BEING nice wasn’t really something she was used to, hell, no one ever asked for her niceness, devan allowed her to be mean to him since they met when they weren’t tiny, but she also allowed him to express himself and even looked out for him when he needed her. so to her, it was fair. “i have always been the smartest of us,” she rolled her eyes even though a small smile poked through. “you know it physically pains me to agree with you, but sadly, i have to, just this once, to agree that your stupidity might be right,” cecilia never understood why he ever got excited when she agreed with him, maybe it was the rarity of it or he just enjoyed being right, she would never know. “maybe but i swear don’t do stupid shit for an answer you might not like,” she didn’t know who stole the book, it would have been nice if she did, that way she could end devan’s assumptions. but his reasoning for pointing out ariella, wasn’t the worst thing she heard but if she agreed with him, again, she would be losing her mind. “or maybe you’re too into the idea of revenge that you’re missing the bigger picture, wouldn’t it be easy to pin it on the girl whose is personally attached and not someone who probably has absolutely nothing to do with it? you get off scotch free and everyone points fingers at the wrong person,” at least, that what she would do. but she sighed, before resting her hands on his shoulders as she looked into his eyes, “i didn’t misread you, i doubt i misread her.”
he knew that the girl came with natural r u d e n e s s, it was just who she was. she didn’t a l l o w herself to be nice to people who don’t d e s e r v e it and he u n d e r s t a n d s why. but he wasn’t scared to call her out on b u l l s h i t when he needed to. that was how it worked, they were basically each other’s r o c k s. “i only let you believe that you’re the s m a r t e s t.” he teases her while shaking his head. “now.. was that so d a m n hard to admit? my instincts are r i g h t about this, i’m sure of it.” he nods, sending her a s m a l l smile. “what s t u p i d shit are you talking about?” devan asks rising an eyebrow. “but i s n ‘ t that what they’re doing to the vks?” he points out giving her another look before sighing softly. he knew that the girl was probably right. he just wasn’t s u r e who took the book and wanted someone to b l a m e. “fine... if you say she’s i n n o c e n t then i won’t go p e s t e r her about it.”
