Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: 365-They Want Revenge?

Helanie:

She had fallen asleep, and I had gotten under my blanket to pretend to be sleeping when Lamar arrived.

He called my name in whispered a few times to check on me, but I pretended to be asleep too.

We had our first day at the academy in the morning, and we got the notification that it was going to be a running record. It’s a kind of class where the trainers make groups and then hold these matches where they want their team members to cover more miles before the others.

I wanted to have good energy for the first class. The combat classes were coming up, and these were now physical exercises. I really wanted to do well and focus on my revenge now.

I woke up still upset because I couldn’t get over Lucy’s words.

"Morning!" Lamar said as he got ready in the red tracksuit. By the time I had come out of the bathroom, Lucy had already left for class.

"Morning," I gave him a faint smile, trying to keep the energy positive.

"Don’t be upset. She will come around. Let her go mess around with Sydney and find out for herself. She’s in that phase where after a breakup, someone tries hard to be in a cool gang. But she’s not made for that gang, and I’m sure she’ll realize it sooner." Lamar didn’t know the extent of the disappointment Lucy had shown toward me last night, so he wouldn’t understand for now. However, I gave him a head nod as if I agreed with him and decided to get ready instead.

We all had our red tracksuits on as we walked out of the academy to meet the brothers. It felt so odd to be back attending classes. Honestly, I loved this academy now.

Jenny and Penn stood together. Gavin wanted to stand separately, but Lamar pulled him closer to us. He kept checking our faces to see if we were allowing him to stand next to us. I had no problem with him standing with us, but I had a problem with Lucy standing next to Sydney and snickering just like how the mean girls used to do before.

In fact, Lucy had replaced Salem. And that shocked me. Sydney was avoiding her own sister, but she would also make sure her sister didn’t go away from her and befriend someone else.

I was worried for Lucy. Sydney was not a good influence.

"Morning, everyone!" Maximus arrived in a stunning black shirt, causing my heart to skip a beat. I now knew why my emotions had been so strong toward him. We were mates, and although it could change everything for Kaye—claiming I used his brother to get back at him—it also didn’t change much. Maximus played me.

He avoided looking my way, just like he had never known me, and stood before the students.

Since Sydney and I were the class monitors, we were standing right in the front. Yet Maximus was looking at Sydney but not at me.

"Hello, everyone, welcome back!" Out came Kaye from his black Mercedes, wearing black just like his brother.

Kaye and Maximus passed each other a smile, looking happy and in good moods.

"I’m sure you all got our message and know what today’s lesson is about. My brothers will arrive shortly, so how about we warm up a little before they get here?" Kaye stood tall, clapping his hands once in front of his body and then behind, continuing to do that excitedly.
