~Sabrina~
My eyes first fell on Kaleb, then Khemos and lastly, Kael as I walked into our hall for training. Damn. This is going to be the most humiliating part of my day.
Funny enough, Kael had an amused expression on his face as I walked over to the trio which sort of eased up the unspoken tension that wrapped around the brothers. I could feel it and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Kael had hinted at it last night at the party but I have no intention of prying further even though I was so curious. Whatever they had going on bothered me a bit and I don't know why.
Maybe it's as a result of linking our minds together, but one quick glance at the rest of the students in this hall, I knew they weren't feeling what I felt.
For whatever the case may be, I put that at the back of my mind for a moment to face the mockery I knew Kael had up his sleeve because the look on his face said a lot of what was coming.
I mistakenly stole a glance at Khemos and with the way he watched me, I almost tripped after I took a wrong step.
My palms were sweaty and I rubbed it gently on my pants as I got closer to the brothers.
"Hi Sabrina." Kael was the first to greet, smile and wave at me.
"Hi Kael." I said back and looked away quickly as the video Lily showed me this morning replayed in my head. I could even see the amusement in his eyes. I was sorry for what had happened but I can't do this in front of the rest of his brothers because it will only get more humiliating.
"Hello Kaleb...Hi." I paused. "Khemos."
"How're you feeling this morning?" Kaleb asked and I swallowed.
Was I expecting him not to know?
"I'm... I'm well."
I noticed Khemos was staring at me but I refused to look in his direction to confirm it. He had blatantly ignored me after I said hi.
"That's good to know. Last night was something else." He said with a light chuckle.
Oh my goodness. When will the ground open up and swallow me?
"Right!" Kael added and laughed again.
The two of them laughing, with their brother staying silent and staring at me like I had stolen something from him was just f*****g insane.
"Kael, I'm so sorry about last night. I can't even recall a single thing that had happened. My roommates were the ones that filled me in on what had happened." I said while wiggling my fingers together as my heartbeat began thumping faster than usual.
"Apology accepted. But it's fine though and I wasn't offended by it because hey, I once had my moment. I get that you aren't so good at handling your alcohol." He said, and that made me feel better.
"Thank you." I said in appreciation.
"So that's it?" Khemos asked and I turned to him, raising a questioning eyebrow.
"Sorry what?"
"You're not going to apologise for puking in my car?" He asked while narrowing his eyes at me.
I glanced at Kael and without even asking him, I knew that had happened.
Oh s**t. Why didn't Lily tell me that?
"Ummm..." I glanced from Kael to Khemos. "I'm sorry about that. My roommates didn't tell me that."
"Okay, but that's none of my concern. Now you know so you must apologise."
Why was he even getting so pissed?
"I have apologised." I said in a low tone with my eyes above his head.
Damn. His ego was just too big and he was also intimidating to look at.
"No, you haven't." He said and I swallowed hard.
What does this guy want from me? Lay on the f*****g floor and kiss his feet?
"I have."
"Are you challenging me, Rina?"
I opened my mouth then closed it. Why is he still calling me Rina?
"Khemos, we all know she apologised. Come on, take it easy on her."
"Kael, she may be your friend but she's not mine so her apology should come out genuine and not nonchalant." He shot back at his brother.
Oh my goodness.
"Okay, I'm sorry." I said slowly trying to sound genuine and not nonchalant as he said because one thing is certain, if I don't bend to his will, I will suffer during training.
"You can't be staring elsewhere and apologising to me. I want you to look me in the eyes and say it. I want to see it in your eyes as well that you mean it."
I took a deep breath and did as he said. His eyes were cold, and lacked warmth but he didn't stare back at me with as much anger as I had imagined in my head.
He looked quite chill and there was something else...he seemed to be enjoying this confrontation.
"I am sorry, Khemos."
"For what?" He asked in a low whisper as he c****d his head to the side gently.
I blinked twice in surprise. Okay, I've got this. "For puking in your car."
"I didn't get that loud enough. Say everything in a full sentence now."
I pumped up my cheeks as I grew annoyed.
"I am sorry Kehmos, for puking in your car."
His lips curved slowly in satisfaction into what was supposed to be a smile, but he doesn't smile.
I can see he was enjoying this.
"Good. Now pray to the moon goddess that before Mr Brown walks in here and we begin our training that I accept that apology."
No, he didn't just say that.
"Why are you staring at me that way? Did I say something wrong? Well, you can get the hell out of my sight and go far away till our coach comes in.”
