Pouting at the way she spoke to him, Paxton huffed. He – of all people! – was being told off by a girl. He didn’t oft get reprimanded by girls! Except the staffers at the resort… and his mother… sometimes his sister… and other adults. But not by someone his age who was in his year! It was embarrassing.
Though in the same breath, Paxton also found himself nodding as she spoke. He did, after all, like hanging around her and he wanted to be her friend and so if this was the price of it then he’d surely pay it.
“I.. Fine,” Paxton conceded, “I won’t tease you anymore, Miss Mulciber,” He said with a defeated sigh – returning to calling her by her family name now he was calmer, “Sorry.”
Merlin, why did he feel so bad right now?
