Ethan's pov
I wouldn't blame everyone for avoiding eye contact with me out of fear. The look on my face was everything that spelt out. I hate everyone. And... Don't mess with me. My new personal mission is to just stay clear of everyone, that way, I wouldn't get too close to hurt them with the badluck clutching to my shoulders like it's life depended on it.
Everything, it took everything in me to walk away from Ivy.
I don't want to, I don't want to be the reason she's hurt, and I should have thought of this before I allowed what was between us, grow.
But she said it... She told me she loved me.
Why can't you just give in and fight for a change? What are you so afraid of?
Her words were so filled with hope. Maybe she was right, maybe we could fight this together, maybe finally there's hope.
But- this isn't just about hope... This is about what Glory's capable of. I can't let her harm Ivy. I can't give her that.
She's taken too much already and I know she's looking for a reason to take Ivy away. I don't want to give her that.
I know better than anyone that Ivy's not leaving here. And Roman, who I thought would help convince her, was also in this psycho plan of hers.
But she loves you, and she wants you back.
I shook my head, reaching my locker.
My thoughts were at war, and no matter how much I tried to stop thinking about it, the more I do, the more I ask myself why I walked away from her.
"Thinking doesn't solve the problem, sharing does."
I stilled, knowing who it was before he leaned on the locker next to mine.
"Sup Ethan." He greeted.
Then again, there was the rumors about Ivy and Ralph. Together. I knew it wasn't true, because I knew Ralph was crazily into someone else and he's only looking out for Ivy cause he thinks I would have wanted that... Which by the way, he was right.
"Why are you talking to me Ralph?" I asked, pulling my Tcom from my locker.
"Cause I want something." He said.
I still didn't turn to him. "What." I stated.
"Ivy Fisher."
I paused for a second. What?
I closed my locker, more like slammed it harshly, causing heads to spin to our direction. Then I turned to him. "What?"
"Great." He grinned, standing upright. "Now that I have your attention, I'll tell you what I really want." He said.
I visibly relaxed. "Why the fuck are you bothering me, I'm in no mood for your games."
"Damn, relax... Gesh, I wonder why you're so riled, you both aren't together anymore, so it's obvious... Guys here are gonna turn their attention towards her, the only human girl in here. I can only imagine how many has-"
"Where are you going with this?"
This time he frowned. "Where I'm going with this? You're a motherfucking dumbass who doesn't value the love he gets from everyone around him."
I raised a brow at him, keeping my face stoic.
"She isn't Lacy bro, she's different, she's fierce and bold. I've never seen anyone like her. She's not gonna let Glory mess with her, that I'm sure of."
"I know."
"You know? Then why don't you join us. We can put an end to this once and for all Ethan. We can finally get revenge for everyone we've lost. Everyone Glory has taken from us."
"So you're one of them? You're one of the people telling her this could all end perfectly, without anyone getting hurt?"
"I'm not. In fact, I didn't want to have anything to do with it because it is a lost cause, but- there was that look in her eyes, that look that gave me hope... That maybe, just maybe, we have a chance. I mean, yes it's dangerous. But we wouldn't have to live the rest of our lives wishing we had at least done something."
I didn't want to admit it, but he wasn't wrong. But...
"I can't." I said.
"So that's it? You can't?"
"Listen, Ralph. You don't know Glory like I do. She would stop at nothing to erase-"
"If you don't do anything about it, she'll continue to do this."
I went silent.
"Look, I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to right now because of some stupid thought about ruining my life. And even though, you want nothing to do with me anymore, I still care about your fucked up life, and I'm not gonna watch you fuck it up even more. Talk to Ivy."
"Ralph, I can't-"
"Talk to her. She loves you. And I know you feel the same way. She's good for you Ethan... Hell, she's everything you need. Don't completely ruin your life and hers because you can't stand up to do the right thing."
I raked my hands through my hair. Letting out a breath of frustration. "You don't understand Ralph, I can't. I don't want her to get hurt. I can't let her get hurt. If she keeps on going through this path, she's going to get hurt. I'll die if anything happens to her. I just want her to be safe."
