The next day, Angela woke up feeling a little better. She was happy to get on Warren's good side… he was much better when he wasn't in a bad mood. When she arrived at her locker, she felt eyes on her. She looked around, and met eyes with Warren. She didn't know whether to smile or look scared. So, she gave him a small grin, and walked into homeroom. She waited a few more minutes, and soon enough, Warren appeared in homeroom too. He sorts kept an eye on her, but he didn't glare. When lunch finally came, Angela sat in the same seat as she did before, but this time, two boys sat down beside her.

" Hey cutie I'm Lash." He held his hand and waited for her to shake it. She just glared at him , and pushed his hand away. " Hey now, I'm only giving you a friendly greeting." He smiled as he inched closer to her. Angela felt trapped.

" Get away from me." She went to get up, but Lash pulled her down. " Let me go!" she shrieked as she pulled away. Lash smiled evilly as he reached down to take hold of her arm. But, Lash's eyes widened and he stepped back. Angela found a hand on front of her face. It was Warren's. She looked up at him sorta socked. She took his hand, and felt herself be lifted up.

" She told you to leave her alone." Warren growled. Lash tried to be big and bad.

" Is she your girlfriend now?" Warren looked at Angela… she looked at him as if she didn't know what to say. Warren glared at Lash, and ignited his arms. Angela stepped back in fear and watched as Warren took another step towards Lash. Before Warren could do anything, Lash ran off. Angela looked at Warren in disbelief.

"Thanks." She said as she went to sit back down. Warren stopped her.

" Sit with me for today, just to be sure he doesn't bother you again." Warren sat her down next to him at his table. Angela felt safe when she was near him, though she didn't know exactly why. As lunch passed by, people began to notice that Warren was sitting with Angela…and automatically the gossip began to spread. It was getting to the point where everyone was just staring at them. Warren didn't care…but Angela did. She hated it when people would stare, it got annoying. When lunch was over, Angela waited till Warren was alone to talk to him.

" Thanks for today, you didn't have to." She said nervously as Warren took a couple of books from his locker. Warren looked at her.

" Well… Lash is always picking on the girls, so I thought that maybe you needed a break. Listen, don't take this the wrong way." Angela felt her heart drop a little.

" Don't worry." She said. " I wont." She turned and walked away. Warren watched her until she disappeared into the classroom. Warren then realized that he would be seeing her again. She was his lab partner…that sneak. Warren walked into the classroom just before the bell rang…making Mr. Medulla sigh that stupid annoyed sigh.

" Mr. Peace could you please join your partner before I have to assign her a new one." Medulla said as he looked over at Angela whom was alone. Warren looked over at her and walked to her. " Mr. Peace, next time try to be here before the bell rings…so that Angela here may not wonder where her partner is." Neither Angela nor Warren said a thing. And when it was time to build the freeze ray, Angela made it look like Warren did all the work.

You don't have to do everything yourself you know." Warren said as he took the ray gun. Angela sighed and looked at him.

" Well, I don't want Medulla to nag you… he always does… well at least it seems that way." Warren shrugged.

" What are teachers supposed to do for fun then?" Angela smiled and held in a laugh. Warren tried his best not to smile back. Smiling wasn't the thing for a tough pyro to do, not in school at least. " Hey, are you coming to the Paper Lantern tonight?" Angela looked up at him.

" More than likely yes. Why?" she was hoping that she was thinking the same thing he was.

" Well, I would like to talk to you more. And I need help on this whole science deal." He looked at a paper that Mr. Medulla had given them. " I don't really get any of this." Angela smiled and took the paper.

" Well, it will more than likely get easier as we go." She read through the questions. They looked very easy to her. But, if it was keeping her closer to Warren, then she really didn't care on how easy or how hard it was.

When school was over, Angela wanted to talk to her mother about the whole deal between her and Warren. She knew her mother may not be too thrilled that her daughter was talking to Barron Battle's son, but Warren was worth it.

" Uhh mom?" she looked into her mother's office. Josie looked up from her laptop and smiled at Angela.

" yes dear? Angela looked at the ground.

' I'm going to the paper lantern to help a friend out with some homework."

Josie smiled.

" Ok, who is it?" She was excited at first, but the answer shocked her.

" Warren Peace." Josie's eyes widened.

" Warren Peace? The son of Barron Battle? Angela…" Angela cut her mother off.

" Mom its not a date, its just some homework stuff." Josie sighed and looked at her pleading daughter. Angela knew saying his name would only bring trouble, but she didn't care. Warren was not a bad person. " He's not like his father mom, you know it. I already told him that I was going to help him so I'm going to live up to it.

" But Warren Peace?" Josie stopped when she saw Angela grow angry. " Sorry honey its just…"

' You don't like him? Well lets get this straight, Warren is nice to me. He wants my help. And I'm going to give it to him. I don't need to be protected." Angela stormed out of the house….Josie knew that Angela had fallen for Warren. And stopping her would only bring her anger and grief.

Warren waited for Angela to come. The manager said that of Angela came, he would be able to take time off. When he saw her walk into the restaurant, he thanked god for dropping a girl on earth who had some common sense.

" hey." Warren called. Angela looked over and smiled at him. He had his hair up again, just the way she liked it. He and Angela sat down at a booth and began to talk. " Thanks for coming, you got me out of work." Angela blushed.

' No problem. So.. how are you?" Warren snapped his fingers, and he lit a candle on fire. Angela smiled and shook her head. " I thought we weren't supposed to do that." Warren smiled. God that smile was beautiful.

' I'm a rebel, I can do whatever I want." He then took out his paper, which had that assignment on it. As they worked, Angela realized that Warren had moved to sit beside her… she was in too much of a trance to really even care. Warren Peace was beside her. The hottest guy in school… they worked throughout the evening until they were done.

" O great, it storming." Angela groaned as she looked at the terrible mess outside. Warren stood beside her.

" You're not thinking about going out there are you?" he asked sternly. Angela looked up at him.

" Well I cant stay here." She took out her cell. Warren took it from her hand.

' One, its terrible out there for any vehicle to travel. And two, you don't have a car." He knew he had won when Angela tried to think of an excuse. " You trying to run away from me or what?" Angela felt her heart race again.

" No. I really like you, but I have to somehow get home." Warren smirked.'

" Not in this weather you're not." He nodded over by a door. " My apartment is connected to the restaurant… you're gonna have to deal with me until that storm slows down. Angela crossed her arms on front of her.

" Are you my father now? You cant make me stay here, I have my own iron will." Warren laughed.

" Yea but you forgot that I can still overpower you." He suddenly lifted her up into his arms. He then carried her up to his apartment. " See?" Angela felt her face turn a bright red.

" Ha ha ha…very funny." She sat down on his couch. " Do you mind if I lay down?" Warren shook his head and smiled.

" Go ahead." He watched her fall asleep and smiled. She was much more prettier than her mother..
