Siren's Saving

New Faces

Delta went to the office to pick her major, Caspian already did it in the morning. She took her time since there wasn't much rush. Once she arrived a counselor sat with her and went over the classes she could take.  

When she was done, she saw Ara reading a book by the stairs. Ara sees her and runs up to her. “Hi Delta.” 

“Hey, Ara. What are you doing here?” Delta asked her.

“I was just passing by.” She smiles at Delta. “Want to get lunch?” 

Delta smirked, “Sure.” They started making their way out of school when they bumped into Mira. 

“Hi,” Mira said softly.

“Oh, hi.” Ara said happily, “We’re going for lunch, want to join?” 

Mira bit her lip, “I don’t think I should.” 

“Oh come on, it’s just lunch.” Ara grabbed Mira. 

Mira looked at Delta, “It’s fine with me.” Mira looked at Ara and nodded. 

They decided on a small Italian restaurant a couple of blocks from the school. They sat down and ordered. “So are you two like dating now?” Mira asked them. 

Ara smiled, “No, not yet anyway. I’m want to make her forget her first love, and fill her up with me.” She played with her hands. “I honestly hope it can happen.” Delta had no emotion on her face as she turned to look out the window. “I’m sorry for making this weird as f**k. Anyway, you have a boyfriend, how’s that going?” 

“Uh, Ara. I don’t think it’s polite to ask her that.” Delta turned to face her. 

“No, it’s okay. Things have been shaky lately.” Mira said softly. 

Delta seemed concerned, “Why?”

“When we reunited, I told him everything. So when he saw you come here, he freaked out.” Mira explained it briefly. 

Ara and Delta just nodded. When their food arrived they just ate quietly. After that, they all walked back to school. Ara got a message and looked at the girls, “I have to go, I have music practice.” She went up to Delta and kissed her cheek, “I’ll text you.”  She waved goodbye to both of them. 

“She seems nice,” Mira said. 

“You think so?” Delta was watching Ara run, “Should I give her a chance then?” 

Mira looked to the ground, “Um, I think you should do what your heart tells you. If you like her, you should give it a chance.” 

Delta smirked and gave Mira an irritated look. She walked up to her and closed the space between them, “And if my heart says to kill your boyfriend and make you mine again, should I do it? Should I take the chance?” She leaned her face closer to Mira’s. 

 Every step Mira took back, Delta closed the space, “I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Mira said softly.

“Why?” Delta looked into Mira’s eyes. 

“I have a boyfriend, Delta.” 

“That’s something that can be taken care of,” Delta smirked.

“Mira!” They both looked up and Mira’s boyfriend was looking at them both. Mira quickly fixed herself and ran up to him. 

“Let’s go to class,” Mira told him and grabbed his hand. He glared at Delta. 

Delta smirked and walked away. When she turned the corner, Caspian was waiting for her with his arms crossed and an annoyed look. 

She smiled and walked up to him, “Caspian, what are you doing here, like that?” 

“I saw you Delta.” He said firmly. 

“Oh.” Delta nodded. 

“You better keep away from her. I don’t want to see you get hurt again.” Caspian told her. 

Delta smiled softly, “Don’t worry, I can’t feel anything. I locked my heart away.” She walked past her brother and headed to their place. 

Caspian looked concerned, “What do you mean by that?” 

“Exactly what I said.” 

“Delta. You didn’t?”
