The guys all grunted, coughing out water and cursing while the other students glanced at them in confusion.

I gawked at Braxton who patted me on the shoulder.

"There. They'll think twice before messing with you." He winked and began walking forward.

I grinned, internally squealing at his protective nature.

I absolutely loved it and his compassion towards his brothers never ceased to amaze me. I took one last glance at the three guys when I noticed a pair of eyes staring at me. Before I could clear my vision, the person turned, only their orange hair noticeable from this distance.

I frowned, feeling like I'd seen someone like that before but shook my head, dismissing the idea.

"I'm so hungry."

I took quick steps to catch up with Braxton and we went into the cafeteria building to find Kage and Alice.

For now, we'd just have to keep an eye out on those three guys since my gut told me they were bad news.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

"The point of this session is for those who I haven't seen summon a familiar yet to make an attempt to do so. I'd like you all to practice because this will be a part of your midterm and final exams," Mr. Huffling ordered.

We all nodded and moved to different areas of the field, Braxton, Kage and I went to the corner of the field near the fence.

Kage had been on the quiet side for the majority of lunch, only adding occasional comments to our conversation, so unlike his usual inquisitive nature.

Zane had been in the cafeteria, sitting on the other side with his two friends and a few others.

They didn't seem very powerful, their magic aura weak in my opinion compared to Zane's but he looked excited to be around them.

It was like viewing the popular table and knowing who belonged and who didn't. It made me rather happy it was an all-boy school so we didn't need to deal with girls squealing and fighting to get to sit with those guys, each trying to claim one of them as their boyfriend.

We were three and a half hours into class and I couldn't wait for it to be over.

I was really tired now, wishing I was able to get a good night’s sleep to help me feel more energized, especially on days like today when we had to use a lot more magic.

I mentally had to encourage myself that I'd be home within an hour after I took a shower and walked home. The only bonus was getting to see Braxton in a towel since he was gonna stay back with me to shower.

Kage barely broke a sweat in this class and said he'd walk home ahead of us and take Alice with him.

I felt more relaxed that Alice was going with him, her aura strong enough to make people wary simply by her presence. Even with the other familiars, she was the strongest out of the bunch and made them feel intimidated, or so she explained.

I guess familiars had it hard too.

"I guess I can't participate in this lesson," I pointed out, looking at Alice who was falling asleep on my shoulder.

"Hoot..." she replied."I'm semi here."

"Uh huh." I pet her soothingly.

Take a nap, I’ll wake you up if anything happens.

She didn't reply, falling asleep within seconds. I looked back to Braxton and Kage who both had smiles on their faces.

"Guess Kage can go for it," Braxton said as he stretched his arms.

Kage raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why?"
