Ryan's P.O.V

"C'mon Cassie, its not like I spend every single moment of the day with her. I'm just trying to help her control her abilities and train. You're being stupid and unreasonable." I said. She hadn't stopped walking so I was forced to follow her.  

I'm being unreasonable? You've been with her more times in the past week then you've been with your girlfriend!

"Cassie, it's my job to train her. I vouched for her and I am the only other demigod who can help her in the school, you know that."

I don't care. I need attention just as much as she does.

"You're starting to sound like a belligerent child."

I can get much more aggressive then this.

I stopped and yanked her arm to pause her movement and she swung around to slap me but I caught her arm.

"No matter how angry you get, don't you dare try to hit me. That's not cute nor funny." I growled.

Through her tears I saw her eyes twinkle.

"What you gonna do if I do?" She said. Her tears had stopped and she smiled

"Cassie I'm serious, I don't like that." I said with finality. She continued to flirt.

"I've been bad." She whispered. She tried to stroke my arm but I moved away.

"What's wrong with you! Here I am trying to move on to something more fun and you reject me, what the hell." She said. The flirtatious tone In her voice gone.

"I don't find domestic abuse, or anything close to that funny."

"Oh please, it's not like I'm an abusive girlfriend."

"Physically, no. Verbally yes."

"Don't be such a pussy." She scoffed

"There it goes right there!" I was livid right now. I needed to clear my head and talk to her later. Without saying anything I just turned around and left.

Cassie was kind of annoying ever since we started dating. She was needy and was so physical. Every time we hung out she would advance and we'd end up making out or some other kind of sexual embrace. I wanted to be able to sit and talk and relax rather then have my bones jumped each time I wanted comfort in my partner. Not to mention, she was jealous of Amirah.

Amirah had been taken in and studied here now. I had managed to convince the Professor and Logan that she would no longer be a threat and that I would personally see to it that she abide by the rules and not threaten the safety of the school. Every chance I got I helped her train and control her 'blackouts' as she called them. They were responsible for killing her rapists and amazing feats in battle. We haven't figured out what triggers them but we know that her body takes over and she doesn't remember what happens. Without her armor, more importantly her helmet, she is pretty much useless in battle. For some reason her battle skill is limited to the confines of her helmet, it could have to do with her past trauma or the fact that she was raised muslim but she believes it's just her being a coward.  

After a long day of training I began to head down for dinner but she didn't follow.

"Aren't you hungry?" I said. I was starving after training, I cant imagine she wasn't.

"Can't I'm fasting." She said. I was taken back but remembered that she was raised muslim.

"I can't eat until 8. And even then it's only soup and crackers." She informed me. She turned to go upstairs and I followed her.
