After the class ended Emily and Eve decided to go to the library for a group study. As Eve and Emily approached the library, they spotted Raphael leaning casually against a pillar near the entrance, his gaze drifting lazily around.
His eyes lit up when he saw them, and he pushed off the pillar with a smirk. "Well, well, if it isn't my favorite juniors," he drawled, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Emily's eyes narrowed, and she let out a barely audible sigh. "Raphael," she said coolly, trying to keep her voice steady. "What brings you here?"
Raphael's smirk widened. "Oh, just the usual saving the day by gracing you with my company. Mind if I join you on your quest for knowledge?"
Eve gave Emily a concerned look. "Is it okay if Raphael joins us? I don't want to cause any trouble." Emily's jaw tightened, but she forced a tight-lipped smile. "Sure, why not? The more, the merrier."
