I swallowed the hard lump that formed in my throat, and along with everyone else in the cafeteria, silently watched Carson as he stalked towards our table.

His jaw was visibly clenched and his shoulders were back, making him look taller. Glancing to the side, Reece had his eyes narrowed as he stared Carson down. And for a moment, I swear I saw his brown eyes flash a brighter color.

I blinked a few times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. After all, I could be attending a school with possible supernaturals. Reece's eyes were still the same light, brown color.

I looked back behind me worriedly at Rowan and Zaylee. Both of them had shocked expressions. Except Zaylee's was more awestruck than shock. I don't understand what could possibly be so fascinating.

The cafeteria was dead quiet, no one dare breathe a word. Someone could drop a pin and it wouldn't make a sound. Carson's shoes were the only thing that made a small clicking sound as they hit the tile floor.

He stood tall as he came within a few inches of our table. His muscles were tense and his arms were folded across his chest. He stopped right in front of where Reece and I were sitting.

I looked back over at Reece who slowly stood up, facing Carson directly. The tension was beginning to fog up the room, making it hard to see anything. Oh boy, this was bad.

I noticed that Reece probably stood an inch shorter than Carson. Both of them holding stern looks, still managing to look devilishly handsome. Now is not the time to be thinking of that.

"Oh, joy..." Rowan mumbled behind me.

She bit into one of her fries, it made a slight crunching sound. She rolled her brown eyes and I gave her a puzzled look. Her reaction confusing me.

"The battle of the princes is about to begin." She sighed, sounding extremely bored.

It sounded like she knew what was going to happen as if it had happened before. I raised one of my eyebrows at her. Battle of princes? What does that even mean? Is she talking about Carson and Reece?

A low growl disrupted my thoughts and sliced through the silence. I turned my attention back to the two males who each looked prepared to fight. Both of them were growling at each other, jaws clenched and fists made. It made want to crawl into a little ball.

They both were stiff and looked about ready to kill. Carson's eyes were narrowed and Reece was smirking which seemed to piss Carson off even more. Oh gosh. This was bad.

I looked around, but nobody moved in to stop them. Even Rowan and Zaylee stayed still. It seemed to be a regular occurrence, which would explain the calm atmosphere. My eyes roamed across the cafeteria and I spotted a familiar blonde head.

Guess who? It was Waverly, she was sitting at a table filled with multiple beautiful girls, all wearing a bit too much make-up. She especially was watching the standoff between Reece and Carson with an awestruck look.

What is wrong with this girl? Wasn't she supposed to be dating Reece? She's looking at Carson as if he was a pair of designer heels.

She flicked her gaze to me, catching my stare, and gave me a hard glare. Which instantly caused me to turn my attention away in, fear shivering down my spine. I really don't want to be on her bad side.

Too late for that.

In a quick movement, Carson and Reece lunged for each other. Carson managed to slip under Reece's fist and grip his throat, pulling him to the ground.
