"Alright." Zane sounded as he began walking forward. "Alright."
Hayden was still holding his nose in pain as he cursed silently. "Fucking hell."
Nikki rolled her eyes walked away and Perri patted her lightly on the shoulder while giving Hayden a sympathetic look. I looked at Hayden with my face contorted, still recovering from that horrific sound his nose made. "Are you okay?"
"He's fine." Zane came up to Hayden and patted him on the shoulder. Hayden glared at him while he examined his nose. "Look at that, you're already healing. Shake it off, big fella."
Hayden moved his hand from his face and surprisingly he was already healing. "Are we all calm now, Nikki?" Zane asked sarcastically.
Nikki folded her arms across her chest. "I'm not apologizing."
"Didn't expect you to." Zane answered. He patted Hayden's shoulder again and we all began walking towards the center. "Bring it in, guys."
We all circled in the battling center, although everyone isn't here yet. Perri offered me a smile as a greeting and I couldn't help but smile back. I'm pretty sure Perri's white teeth sparkled dramatically every time he smiled. Or, maybe it was just me being dramatic.
I couldn't help but notice how Armani stared at Hayden. Her face was blank but her eyes looked wild. I couldn't tell if she wanted to go off or if she wanted to cry. Hayden looked back at her with a neutral yet soft expression- like he wanted to spill out a thousand words.
For the second time today, I was once again taken off guard when Armani frowned almost sadly and swung her arm forward. Hayden groaned and hunched over when a small arrow lodged into his shoulder.
As much as he deserved it, I was starting to feel a little bad for Hayden. I didn't completely hate him but he's getting everything that's coming to him.
She released a breath and held her head. "I'm sorry, i'm sorry." Armani shook her head. "I couldn't help it. He was just standing there-and...."
"Mani." Zane said simply.
"You don't know how frustrated and angry I am right now-" It's like she was ranting and and to be fair, Mani could be a little melodramatic when she got in her head. "You know what-"
She stopped pacing and outstretched her arm. Hayden straightened back up a little looking at her probingly. "I should not be apologizing to you- alright. I have a right to be upset-"
"Mani." Zane started again.
"You do, you have every right to be upset." Hayden told her, breathing a little heavy.
