Miles smiled a little. Hearing that the demons actually abided by the rules of Hell made him feel a lot better, strangely enough. He was also glad that they weren't in the middle of a war with the demons right now too because that gave demons free range for it mostly. This was definitely going to be a lot smoother of an assignment than he was used to, just from the small bits of information he had been given. She nodded when he mentioned the factions, and honestly, he was glad it sort of just got dropped. Heaven was not in a good way right now at all, and the civil war that had been brewing for the longest time was beginning to come to head. No one really wanted to be in Heaven right now.

When she answered about the tutors he nodded. "Thanks. I'll check it out when it gets out up then, just so I have a good idea on who to ask if I do need help." He said. When she offered to show him around a little, he nodded. "Yes please, at least knowing where Ms. Wilson's class is would help out a lot, if you really don't mind." He said. 

She seemed like she had a lot going on at the moment, and he didn't want to take up anymore of her time, but he couldn't deny that he was.going to have issues the first few days in getting around the school. At least in a manner that made sense. "Again, thank you. So your class is my last class, right?" He asked, looking at his schedule.

Clary smiled as they all ran as a group. She was having a lot of trouble focusing at the moment as her hyperactivity got higher, and she was moving faster than she was running after a certain point. All Ryan could do was smile, and she nodded to Zaddie. "I was sure I had seen you before." She said. "Always nice to actually meet people you've seen before, especially when they're as nice as you."

As they ran, Ryan could see a bunch of girls watching guys work out and she rolled her eyes a little. She remembered when her brothers had that issue, and how more often than not girls would be her friend just to get to them. She was glad that they weren't here this year, but she did miss them. Ryan snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Clary give another nervous giggle. 

"Sorry!" Clary called after someone.

"You just phased through them, didn't you?" Ryan laughed and Clary nodded. 

"Better than knocking them down!" Clary laughed. She looked at Zaddie and giggled. "I don't get into trouble, but I have developed a bad habit of forgetting that doors exist and have seen things I can't unsee. Really have to remember to use doors now though with Logan rooming with me." 

Ryan smiled. "Oh cool! Glad you got a good roommate. Not sure how well it'll work out with mine. I've got Beatrice this year." 

Clary made a face. "I'm sure Logan won't mind you crashing with us if you need to. If Randa hadn't gotten her off of his ass when she did, he'd probably still be hiding from her. Then again, she's had to get her off a lot of people's asses." 

Ryan nodded. "I know, she's already been bitching too." She shook her head. She looked at Heather and Zaddie. "So what are you guys doing after this period?"

Maggie couldn't help but to smile around Willow. She was so sweet, and she nodded. "Oh it's definitely different outside of the forest, but I usually have other ways of getting at people than fighting. Randa usually takes care of that stuff for me, but I agree, it doesn't hurt anything to be able to fight if it becomes necessary." She said. Billie, Randa, and Tiffany already seemed to be talking when they got over to them.

Billie nodded to Tiff. "Wanna just grab lunch and we can go talk in my dorm? Might be easier to talk without so much going on."

"Be way quieter that's for sure." Randa said as they all began stretching. When Devin got brought up again, she rolled her eyes. "Shit, could probably stab him in the face and he wouldn't get the hint."

Once gym was over and they began heading out of the locker rooms, Randa, Billie, and Tiff were all discussing lunch when they saw Ez and Maggie take off. Randa smiled when she saw Erin and waved a little. "Hey I'm going to-" she started but soon they heard a loud pop. Randa turned and saw Devin bothering a brunette girl, but what caught her attention more was Colten. He walked over and pulled Devin away from the girl and punched him clear across the face. A loud, low toned growl could be heard not long after and she saw Colten hit him again. "Shit. I gotta go." She said as she headed off that way.

Billie hadn't even fully processed what was going on yet, but she blinked. "I didn't expect that one to happen." She said. She noticed Drake right there, trying to get Colten to stop, but he got hit in the process. "Damn." She turned her head to Tiff. "Wanna wait and see how far this goes or do you just want to go ahead and slip out of here?"

Cole nodded a bit when Brooke said she'd accept the help with the headache after class. "Alright. It's no problem, really. You know if you need help with that kind of stuff, you can come find me whenever. I have no problem with it. May not be as good as other races at headache pains, but I can at least help some." She smiled. Once they got to working out on the bikes, she was glad at the change of topic too.

