If it weren't for his rivalry with Asher, Lysander wouldn't have even bothered with this competition
When Elara overheard Lysander-usually so straight-laced-make a rare comment about Asher, she couldn't help but chuckle
"Wow, never pegged him for the gossiping type, Elara thought, though she knew Lysander was just being honest.
"You're seriously something else!" she exclaimed. "I mean, look at you-handsome, smart, great at sports. Every pri at my table today couldn't stop drooling over you."
"I don't even know who they are, Lysander said flatly
Elara laughed. "I know you don't. That's not the point-I'm just saying, you've got people mesmerized"
Lysander didn't respond, staying silent as usual.
After a pause, Elara asked, "Aren't you worried people might start talking? I mean, us hanging out together, so publicly, at school? You know how people are."
"What would they say?" Lysander shot her a confused look.
Elara smirked. "There's this rumor going around that I'm, you know, some rich guy's sugar baby. They're always whispering about it behind my back. My reputation's already trashed."
Lysander's expression didn't change. "I couldn't care less about that," he said firmly, "Besides, do you even look like the type who needs some old dude's money!"
Elara laughed again, shaking her head. He'd clearly heard the rumors all along but never said a word-until now.
"He doesn't show up just to play knight in shining armor, does he?' she wondered.
The driver pulled up and dropped them off at a restaurant for dinner.
