Chapter Five

Archer disappeared into another hallway, leaving him alone with his thoughts. Orion was so caught up in his words that he almost ran smack into Devony who looked up at him with wide and happy eyes. It made his heart ache. If a girl who could look at him like that could cheat on him, he wasn’t sure about much in the world.

“Hey!” Devony said, wrapping her arms around his waist. “Surprised to see you here. We don’t usually run into each other until lunch and even that’s in passing.”

“Oh yeah, I must not have been paying attention.”

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?”

“I’m sure it’s just stress,” Orion said, pulling away slightly. Devony’s eyes looked hurt and she released him but she kept smiling.

“You must be going out of your mind,” Devony said. “The news teams are already here to set up.” She reached into her purse and held out a bottle of a migraine pain-reliever. “Think this will help?”

“N-no,” he muttered, pushing her hand away. “You know I don’t take drugs.”

“It’s over-the-counter,” she said, but put the bottle away.

“Drugs are drugs,” Orion said. “I need to keep a straight head, even if it hurts.”

Devony was looking at him closely when suddenly, a large boy came sprinting down the hall, knocking into her and sending her purse and everything in it flying everywhere. “Hey!” Devony shouted to the guy but he had already turned a corner. She quickly started to gather up her things, surprised that Orion didn’t bend over to help her.

“Are you sure you’re alright?” she asked, once everything she saw was picked up and packed again. “You’re acting weird. Can I at least get you a pop? Maybe the caffeine will help?”

She looked so innocent that Orion wasn’t able to resist her. Maybe Archer really was just being paranoid. He looped his arm around her waist which caused her to lean against him. “You don’t mind if I borrow her for a bit, do you, Ellie?”

“Not at all,” Ellie said, catching a glint of something on the floor next to her foot. “I’ll see you both at lunch.”

“See you,” Devony said, practically purring as they walked down the halls.

Once they were out of sight, Ellie bent over and picked up a tiny silver ring from the floor. It was a slim silver band with intricate engraving and a date on the inside. It wasn’t extremely valuable, but she knew how much it meant to Devony. It was a gift from Orion and she must have taken it off during her biology lab. Standing upright, she turned the ring around between her fingers, realizing that it wouldn’t fit anything but her left pinkie. “Heh,” she mumbled, holding it in her fist. “She’ll be glad that I found this.”

She began walking to her next class, when suddenly as she was passing a janitor closet, the door sprung open and a hand pulled her inside.

“Well, hello,” Archer growled in her ear, kissing her neck and cheeks. “I thought I saw you coming.
