Kaleb guessed that man was only saying those things to help Cassia get rid of him.

Hmph! I’m not falling for that.

“You didn’t even have a boyfriend before!” Kaleb blurted out. “There were tons of guys chasing you at school! Byron even brought you bubble tea every day.”

The moment he said it, whispers rippled through the crowd again.

“So she has a boyfriend and still takes stuff from other guys? She’s totally a player.”

“Wow. That’s messed up. What a slut!”

“Pretty face, but she manipulates guys. Two–timing, maybe more. Those guys are probably victims.”

“What the heck!”

Seven couldn’t take it anymore. He spat the words out and glared at Kaleb with pure disgust.

“You just swore you’d treat Ms. Wood well! And now you say something that makes people misunderstand her? You’re shoving her right into the storm!”

Click!

A seatbelt snapped loose in the car beside him.

Seven quickly grabbed Sterling, who was about to fling the door open and rush out.

“Don’t. Mr. Grey will handle him.”

Sterling paused when he saw the “trust me” look on Seven’s face. But the next second, his eyes locked on Cassia, worried and tense.

Draven narrowed his eyes at Kaleb.

“Did you ever see her respond to them?” Draven said coldly. “Did you ever see her accept Byron’s drink?”

“Hmm…” Kaleb froze.

Now that he thought about it, Cassia really had ignored every guy who chased her. Even though Byron brought her bubble ted every day, she had never taken it.

Draven stepped forward and stood with calm control, like a general who had fought a hundred battles–steady, sharp, and impossible to ignore.

“This was all in your heads,” he said. “She did nothing. She gets bothered by you people every day, and now you’re trying to slap at

label on her?”

Kaleb fell silent.

For some reason, Kaleb’s calves wouldn’t stop shaking. He didn’t know if it was Draven’s presence, or his voice, or both.

Draven kept going. “What you’re doing now is harassment. Don’t tell me you don’t know the difference between harassment and liking someone.”

That was enough to swing the crowd’s opinion again.

“When you put it like that, yeah.”

“So she wasn’t playing anyone. Okay, good.”

“Honestly, if she stayed firm with all those guys chasing her, that’s kind of rare.”

“I wasn’t talking to you!” Kaleb’s chest rose and fell hard. He was scared, but he still forced himself to glare at Draven.

Then he turned to Cassia, clinging to the last bit of hope he had. “Cassia, I trust you. I’m asking you–are you really with him? When did you get together?”

Cassia frowned.

She and Draven weren’t truly a real couple. But she could feel it; Draven was protecting her.

Kaleb leaned forward, desperate. “Tell me the truth! If you don’t say it yourself, I’ll keep coming after you until I move you!”

His voice made Cassia’s patience snap.

She glanced sideways at Draven.

Since she had already agreed that once summer break came, she would go with him to Vrastin and pretend to be his girlfriend for a while.

And now that the SAT was over. Fine. She’ll treat this like practice.

Cassia lifted her chin, a small smile curling at her lips. She raised her brows, then reached out and hooked her arm through Draven’s. “You can see for yourself.”

Just a few simple words. But to Draven, it felt like getting strapped to a rocket and blasted into space.

His gaze dropped to his arm–Cassia’s pale, smooth forearm, her long, clean fingers, pressed close against him with no space between them.
