Orion soon starts attacking Jalen only for Jalen to avoid his every move so easily until Orion fell to the floor feigning a hurt when Mr. Bitters comes over seeing the whole thing and sends Jalen to his office to Orion’s pleasure. However, Jalen was off with a warning when the English teacher E.D. Pennington bails him out.
When Bryce and Lucina have lunch together, having feelings for one another, Orion is infuriated and attempts to go over there to make Bryce look bad however, on his way over, he didn’t pay attention to the banana peel he stepped on, thrown by Lucas Stone, causing him to slip and slide until he falls face plant on to a tray of meatloaf.
Orion plans on asking Lucina out on a date by giving her a teddy bear with a recorder but on his way to see her, he bumped into Emmett Cullen causing the recorder to turn on where the office lady heard him calling her “an uptight bitch” unbeknownst it was Emmett who did it, getting Orion in trouble as he was seen being dragged by the ear by the office lady. He was seen having dinner at Sky Restaurant with his friends when they saw Bryce and Lucina who are on their date. Orion blames Bryce for what happened earlier believing he’s responsible for it when he saw Bryce asked Lucina out after Orion failed to do so coincidentally. With Mitch’s help, they were about to throw chocolate cake on Bryce when Jacob Black and Renesmee Cullen comes in and Jacob got Mitch to throw the cake at Orion instead. After informing the manager of the complaint, Orion and his friends were banned from the restaurant. Orion plans to sue them however it failed because of the Cullens.
A month since Bryce and Lucina started dating, Orion, Mitch and Falkner kidnaps Bryce during school where they beat him up and locked him in the janitor’s closet hoping that Orion has his chance with Lucina when she thinks Bryce stood her up. However, Bryce was found by the Cullens somehow and his plan failed once again.
On the day before winter break, Orion planted a note in Lucina’s locker telling her to meet him so that he can kiss her under the mistletoe only somehow, the note was given to Amy who took Lucina’s place, unbeknownst to him caused by Alice Cullen. Orion meets up with Lucina who is with Bryce, Lucas, Jalen and Krystal Diamond and there was almost a fight until E.D. comes in threatening Orion that her husband can put a restraining order on him and he begrudgingly leaves.

At the second half of the game, Orion's team started catching up. During that, Orion tries to get Lucina’s every time he scores but she ignores him as her attention was all on Bryce. Near the end, Orion had the ball and was about to score to win the game but was blocked and the ball ended up being passed to Bryce who shoots and score at the last second winning the game and to Orion’s disbelief, not only the school was cheering for Bryce, but Bryce was given the spot for college basketball over Orion which made him furious. He confronts Bryce once again blaming him how his night turned out throwing a punch at him only for Bryce to avoid it which ended up hitting Lucina. After a scuffle between Bryce and Orion, the whole school was angry at Orion for hitting a girl and because of his poor sportsmanship, Orion was kicked off the team.
On the first day back after winter break, Orion confronts Bryce hearing that he got a new makeover and was once again making accusations that Bryce is only getting on the Cullen’s good side to make Lucina love him more while stating to believe Lucina is love with Orion which she is not. Soon, a verbal confrontation insures between The Big Five and the Cullens when Mr. Bitters comes in once again siding with Orion and his friends getting ready to give the Cullens detention until somehow Bryce persuades Mr. Bitters out of it much to Orion’s disbelief.
One afternoon, Orion was taking a hike until a storm was brewing and was heading home until he notices something odd and hears something making Orion curious to know but as he arrives, there was nothing and no one there. However, Orion was certain that he recognizes the Cullen’s voices there. He then confronts Jalen about it which Jalen denies and walks away.

At Orion’s house, he and his friends hear from Falkner what he has found about the Cullens. They see that the Cullens have graduated numerous times along with feeding false family relationship. They also found out that Jalen is actually an adult despite the age he looks and that he is wanted from raping his foster sister and beating their foster father for silence and has been on the run.

Jalen’s actions were praised by everyone leaving Orion in disbelief as he tries to show everyone the Cullen’s files only to have disappeared, unbeknownst to him by the Cullens. His actions for blackmailing Jalen were also exposed by Elena as Lucina and Bryce knew the truth and Lucina stomped on Orion’s foot hard and Bryce punched him very hard.
