My Meek Desk Mate Is the Secret School Tyrant Chapter 07

I was too nervous. Before, it was just the class. Now it was the whole school.

Just walking beside Orion, I felt eyes boring into us from every direction. Could they tell I was about to bully

him? My palms were sweating. I kept taking deep breaths.

“Alright. You can start now.”

Orion’s voice was right at my ear, sudden and low. I jolted.

We’d already reached the gate.

His eyes curved. He was smiling at me. “Want me to hold your bag so you can really put your back into it?”

The sunset was behind him. Warm gold light haloed his frame, sharpened every line of his face.

The evening breeze lifted the hair from his forehead. His eyes were soft. The whole world stilled.

I stared. My heart skipped for absolutely no reason.

Orion nodded at me, a tiny gesture. Do it.

I let out a long breath. Raised my hand. Shut my eyes.

Put everything I had into one palm strike to his shoulder.

A sharp crack.

Everything went silent.

The sound was too crisp. The impact felt wrong.

I opened my eyes.

Orion’s face was turned to the side. He was bent slightly forward.

Red marks were spreading across his cheek.
