"First of all bastard don't talk to her like that and second of all" He leaned forward with his voice husky and his expression stiff, "I am going to fuck you up before you even get to say the words help" His voice was extremely dark as he stared deeply into Percy's eyes. Okay shit bout to go down. 

"Now now why don't we all calm down eh?" I said while nervously laughing but the two gave no attention to me. Man Percy is gonna get a whooping. 

"Okay enough you two" 

"Stop alreeeaddddy" 

"Ajax stop it" 

"Come on-" Before I could say anything Percy's fist landed on my jaw. I stumbled and fell on my butt while grabbing my jaw. 

"Okay..-" 

"Enough" Ajax shot up from his seat making his chair crash into the wall behind him. He grabbed Percy's collar and punched him square in the nose

-- 

And that is why people right now Ajax and I are standing at the principal's office getting yelled at. 

"Now Miss Jones and Mr. O'Dean. I get the fact that it was self defense but beating the poor kid so he has to get to a hospital is un forgettable!" She shrieked out. My head hung low as Ajax was sprawled in the chair next to me. This idiot. 

"MR. O'DEAN!" 

"Yes ma'am?" He said ever so lightly. Ajax what are you trying to get yourself killed!? 

"Okay then punishment for both of you. You have to go and do the management team's work for today. You get to arrange every goddamn book in the library in alphabatical order" 

"Ma'am but that would take ages!" I whined as she passed me a stern glare. I groaned as she motioned for us to leave. I got up with Ajax tailing behind me. 

"You do know that the library is this way right?" I jerked my thumb towards my back as Ajax was going to the opposite direction. So you ask me why are we doing the work right now and not after school right? The thing is this is after school because the fight went hella long. Whenever we would break them both apart Ajax would be a cocky jerk and say some insult resulting in Percy to attack again. Then after this happened for about 7 times we had to stand the whole day with our arms raised in the field. And now we had to take a whole 1 hour lecture so there you have it. 

"Well Percy was insulting you at the first place. Means you do the work I only defended you" HE said while shrugging, shoving his hands in his pockets and smirking. The nerve of this guy! 

"Ajax you ARE helping me!" 

"Nope. Toodles" He did a little finger wave and walked towards the exit as I walked towards the library. What an ass. I walked towards the library and messaged Lily. 

To: Flower

I'll be coming home late. I'll tell you later why. Love you take care. 

Send. 

I shoved my phone in my pocket and walked towards the library. I put on some music and went on to work. 

-- 

"RAIN?!" My body on instinct went into fighting stance as I looked around. Ajax came running to me. He bend down and took deep breathes but then looked back up, startling me with the way he looked. Afraid. 

"Wha-" 

"WE NEED TO GO NOW!" He yelled and took a firm grip on my wrist and started running. I ran beside him as our footsteps echoed in the empty hall ways. Slight sun rays were dancing from the windows and sprawling all over the floor. The rays were a deep color of golden. That's when I heard more voices. Yells and heavy footsteps. Awh hell this is going to turn out to be an action scene ain't it? Time to take lead.
