ANDIE WALLACE
HAVE I BEEN ON YOUR MIND? WHAT'S A VOICE WITHOUT A SONG? SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL THE LONG...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For the entirety of Andromeda Wallace's school career, she had been longing for the day when she would be free from education's despicable, soul crushing clutches. Since day one, she had been gleefully imagining a time in which she would no longer be forced to put up with the continual reminders of her low grade intelligence and the fact that no matter what she did, no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't quite good enough. Of course, back then, that time was nothing more than an unachievable state of bliss looming several hundred thousand miles away from where she herself was standing, so it had seemed like the most prudent option to take was the 'don't get your hopes up' one, because, surely, a circumstance in which she wouldn't have to put up with the awfulness of it all couldn't possibly have any valid place in reality whatsoever. It was just common sense.
However, after consigning herself to an eternity of misery and several bouts of temporary insanity, the day that seemed as if it would never arrive, never ever, actually did. And it didn't seem real at all. The hellish end of the year exams, the agony of not being able to speed up time and get the whole fucking thing just over with already and the grand scale of the whole package of monotonous drudgery that school had presented her with for however many years had numbed her to the experience of any sort of joy concerning its finally ending. It wasn't fair in the least. Then again, she was more than used to things not being fair. It seemed to her that her whole entire life had just been one lesson in unfairness after another. It was inevitable that she get used to it after a period of time, but that didn't by any means guarantee to free her from frequent indignant reactions. This, of course, by no means meant that she hadn't been able to enjoy any end of the school year parties, because she had definitely received her fair share and more of fun and amusement out of those. Although it had been slightly trying having to pretend to listen to people she honestly didn't give much of a flying fuck about but had to keep up pretenses with for whatever reason babble on and on about what colleges they had been accepted into. Andie herself was not going to college. Not any time this year, anyway. She had conceded that it might work out for the best if she were to attend the community college next year, but she wasn't going to think about that just yet. Currently on her big picture agenda were two things: enjoy herself and find some sort of job, part time or otherwise.
Of course, we can't keep up talk of how Andie had managed to graduate from high school without bringing up the person for whom she had had to painfully swallow her pride and ask to be an instrumental part of it all. In complete honesty, the moment she had realized that, one, to not hideously fuck up somehow on all her tests she would need some help and, two, she had only two options and neither of them were very pretty, was one of her top five worst moments of this year. Her two options had been her cousin, Collin, who seemed to genuinely despise her and, whenever forced to spend time with her, acted as if she were cold fish, and Donny Davis, the computer geek whom she had wanted to punch since their first meeting. Superb, yes? Though she wouldn't have believed it if you had told her a month or two earlier, but Donny had wound up being the lesser of two evils in that situation for her.
To her complete and utter surprise, however, Andie had found that, after a while, spending time with Donny hadn't been anywhere close to as bad as she had thought it would be. In fact, when they were together, she actually often caught herself actually enjoying his company. Only several weeks prior, she would have thought that that was as creepy as it was going to get, but she would have been wrong. Sometimes, with him, she felt happy, genuinely happy. And not like drunk happy or partying happy or revenge happy, but peaceful and content happy. Furthermore, she occasionally found the strangest sensation creeping through her system, one that she recognized and always did her best to beat back and silence, because... well, just because. She didn't really know how to go about dealing with it.
And though school had been over with for a while now, it still wasn't uncommon for Andie to drop by the Davis apartment semi frequently to see Izzy. That was always her official reason, anyway, though it also served as a guise for another one that she didn't plan to reveal to any living thing whatsoever at this point and time. Today was one such day for one of her visits, because she had found herself rather deathly bored and she suspected that someone was about to start nagging her about whatever reason they could come up with, seeing as her aunt had been giving everyone mini 'make something of your life' speeches whenever at all possible lately.
