"You read manga?" I asked Kage, who smiled in excitement as he nodded.
"I have a whole collection. I hope our parents don't find it because they think reading them is a waste of time, but I hid the majority of it. I watch anime sometimes but the manga version is better,” he revealed.
I grinned, glancing at Logan.
"You two can be friends."
Logan sighed.
"Jewel, you're not supposed to tell everyone about that,” he mumbled.
"Why? I think your obsession is cute," I complimented.
"Does that mean we have a chance at Jewel?" Zane asked Kage who rolled his eyes.
"You don't even read manga. Go away,” Kage huffed.
"Last time I checked, Jewel was MY girlfriend," Logan announced.
"Hey Jewel, can I get first dibs if Logan fucks up?" Nixon asked.
"Nixon's secretly a womanizer," Maximus grumbled.
Logan huffed.
"I don't share."
"My eyes tell me otherwise," Nixon grinned and I blushed glancing over at Logan.
"Tell your eyes to fuck off,” Logan scolded, his face flushed.
"You know, eyes are a part of the human body and can't hear when you insult them," Kage announced.
"I think he knows that," Zane pointed out.
"We're totally OFF topic. Jewel, you're not going anywhere," Maximus declared.
"Oh, right!" Zane exclaimed. "Ya, what Maximus said.”
"But... I can't stay... right? Aren't you going to tell?" I frowned. "You did say the headmaster knows. Ms. Landsford and the main nurse too," Kage reminded.
"Ah, yes," I replied.
"Then what's the problem?" Nixon asked.
I glanced at all of them, looking confused.
"Aren't you guys upset that I'm a girl?" I asked.
"No. Guys don't really stress about those things," Zane commented with a shrug.
"Plus you're really nice and helped us pass the test," Kage added.
"And you're hot," Maximus said.
We all turned to him and he blushed, suddenly realizing what he just said. He quickly raised his hands.
"I didn't mean that! I mean... fuck, whatever,” he huffed, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked away.
