Chapter Two

Everybody in the classroom became silent when they all heard Brisa's shrill voice echo throughout the entire room. This drew their curiosity seeing as Brisa never got angry with anyone at school. However, at this moment they were being completely ignored by the young girl. Seeing as how she was, too busy glaring at the new boy sitting next to her.

As for the young man in question, he too was staring at Brisa. Only on his face, he had a self-satisfied smirk on his face. It was obvious to him that he had managed to get under the girl's skin in record time. After all, it was only his first day of class and already he managed to antagonize a classmate of his. Although, he had to admit she was very pretty, particularly when she looked upset. He had the feeling he was going to enjoy coming to this new school, especially if she was going to be around.

Brisa on the other hand was beyond irritated she was positively furious over the entire matter. Not to mention, she was in total shock in seeing him in her class, much less sitting right next to her after what happened earlier. Nevertheless, he was here in the same school, the same classroom, and she was stuck. For there wasn't anything she could do about it.

Once the shock wore off, she began to stammer, "You…you…"

She than stopped to regain her some of her composure before continuing, "You're the idiot that nearly ran me over earlier, "she said accusingly as she pointed her finger in his direction.

Of course, with the cocky attitude he had and the smirk he was wearing on his face. He answered smugly, "For the record it wasn't my fault. Besides, I did stop…eventually."

With that last remark, towards Brisa he smirked once again. She returned it with an icy glare marring her face. Telling all that were present in the classroom how much she disliked the young man. Yet before she could even voice her opinion of what she thought of him the teacher felt the need to interrupt before the verbal sparring match could continue any further.

"Please Miss Traiger, do calm yourself. Whatever problem you and Mr. Curtis have I advise that you both settle it after school. In the meantime, I suggest that you both pay attention to the lesson that we'll be discussing today," said Mr. Gauss as he looked at the two students. With that said, Mr. Gauss began the lesson of the day.

Brisa on her part just gave one final glare towards the boy sitting next to her and turned to face the front of the classroom. As she sat there, she was desperately trying to concentrate on the lesson. Instead, though she was thinking to herself, 'Settle the matter with that self-centered jerk about what happened earlier this morning. Not going to happen unless Tartarus freezes overnight and I seriously doubt that it will, of course.'

Than something struck her odd about the thought, 'Tartarus…why in Hades' name am I using the Greek word for Hell? Then again, why am I mentioning Hades, as well? I'm not making any sense.'

With that last thought in mind, Brisa was left in a state of confusion. Seeing as she couldn't think of why she was thinking of those precise words. Therefore, instead of dwelling on it at this precise moment, she decided to forget about it. After all, it wasn't a big deal. For that reason, she decided to go back to listening to Mr. Gauss' latest lecture and to ignore the new boy who was sitting next to her.

As for him though, he was occupied in eyeing the girl with the long dark hair and wondering if he'd ever get the chance to get her name. Although, knowing his luck. He wouldn't be surprised if she didn't try to kill him since it was obvious that she didn't like him very much. Still there was always time to change her mind about him. Given that, he wasn't the type, to give up on a first try.

Brisa's friends were very curious as to what was going on between her and the new student. Sure, they knew about Brisa's temper. Yet for some reason they got this feeling that this was different. They just needed to know what it was exactly before they could put everything together and make sure nothing else could get worse.
