Chapter 1

Klaus stood at the top of the stairs as students hurried past him and on to their classes. The first bell rang right on time, signaling the students had five minutes before class started. Watching the courtyard empty, Klaus noticed a small group had yet to make a move. He groaned inwardly as he realized who was in the center of the six students.

She was smiling happily as she ran her fingers over the guitar in her hands. Her brown hair parted on the right side of her head and was shaved there. The rest of it swept down over her left shoulder. She had a diamond stud piercing in her nose and a tattoo of music notes starting behind her ear to trail down to her neck. The bow of her uniform was untied and looped around her neck like a scarf. She had a few of the top buttons undone to show far too much skin and she had two metal chains hanging from her right hip. Instead of appropriate footwear, she had on a pair of thigh high heeled boots. No doubt she was trying to make up for her five foot two height.

Before he realized what he was doing, Klaus began to storm his way over to the group. His gaze locked with emerald green eyes ringed in dark eyeliner as he approached.

"Here comes the Prefect, the Prefect, the Prefect," she said in a sing-song voice as her delicate fingers ran over the strings of her guitar.

"Didn't you lot hear the bell?" Klaus crossed his arms over his chest and the other students apologized and ran off towards the building. "Well, Pagano?" he said to the last girl.

Sienna frowned up at Klaus as he tried to intimidate her before rolling her eyes. "You are such a kill-joy, Goldstein." Sienna crouched down to put her guitar back into its case gently.

"You should really wear your uniform the right way," Klaus said as she stood again.

She looked at him but his amethyst eyes were averted and his face was red. "Are you... blushing?" Sienna realized the tops of her breasts and hot pink lacy bra had been on full display when she knelt down.

"Just button your shirt and get to class," Klaus said a little angrily before storming off.

Sienna couldn't help the smirk that crossed her face as she followed Klaus into the building. She managed to catch up to his long strides, she was shorter than him by about a foot, and step in front of him to stop him. She peered up at his face and swore it was still red. "Okay," she said.

Confused, Klaus asked, "Okay?"

"I'll keep it buttoned, but only if you button it yourself," she stepped closer.

Klaus stepped back, "Stop fooling around."

"I'm not fooling around. If you button it, I'll keep it that way. Cross my heart," she drew her finger across her bare chest in an 'X' shape. As expected, Klaus' gaze followed the movement.

Swallowing hard, Klaus fought the urge to turn and run away. She was doing this only to get under his skin as she always did. He didn't understand why, but it always worked. Klaus always ended up flustered and agitated after his frequent run-ins with Sienna. Gritting his teeth and trying not to look as much as possible, Klaus reached out and grasped her collar in his hands. She was smirking up at him as he shakily buttoned her shirt, covering up her creamy skin. Klaus stupidly fumbled on the last one before he finally got it in. What was wrong with him?

Sienna grabbed his wrists before he could pull away and came up on her tiptoes. Klaus sucked in a breath as her face came uncomfortable close to his own, their lips inches apart. "Thanks, Klaus," she whispered his name seductively before pulling away and striding down the hall.

Frustrated with her teasing, Klaus stormed off in the opposite direction. She had been tormenting him since before they arrived at the Academy years ago. Their family homes were very close and their fathers were good friends. Her father, Giancarlo Pagano, had been something of a mentor for Klaus. He was the head of the Elite Magic Knights and had personally trained Klaus as a favor to Walter Goldstein. Klaus had been at the Pagano house before his own induction into the Knighthood often. Sienna had ruthlessly teased him over the years and things only got worse while they were at school. He didn't understand why she bothered him so much and he was torn between hating it, and loving the attention she gave him.

Later, during the lunch period, Sienna grabbed herself some food from the cafeteria and moved outside to one of the courtyards. She found her usual bench already occupied with two of her friends and joined them. She plopped herself on top of the table and pulled out her guitar. Taking a bite of her sandwich, she played a few notes and jotted something down in her notebook.

"How's it coming along so far?" Ally asked. Sienna's roommate and best friend was the polar opposite to herself. She wore her blond hair neatly in a bun and her uniform was clean and pressed. She was a total sweetie with a heart of gold.

"I'm basically done. Just feel like something's off," Sienna sighed.

"C'mon, Sin," James used her nickname. He was Ally's boyfriend of a year now and the two were so cute together it was almost gross. "You're an amazing artist, you don't give yourself enough credit."

"Let's hear it, then," Ally said. "Play it for us."

"You really wanna hear it?" Sin asked.

