"What kind of question is that?" Brennan chuckled so hard that it made his forehead crease.

A small shrug was my reply.

Nobody answered my question until the giant leant closer and hunched downwards so that he was closer to my face.

"You would be Pluto." Stone uttered lowly.

I knew exactly what he meant so I sent him the scariest look I could manage to paint on my face.

Pluto was the dwarf planet. Pluto was small which was just like my size.

"I will kill you." I blurted out while trying to bite my lip to contain my amusement.

His comment was kind of funny, so a laugh was threatening to break out from the confinements of my chest. I held it back because I did not want to give him the satisfaction of making me laugh.

Stone's gaze went to my mouth. His eyes lightened when it fell upon my lip that had uncontrollably moved up in a small, amused smile.

"Kill him, Ella." Brennan encouraged from the other side of the table.

The giant never offered him a single glance. He kept his attention fixed on me as he reached out and picked up an apple that was on his lunch tray.

"You never eat apples, Stone." The smoother and silkier voice of the two men spoke up "I thought you didn't like them."

I turned to see Brennan grinning like a madman.

Biting into his apple, Stone sent a terrifying glare across the table that was enough to deter an army from getting close to him.

I flicked my gaze between Stone and Brennan and wondered why they were hating on apples.

I loved the smell of apples. I loved it so much that I always used apple scented shower wash and body butter.

A triumphant grin made its way onto my face when I seized the opportunity to pay the giant back. I waited until he was distracted with eating and then I slipped the five dollars into the pocket of his leather jacket.

Stone never noticed my slipping of the money in his pocket, but he did notice my smile because he questioned demandingly "What has made you smile, Medusa?"

My grin grew when I hummed tauntingly "I'm reminiscing about that wonderful time at the ice cream parlour when you were completely silent.

Chapter Seven

"Do you think Stone has calmed down yet?" Lana voiced her concern as we strolled out of our last period class "He still looked livid at lunch"

"I hope so." I replied while thinking back to the gym episode and how angry he still was at lunch "We are getting in the car with them. I don't want it to turn into a scene from Road Runner."

"Are you trying to say he might run us off the road?"
