51 New classmate

"What?"

Shock reigned over Asher's face as he stared at his brother's smug and proud grin. He knew Luke often decide on impulse, but no matter how his little brother loathed the academy, he stayed because that was the best academy in the country. Just graduating from it alone would open countless opportunities for anyone.

"You will transfer school?" Asher asked, and his brother nodded as an answer. "To the school where that young miss of the Blac Family is attending?"

Luke kept on nodding. "Correct!" he grinned, arms crossed. "I will show her my sincerity, brother."

Asher could only stare at that arrogance plastered on his brother's face, which Luke brought until the next day. And just like the shock on Asher's face, Cosette's and Maxen's jaw nearly hit their desk as they also stared at that smug grin in front of the classroom.