"Absolutely," James said around the food in his mouth.

Shrugging, Sienna ran her fingers over the strings and started the song. She hadn't written any words for it yet, so she just played through it. At the end, her two best friends and several other students clapped cheerily. Sienna smiled wide, jumped on top of the table, and took an exaggerated bow.

"Get off the table, people eat on that," Klaus commanded from a few feet away.

Sienna groaned and rolled her eyes at him, "Every time I'm trying to enjoy my life, Captain Tight-Ass over here ruins my fun." She placed one hand on her hip and jabbed the thumb of her other in Klaus' direction.

Klaus moved over to the table and crossed his arms, "Now, Pagano."

Groaning again, while her friends snickered quietly, Sienna moved to get down. Unfortunately, her stupid heel decided to get stuck in the wood table and she found herself falling. She felt a shock of pain shoot through her ankle as it twisted awkwardly. Klaus moved instinctively and caught her before she could hit the ground, but had a feeling she might be hurt. "Are you alright?" He asked concerned.

"Honestly?" she attempted to put weight on her now free foot and winced, "Ow! No, I think I twisted my ankle."

Klaus pushed her onto the bench and crouched down in front of her. Sienna was surprised when his fingers brushed against her thigh, trailing heat as they went, and she jumped. Klaus rolled his eyes at her reaction and grabbed the zipper of her boot, pulling it down. He stubbornly ignored the fact that this could be mistaken as an intimate moment between lovers as he removed the boot from her foot gently, not wanting to cause her more pain. Already her ankle was swollen and red.

"Be honest, will I lose the foot, Doctor?" Sienna asked jokingly.

Klaus glared up at her, "You need to see a medic. I'll take you."

"Ugh, Klaus, I think I can get there on my own." She attempted to stand at the same time Klaus did, but could not put any weight on that ankle. "Ow, ow, ow!" She hissed as she grabbed onto Klaus' strong arms instinctively.

"Don't be stupid. You can't walk there," before Sienna could reply, Klaus was lifting her into his arms. He placed one hand behind her back and the other under her knees and began walking off.

"Wait, my lunch!" Sienna wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'll get you something after you're in the infirmary," Klaus said in his scolding voice.

"I'll bring your stuff back to the dorm!" Ally called out with a big smile on her face.

Sienna couldn't help the blush that crawled up her face as Klaus carried her through the school and past many of their classmates. She saw the looks of surprise and heard them murmuring. "M-maybe you should put me down," Sienna finally said.

"You can't walk, putting you down would get us nowhere," he said matter-of-factly.

"I could hop there. Besides, I'm probably really heavy."

"You're about two feet tall, you weigh nothing," Klaus stared straight ahead as if he was concentrating on something.

"I am not two feet tall, idiot," she hit him on the chest and realized how solid he felt. Carrying her must have been nothing at all to him. She wondered if he worked out a lot as she rubbed her hand over his chest.

"St-stop that," Klaus said as terrifying as a kitten.

She looked up to see a blush forming on Klaus' cheeks. Smiling she said in a seductive whisper, "I never realized how muscular you are, Klaus."

"Well now you know. So cut it out," he said this with more authority and Sienna stopped her caressing, even though she didn't want to. Instead, she just laid her head against him and listened to his rapid heartbeat.

The rest of the walk to the infirmary was in silence.

Turned out, she had sprained the ankle. The nurse was nice enough to let her rest in one of the rooms with an ice pack and ace bandage wrapped around her foot. Klaus stood guard by the door with his arms crossed and face turned away.

Finally breaking the silence, Sienna said, "Thank you, Klaus. For bringing me here."

"What are you thinking? Wearing shoes like that?" Klaus turned his angry amethyst gaze on her.

She shot a glare at him, "It's my right to choose what kind of shoes I want to wear and none of your damn business."

"You could have been seriously hurt," Klaus stormed over to her side.

If she could have, she would have jumped up on the bed to stare him straight in the eye, "Well I wasn't, so you can back off." She couldn't get this guy. One minute he was carrying her to the nurse and caring for her and the next he was yelling at her. What was his deal?

"And what will you do if I'm not there the next time it happens?" Klaus demanded.

She shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe some handsome gentleman who doesn't yell at me will save me and take me away so I don't have to listen to you."

Klaus frowned and Sienna felt like she'd gone too far. Before she could apologize, Klaus turned away. "Don't go anywhere. I'll be back in half an hour." The door slammed shut as he left the room.
