Lemira had been trying to convince herself not to care about these. Evelina was only able to play this kind of tricks and had managed to drag Alaric into this mess at school; it seemed inevitable that Lemira's grades would be questioned. But when Orion asked about her grades, the wave of discomfort she felt was undeniable.