It had been raining all day, though only barely. However, as she had arrived at the Hitten apartment building, it worsened to the stage in which it could be classified as more of a downpour, which resulted in her being slightly damp when she knocked on the siblings' door. She was let in and told that Izzy wasn't around at the moment by Donny, so she decided to simply hang around until that status was remedied. Evidently she wasn't too much of a hideous annoyance to Donny as long as she didn't gab on and on too much. After a few minutes of lounging around, counting the colors she could identify in English in the room, and trying to find patterns in the weaving of her shorts though, she decided she wanted some sort of verbal action, so she chose a relatively neutral start, though it probably had some good potential to cause some sort of annoyance to the receiver. "I'm bored."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Donny J. Davis Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for free Animated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue me In the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could see That she'd come to rescue me - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Things around the Davis' Apartment and the Hughes' one just down the hall, had not been the best as of late. Its not like life was ever particularly easy for them but everything was a bit more tense than usual. Liz killing Darren, Orion showing up, followed by Widow who was actually staying with him and Izzy instead of Liz and Orion, mainly because him and Iz actually got along with her by some miracle. It's just, everyone's life was in danger because they were helping Liz, everyones involvement with the Sirens, as in working on the same side, was over because they chose to help Liz. Even Widow by a strange twist. By keeping Liz still being alive a secret from the Sirens, she was helping her enemy. Even if the sadistic little brunette was holding it over her head, hanging Liz out for all she's worth. And yet Donny was friends with Widow? She wasn't exactly his type of friend, then again, who was? Widow was Darren's daughter and she's as damaged as they come. She's shallow and vain and completely self absorbed. Appearance is almost everything, attitude is the small gap in the circle to make it complete. She seemed to have a strange claim over him, or at least, she acted like she did. They had never slept together but kissed? All the time actually. Not so much lately since the mood was so somber but she usually pecked him on the lips as she left. But they were only friends, that's all Donny wanted and come to think of it, she was actually fairly similar to other female friends of him. Beautiful with attitude... He recently created a strange friendship with Tristan Silver and.... well.... sort of a ... at least a tolerance with Andromeda Wallace.
Now there was a surprise. Andie had been a surprise. When the two extremely different human beings originally met, it was like highly articulate cats and dogs. No, seriously, the two were not friendly in the slightest. There was about a half moment or two in which they tried to be civil for the sake of Donny's sister and Andie's friend Isabel Davis, but it didn't last very long at all. To be perfectly honest, both of them, including Donny, he would admit with reluctance, had arrogantly assumed they knew each other's type. She took one look at him and all she saw was a nerd, and he was used to that from girls that looked like her. "Looked like her" meaning gorgeous. Insanely so. So when he saw her and the way she seemed to look at him, all he was able to see was the shallow little girl who wasn't worth his time or energy to bother with being offended by. If there was one thing Donny wasn't, it was the typical nerd. He's not going to deny he has a lot more nerdy tendencies than most. He was smart, very smart. He was tall and appeared skinny, although honestly he was more of a swimmers build when his shirt was off. He was a Siren, they train. He ate health foods and was very hygienic, especially for a male. And while he was an incredibly fast runner, and could probably to gymnastics or something, put him on a football field and he would be lost. But he was also a computer hacker, one of the countries best. He had no fear breaking the law. He had extremely flexible morals, was not exactly the guy with the pocket protector.
But the part that seemed to confuse or surprise the most amount of people, was that, unlike most typical nerds, Donny was not easily intimidated. He had a confidence, and sometimes flat out smuggness to him that would usually throw people off. When the jock circles the nerd, the nerd is expected to stutter, apologize and beg. Donny on the other hand would roll his eyes and probably insult the bastard or simply laugh at the man's stupidity. He did not drool over the beautiful girls and let his hands get all sweaty from nerves because if he didn't have a shot, why bother? besides, he wanted a girl that could make him laugh, not one that would want to hide him away from her judgmental friends. He may not see himself as attractive but he was still too good to be treated like dirt. His back up confidence came from the knowledge that he had the power to ruin anyone on his bad side. He didn't use the power for personal gain... often. He mostly used his skillz for financial gain whether he was stealing or doing a job. But he still knew he could and being powerful made anyone confident. Whatever, I digress, the point is, when this blond had judged him, he did not go cry, he talked back or ignored her. Either pissed her off. But one day in the park, she threw all his assumptions and preachy assertions out the window. One day, in the park, when Iz had ran to talk to Liz, Andie and him had gotten into a spat and she had... she had kissed him. All of a sudden, after he insults her, she kisses him and then looks horrified with herself. Both him and her decided to never mention it again, but even he had to stop claiming to know how that girl's mind works.
