INCESSANT CALLS HAD DRAINED MAVERICK’S phone battery. he didn’t exactly feel like talking, anyway—especially not after he’d done a mental roll call on the other students who were forced to stick around. even worse, the crowd he would rely on to blend into was now gone. he felt naked, under the MICROSCOPE again. he should have been used to it by now, given his parents’ pressures, even if he didn’t have anything to hide, he still felt his heart sink deep into his chest.
maverick is reluctant to reach out to his siblings—as per usual. a strained relationship with his own last name causes the middle braxton to distance himself where he can, but he’s found gravitating toward his brother in the dining hall anyway. it’s a damned talent, dick has. it’s another thing he could choose to hate his brother for, yet resentment isn’t quite the word. “ you hear from mom and dad yet? ” he asks simply.
