"You stay out of it, Maximus. This is our academy, and every student must do their best to be a part of it. She has been getting way too many favors. It's time she realizes it's not easy to be part of RVS," he never looked away from me. But the clenching of his jaw made me scared of him. And before I knew it, I was so scared that I turned to run and continue with the punishment, but I accidentally tripped on something, and the next thing I knew, I tasted blood in my mouth.
"Dude!" Maximus grunted at his brother, rushing to help me. I got up but held my hand near my mouth. I might have a busted lip where I was bleeding from.
"Every student goes through that. Stop acting like it's something unusual," Kaye surprised me with his reaction.
Even when I had so many conflicts with Maximus, even when I doubted his overly sweet behavior toward me, I appreciated how quickly his expression changed to concern when he saw me in pain. But Kaye! He was so indifferent.
