CHAPTER 13

"[F/N], arm wrestle Vasco."

You were in the middle of eating your lunch in your classroom when you saw Jace approaching you with Vasco who was startled by his words. It seemed Jace had not told the reason as to why they were seeing you.

"You don't have to-" Vasco tried to assure but you smiled before giving them a nod.

"Sure, I don't mind."

You rested your elbow on the desk, offering your hand to hold but Vasco hesitated as he seated himself in front of you.

"If you let me win on purpose, I'll be sad."

Vasco took your words to heart and he nodded with a determined look in his eyes. He held your hand as he put his elbow on the desk too but he lost his grip for a moment as he realised, you were holding hands.

A light blush tinted his cheeks, the feeling of your hand on his making his heart flutter.

"Three, two, one, go!"

He was taken out of his daze, his grip on your hand tightening as he used his power to make your hand touch the desk but his eyes widened as his hand was moving in the opposite direction.

Your smile turned into a grin as you used a lot of your strength to bring his hand down.

"Come on, Vasco!"

His hand was a millimeter from touching the desk and he pushed with all his might, gritting his teeth but all his effort became futile as you finished the match by having his hand press against the smooth surface of the desk.

"I win."

Vasco huffed, tired from the amount of strength he used while Jace was in a state of shock.

"You really are Master Bunny."

This made you blink before you turned to Jace with a raised brow.

"You didn't believe me even after the whole epic reveal?" You questioned while re-enacting the scene where you removed your mask in a comical way.

Vasco found your wording to be amusing while Jace chuckled as he sent you a nod.

"You look so innocent compared to how you were when you were kicking ass as Master Bunny." Jace mentioned and you sighed, shaking your head.

Vasco noticed that after you had revealed who you truly were, you had loosened up a lot more with him and his friends. Before, you were more reserved and was holding yourself back but now you seemed to have come out of your shell.

You took the last bite of your sandwich before gulping down your juice, wanting to finish your lunch so you could talk with the two architecture students since there was plenty of time until lunch time ended.

"So...I heard about Vasco almost getting expelled." You raised a brow at the boy of the topic who crossed his arms over his broad chest, a frown painting his lips as he recalled what had happened.

"The one who lost her wallet was the culprit who tried to frame Vasco. The reason behind it is still a mystery." Jace mentioned and you sighed as you thought over what Jasmine had put herself into.

She was considered to be a replica of 'the boy who cried wolf' where she would create lies to make herself seem as if she was this great person.

But from your point of view, you thought it was her way of coping with her real situation with her father being a disgusting piece of crap who put on a facade to fool others.

Speaking of Jasmine, you knew it was time for Hostel to make their mark into the story.

"What?! He told you to sell your spit?!"