Had he thought she meant anything by the kiss? No. not romantically at least. His best guess was.... well.... he didn't have one BUT he was 100% certain it wasn't anything important, especially not anymore, now that they tolerate each other a bit better. She had sucked up her pride, a move he secretly admired him, himself acknowledging how tough that was to do, and she had asked him to help her study to raise her grades up by the end of the year. They were awkward at first but soon the blond became less of an annoyance and more of... an almost friendly acquaintance. He kind of liked hanging out with her. She was way more intelligent than she gave herself credit for. And I don't know, it was like, after they let themselves go into the neutral zone of a tutoring relationship, they were able to handle each other's presence rather well. Had she been another, or even uglier for that matter, he may have actually started to crush on her but Donny's mind was not the type to dwell on possibilities so he honestly never thought of her romantically, despite her being the last girl his lips had touched.
Today was just another day. Summer had started, no classes and thanks to Donny's magic on the computer they didn't really need to work to stay afloat. Some could call what he does work but he gets such pride and thrill out of it, it's more like playing a video game. Just a little while ago, Andie had come over looking for Izzy. Izzy wasn't here. Where she was, Donny was not sure. Probably out with Xavier or some friends, maybe with Liz, who knew but she left her cell at the apartment so he couldn't call. He had been working in his room/home computer lab(seriously it looks like radio shack in the room that's completely off limits). Then he had heard a knock and it had been Andie. Not really caring if she was around, he let her just come in and wait. Not wanting to be rude he had come into the main room to keep her some sort of silent company. All he did was move one of his laptops into the main room and put it on the kitchen counter as he multi-tasked cleaning and checking stocks. He was a clean person, what did I tell you? Perfect skin too, that's one thing no one can deny in his physical appearance, he had great skin. "I'm bored." Donny heard a voice speak from over by the couch. He didn't look up from the plate he was washing when he replied, "And..." he began, "... what exactly would you like me to do about it?"

ANDIE WALLACE
HAVE I BEEN ON YOUR MIND? WHAT'S A VOICE WITHOUT A SONG? SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL THE LONG...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It was so strange; the fact that some things that seemed irrevecably permanent could change so quickly. Not even two months ago, Andie had hated Donny Davis with just about every fiber in her being and had been quite sure that she always would. And now... well, it was really a very different story, wasn't it? It didn't make sense to Andie at all. She didn't understand why she no longer wanted to roll her eyes in contempt and mild disgust whenever she laid eyes on him. She didn't understand why she no longer felt the need to throw an insult at him whenever the opportunity presented itself. She didn't understand why she constantly didn't want to avoid him at all costs - unless arguments were involved; nothing like a good argument, especially if she won - . Nothing about their situation made sense to her. Hell, some of the algebra she and Donny had been covering was easier to wrap her brain around than her own damn feelings. The whole thing actually gave her a sort of apprecation for math (wow, there was something she had been sure she wouldn't ever say), because numbers were numbers, concrete and unchanging. They were simple in the sense that you could trust the rules to take you to the answer every time. And they were complicated in the sense that the goddamned rules always seemed to be complicated and stupid and a great big fucking headache inducer. Though, after a while, when you had been working at something until the rules freed themselves from the murkiness, even if you didn't know why in the hell it was even relevant in the first place, it got easier. And studying with Donny had helped Andie with that, and almost everything else, though, seeing as fate seemed to have a small fetish with tormenting her, studying with Donny had also yielded another, extremely unexpected and, frankly, unwanted result. Ack. She wished that life would be simpler, that it would follow a set of predetermined rules like numbers did. Although she would be also be willing to settle for it just shutting the hell up every once in a while.
