"Especially Jewel."
I blinked, pausing in trying to finish my milkshake.
"Why me?" I asked.
"What you did at the test center somehow spread across the school. The professors must have been impressed with your performance and someone was snooping around, which is common, so it spread it around even faster. Nixon and I figured out something to ensure your female aura won't show, but your mana and magic caliber even at rest is higher than 75% of the students here," Braxton explained.
"So, I'm a walking target for secret clubs. How delightful," I hummed, rolling my eyes as I sipped my drink.
"HOOT!"
I glanced up to see Alice fly into the room in her owl form. She landed on Braxton's shoulder who merely frowned at her. She tilted her head, looking rather proud to be bothering him.
He sighed, shaking his head but let her stay on his shoulder.
"Not to mention you have Alice over here,” he added, pointing at my familiar.
"Hoot?" she asked. "What did I do?"
"You didn't do anything, Alice," I replied out loud to her.
Kage smiled, patting his shoulder.
"Come here, Alice. Braxton's just being an ass."
Alice fluttered her wings and hopped off Braxton's shoulder to fly over to land on Kage's.
I smirked and returned my attention to Braxton who didn't seem bothered by his younger brother's comment.
"You're not the only one, Nixon too,” he pointed out.
Nixon continued sipping his drink like he didn't have a care in the world.
"What about you?" Logan asked.
Braxton raised an eyebrow at him.
"Aside from the fact we're dorm mates, would you casually approach me if you didn’t have to?"
We were all silent, sipping on our milkshakes.
"Hoot," Alice mumbled. "Hell nah."
"Thanks, Alice. I prove my point." Braxton replied with a smug grin.
"Don't the others have to be careful too?" I asked.
"Of course. We all did well, but we three will be their first targets if this club still exists," Braxton determined.
I looked to Nixon who finished his milkshake.
"I'll keep on the lookout,” he replied, sounding unconcerned.
I glanced at Logan who looked irritated but quickly masked his face when he noticed my gaze.
"Guess we're going," Maximus announced, rising up.
"Shouldn't we start figuring out what to wear if this is one of those cool parties?" Kage asked Zane.
