Reed and I walked out of class together, and I couldn't help but give him a long, unimpressed stare.
"Do you have a class related to thieves?" I asked, keeping my tone flat.
Reed gasped dramatically, clutching his chest like I had just insulted his entire bloodline. "Did you just label this Ancient One Heir as a thief? How preposterous!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the hallway.
"Hey, chunni! What are you even talking about?" I snapped back, trying to keep my cool but failing.
Before I could press further, we heard footsteps behind us. Turning around, we saw Roderick approaching with his usual grin plastered across his face. Without hesitation, he slung an arm around Reed, poking him playfully.
"What was that nonsense you were spouting just now?" Roderick asked, clearly enjoying himself.
"I'm speaking the truth!" Reed replied, puffing out his chest like he was defending some ancient prophecy.
