Mia, who stood by Owen's side was too stunned to react. She hadn't expected Owen to be foolish enough to throw a stone at her professor!
She could see the rising rage in his eyes. In the span of a few weeks she had known him, she knew he had a bad temperament and she had also witnessed him beat up people, Mia already knew that Owen wasn't going to be spared for his stupid act today. But Owen was her childhood friend, even though she didn't support the fact that he had thrown a stone at Mr. Ice cube and had even injured him, she was even more afraid of his rage and what he could do to Owen due to that rage.
Instinctively, the urge to protect her friend kicked into her and she moved to stand in front of Owen protectively, her gaze pleading as her eyes locked with Neil's.
