"Right, luv" He looked less suspicious now but still curious

"What does he want to seetoward the mansion God I wouldn’t be surprised if so to him that I’d thrown bits of their past at them

"Don’t look so worried," chuckled Evan

"I’m not worried It’s just that I feel like I’m been sent for by the School Head Master and escorted to the Head Master’s office to get a rollicking for so like that" He held the door open for rand hallway of the mansion "He probably just wants to make sure you’re okay after what happened yesterday" After athe hallway he said, "So, are you okay?"

"No offence, but I’d rather not keep going with this conversation considering that I know exactly what course it’ll take"

"It’ll take a course?" he asked, amused

"I’ll say I’m fine, then you’ll say I can’t really be fine, then I’ll try to convince you I am, then you’ll say how it must have been really hard for me kill him"

"Well it must have been"

"Jared, Max and Fletcher said the sa and all three times it made me feel like shit"

"Why?"

"Because it wasn’t hard I did it without thinking"

"You did it to protect Antonio, that’s nothing to feel bad about" Gently Evan squeezed s you to smile yourself So I did And that’s the moment – while Evan had his hand onat each other widely – that fate decided it would be fun for Jared to walk down the sa in our direction His face was a picture of fury Oh bugger

Where’re you taking her? I heard in ht to me instead of Evan?

Antonio wants to see her Why are we talking about this telepathically? Evan’s confusion didn’t show on his face

Then I understood as happening Absorbing a little of Jared’s power must have made it possible for me to listen to telepathic conversations around me I didn’t let it show that I could hear

Jared, nearly at us: Why are you taking her to hiet her, what’s the problem?

Jared: No problem You can both do what you want, it’s none of et it, she won’t let you screw her, will she?
