That's... that's unforgivable

Magnus felt a surge of nervous energy as he neared Sabrina's table. With each step, his heart seemed to beat louder in his chest, the anticipation of seeing her up close driving him forward. As he finally reached her table, Magnus couldn't help but notice the way Sabrina's eyes lit up with surprise and delight at his approach.

"Sabrina," Magnus greeted her warmly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. His voice was smooth and confident, belying the nervous flutter in his stomach. "Mind if I join you?"

Sabrina's surprise quickly melted into a smile as she nodded eagerly. "Of course, Magnus," she replied, her voice tinged with excitement. She shifted slightly in her seat, making room for him at the table as she gestured for him to sit.

Magnus took the offered seat, his gaze never leaving Sabrina's face. Despite the noise and activity around them, it felt as though they were in their little bubble, the rest of the world fading into the background as they exchanged smiles and small talk.

For Magnus, being in Sabrina's presence felt like coming home. And as they sat together in the bustling cafeteria, surrounded by the chatter of their fellow students, he couldn't shake the feeling that this was just the beginning of something truly special.

Nia sat back, a smirk playing on her lips as she watched Sabrina and Magnus lost in their world, seemingly oblivious to the bustling cafeteria around them. As much as she hated to disturb them, Nia knew she had to intervene. With a clearing of her throat, she effectively brought Sabrina back to reality.

Sabrina blinked, momentarily disoriented until she noticed Nia's mischievous expression. "Oh, hey Nia," she greeted, offering her friend a sheepish smile.

Nia's eyes twinkled with amusement as she regarded Sabrina and then turned to Magnus, who had now shifted his attention to her. "So, you're the man who kidnapped my best friend yesterday," Nia quipped, her tone laced with playful sarcasm.

Magnus chuckled, the sound deep and rich, as he met Nia's teasing remark with a good-natured grin. "Guilty as charged," he replied, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

Sabrina's cheeks flushed at Magnus's response, a shy smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She playfully swatted his arm with her fist, a feeble attempt to convey embarrassment. "Hey, don't encourage him," she chided, though there was a hint of laughter in her voice.

Magnus grinned at Sabrina's playful reaction, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Sorry, Sabrina, but I can't promise to stop kidnapping you anytime soon," he teased, his tone light and affectionate.

Nia watched the exchange between Sabrina and Magnus with a grin, thoroughly entertained by their playful banter. It was clear that the two shared a special connection, and Nia couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness for her friend.

As they continued their breakfast, the atmosphere remained light and comfortable, the trio engaged in easy conversation and shared laughter. Despite the bustling cafeteria around them, it felt as though they were in their little bubble, their friendship growing stronger with each passing moment.

As Sabrina's mind drifted back to the unsettling events of the previous day, she couldn't shake off the lingering unease. With a furrowed brow, she turned to Magnus, her concern evident in her voice.

"Hey, Magnus," she began, her tone hesitant yet resolute. "Did you manage to find out who was behind the person who was tailing you during our outing yesterday?"

As Magnus and Sabrina sat together, the atmosphere was tense with anticipation as Magnus prepared to disclose the details of the investigation into the incident with the photographer. Sabrina's expression betrayed a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, her eyes fixed intently on Magnus as she awaited his explanation.

Finally, Magnus broke the silence, his voice calm yet tinged with a hint of indignation. "Sabrina," he began, "I've learned that the individuals behind the photographer who was tailing me are the same girls who threatened you to stay away from me."

Sabrina's eyes widened in disbelief, a surge of anger coursing through her veins at the revelation. "Those girls..." she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't believe they would stoop so low."

Magnus nodded solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he met Sabrina's eyes. "It's despicable," he agreed, his voice laced with quiet determination. "But we've uncovered their motives."

Sabrina's brows furrowed in confusion as she leaned in closer, eager to hear more. "Motives?" she echoed, her tone tinged with curiosity.

Magnus nodded, his expression grim. "They wanted to know more about my personal life," he explained, his voice tinged with frustration. "They hired the photographer to tail me, hoping to uncover some sort of scandal or secret."

Sabrina's eyes widened in disbelief, a mixture of shock and anger flashing across her features. "So, they were spying on you..." she trailed off, her voice barely above a whisper. "Just to satisfy their own curiosity?"

Magnus nodded, his jaw clenched in barely concealed anger. "Exactly," he confirmed, his voice heavy with disdain. "They had no regard for your safety or privacy. They were willing to go to great lengths just to satisfy their own selfish desires."

Sabrina's fists clenched involuntarily at her sides, her anger bubbling to the surface as she struggled to process the depth of the betrayal. "That's... that's unforgivable," she declared, her voice trembling with emotion. "They had no right to invade your privacy like that."

Magnus reached out to gently squeeze Sabrina's hand, offering her a reassuring smile. "I know, Sabrina," he murmured softly. "But rest assured, I won't let them get away with it. They will face the consequences of their actions."

Sabrina's heart swelled with gratitude as she looked at Magnus, grateful for his unwavering support and fierce protectiveness. It wasn't just about the intrusion into his own privacy that angered him; Magnus was genuinely outraged by the threat Sabrina had endured at the hands of those girls.

Sabrina's eyes flickered with a mixture of gratitude and determination as she met Magnus's gaze. "Thank you, Magnus," she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity. "For everything."

Magnus nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze unwavering as he returned her look. "You don't have to thank me," he replied, his voice filled with quiet resolve. "Protecting you is my priority. I won't let anyone harm you."

As Magnus and Sabrina sat together, united in their determination to confront the challenges ahead.

Eventually, as the morning rush began to subside, Nia glanced at her watch and realized the time. "Well, as much as I hate to break up this lovefest," she joked, flashing a playful grin at Sabrina and Magnus, "we should probably head to our lecture."

Sabrina and Magnus exchanged a knowing look before nodding in agreement. With a final round of laughter and lingering glances, they gathered their belongings and made their way out of the cafeteria.
