The day's matches were over.
Serena, Kain, Bridge, Addison, Aiden, Leonara, Finn, and Elias were all gathered in the same private back room at a cafe on the north side of campus. Tucked above a student-run bookstore and blessedly free of eavesdroppers, it had become something of an unofficial base of operations. Although, due to Kain and Serena often being on missions, he hadn't come to this café nearly as often as the others. The table creaked beneath the weight of drinks, desserts, and general chaos.
Kain picked up the café's new drink, a disturbingly neon pink smoothie, and couldn't resist raising a brow at the taste. It was surprisingly delicious…
Unfortunately, he couldn't fully enjoy his drink because Addison's sparkling eyes, red face, and jittery body were practically screaming that she was hiding something and was desperate to share.
"You," he said, pointing at Addison with his straw, "are being suspicious."
