Chapter 29: Need A Ride?

"No. He's my best friend, but I don't tolerate his behavior," Mason answered without hesitation. "And besides, he'll recover.

"Alright." Mason nodded and left, leaving me and Evangeline alone.

I smiled. Mason was right. She's proud of what I did, and I could feel it.

The news spread like wildfire. To make matters worse, the video of Haze writhing in pain while I stood there smirking like a demon had already been posted on the university's unofficial page.
