Ren panicked and jumped when she heard Viora yell, and the boy winced. The teacher hadn't told her to sit down yet... Could it really be the Angel of Secrets? "How did you get my number?" she whispered harshly to him, eyes narrowing.

The boy smiled. "Nine numbers, seven spots. As an angel, through your call," he answered.

"Always speaking in riddles," Serenity pointed out, raising her eyebrows.

He nodded, rubbing his thumb against her wrist, sending a shock up her arm. She found that it was a nice feeling, but it felt familiar, and she finally sighed as he looked into her eyes with his. "Yes," he murmured. "They call me Laiyr in this life."

"Serenity," Ren answered in return.

"Mr. Everwood. Release Miss Fenn so she may return to her seat," the teacher called before returning to her conversation with Viora, who Serenity didn't pity nor envy, because Viora had confirmed everyone's suspicions. She had problems.

Laiyr glanced at the teacher as his smile slipped, creating a frown. Finally he nodded and his fingers slid away from Ren's wrist, though the feeling of his touch did not leave. "I'm sorry I mistook an angel for a devil's daughter," he apologized, his voice carried gently to her ears, though no one else heard. Ren blinked, not sure what he meant by that. She nodded anyway, feigning understanding and most importantly, forgiveness, before leaving and sitting down in her chair.

"What happened?" El asked, turning around in her seat.

"... Nothing," Seren finally responded.

El's mouth formed a pefect o as if she understood something. She sighed. "Okay, tell me later. Did you get the pencil?" she inquired.

Ren opened her mouth as if to respond, then closed it with a soft click. She checked her hands and pockets, then glanced back at Laiyr, who was tucking something into his pocket with a mischievous smile plastered on his face. "Um..." Truth was, Serenity had totally forgotten about the pencil of shame.

ooc: Great post, by the way, Viora. Now that I've gone through them meeting, I can move on to Jared. Oh, and if you can figure out the riddle on how Laiyr found out Ren's number, PM me and if you get it right I'll tell you what he means by how he mistook her for the devil's daughter. Hint: Serenity is known as the Angel of Vengeance AND Revenge.

"Viora, where were you?" Ren asked, turning to face her friend. The teacher glared at her, and Serenity quickly turned around to stare at her paper. "Where were you? What'd the teacher say?" she whispered softly to Vi, trying to get information out of her without getting the teacher's attention. She didn't want to go outside and have to deal with a lecture. El couldn't hear what they were talking about, so she continued note taking. She'd ace the test for sure. But Seren wasn't worried
