"You? A worthless bastard like you is trying to play hero for Nova?"
Caleb tried to wrench his arm away, but Alaric stood like a statue, effortlessly holding him in an unbreakable grip.
Realizing he couldn't even break free from Alaric, Caleb's face darkened. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Sylvie sitting nearby, watching him with tear-filled eyes.
Unwilling to look weak in front of the girl he liked, Caleb waited for an opening and viciously kicked Alaric in the stomach.
Caught off guard, Alaric stumbled backward and crashed into a desk.
Seeing this, Nova instantly threw herself in front of Alaric, shielding him. "Caleb! Are you out of your mind? You can't just hit people!"
"So what if I hit him? He should know his place before he gets in my way!"
Caleb sneered, clearly thinking he looked like some untouchable bad boy, when in reality, he was just being despicable.
Furious, Nova turned toward the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Teacher! Caleb is attacking people!"
"Nova! Shut your mouth!"
Caleb's face went pale, but it was too late. Ms. Albright had heard the commotion. She rushed in to find Alaric clutching his stomach, his face ashen, while Caleb was still pointing an angry finger right at Nova's nose.
Having reached her breaking point, Ms. Albright snapped. "Caleb Langdon! How many scenes are you going to cause in one day? I am calling your parents the second school lets out!"
Ms. Albright had clearly already caught flak from Mr. Sterling, so she unleashed all her pent-up frustration on Caleb.
At the threat of calling his parents, Caleb's arrogant swagger instantly vanished.
Once Ms. Albright dragged Caleb away, Nova turned to the pale-faced boy behind her. "I'm taking you to the Nurse's Office."
Without waiting for a response, Nova draped Alaric's arm over her shoulders. He stiffened, staring at the side of her face in a slight daze.
