"No. You can't do that. No. Not that." Jude got up. "You are not going to work with me."
Jude added, "And No! Both of you are not going to act like we are friends. Because we're not! Nope! You are not going to — Goddess! Why is this happening to me?"

"You — You brat! How could you want me to work with her?" Jude said. "You don't know anything, do you?"
"You — You—" Jude pointed at Matthew, then towards Ava. "You had a partner before, right? You were assigned with her after graduation. She was meant to — be your partner. A shifter."
