"Why is he walking towards our table?" Kat panicked
"How am I suppose to know?" Lauren snapped.
"We have screwed this mission from the very start of the day, If Mia is going to yell at us for this, I would say it's best one of us takes the blame for this" Kat reasoned, visibly panicking
Simi could barely believe these words just came out of Kat's mouth.
It was unexpected
"Really? That's the only play we have here?" Simi asked
"What do you expect me to say? We are not suppose to have any communication whatsoever with the prince and we are about to get our team kicked off this mission" Kat said, hardly breathing
Simi could see how worried Kat was and is very much aware of what this mission meant to her and the team.
"Code 3" Lauren offered
Before Kat could process what happened, Simi, Lauren and Naomi slipped out of their seats and head out of the cafeteria.
"Those slimy snakes!" Kat muttered
"Pardon?" Mark asked, staring at her with a glint in his eyes
"Uhm?" Kat asked
Mark glanced over his shoulder, eyes on Naomi who was just walking out of the cafeteria.
"They seem to be in a hurry. Classes aren't starting anytime soon" Mark reasoned as he settled on the seat opposite Kat's.
"Well, we made a bet and I lost. And I should probably get to the dare now" Kat said standing on her feet
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable" Mark apologised
"It's fine" Kat assured
"I was hoping I would get to meet the girls my brothers were so worked up about," Mark said with a shrug
"Your brothers were…talking about us?" Kat asked, not sure how to seem to Mark.
Happy, worried or unbothered.
"Yeah. The little stunt you girls pulled, it got everyone's attention and half the school is talking about the girls who challenged the quads" Mark chuckled
"Walking past you isn't a challenge. We weren't about to pull a stop when you and your brothers weren't ready to" Kat reminded
Mark nodded
"Fair point. I just dropped by to say hi. And give you a heads up. Things might get a bit rough around here from now on. Ryan isn't so happy about this" Mark winked at Kat.
"How could you say something so serious with a smile?" Kat asked, unable to understand boys sometimes.
This is him telling her, that she and her teammates were likely to get bullied. And he's smiling about something so serious…
Who does that?
"It's no big deal. Everyone is likely going to, you know, make fun of you and things like that but you girls seem tough." Mark replied innocently.
"Of course. This isn't the first time someone is getting bullied for challenging you right? And it's fine by you as long as you aren't the one getting hit." Kat sighed, picked up her things and walk straight out of the hall.
Mark heads back to his brothers, hiding the scroll on his face with a smirk.
"Signed, sealed, delivered!" He said settling down on his seat.
