Moving On

Chapter Three

I turned, but I knew it was too good to be true. 

"What do you want Jason?" I asked, wishing that I had just kept walking. I was drawing way too much attention to myself. 

He gave me a smirk, placing his arm around my shoulder. I could've sworn I heard a growl behind me, but I ignored it. I was too curious about what Jason was doing. He had never acknowledged me with more than a 'Hello' before this moment. 

"Uh, Jason?" Even Lucy was confused as she watched her brother, as lost as I was. 

"I just came over to invite my little sister and her friends to our table at lunch!" He said it easily, like it was the best idea in the world. 

Lucy raised her eyebrow at me, exchanging glances with my new friends before, eventually, shrugging. "Sure, I don't see why not. But..." Lucy cast a dark look towards the group currently surrounding Dimitri, "I don't want to see a bunch of whores hanging around you and 'Mitri. First sign of even a hand hold, and we're out." 

Jason shrugged, giving an easy smile. "Sure, lil' sis. I'll make sure the message gets around." His arm left my shoulders and he walked back to the group, talking animatedly to them. 

I turned back towards Lucy, looping my arm through hers. "Lead the way!"

School turned out to be boring. The first day was full of syllabus review followed by syllabus review and then more syllabus review. 

Basically, don't be a douche, don't take things for granted, come to class on time, and be prepared for anything. 

The first things I noticed when I walked into the lunch room was Lucy's waving arms. The second thing I noticed was Jason and Dimitri sitting across from her. 

I knew lunch was going to be interesting, especially considering the stares I was getting from the people sitting around them.

I blushed, ducking my head as I hurried over and sat next to Lucy. "You know," I muttered, "I was trying to keep a low profile. And you," I shot a glare at her brother who simply shrugged, "are not helping."

Dimitri smirked, leaning back in his chair. "If you wanted to keep a low profile, you should be sitting with someone else." He shot a look at the people around us who suddenly found the other side of the room very interesting.

Lucy spoke next, shooting a glare at Jason. "We didn't really have a choice, did we Jay?"

Again, he shrugged, giving an innocent look. "I'm sorry that I wanted to hang out with my sister and her," He gave me a once over to which I blatantly ignored, "best friend."

Again, there was a low growl that seemed to be coming from Dimitri but... That couldn't be, right?

"Willa? Willa Thompson, is that you?" A male voice came from behind Jason and Dimitri, making me pause and look up.

"W-what are you doing here?" I hated the way I stuttered around him, and Lucy was staring at him with hatred in her eyes.

"I thought you knew; I transferred here three years ago."
