Beatrice's POV:

It had been super awkward sharing a ride with Zane and Flynn.

I could tell Zane didn't want to sit in the same car as Flynn, but he only stayed because I was in the car and he didn't want to leave me alone with him.

Once we reached the school, Zane held the door open for me while Flynn opened the other side door.

I rolled my eyes at Flynn's attempts and accepted Zane's offer.

However, Zane wasn't displaying any emotions of victory or anything. He had a very blunt face, and his tongue was tied.

I was concerned that it was the calm before the storm.

"Where are you headed? We have to send out invitations." Flynn watched me walk away and instantly rushed in my direction. Zane, who was leading me, slowed down and eventually stopped. He turned around to look at us.

"I don't have any friends," I muttered, trying to walk past Flynn.

"Or you are afraid to call us your brothers?" Flynn smirked, his eyes taunting me.

"Flynn!" Zane walked back to us, heaving heavy breaths and clenching his jaw. He was so tall that he was able to tower over us both.

"Stop bothering her," Zane muttered, once again lacking any expression except for the secret clenching of his jaw.
