7:45 P.M.
We were late.
And I knew exactly who to blame.
"Urgh! We're late because of you!" I hissed, glaring at Gawain as we hurried down the corridor.
"I told you not to rush me!" he shot back, dodging slightly when I raised my hand. "And don't hit me! You'll crumple my outfit!"
I froze mid-swing.
"Oh, so now you care about your outfit?"
"Yes!" he snapped. "Do you know how expensive this looks?!"
"I paid for it!"
"Exactly! Which is why you should treat it with respect!"
I clicked my tongue, resisting the urge to wrinkle his perfectly ironed collar out of spite.
"Unbelievable," I muttered. "You were whining five minutes ago, and now you're acting like a noble."
"I look like a noble," he corrected smugly.
"You look like someone I'm about to trip."
"Don't you dare—"
Before our argument could escalate into physical violence and financial regret, we stepped inside the Function Hall.
The hall was breathtaking.
