Chapter 54

That was until Merrin looked up from where she’d taken a seat at the lecturer’s desk.

“Brianna,Booth,remain here a moment.”She told us,and several other students who were walking out ahead of us paused to whisper among themselves.

The lecturer waited until we were alone in the room before speaking up again.At least that was something.

“Seeing as the two of you already appear close.”Merrin scowled at us both.“Booth will be your tutor for Latin and help you catch up to the rest of the class.”
