"I am telling you, Joshua will never do that again," I told Ian.
"That is not the point," he shot back.
"Why was he so close to you anyway? Do you not remember that he was the one who voted against us leaving the north and the academy? Why is he the one getting kisses while you are angry with me because I am the son of the headmaster?" His voice rose, and the tension in it intensified.
"How is it fair that you forgave him so easily, but you were furious with me to the point that you did not even want to speak with me?" he continued.
"Because I had expectations from you!" I yelled back, and he stared at me without blinking.
"That does not explain anything," he answered.
"So the one you have expectations from gets no advantage, not even a minute to speak with you? Should I expect you to expect nothing from me so that I could at least get a kiss from you?"
His words cut deeper than a stab.
"Ian," I tried to speak, but I knew his anger had no limit.
