Chapter 40

Maxine's Point of View

As they said, I bought my food for lunch and went straight to the rooftop because I didn't have anyone to eat with in the cafeteria. People might just look at me there.

When I got to the rooftop I immediately removed the food I had bought from the plastic. I was about to eat my food because I was already hungry when the rooftop door suddenly opened loudly. My ghad! It startled me!

I turned to my back where the door was, and my brows met in an instant when I saw Alyn, “What are you doing here? Aren't you with your cousins?”

"Do I have to ask your permission to come here?" he came over and sat down next to me. I was surprised when he dropped his food next to my food.

I immediately removed my gaze from the food and turned my gaze back to him, "That's not what I meant."
