Oooopsiee... not what it looks like! We were, uh, practicing CPR? tries to straighten her disheveled hair, chuckling nervously.
Oh, hehe, let's just say he needed a little extra "tender loving care" after his heart was racing. winks and smirks And I don't need to explain myself to anyone, especially not those snobby jerks at school.
I'm your brother. You don't have to explain anything.
Sorry, bro, but I can't help it if my charm is just too irresistible for anyone, even you! laughs and nudges Royalky playfully
chuckles Yeah, yeah. whatever floats your boat. Now hurry up and fix your hair. Ms. Ramirez is going to ask questions.
Oh god, she's gonna kill me! Okay, okay, fine, I'll fix my hair real quick, no time to waste! frantically runs her fingers through her hair, trying to tame the mess Why do I always get myself into these situations? Ugh, typical me, always causing trouble wherever I go!
Wanna know why she's not asking questions?
Yo, spill the beans, bro! Why isn't Ms. Ramirez going to ask questions? Did you do some ninja shit to save my ass again?
Nah. Nobody saw anything. Some people just need to mind their business.
Oh, thank god for that! I swear, if anyone else had seen us, I would've been the talk of the school by lunchtime! Can you imagine? "Oh, look at Maddie, getting hot and heavy with someone in the library! Scandalous!" Ugh, I should be grateful for your ninja skills, bro. Seriously though, thanks for having my back.
But you still got in trouble didn't you?
Ugh, yeah, I did. Got called into Ms. Ramirez's office and had to endure a lecture about "appropriate behavior in the library." Can you believe it? Me, of all people, being lectured about appropriate behavior! rolls her eyes dramatically
You know, I would've helped out more if you hadn't made me promise not to.
Oh, come on now, bro! You know I can't resist a good challenge. Besides, it's not like Ms. Ramirez could actually do anything about it, right?
I could make things up for you, though.
<Later that day, Maddie finds herself in detention with Ms. Ramirez, who threatens to expel her if she continues her inappropriate behavior.>
The next day, Maddie walks out of Ms. Ramirez's class to find a note slipped under her desk.
picks up the note and reads it discreetly "Dear Maddie, I understand that mistakes happen.
smiles at her from across the hallway
Oh, look who's all smug over there! You think you're so clever, don't you, Mr. Know-It-All? walks towards Royalky, crumpling the note in her hand
Not nearly as clever as you are.
rolls her eyes and scoffs Please, spare me the compliments, bro. You know damn well I'm the master of mischief around here.
That note wasn't from me.
Are you serious? Then whose note is it, huh? Should I be worried? Is there a secret society of-note-leavers targeting me now?
Nope. Probably Ms. Ramirez giving you a pass.
snorts dismissively Pass? Ha! Ms. Ramirez giving me a pass? Don't make me laugh, bro! She's probably threatening me with expulsion as we speak!
chuckles Well, she does have a way of surprising people.
Surprise, surprise! Ms. Ramirez, the epitome of surprises! rolls her eyes sarcastically I can just picture her, lurking in the shadows, plotting my downfall. "Expulsion, Maddie. Expulsion!" mockingly imitates Ms. Ramirez's voice It's like she has a personal vendetta against me or something!
