Milly wrinkled her forehead, prepared to refuse, when a sizable hand abruptly intercepted her, seizing the
thermos before her.
“No need. Milly isn’t into this type of unhealthy snack, remarked Anthony with a dark expression.
Freshly arriving at the school, he was called to the office by the instructor, leaving Milly to navigate her way to the classroom alone.
He never imagined that a mere five minutes after he left, someone would have the audacity to challenge
his sister.
Even more aggravating was the fact that the athlete standing before him, who had a prior disagreement with his sister the day before, was now being overly solicitous. It had to be because Milly had caught his attention during her visit to the grove yesterday.
The thought of someone having feelings for his sister caused his expression to darken immediately.
As he looked at the athlete in front of him, he couldn’t help but see him as a non–mainstream kid with dyed yellow hair, wearing loafers.
Ken, startled by the unexpected arrival of Anthony, erupted, demanding sternly, “Identify yourself, and what gives you the privilege to speak here? And regarding Milly, who do you think you are? Do you reckon I’ll pummelled you into the ground
As he spoke, he intercepted another cautionary gaze from Milly and recalled her directive not to engage in a fight. Swiftly altering his tone, he asserted, “Do you believe? I’ll report you to the teacher!”
His delivery was so commanding that an uninformed observer might confuse him for the teacher.
Anthony gave him a chilly glare. “She’s my younger sister, and I’m the sixth member of the Burnetts. How dare you address me in such a manner?”
Ken was surprised.
The sixth in the Burnetts? Wasn’t that Milly’s brother? Did I just spout off in front of Milly’s brother?
Hold on a second. Something doesn’t add up.
He remembered that Milly’s sixth brother, the person who called Anthony and played basketball with him. yesterday, bore no resemblance to this person.
Haha! He is lying!
Ken regained his composure and countered, cocking his head, “Quit with the lies. I’ve laid eyes on Milly’s sixth brother before, and he’s far more dashing than you. Who do you think you are, masquerading as. Milly’s brother? Take a good look at yourself!*
The disclosure left everyone speechless.
Anthony couldn’t trust his eyes as he gazed at Milly, sensing betrayal. “So that’s why you didn’t speak to me in the car this morning. Do you have someone else on the side?”

She hadn’t spoken in the morning because she was asleep. What nonsense is there about having someone
clsc?
She rubbed her forehead in frustration. “I’ve been with you all day, buried in books. When would I even have the chance to look for someone else?”
And even if she had the inclination, it’s not like there would be any takers.
Anthony carefully reflected and recognised that lately, he had been constantly by her side and hadn’t witnessed her growing close to anyone else.
A sense of relief washed over him.
Just then, Ken, positioned in front, caught sight of something and eagerly raised his hand, beckoning and flashing a bright smile behind them. “Anthony, over here!”
This time, not only Anthony was taken aback, but even Milly was astonished.
Could it be that there are truly others sharing the same name in this school?
Intrigued, the two spun around, only to find William’s gaze fixed upon them as he indulged in a bun…
William, caught off guard by their stares, forgot to chew the bun in his mouth, swallowing it whole. He choked, his eyes rolling in distress,
Ken, positioned nearby, swiftly retrieved the thermos Anthony had taken, unscrewed the lid, poured a comforting bowl of soup, and presented it to William with a smile. “Anthony, enjoy some soup.”
William didn’t quite catch his words, but the sight of water felt like a beacon of hope. He seized it eagerly, gulping down half a cup before finally catching his breath.
“Thanks. Bro.
When he realised who was offering him the soup, he recoiled in fear, pointing at the person with a trembling hand. “You… it’s you. Are you trying to drug me?”
He stood on the brink of rubbing his throat raw.
Only a day ago, he had burst Ken’s basketball, and now he was presenting him with soup. There must be a hidden agenda..
Ken was still revelling in the delight of being addressed as “bro” by Milly’s brother. As he noticed the doubt in William’s gaze, he vigorously shook his head. “No, no, why would I ever intoxicate you? You are my angel’s brother!
“Yesterday, a miscommunication occurred. I was unaware of your enthusiasm for bursting basketballs. We have an abundance of basketballs available. If you wish, I can bring them all tomorrow for you to enjoy popping as much as you desire.
William remained silent.
Could this person possibly be craty?
Observing this, Anthony and Milly finally comprehended the situation.

Anthony scowled, feeling too disinterested to witness their dispute. “Enough. Let’s go, Milly. Pay no heed to them. Let’s proceed to class.”
He grasped Milly’s wrist firmly and began moving towards the classroom.
However, before he could advance, he was abruptly pulled back and thrust against the adjacent wall.
His body collided with the wall, creating a mulled thud.
Ken gritted his teeth, clutching Anthony’s shirt firmly, his eyes glaring with a cautionary glare. “Who granted you permission to touch her? Did you believe I was jesting when I cautioned you before?”
Caught off balance, Anthony was pressed against the wall by Ken, his head reeling. “Release me!”
Ken clenched his teeth, adamant about maintaining his hold on Anthony’s collar.
As Milly comprehended the scene, her complexion drained of colour. Hastening forward, she promptly intervened, swatting Ken’s hand away from Anthony and offering him assistance. “Are you alright? Did you injure your head?”
Anthony experienced a brief moment of disorientation but swiftly composed himself, signalling to Milly not to fret. “I’m alright.”
However, Milly persisted in her concern, proposing they visit the infirmary. “Come on, let’s go get you checked out
With a comforting smile, Anthony declined. “It’s okay, just a bump on the back, not my head.”
Observing his insistence, Milly acquiesced.
She pivoted to confront Ken. Her voice was frosty. “As a student at Crestwood High, you are expected to abide by the school’s regulations. I am neither your teacher nor your parent, so naturally, I cannot control you. However, if you dare to provoke anyone around me again, I won’t hesitate to employ my methods to teach you a lesson.”
Ken recoiled under her chilling stare, recognising he had provoked Milly.
A shiver coursed down his spine, his lips trembling as he stammered, “I apologise. I was just frustrated earlier. I won’t repeat it again.”
Raised in privilege since childhood, Ken had seldom encountered repercussions for his behaviour. Teachers at school often overlooked his transgressions because of his status, fostering his short temper and propensity for aggression.
This marked his first apology-
This is also the first time he has experienced genuine fear.
Observing Milly stride past him towards the classroom, Ken hesitated, uncertain whether to call her or maintain silence.