"Oh, I bet the greenhouse looks great with Chambliss having kept up with it." Ez said, and Cole nodded. 

"It does. It looks super good and all the plants are very healthy. They enjoyed it when I went out and played my violin for them last night. Least it Seems they did." She said. She looked at Brooke. "If you wanna come out to the greenhouse with me after classes, I would definitely enjoy the company." She then looked to Ez. "I'd offer you too, but I know you're still settling back in. So anytime after that, come on by."

"Of course. Your greenhouse has always been one of the prettiest places on the grounds, and that's even including those enchanted rooms." Ez said with a smile. 

After the class had ended, she helped Brooke out in the locker room, but when she headed out, she noticed some commotion going on. When she saw Brooke holding her arm after she backed away from Colten fighting… Devin? She walked over to her and saw Randa coming over. She knew Randa mostly in passing, but she also knew her through Drake. She looked up and saw Drake got hit trying to break up the fight between Colten and Devin, and when Randa got over to them, she looked at her. "Hey. Bring her over there." Randa said, pointing towards Erin, Maggie, and Ez. "You'll be out of the way, and with them, I at least know you guys are good."

Cole nodded and gently brought Brooke that way. "What happened? Do I need to heal your shoulder?"

--

Ez and Maggie happily walked out of the locker room, talking. It had been so long since Maggie had seen Ez that hanging out with her again would be fun. Especially with Erin coming back too. Speaking of Erin, once they got out of the locker room, Maggie spotted her. "She's here!" She smiled as she ran over and hugged Erin. "I missed you so fucking much!"

Ez laughed when she got over to them and hugged Erin too. "Me too. It's great we're all together again." She said. However, some commotion caught their attention and Maggie saw Randa heading in its direction. "Is that Colten?" Ez asked.

"Yeah but who is he… oh shit…" Maggie began before she saw who he had hit. "No wonder Randa is heading over there. Colten would kill Devin before anyone even had a chance to try."

"What happened though?" Ez asked, and soon Cole joined them with Brooke. The girl's arm was visibly sunken down. "That doesn't look good."

Maggie made a face. "No it doesn't. Do we need to take you to the nurse?"

They heard Cole ask what happened, and Maggie looked back over to where the fight was and saw that Randa had managed to get Colten to stop… for the moment.

Alex got out of the locker room first, as he usually did, and he was happy to see Jo was waiting for him. However, she was talking to someone and he smiled when he realized who it was. Erin. Good that meant Garret was somewhere around too. He waved when he saw Erin wave to him, and he nodded when he got over to them. "Hey Erin." He said. He nodded when she said that. "I won't be in until later tonight, B will be there with Randa though, so he'll be entertained for a while." He laughed. 

Once Erin headed off, Alex heard Jo ask what pepper spray was and he gave an inquisitive look himself. "It's in a can of pressurized air and they take really hot peppers and concentrate their juices so it will spray out. Hurts like a motherfucker when you get sprayed in the face, especially the eyes. Most humans, especially females, carry it around as a form of defense. Why do you ask?" He answered. 

It wasn't long after that when drama unfolded and somehow, Alex wasn't at all surprised that Devin was in the center of it. He was surprised by the fact that Colten was the one beating the shit out of him though. For as long as Alex had known Colten, while they weren't exactly close, he knew he was one of the calmest people he ever met. So to see him losing his shit was a little surprising. Alex shook his head a little. "Looks like he's gonna get his ass beat every day this year." He mumbled.

Coming out of the locker room, Colten sighed. He came out ahead of most of the guys, and he shook his head a little. He adjusted his bag on his shoulder as he began walking out, but he saw Devin bugging the girl he had been earlier. He could hear her clearly tell him to fuck off after trying to ignore him. However, once Devin grabbed hold of her, something snapped in Colten. Devin being… Devin, it didn't take much for his anger to rise quickly, but the sound of the pop that came when the girl tried to get away sent him over the edge. A low growl settled in the back of his throat. 

He dropped his bag and walked over, grabbing Devin's wrist at a point that made him release his hold on the girl, and once he turned him, he clocked him clear in the jaw. "She said fuck off." He growled, but apparently Devin didn't get the point. Colten growled again, and he could feel his teeth changing, but he didn't care as he hit him again. And again. Colten could feel someone trying to grab his arm, but he reeled and punched them too. Today was not the day for that. 

