‘Can't you stop touching me, Mr. Rigast?’I tease my fiancé via telepathy.
He smiles softly before giving me a quick glance.‘Never, angel.’
I roll my eyes teasingly and he laughs. Cameron and Arthur look at us with raised eyebrows, confused. I shrug and they ignore it.
We enter the classroom and sit at the tables in the back, as usual. There are already students inside.
I pull some parchment, my pen, and some ink from my bag and place them in front of me so I can take notes during class. I glance over at Matt, who's watching me, his arm resting on the desk, his head in his hand and a smirk on his face. I raise an eyebrow and narrow my eyes.
“You'd better take notes today, Rigast. I won't give you mine.”
His smile widens and he raises his eyebrows. “Calling me Rigast again, angel?”
“Just get your stuff out, Matt,” I roll my eyes.
“Yes ma'am,” he laughed.
He takes everything he needs out of his bag and places it on the desk. He looks at me with a small smile before returning to his previous position, head in his hand. I roll my eyes again teasingly, and he raises a questioning eyebrow.
“What?”
“You're going to have to stop looking at me to take notes, you know?”
“I have the right to admire my wife,” he shrugs.
I feel myself blush and I look down to try and hide it, gently biting my lower lip to suppress a smile.
That idiot.
“I'm not your wife yet,” I whisper.
He shrugs again before leaning towards my ear. His breath fanning my skin makes me shiver and I hold my breath. “You will be very soon, darling.”
I blush even harder and open my mouth to answer him when I jump at the sound of loud voices entering the classroom. We both turn towards them and my eyes widen when I see Tom walk in with Pryce Payne and Sean Clayton at his side.
Since when has he been friends with these two?
‘I have no idea, angel. They're assholes and Tom hates them.’Matt's voice echoes in my head, as confused as I am.
I glare at him for reading my mind again, but he shrugs innocently. I roll my eyes and watch the three boys walk to the other side of the classroom and sit at the far tables at the back. I'm even more surprised to see Tom sitting next to Payne.
What the fuck is going on?
The day is going well, the classes are boring as always. Although I did enjoy the dead languages class a little.
Matt took notes during the Transfiguration story, but he didn't take any in other classes. I scolded him, but he brushed it off, saying he'd just borrow mine.
I swear this boy is going to drive me crazy one day. He's smart, but he hates using his brain in front of people who aren't our friends or me. He never takes notes, never participates in class, and hardly ever does his homework. I don't even know how he passes his classes, but amazingly, he does. He passes every single one.
When I tell you this boy is smart…
We enter the main hall for dinner, my eyes fall automatically on the three wizard boys sitting apart from the others, making me frown. Tom hasn't left Payne and Clayton's side all day.
They were practically glued to his sides, and we all found it suspicious. Matt tried to read his brother's mind, but he blocked every time.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Nancy grabs my wrist and forces me to sit next to her, making me squeak in surprise. I give her a scowl as she laughs. Matt sits on the other side and we begin filling our plates.
“So... There's a party tonight,” my cousin starts.