"And I understand that. But have you ever heard of taking risks? If you stay away from her, or try to send her away, you'll lose her forever, and you don't want that."
At this moment, I knew the look of helplessness had made a home in my eyes.
"Ivy doesn't have just you protecting her. There are a lot of people who believes in her. A lot of people yet to see that the outside is truly where we all belong. The human side, is the winning side Ethan. We both know it has always been. I'm only looking out for you. Talk to her." He said. "Please." he added before patting my shoulder and walking away.

Ivy's pov
I watched Ralph leave his side, my head fishing for clues to whatever they talked about. It looked serious, I would definitely peg it as a heated conversation.
The moment the sharp sound of a locker slamming shut reached the halls, my eyes had automatically followed the noise to see that it was Ralph and Ethan.
To be honest, I thought there was going to be some sort of fighting between the two, but as time passed, I noticed they were only talking.
I couldn't tear my eyes off their direction, and when Ralph left his side, I knew it had been something really serious, serious enough to mess my poor baby up. Cause right now, he had turned back to his locker his forehead connecting with it with his eyes closed and jaws clenched.
What the hell did Ralph tell him? I swear to God if it's something to make him over think things, Ralph would be the first person I'd gun down with my Royal Blazer or stab with my Scottish dirk.
Oh to hell with this, I was about to move towards his direction when he raised his head and turned, his eyes meeting mine directly.
There it was, his infamous look of frustration and confusion.
I would do anything to make him alright. The squeeze my heart gave was prove enough that I hated seeing that look on his face. It hurt to see him hurt.
We stood distance away from each other, but it felt like we were so close, the warmth I felt could not be mistaken for anything else.
He was the first to break eye contact, facing his locker, which pulled open immediately, he threw the Tcom inside, slamming it shut and walking straight outside the doors of the school.
I was about to follow him when a voice stopped me.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
I whipped my head to the direction of the voice.
It was... Code.
Abby's twin brother.
His wavy hair rested carelessly on his head as he leaned on a locker, watching me with calculated blue eyes. Like ice...
"Why?"
He shrugged. "Well, Ethan's kinda like different, he can leave when ever he likes cause he has this weird relationship with the woman who owns the place."
"So?"
"So you'd get punished and he won't." He said.
I sighed.
"I'm Code by the way."
"Ivy. Is Code your real name?"
"No. I hate my real name."
"Oh."
"It's Abram."
"Oh, Abram is a cool name... Abby and Abram. You both are twins anyway."
He chuckled. "Yeah we are, but we're nothing alike."
"I can tell." I said, for some reason, I felt uncomfortable.
"You can? You think I'm cooler?" He raised a brow, a smirk forming on his lips.
"Um... I mean, your power is cool."
"Yeah." He raised his hand to my view, I watched as they took in that Icy glow, his eyes glowing with it. "Ice can melt anything... Any fire... Everything... At least, my ice." He said.
I gulped down, his smile turning into something else. It creeped me out.
Maybe he's not all that different from Abby.
The glow faded off, from his hand and eyes.
"Well, I just wanted to stop by and let you know that you're really brave and I would love to get to know you more." He said, his eyes creepily lingering on mine.
"Um... Thanks, but I think I'm going to um... Head off to class." I said, about to walk away but he pushed my shoulder slightly to stop me from moving as he stood upright.
"What's the rush about Ivy?"
"Touch me one more time and I'll break your fish fingers before you even manufacture salt water ice from them."
"Whoa, relax love, it's not like I'm gonna freeze you to death right here, even if I can."
"Call her love one more time, and I'll decapitate you faster than you can say, Code... Abram."
I froze, watching Code's eyes turn a pale blue as he backed away slowly before turning and sprinting down the hallway.
My heart almost collapsed to the floor when I turned immediately, finding Ethan behind me.
I thought-
He held my wrist, a smile on his lips as he said, "Come on ponytail, we need to talk."
