"But we had classe—"

"I talked with the principal. He gave permission, now shut the fuck up."

He meekly nodded as I spat, glaring at him.

But then again, he wasn't wrong; we skipped half of today's classes just to be here.

'Three o'clock.'

Taking out my phone, I looked at the time. We can go back to the academy before curfew, which will be at ten tonight.
