Chapter 174: One can't have it all

Cosette raised her hand in the middle of the third subject, signaling to the teacher she wanted to use the bathroom. The teacher simply nodded as he continued his lecture. As she pushed herself up, she glanced in Maxen's seat to tell him she would be back, only to see him sleeping on his desk. 

'It's been a while since I saw him sleep during class, but I guess they had a rough night.' Cosette mentally shook her head at the thought that something had happened last night. Whatever it was, she was certain it must be something huge.

Cosette left the classroom quietly, stopping in the corridor. She looked back and instead of heading to the restroom; she made a turn on the stairs to search for Luke. She said it earlier that she would drag him back to the classroom by means or foul if he skipped again. 

"I swear if I saw him hanging out with those delinquents again, I'll beat some senses into him." Cosette cracked her knuckles angrily. "He better not."
