Byran was seething, but had no comeback.
Ellinor happened to plop down right where Byran was doing his homework, so she casually flipped through his workbook on his desk, "You can't even finish your own assignments and even had someone else do it for you. And yet, you still have time to poke your nose into other people's business?"
Byran got anxious and embarrassed when he saw her looking at his work. He barked, "Put that down! Don't touch my stuff! Mind your own business!"
Ellinor put his work down and lightly tapped on the desk, "I'm not meddling, I'm an outsider, and I don't have the right to."
Byran let out a smug chuckle, "Glad you know!"
Ellinor's tone was flat, "But I could tell Balfour what I saw, and let him sort you out."
Byran tensed up instantly, "You wouldn't dare!"
Ellinor gave a tiny smile, "Scared I might spill the beans about you getting someone else to do your homework?"
Byran stared at her unhappily, "No shit! You're just stirring the pot."
Ellinor smiled faintly; her eyes turned serious, and she tapped the desk again, "Then erase it and start over!"
Byran looked defiant, "I don't need you butting in! You're a flake yourself; what right do you have to tell me what to do?”
