--------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's note:

Yes, about the last chapter and all saying Haniel had an evil laugh... I. HAVE. NOTHING. TO DO. WITH IT.

I just ran out of words ya know....

Anyway... I hope you wouldn't think that the next chapters will be BOOOORRRINNNGG. I'll try my best to make all the scenes good and un-BORING.

Yes, and blah blah blah...yatta yatta yatta.... 

What ever... : )

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After the whole almost-blowing-me-up-to-bits fiasco, the next morning, Caleb was back into his old and annoying attitued. Good news for him, bad news for me.

Oh freedom.... WHERE ART THOU???

Anyway, he wouldn't stop annoying me. And during lunch, when I was passing by Lou and my other friend's table, Lou asked quietly,

"Are you two going out?" she lookd at Caleb warily "You two have been together lately"

NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!! Definitely NOOOOTTTT!!!!! A. BIG. FAT. NOOOO!!!!!

"No, Lou. We were just--" I was cut off when Caleb put an arm around me. Then he smirked.

"Yeah. We're going out. Got a problem with that?" he asked. And Lou and the others just stared... and stared....

And I was completely lost for words. What in BLAZES is he talking about??? Then I dragged him off towards the school grounds.

"Hey, what was that all about?" he asked.

"Why are you lying like that??" I demanded "Why did you tell them we're going out when in fact, we aren't"

"I don't know. I just felt like saying" he said, winking. Heck he is so irritating, annoying, frustrating and handsome......WAIT!!!!!

WHAT. IN. BLAZES. DID. I. JUST. THOUGHT. OF????? HANDSOME??? ICK...

"That's not an excuse to say whatever you want" I started going at the opposite direction when there was a loud CLANK! Then Caleb pulled me back. Me leaning on his chest, and feeling very very AWKWWWAAAARRRDDD. Because I remembered that he had hugged me yesterday....

"Like I told you.. I'm not letting you go, nor you will run away from me" he said, smirking.

"Whatever" I said. "We should research more about your father and stuff like that. I need to know more about him. Matbe that will make it easier to track him."

"Okay.." he nodded, but he looked uneasy.

"Hey.." I touched his shoulders "Hang on okay? We're going to make it.. Do you get me?" his annoying and playful smile returned. Heck, he is makingme ditzy with that smile of his....Shut up, brain.

"Roger that" he said, patting my head. I am not a dog, despite the fact that I am growling because he just messed up my hair.

We went to the library after school. (Yes, and this time, it's for real, I am not lying to Gabe again) And I asked what his father's name was.

"Cardinal Constantine" he said quietly. You know, I'm surprised he hasn't destroyed the whole building beacuse of his anger, you know. There was no hint of loathing on his tone when he said it. But his eyes told me his feelings.

I looked at the Archives, and found a lot of books. Whoah.... I have to study about 20 books and 2 pamphlets. Super homework. Again, I praise those who endured homework problems....
