Stone chuckled once while his eyes set on the green hair that ended just above my belly button.

"I will buy a sombrero." I gritted out through clenched teeth.

His warm breath hit my cheek as I continued to act nonplussed while he leaned further over me.

"I'd noticed you anywhere." The gruff voice grunted lowly.

I looked up at him again and tilted my head at his comment.

A few seconds later and the same rough sounding noise escaped his chest as he added to his previous statement "Might need a magnifying glass."

I was four foot eleven, but I rounded that up to five foot two when people asked.

"I am not small!" I erupted, subconsciously standing on my toes to appear taller and to wiggle my finger closer to his face "You are just abnormally large!"

Lana and Brennan fell into a fit of laughter and it suddenly reminded me that they were still standing there.

My lips parted and I let out a sigh before taking a step away from his entrapping gaze.

"Both of your lockers are near Lana's." I voiced to both guys, but I only looked at Brennan "She can show you the way. I'm off to homeroom."

"But your locker is right next to mine—" She began but stopped when she noticed my glare.

Brennan laughed at my attempt at a getaway before pointing out "That was a quick tour."

I shrugged before turning to go "I am not getting paid."

A deep voice stopped me before I could leave.

"Where are you going, Medusa?" Stone grumbled out demandingly.

I swivelled on my heel and faced him with a sigh, fighting the urge to flip him off "I am going to class, Lurch."

His scowl deepened and his eyes darkened while his large hands twitched into fists at his sides.

I walked away from them, stealing once glance over my shoulder back at the pair of dark irises following me down the hall.

I prayed to every god and every school schedule maker that the giant would not end up in one of my classes.

Chapter Four

It was the period before lunch, and I was glad. One of the reasons was because I was starving and the other was because my next class was English.

English was my favourite class with my favourite teacher.

Lana was also in that class with me, and I was eager to hear more about her loverboy. I had not seen her since the encounter at the lockers. I had also yet to run into the two newcomers.

I turned the corner into the English block and hurried to pass the classrooms until I arrived at mine. The door was open and many of my classmates were already inside.

As soon as I stepped inside the classroom, my eccentric English teacher was there waiting to greet me.

"Hello, Ella!" The best teacher in the world stood up from his desk and spoke in his gleeful voice.
