embarrass yourself Elizabeth. You and I both know you don’t want none.”
    “Man, if you put hands on her its over for you, dog food,” came the voice of Bradly, Elizabeth’s so called boyfriend.
    “Then tell your little bulldog to leave me the hell alone,” Sanaya replied evenly.
    “Bradly, get off of Elizabeth’s nuts and grow your own,” Maya retorted, rising from her seat, silently daring one of Elizabeth’s flunkies to try something.
    “I’m not scared of this little homeless cunt!” Elizabeth seethed, her midnight blue stare challenging Sanaya to react.
    When Sanaya slowly rose from her seat, the entire room went quiet. Sanaya and Elizabeth stood eye to eye just inches away from each other. Feelings of repressed rage bubbled just beneath the surface of Sanaya’s honey brown skin forcing something deep within Sanaya to snap. A calm, heavy hand landed on her shoulder snapping her out of the daze she was in, and she knew instinctively who the hand belonged to.
    “What’s going on ladies? Did someone lose a glass slipper?” Archer asked suspiciously, his hard gaze raking over Elizabeth and Sanaya, followed by Bradly, and the rest of the six teens who were led by the descendent of Van Helsing.
    “Nothing is going on Archer,” Sanaya said coolly. “Elizabeth and her pack of Dingoes were just leaving.”
    Elizabeth scowled and hesitated before throwing in the towel. She motioned for her crew to follow her, and they left the cafeteria without another word.
    “The cafeteria is now closed!” Archer announced to the remaining students still sitting at the nearby tables. “The party is officially over! There is nothing new to see here and remember this is finals week so it would be best if you head straight to your dorms to study. This week will determine who stays and who will be sent home. Study hard.”
    While the remaining student audience uttered disgruntled mumbling as they picked up their trays and headed towards the door, Archer eyed Maya and Sanaya, his expression unreadable.
    “You two,” he said firmly. “Come with me.”
    Maya glanced at Sanaya who simply shrugged and picked up her tray while Archer waited. Sanaya did not need to think about what would have happened had Archer not shown up, but she was grateful that ever since she met the man,  he seemed to know when she was in trouble and showed up just in time. She placed her tray on the roll away table by the door for students to put their plates, trays and silverware on and waited for Maya to do the same. The two walked side by side as they followed the Guardian who led them from the dining hall through the courtyard into the three story annex building. The almost thirty minute walk in silence was enough to push Sanaya over the edge. She kept sharing glances with Maya, whose big hazel-brown, Bedouin eyes revealed that she too was just as nervous. Sanaya did not want to even speak with Maya telepathically for fear Archer may intercede, so she kept her thoughts to herself.
    Once inside the Annex building, where all of the administrative and medical business took place, Archer led them to a small cubicle of a room decorated only with a worn down army green sofa and a desk to which Archer took a seat behind. Maya and Sanaya sat down on the sofa and waited for Archer to speak.
    “So, what happened with Elizabeth? From the looks of things, you were ready to knock her head off Sanaya,” Archer said, relaxing further into the office and resting both of his palms behind his head.
    “She has some serious issues with me Archer,” Sanaya explained. “And quite frankly, I’m tired of it. Because of her, almost all of the school hates me and she goes out of her way to make my life more miserable than what it already is.”
    “I am going to have a talk with her, and then one with her parents,” Archer replied flatly. “Arrogant, pretentious pricks they are…that family as a whole has been nothing but trouble for the Academy with the exception