He went to hit Devin again when a small orange flame danced across his field of vision. He stopped and he looked at where the flame stopped and he saw Randa standing there. "Easy there, big guy." Her voice cut into his mind. "He's not worth it."

"Randa, he-" Colten started, but Devin went to say something again and with that last hit, Colten was almost certain he knocked him out. Another orange flame danced across his vision and he looked back at Randa.

"He's not worth it." Randa said. Colten went to turn again, but Randa brought her hands to his face and forced him to keep focused on her. "I get it. I do, but he's not worth it."

Long came over after that, and he shook his head. "McAddams, my office, now." He said. 

Colten sighed and walked over and went to pick up his bag, but he saw Randa already had it. "I'm fine." He said, his voice still a low growl.

"Clearly." She said and she motioned for him to go ahead and she followed behind him into Long's office. Once they were in there, Long motioned for them to sit. 

"I hope you realize you have detention, Colten." Long said and Colten nodded. 

"I only acted because Devin wouldn't leave the girl alone, sir." He said. Long sighed a bit and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "You can ask the girl, or you know, anyone in the area. Her arm got popped out of place. Just because no one exactly saw it, doesn't mean there isn't proof."

"Would you like me to go get Aren?" Randa asked, and Long shook his head.

"No, but will you go see if Harlow is busy? Aren is busy right now, I'm sure, and Harlow would know better what to do without having DeAndro shove his nose in it." Long said. There was clearly some resentment there, but when Randa went to leave he said something else. "And get Ravenwood too, please."

"Alright. On it." Randa said. She looked at Colten. "Don't leave without me."

Colten nodded and rubbed his temples and then his jaw. Now that his teeth had returned to normal, his jaw was sore. "You know how my detention is, Colten. Besides, I was going to see if you could help set up the new equipment anyway."

Colten nodded and sighed. "What's going to be done about Devin?"

"Leave that to me, Harlow, and Ravenwood." Long said. "Just stay in here and finish calming down, I do agree that you should wait for Randa before you go anywhere else. I've never seen you lose it like that, and the fact she got you to come down some means she's probably your best bet to stick around for a while." 

Colten just nodded and cradled his head in his hands.

Harlow sighed as he looked over the papers on his desk. More new students would be starting, and one of the names that came across his desk had him curious. Azura. She had attended school here before, and it made him wonder why she was suddenly coming back. He sighed when he heard a knock on his open door. He saw Randa standing there. "Hey." He said.

"Hey. Long asked me to come get you and Ravenwood. Devin has already started shit again and Abs beat his ass." She said, and he sighed. He got up and left his classroom before they stopped at Ravenwood's classroom. Harlow knocked and looked at him. 

"Hey, Cian. Robert wanted to talk to us. Got a minute?" Harlow asked. 

"Might want to make a minute if you don't. Just saying." Randa said. 

"You're free to go." Harlow told her. She waved a little and headed off, and Harlow shook his head. "As if we all weren't stressed out enough…"

Harlow waited for Ravenwood and headed with him towards Long's office. "Did you see who is on the list of students to start tomorrow?" He asked. "I know Azura comes to visit on occasion, but I didn't expect to see her back on the student roster."

Harlow only asked him because he knew that Azura had been there before while Ravenwood was a teacher and had even taken his classes before. He also knew that they had gotten to be friends too, and he was certain that Azura likely kept contact with him over the years. Once they got to Long's office, he saw Randa coming out with Colten, and when they got in, he sat down.

"You needed to talk to us." Harlow said, and he could see the contemplation on Long's face.

"It's getting to the point, already, where if Lively continues to start his shit, I'm going to let him get killed." He said. "Colten, aside from Eskil, is one of the calmest students in the school, and he just sent Devin to the infirmary because he cannot grasp that when a girl says no, she means no. He's getting to the point where he is worse than Tony was."

Harlow's eyes flashed black at the name. He shook his head. "He's still a student, Robert. We can't just let him get killed, no matter how much drama he starts."

"I can't even put him in detention today, Julian! Even though he deserves it because, according to the rules, I had to give Colten detention for fighting him. He gets away scot free far too often." Long said before turning to Cian. "I only asked for you two because Aren is busy with this stack of new arrivals and DeAndro is useless."

Harlow looked at Ravenwood. "Any suggestions, Cian?"
