and Jackson were strolling side by side.

"Do we have another class later?" Jackson asked in a casual tone.

"Yeah, we do."

Fiona blinked up at him; Jackson was taller, so she had to tilt her head back a bit: "But we could totally skip it, sneak out! I didn't eat enough at lunch, I'm starving. How about we grab a bite first, bro?" Another "bro" slipped out.

Jackson's gaze softened for a moment. This girl sure knew how to sweet-talk, probably hard for any guy to say no to that.

But he shook his head gently, "No can do."

"Look, kiddo, you're still a student, and your main gig is to hit the books, not skip class." He ruffled her hair with a big brotherly pat: "Be a good girl, head to class, and once you're done, I'll treat you to something nice." Fiona pouted, clearly not thrilled.

"Fine."
