Matthew looked away, rubbing his temple. "I didn't know that's what I was doing."

She groaned and floated in circles. "Unbelievable. You're the first Nexian I've ever met who could probably faint after an essay."
Matthew leaned his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. "Yeah, well. At least I'm getting good grades."
