"So you didn't come here by choice?" he asked, and I shook my head. I also started laughing.
"I guess it sounds weird that I think spending time with Haiden is a punishment, but trust me, the headmaster just wanted to punish me for using the phone booth," I added, and his frown started to reappear again.
That's when a little knock on the door started to bother us.