And the cherry on top of the disturbing concept that she was actually falling for Donny Davis was that it seemed that there was absolutely no possibility for anything to ever happen between the two of them. Donny was the kind of guy who liked smart girls, ones who were well read and had insight on all sorts of shit, ones who were nice and cared about everybody.... In other words, Donny was the type of guy who liked girls that were everything Andie was not. It all got really quite irritating every now and then; a glob of frustration that pulsed faintly from time to time from somewhere within the recesses of her brain. However, despite everything, at the same time, it was all kind of... exciting, as crushes and things like that often were, in a way Andie didn't really know how to describe. Which was one of the two reasons she so enjoyed dropping by the Davis apartment regularly. The remaining reason was pretty self explanatory; she wanted to see her friend Izzy, who was always a pocketful of sunshine and, surprisingly, didn't annoy her. Normally super perky people could drive Andie absolutely up the damn wall.
His voice carried through the room, in the indifferent, nonchalant tone she had had heard several times before. "And... what exactly would you like me to do about it?" Sighing, she straightened her figure and turned to face him, pulling her hands through her hair as if she were about to do a pony tail, but released it and let it fall back behind her shoulders. "Something entertaing," she responded, as she slouched toward the counter upon which his laptop was perched. "I thought that was obvious." Shifting her weight onto one hip, she glanced at the screen of the laptop, but due to its angle and the way the light in the room was hitting it, couldn't make anything much intelligible out of what she saw. Whatever. She didn't really care much anyway. It was probably something boring and Donny-like. "What are you doing?" she asked, eyebrows raised. Eh, any conversation was better than no conversation at this point. Besides, she liked bothering him. It was usually pretty fun, even if it was one of those pursuits that made her remind herself of her cousin Robbie... which was just disturbing. She still had to wonder if she was actually related to that kid. He was such a weirdo. Though, admittedly, he was far better than Collin... even if that really wasn't saying much. It really wasn't hard to be better than Collin Wallace in Andie's eyes. Donny had even passed that test back when she had passionately detested him. See? Not hard, not hard at all. In the case of Collin, Andie often wondered if perhaps he was actually an alien placed on earth at birth by his fellow aliens to do some sort of study of human behavior; like how people reacted to a bundle of pure cold, icy contempt and jackass-ery. Come to think of it, she would not be greatly surprised if her whole entire family was composed of aliens. They were all pretty weird. Of course, as of late, she seemed to be developing an affection for the weird, and she was as surprised as the next person about it. Maybe it was just her odd compulsions that Donny had talked about acting up. That guess was as good as any because she really had no idea how any of it had transpired, which, as previously mentioned, tended to get her goat. It only seemed fair that she at least be able to have some sort of handle on some kinds of basic emotion. But oh, right. Life and fairness didn't really fit together, did they?

Donny continued to work away at his computer. He appreciated his own lap top much more now that he had worked on the computers in the regular computer lab at the college campus. Why do they bother? Basic Macs? Expensive, easy to use for word processing and graphics for presentations in class. Practical for any college campus library to have ready for student use. But come on, where's the fire? Macs just don't have the spark that a Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160 might have. Then again, Macs were... acceptable. At least they weren't some dinosaurs from the year 2000 you know? He just got frustrated. He was used to fairly high running machines. Go into his room and you would definitely be able to see that. He shifted his weight onto one of feet as he leaned on the counter. Input 01001 to output 1101. Installing this, whiping that. And some may look at him strange because he was alone in an apartment on a rainy night with Andromeda Wallace on his couch and these were the thoughts going through his head. Well, what can he say? He is a realist. No point in even considering things that had a one in four billion, twenty three million, five hundred seventy six thousand, nine hundred and thirty eight chance of ever happening.
Okay so Donny was a bit of a computer nerd, although he preferred to be referred to as a computer genius, and in a way he was that as well. He had always been an intelligent person, but it was the fact that he took computing so seriously and dedicated so much of his time to the art of the technology that made him a real nerd technician. Donny was the boy who at seven was taking apart the microwave to see how it worked, putting it back together with some slight modifications and then forcing everyone to not leave their food in it for quite so long due to the new found strength of it. He took apart computers, his close associates did not have to go buy upgrades. Give him twenty bucks and he'll have your computer running so quickly and so protected, you would never have to buy a $79.99 upgrade again. He was "quite the useful bumble bee" as Isabel put it. But anyone who know him, knew he was way more than that. And that was good enough. He didn't have to prove anything to anyone, least of all the physically blessed.
