As if squeezing her eyes shut would keep the image of the young guy getting a good beat up from one of her dad’s men out of her head. Casey knew that things like that always happen inside the Wright's abode but it was the first time that she witnessed it with her own two eyes. She just stood there, glued on the tiled floor while blood trickled on the guy's cheek. She had done nothing. And the guilt crept on her like a slut crawls on someone's bed at night. If she could have just pushed the door open, maybe the guy would have been rushed to the emergency room, but before she could even take a step forward, her mother's hand covered her mouth and that was it, she was sent back to the academy a day earlier than the rest of the other students. That's why she was sitting on the back seat of the car while the driver in front was looking at her weirdly, catching a glimpse of her face on the window, bags were under her eyes, lips were pale, she didn't get to sleep well last night, she was scared on what had become of that guy. "Just send the bags into my room," She told the driver in a soft voice as she stepped out of the car, letting the hot breeze mess with her long tresses. She made plans with Max, they were meeting for lunch ten minutes ago, and she was late. Taking rather large steps, she walked towards the dining hall where she was meeting him in their usual table, things between her and Max were great but the two knows better than tell everyone about their relationship so they kept on pretending that they are just friends. "I'm sorry I'm late, it's such a mistake to let the President's son wait." She was just teasing him, trying to a bit cheerful and hide her true emotions from Max.
