Chapter 27- You Are In A Bloody Bad Mood Lately (2)

P H R A S E R

I shook my head and snapped, "You are too slow." Why had I left school early? If only I had waited a bit longer, I would have seen Margaux and maybe if she had seen me, she would stop further harassing Autumn. Stupid!

Corbin cursed under his breath, then added a louder, "Bloody hell," for good measure. He rarely cursed and it had me surprised for a split second. "What has gotten into you?"

"Nothing," I nearly snarled. "Why?"

Corbin took a step backward, keeping a safe distance from me. "Oh, I do not know," he intoned with sarcasm. "Maybe because you started throwing a punch and nearly knocked me out right after I told you that I was not ready."

"In real life, your attacker will not care whether you are ready or not. If you are in an alley and they suddenly aim to punch you, do you think they will stop if you tell them that you are not ready?!" I replied with a grunt.
