I get home and run to my room, still too mortified to speak.

There is a letter on my desk, upon recognizing the familiar neat scrawl, I tear it open and read it eagerly.

Dear Marion,

It sounds like you are certainly having an interesting time at home. You may have trouble with him now, but I know Henry Jones Jr. and he is most certainly a good man to be friends with, mark my words. I wish I could say that my life here is eventful as well, but not anything has happened. All we know is that we're trying to find the head piece to the staff of Ra.

I can't write much more, but don't worry, I've got a surprise that'll make up for it.

Much love,

Oxley

I grab a random piece of paper and write a reply as quick as possible.

Dear Ox,

Actually, Indy and I are getting along today. My girl friends are completely going crazy over him, but I just see him as a guy who beat up another guy for me today. I'll tell you the whole story when I see you again. Good luck with the head piece of history, and make sure you don't get too cooped up with all those stuffy professors in New York. It's not good for the soul.

Love,

Marion

I leave the addressed letter on my desk and go down stairs to the phone to call Carrie, who is at home by now I'm sure.

As soon as the phone picks up I hear a squeal of mirth.

"Carrie? What's wrong?" I asked frantically, thinking she is getting hacked by an axe murderer or something. Hey, it CAN happen.

"Indiana Jones is the cutest and best looking archaeologist on the entire earth!" She screams into the phone, making me go deaf in one ear.

"He's like your night in shining armor!" She continues to rant. "He came and beat up Brandon Marlo for you, he would have picked you up and carried you off if you weren't able to stand! Oh My Lord, how can you NOT be in love with him? All the other girls are and that's for certain!"

"He's Indy!" I protest, though its probably not a good excuse. We've been studying for over a week now and I can't seem to see any flaws in his character. It's extremely irksome.

"He's gorgeous." She replies back.

I'm about to give another defiant comment but then Indiana walks into the room.

"I have to go Carrie." I mutter.

"Fine. But I will come over this weekend after school so I can meet him properly."

"Alright, you little floozy." I joke, laughing as I put the receiver down.

I stand up as Indy is in my vicinity.

"Why did you beat up Brandon Marlo for me?" I ask sharply.

He looks at me as if he doesn't recall, but then it dawns on him. "Oh, the kid who was touching you? He deserved it."

"I had the whole situation under control." I snap, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I'm sure you did." He scoffs.

"I DID!" I insist, stamping my foot. " I don't need a knight in shining armor. I can handle myself!"

"Alright, I'll remember that." He says, turning away.

He turns back. "I'll see you tonight. But don't expect a warm welcome."

"And why would I want to see you tonight?"

"Because I'm your only hope of passing school, sweetheart." He says with a cocky grin before walking away.

I seethe with anger as he does so.
