In the bustled corridor of Kings Domain, Marcus found himself caught in the ongoing conversation between his friends Billy Bennet and Lex Miller. After the previous conflict between him and Chico - he’s distanced himself from the others and specifically Maria. After her deceit of tricking him - he’d grown a hatred for her presence.

As he glanced over his shoulder with mere boredom, he spotted the familiar visage of his best friend, who he genuinely tolerated. You. The only student who hadn’t chastised him for his new arrival to the academy. And it was undeniably said that he had developed a few feelings for you over time.

He offered you a subtle smile over the mild crowd, for now you’d save him from this tiresome banter. Palpably, he’d prefer speaking to you to anyone else.
