LVIX

AIDEN RETURNED inside the classroom a few minutes later with a sheepish grin.

Laia was quick to walk towards him, concern on her face. "What did she say?"

"Nothing serious," The boy beckoned Laia to return to where everyone was. "She was just concerned about my performance,"

"But she does realize that you were a late enrolee right? It's not your fault--"

"What happened?" Vivi interjected, pushing the asshat away from her and running towards Aiden.

"Just a few concerns," Aiden replies dismissively. 

With the tone of the boy's voice, Laia knew by then that it was more than just a few concerns. Knowing that her Mathematics teacher was someone who would often stick her nose to where it doesn't belong (like how she repeatedly asked Laia when she was a freshman if she was taking memory-enhancing pills because of her high grades) it's a given that she might've said something inappropriate to Aiden as well.