Donny looked up at the blonde bombshell as she pulled her hair back for a moment and responded to his question, "Something entertaining, I thought that was obvious." Donny gave a small smirk at her words and stood up a bit straighter. "I could try to juggle knives if you like? Perhaps borrow one of Izzy's unicycles?" He replied with sarcasm tinging on his tone as he looked at the girl. "What are you doing?" He widened his eyes slightly as though he hadn't heard her correction, "Hmm? Oh um..." He shook his head slightly, pulling his eyes back to the screen which was opened onto some 300 bank accounts in Connecticut about to steal one dollar from each. Yeah... that would be an easy one to explain. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "Yeah just some boring stuff for class." He lied, turning the screen off. The computer was still on, it had work to do and bills to pay. He picked it up and gave her a slightly forced smile as he walked around to the other side of the counter. Honestly, he was surprised she even asked. She never really seemed that interested in things he did, maybe she really was just that bored.
The ex-Siren oddball set the laptop down on the table in front of the couch before walking over to the kitchen. He had the screen locked. No, he didn't expect Andie to go invade privacy like that but it was out of habit. He then walked back over to the small kitchen area and opened the fridge before sighing slightly. He shut the door and put his hands on the counter looking over it to Andie, "I'm going to run across the street, get some soda, do you want anything?" He asked out of courtesy. Donny nodded as she told him what she wanted and he made his way into his room to get his keys and wallet. Now, there's one thing that's certain, Donny had made sure no one goes into his room. He keeps his room locked. See, go into his sister's room, you'll see what you expect, a lot of colors. Go into his room, see something you would expect to find in the CIA headquarters. Mainly because half of his room was covered in computers and monitors from floor to ceiling, (rough floor layout). It was pretty clear, when entering his room, that he might not be up to the most honorable things. He walked over to the desk in the corner where his printer/fax was and flipped through the piles of paper. Despite the room being cluttered and slightly cramped, it was spotlessly clean. Just very cluttered. He got to the bottom of the pile of papers which included an email printed out from some of the sirens, where he had left his wallet and placed it in his back pocket and grabbed his keys off the night-stand and made his way back out, shutting his door but stupidly, forgetting to lock it.
Donny looked up at Andie as he made his way to the door. "I'll be right back. Dont answer the door for anyone, bad neighborhood you know?" He nodded before exiting the apartment. He would only be gone a few minutes but honestly, with the "rebel sirens", as Izzy was beginning to call the little cluster of them, with them in the state they're in at the moment, he just didn't want to leave her alone very long. He may not have had a great start with Andie but she wasn't the she-devil she thought she had been.

ANDIE WALLACE ,
HAVE I BEEN ON YOUR MIND? WHAT'S A VOICE WITHOUT A SONG? SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL THE LONG...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When you came right down to it, andie was very lucky that donny didn't seem to know even half as much about girls as he did about computers. she thanked her oh so lucky stars that he seemed completely oblivious to all the feelings that coursed through her and caused her untold amounts of frustration. because she shuddered to think about what he would do if he knew. ughh. that thought was almost entirely too painful to keep inside of her brain for very long because, in fact, she wasn't completely sure exactly what he would do, so, in her mind, it was the pain of one possibility she had thought up, multiplied by three, one for each of the remaining possibilities she had, mostly logically, sketched out. they were as follows: one, he could laugh at her. two, he could ignore it. three, he could try and stop spending any time at all with her. four, he could pity her. the last one would be the most painful of all and, if it wound up happening, andie was fairly certain that the only solution to the whole thing would be for her to bang her head against a wall for an hour or two.
Part of the reason this was so frustrating was that this type of thing hadn't ever happened to her before. she hadn't ever liked a guy who she couldn't have. and, despite the fact that she had slept with more than her fair share of young men, she had only had feelings like this for a choice few of them. and they had been the kind of guys whom she could win over, or at least make disposed towards being won over, by her usual, handy dandy, fool proof seduction techniques. she hadn't ever had to worry about stuff like this before. it was a bit disconcerting, spending time with a male, a male of donn'ys age no less, who was not completely ruled by their hormones. it was also a bit scary. she relied a lot on the hormones of guys, because they made it fairly easy to get what she wanted. the reminder that it was possible for some guys to function like donny davis did was not a welcome one, because it told her that it wouldn't always be this easy to get what she wanted out of men. damn it all.
