a sigh of relief.

That relief was short-lived as I noticed that Chase was not one of the people outside.
