become one of those girls.   I like Anna, she just… doesn’t know how to deal with people well.   If she hadn’t been friends with Missy so long, I doubt they’d even be friends.   Missy seems like a decent person.   Some girls drop friends they consider uncool when they get into high school.”
     
    “So we can stay, right?”
     
    Lyssa glanced over before taking a corner fast.   Once again, she had checked before they headed home.   There wouldn’t be any cops or traffic, “We stay as long as no one suspects anything.   And as long as the Hunters don’t come to realize we are here.”
     
    “Will they come again?   Will they really find us again?”
     
    Lyssa answered the only way should could, “I don’t know.   But if they do, we’ll handle it.   It could be a few random ones that are in the area and the group won’t know about it.   There is no way of knowing until I get a flash that they know where we are.   But I won’t ever let anything bad happen to you, Lexa.   I promise you that.”
     
    “You always say that.   But what about you, Lyss, what do you want?”
     
    “I just want you to be safe.   I just want us to not have to run anymore.   But that’s not the case.   All because of me.”
     
    Lexa fell silent, what could be said to that after all?
     

 
    Chapter 5
     
    When Lexa got to school the next day, Missy came bouncing over and gave her a friendly hug.   It was a relief to feel like she belonged in this school.   Anna gave her a nod, it wasn’t overly friendly but it was progress.   Lyss had told Lexa that she thought Anna was just shy and that maybe she guarded her friendship with Missy because she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to make other friends.   Maybe Lyssa’s theory was true.   It didn’t matter.   No matter how deadpan Anna was, Lexa was determined to be nice so she gave a huge smile and nodded back.
     
    “Lyssa said no way in hell is she going out with Kyle today.   Sorry.”
     
    Missy laughed, “Well, I guess I saw that coming.   He certainly won’t go with us.” She clutched at her heart, “My dream…my dream!”
     
    Lexa giggled, relieved Melissa wasn’t pissed.   Anna said nothing as usual.   Lexa was getting used to that, however, so it was a surprise when Anna suddenly initiated a conversation, “So yesterday was fun, did your sister wear any of those new clothes?”
     
    Lexa laughed, “Are you kidding, I think she’s planning on returning them.”
     
    Anna frowned, “That’d be a waste.   They really looked good on her.”
     
    “I know but Lyssa is… modest.”
     
    “She give Kyle her number yet?”   Missy asked eagerly.
     
    Shaking her head, Lexx sighed, “No.   She was seriously dreading her first class today.   She doesn’t know how to handle guys at all!”
     
    Missy snickered as they separated from Anna and headed off to class.   It was a relatively quiet morning with nothing really going on.   When they got to lunch, however, Lyssa’s eyes were huge and her gaze was darting about until she locked onto Lexa.   She hurried over, her little lunch cooler in her hand.   Kyle walked in a minute later with a smug smile and stepped into the lunch line.   His rich brown eyes kept darting over to Lyssa until he was sure where she was sitting.
     
    Lyssa sat down and started to pull out her lunch.   Cold chicken from last night, a salad and a piece of chocolate cake all packed in their containers, which fit into her cooler.   It wasn’t what she had for lunch that made Missy and Anna’s eyes go wide, it was the amount.   Lyssa worked out hard, she also ate a lot.
     
    “I’m officially jealous.   I thought Lexa ate a lot.”
     
    Lyssa gave a small smile and tried to engage in conversation, “Yesterday I was starved, I was so glad when we went out after school.”
     
    Anna quietly eyed both sisters before turning back to her own food.   She actually had quite a bit herself, just not as much as