He smirked at her. "i could try to juggle knives if you like? perhaps borrow one of izzy's unicycles?" she had to fight a smile, she wanted to keep her face straight and emotionless. "those both sound perfect. get to it." her efforts to keep everything about her demeanor serios and monotonous faltered as she finished up the statement because she could help but let the corners of her mouth twitch upward. he seemed surprised that she had inquired about his activities on the computer. it wasn't like she really cared, but that didn't mean she wasn't curious. he spent so much time with computers, there had to be something fascinating he did with them. "hmm? oh um.... yeah just some boring stuff for class." he turned the computer off. sigh. of course. heaven forbid he might be doing anything that would be the slightest bit entertaining to hear about and therefore penetrate the thick cloud of boredom surrounding her brain, even for a moment or two. "fascinating," she said dully, leaning a hand on the counter and shifting some of her weight onto it and watched as he went out into the living room area to set the laptop down on the table in front of the couch before wandering back into the kitchen area, opening the refrigerator and evidently not finding anything to his liking. "i'm going to run across the street, get some soda, do you want anything?" she shrugged and told him a lemonade would be good if they had any.
He nodded and then headed out of the kitchen. andie drifted lazily after him a few paces and saw that he was headed for his bedroom, which she had been strictly ordered to stay out of. andie had really no idea what on earth he had in there that needed to be kept so secret, that required him to trust no one. he even kept the door locked nearly all of the time that he wasn't inside of it. personally, andie felt that he was probably being a bit of a drama queen about the whole matter. how much damage could she possibly do? honestly. he reemerged with his wallet and keys a moment or two after going in and she noticed that he hadn't locked the door. odd. as he was making his way towards the door of the apartment, he threw an advisory her way. "i'll be right back. don't answer the door for anyone, bad neighborhood you know?" she sighed and nodded. "you got it."
The door swung shut behind him and andie flopped down onto the couch once more.... jesus, donny had only been gone for about half a minute and she was already even more bored out of her mind than she had been a few minutes ago. she hadn't even thought that that would be possible. she cast a glance upward and suddenly her mind conjured up an image; the door of donny's bedroom, staring right at her, taunting her and taunting her, whispering "i dare you...." damn it. she tried to get that image out, but it had dug its claws into her brain and nothing she tried was able to even being prying it loose. she sat up abruptly. one peek couldn't hurt. she'd just stick her head through the doorway for a moment and be done with it. donny wouldn't ever have to know. everything would be peachy keen. peachy, peachy, peachy keen.
She stood up and made her way over to the bedroom door, an excited, anxious feeling rising up through her midsection. turning the handle, she pushed it open and took a small, careful step inside, unless he had booby trapped the place or something. well, this was dumb, she didn't see anything out of the ordin - holy shit. there, right smack dab in donny davis's bedroom, was what looked like the contents of some super spy/ninja/hacker's lair. fancy computer stuff out the ying yang. okay, this was probably why he had wanted her to stay out of here... but why? there wasn't anything wrong with having a freakish amount of advanced looking computer stuff in your bedroom.... oh, wait. unless you were doing something less than scrupulous with them. hmm. andie wasn't sure exactly how long she simply stood there either in minor shock or mulling over what exactly donny used all this equipment for, but it was probably longer than what was safe. she tentatively took another few steps forward, because a distant part of her mind was stil suspicious of booby traps. now much closer to all the computers and equipment, she noticed a piece of paper resting on a spare bit of space and she couldn't help but read it. her eyes widened as she did so and her mind began to whir again. because, basically, the gist of it was that donny was being asked to hack into some sort of computer database and several allusions were made to "the sirens"... who or what exactly was that and why did it sound familiar? hadn't robbie once mentioned that there was a gang known as the sirens somewhere...? then, what...? oh. oh lordy.

