Luke said quietly, nodding towards Mrs Abbot.I glared at him for a moment, before nodded shortly, and examining the blackboard for instructions.I thought I heard him huff in frustration beside me.With a sigh, I yanked my textbook from my rucksack and started reading the required chapters.?Have we met before??
