"Why are you mad?"
"Zane was no help and purposely didn't fight back. He created a cement wall instead of a net," Maximus revealed through gritted teeth.
"My brain may be slow right now, but that sounds a bit stupid. The afterburst from the combined power from both forces would send us flying into the wall and could break a bone or two if it was hard enough," I concluded.
Maximus met my gaze with a sympathetic smile and my brain caught on.
"Don't tell me..." I trailed off when Maximus nodded.
"You noticed Zane was looking to the sidelines over at his new friends, who he confessed yesterday told him to do it. They reassured him they would use their connections to get him a good grade since he knew he wouldn't score well if the test ended up being long range spells."
"But...he could have just said so. It still doesn't explain the cement wall," I added.
"He said he didn't remember how to make a net," Maximus huffed.
"We learn that kind of thing in primary school. I knew how to do that when I was three." I mumbled the second part and Maximus grinned.
"You were a prodigy child, huh?"
"Is that the term used everywhere? I thought my family just called me that for fun."
"Ya, it's an actual term for a child showing fast mana development. Brax and I were often called that,” he admitted.
I wanted him to expand more on his childhood but I put it on the back burner so I could learn more about what had happened.
"Hmm...so I guess I flew back into the wall."
"Yes and hit your head really hard. Nixon used a teleport spell to bring us to the nurses' office and when we got you into bed, you had a seizure," Maximus explained with a frown.
I bit my lip, shivering at the word. I didn't like talking about my seizures. I hadn't had one in years, but I guess hitting my head must have triggered it.
Maximus squeezed my hand, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Logan explained you hate talking about it, so we don't need to. I just wanted to catch you up on things."
I nodded, glancing at the IV pole with distaste.
"Do I need that?"
"Well, now that you're awake, not really. Do you want it out?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Okay hold on." Maximus stood up, letting go of my hand.
I assumed he was going to get Savannah but he came to my left side, pressing a few buttons on the monitor before checking the site where the IV was.
"What are you doing?" I asked quietly, not wanting to wake Logan and the familiars.
"Taking your IV out,” he replied calmly.
"Um...I don't think that's legal," I pointed out.
He gave me a sexy smirk and grabbed a pair of gloves. I watched as he turned off the machine. Then he put his gloves on and checked the area of the IV site once more before he began pulling at the clear tape.
I glanced away; I hated watching when they pulled the IV out. Sure, it wasn't as gruesome as my mind was making it out to be, but it still grossed me out. I felt him pull it out, then a cool feeling of something cleaning the area.
When I looked back, he was placing a cotton ball on it after having cleaned the area with an alcohol swab. Then he put a pink bandage with hearts on it.