Donald Davis did feel strangely nervous leaving Andie Wallace to go get a soda and a lemonade for her. He locked the door as he exited but something in him felt like something bad was going to happen because of this. He would just go quickly. He was just worried that the one time he leaves an innocent person alone, the "family" would pop up and kill the first breathing thing in site. He knew the likelihood wasn't great and he didn't even care about Andie that much! Right? Woah strange thought. The lanky hacker made his way down the stairs to the ground as the realization formed in his head. He cared about Andie. He started out by hating her but he was actually feeling some irrational worry for her. Strange. It's not like they were good friends. He didn't feel anything ro-romantic for her. He didn't. He was never one to want to impossible but for some reason, he was worried about her as he exited the Hitten Building and made his way to the curb. It would be fine. Nothing would happen. His gut instinct was just acting up. He nodded and looked both ways before jogging across the street to the gas station, bowing his head from the rain.
The large door gave a little ding as Donny entered. He glanced around the place for a brief second, just taking in his surroundings before he walked over to the cooler section. As he came up upon the soda's he felt a buzzing in his pocket. Donny reached in and pulled out his cell. It was a text from Liz just warning him about Widow being in a bitchy mood. When was the girl not. But he did appreciate it though. Widow was... well she was something. He smirked slightly. Widow hated Andie. Widow had decided a long time ago that Donny belonged to her, and the fact that he sort of kind of had another female friend other than Liz bothered her. Not that she anf Liz got along, but donny was not the reasoning for that. That was some deep and psychological messes to do with their fathers and Lizs brother. God, Junior had screwed up the entire planet. He dropped the cell back into his pocket and reached up, opening the doors to the coolers and pulling out a bottle of diet pepsi and a minute maid lemonade before making his way of the counter. After paying for the drinks, he placed them in his sweatshirt pockets and pulled up the hood of his hoodie again as he crossed across the parking lot and gas stations of the gas stations and all the way back to the Hitten Apartment complexes.
That worried feeling didn't go away as he made his way through the rain. It was hard to say whether it was strange or normal for Donny to be anxious. It was strange he was anxious at the that moment but I meant more in general. Being who he was made him a bit on the comfortable side when it came to the law. He was just happy he was good enough to not get caught. He tended to be pretty laid back and very lax when it came to judging others, unless of course he thought they judged him. That was why he couldn't stand Andie at first. But he wasn't with out her neurotic tendencies at all by any means at all but they were all more personal ones. He was far more strict with personal hygiene than most males in this world were. Which was probably why he had such healthy and clear skin. He was always a healthy eater. It was a funny habit in contrast with his sister's eating habits. Seriously. Go into the small kitchen of their apartment, open up their snack cupboard. On one side you will find Zebra Cakes, Susie Q's, Assorted candies from Wonka and doritos. On the other side you will find Kashi bars, vitamin supplements, and plain popcorn. Got to love the two together. They were such different people but then again, its hard to find two closer siblings. He didn't know what he would do if anything happened to her.
Donny shook his head slightly to get off some of the rain as he stepped into the apartment complex. The male looked around the hall before he started up to the stairs. Coming up to their apartment, he put his key in the door and turned it counter clockwise, hearing the little click of the lock snapping back. He stepped inside, pulling the soda and lemonade from the small plastic bag. He was about to say he got it but when he looked up, Andie wasn't there. Donny immediately put down the drinks on the counter and looked around, he was about to call out for her but he didn't know if anyone was still here. He looked around and went down the hall seeing his door open. And then he realized, she hadn't been attacked, she hadn't been hurt she was snooping. She was snooping in his room. Now here's the thing, when he had agreed to tutor her. It had been under a few certain conditions. One of which, the most important of which was for her to stay out of his room. Sure he may not be tutoring her any more or at the moment but he had expected that that rule was still in play. "What are you doing in here?" He asked, stepping into his bedroom as she stood there. Fuck the one time he forgets to lock up his room, someone lets curiosity get the best of them.
But then, something caught his attention. The paper she had been starring at. Donny groaned slightly, "uh no no no." He mumbled as he walked past her, putting the note underneath a pile of less conspicuous papers. "See, this is why I tell Iz not to print out the emails." since there would have been no way for Andie to hack into his email. Not that he was taking a jib at her intelligence but if the cops couldn't do it, he doubted she could. He sighed and looked at the gorgeous blonde, wondering if she had any idea how much more dangerous it was for her now that she knew, or at least, partially knew. He gave her an almost concerned but stern look, "I thought we had agreed you wouldn't come into my room? I had the rule for a reason." He asked her calmly.

