AN: Sorry this took awhile. I own Samantha, Raissa, Hunter, and Alison.

Raye and Samantha walked out of their school. "You wanna do anything?" Samantha asked.
"Oh, I can't." Why did Raye keep getting an extremely weird feeling about this girl? "I have to go to a study group."
"Really? Oh, well, maybe I can go to it some time."
"Maybe. It's a little tough to follow, but we have fun."
"I'll think about it. See ya tomorrow!" Samantha ran off toward the parking lot.

Hunter walked into his apartment. "Hey, Al."
The girl in question looked up from her book. "You actually showed up? I thought you were avoiding her after what happened this morning."
"Ever remind that woman that we're only friends now?"
"Yeah. But you're the one who cheated on her."
"That's been over with."
"Well, you were paying a lot of attention to that blonde."
"Mina? Alison, you know I wouldn't unless I had to."
Alison shrugged. "I'm just warning you. Raissa is on a warpath."
"Like I wouldn't have guessed."
She sat back. "I wish you luck."

"So this new guy shows up at school today, and Mina just happens to land him by third period," Serena said. The girls were taking a quick study break over at the temple.
"He came up to him," Mina said, for what seemed like the hundredth time.
"Wow. What's he like?" Raye asked.
"Nice. Kinda cute. I like him."
The fire priestess nodded. "There was a new girl at my school today."
"And?" Lita asked.
"I'm keeping my eye on her. She's got something dark about her, and I don't think she's exactly human, either." Everyone else groaned.

"You know exactly what I'm afraid of, Hunter." Raissa's eyes narrowed.
Hunter sighed. "You were overseas at the-"
"Right. I come home from London to find you two, acting like I never existed."
"Raissa, cherie, you don't know why we started dating. Besides, Eva left as soon as you came back."
"Which is exactly why she dumped you."
"Anyway, I wouldn't do anything to Mina unless-"
"You're lying," Raissa snapped.
Hunter took a breath. "You know I won't unless something happens."
"Yeah, you know something's going to happen. And you can't hide it from me." Raissa turned her head, hiding a silent tear.

Mina flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes. Was Hunter really attracted to her? Or was she just to make that Raissa girl jealous?
"Problem?"
Mina opened her eyes to find Artemis staring at her. "You could say so."
"Anyway I could help?"
"Thanks, but I really I think it's not your area of expertise."
"Oh, so it's one of those problems."
"No offense, or anything. I don't think you've had much experience in the romance department."
Artemis smiled. "Mina, don't worry about it. If the guy doesn't like, then just forgot about him. And contrary to your belief, I have had some experience in romance."