ANDIE WALLACE ,
HAVE I BEEN ON YOUR MIND? WHAT'S A VOICE WITHOUT A SONG? SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL THE LONG...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Okay. andie drew in a long breath. she was probably just somehow jumping to the wrong conclusion here. donny had a suspicious email and a bunch of scary looking computer stuff in his room (that he didn't seem to let anyone but himself enter, mind you). it didn't mean that he was involved in some sort of gang no doubt wanted by the fbi or something. for all she knew, there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for every single one of the suspicious things she had run into. however, even as she was thinking this, other things were flitting through her mind. all the whispered phone calls donny took into the other room whenever she was around. all the odd looking strangers who came and went at odd hours through the davis apartment.... it all seemed coherent with the gang theory. and that was... not cool. first of all, if, in fact, donny (and possibly izzy, as well?) was involved with this siren gang thingamajig... well, that was dangerous, wasn't it? she really didn't like the idea of something she cared about - albeit unwillingly in the case of donny - involved in such a risky business. and it was weird to think that they such seemingly completely normal people would have such a very non normal secret. the thought that she might be in some sort of danger now came to her mind briefly before she shooed it away because she wasn't ready to give up on her whole reasonable-explanation-that-did-not-involve-gang-activity theory.
She suddenly realized that donny would probably be back with their beverages any second now and that she should probably haul ass before she was caught breaking the first and only rule of their arrangement: that she not snoop around in his bedroom. however, before she had time to even turn around, a voice sounded behind her. "what are you doing in here?" gah. fuck everything all to hell. she turned around and faced donny davis, who stood just over the threshold of his bedroom. "nothing," she answered, a bit too quickly, inwardly cringeing at how guilty her face probably looked. "did you get my lemonade?" the fact that any attempts at starting up a normal conversation to distract him were defintely completely fruitless didn't occur to her startled, nervous brain. he walked past her. "uh no no no. see, this is why i tell iz not to print out the emails." well, that didn't seem to do much for her no gang theory. he was acting a wee bit guilty of what the email and other suspicious going ons alleged. he looked back at her again. "i thought we had agreed you wouldn't come into my room? i had the rule for a reason."
"Umm... yes, I'm realizing that," she said, because it was the first thing that came into her head. the illicit activities she was suspecting him of being involved in were reason enough for pretty much anybody to keep their bedroom doors locked and private. now that she was settling a little bit from the shock of being caught redhanded breaking the rules, an achey feeling came into her stomach and she wondered why. it wasn't a sick feeling, it was more like... regret. holy crap. it wasn't the realization of the feeling that was shocking her, it was the cause of the feeling. she was feeling bad for betraying the promise she had made to donny. that hardly ever happened in relationships that involved herself. and it scared her a little. if life thus far had taught her anything, it was that the people you let yourself get too close to (like the ones who made you feel guilty about your broken promises) were only too capable of hurting you. and that revelation of minor fright surprised her a bit, too. she hadn't ever thought of herself as one of those people weird or messed up about people or commitment or whatever before. ugh. she just hated this whole thing. why couldn't every thing be simple? why couldn't she just go back to feeling nothing particularly special for donny davis? if she could do that, she'd defintiely wouldn't feel as bad for snooping around when she had explicitly agreed not to, so it would definitely be a big plus for her.
She looked back up at him and curiosity got the better of her. she couldn't just sit and wonder for much longer. he couldn't expect to be able to just wave it all off with a la-di-dah-you're-not-supposed-to-be-in-my-bedroom. "so," she said, doing her best to make her accented voice sound completely casual, crossing her arms over her hoodie enveloped chest. "that email... what... what exactly did it mean?" she paused for half a second, trying to decide on the best tactic on pushing her question a bit further. she didn't want to directly mention this... this gang because she was so mudddled on the issue and probably didn't know what she was talking about. she just wanted to say something that would probably lead to some sort of explanation about that part of what she had read. "is hacking computers a hobby of yours or... something?"
