"He's what!?" I exclaimed.
" A racer". Jake replied. "Why are you surprised?"
"Not that i'm that surprised its just that I don't expect that Nolan can be a racer." I answered.
"He stopped three years ago for some reasons." Jake continued.
"Why does everything about him link with three years ago?" I asked curious to know.
"There are just some storys that are better to remain untold." Jake concluded but I knew that wasn't going to work for me because the more they try to keep it, the more I want to know what happened three years ago. And now that I think about it, why does everything had to change when I entered the country? "Okay". I said after having the long thought. I opened my bag pack to bring out the rule book that Mr. Clark made for Nolan so I know the DOs and DON'Ts for Nolan.
"What are you doing?" Jake asked.
"Oh me?" I replied. "Checking out the rule book for Nolan." I answered.
"Rule book? this is getting interesting, can you read it out please?" He giggled.
"O....... Kay." I replied smiling.
Rule book
1. Nolan is not allowed to drink alcohol.
2. He must attend school every day, if he doesn't want to, he must be forced.
3. He must eat his three square meal everyday and no excuses should be accepted.
4. He must be forced to go out at least once in a week.
5. Each time Nolan goes out, you must accompany him.
"Wait! stop!" Jake exclaimed as he burst out in laughter.
"What?" I asked as I started laughing too.
"Don't tell me you actually believe Nolan is going to follow those rules." He said pointing at the book as he tried to stop his laughter.
"I know he wouldn't want to but i'm paid to force him." I replied.
"Wow, I like your confidence." He smiled. "If you can't even spend a second with him, then tell me how you are going to force him to obey you." Jake said.
"I know how to deal with people like him". I answered giving a smirk.
" Nice. " Jake complimented.
"Oh! before I forget, I need to text my aunt that i'll be coming home late today." I said bringing out my phone.
Me:I'll be home late todaNolan pizza's store remember? I texted.
"Nolan might probably be chilling with some bottles of beer now". Jake said.
"What!?" I ran out from Jake's room.
*** ***** ********
"Goodness!" I exclaimed seeing a drunk Nolan. By now its around 7:45pm.
"What?" He asked annoyed.
"You are asking what? You are drunk Nolan, i'm not even sure you can stand on your own." I sighed and walked towards him to get him on his bed. I tried pulling him but gosh! he's so heavy! "What in the world are you eating? I thought your dad you ain't eating well." I said before realizing its useless talking to a drunk person. I knew I couldn't get him up so I texted Jake to come help me. I waited for him to come and when he came, I asked him to me.
"Sure". He answered.
We pulled him up and dropped him on his bed. Jake moved back while I try to set Nolan on the bed properly, I moved close to him and tried to adjust his head on the pillow when suddenly he vomited on me.
"Ew..." I look angry and disgusted at the same time. I pulled the pillow that was next to him and wanted to beat him with it but what use was it. I closed my eyes trying to calm down when I suddenly hear hear Jake giggle.
"Seriously? You too?" I glared at him as I throw the pillow at him.
"Ouch!" Holding his arm. "I'm not the one who vomited Diana." He complained clearly still trying hard not to laugh again.
"But you laughed!" I frown.
"Yeah because it was funny." He laughed again and I shot him another glare which made him cough and stopped laughing.
"Sorry". He said.
"You better be." I said as I took my gaze off him. "So how am I suppose to clean myself now?" I asked myself as I look at the mess on my body and then at the culprit who is clearly asleep already.
"You can... you know, hmm... maybe... try one of my shirt, its not necessary though, I mean if you don't want to, it's your choice, i'm probably just saying nonsense and........."
"Thank you" I interrupted wondering why I never notice that Jake scammers but its weird though since this is the first I can recall.
"Thank you?" He repeated as his eyes grew wide.
"Yes, so the shirt?" I asked when he stood staring.
"Right". He ran to his room to go get it.
I cleaned up after getting the shirt and then I put it on. It was kinda big bit I didn't have a choice and another thing was that 'I love pizza' was written on it so it easy to lie that it was my uniform. I came out of the bathroom and saw Jake waiting oit side.
"Oh sorry the shirt is too big, i'll go search for a smaller one." He said almost walking out.
"No!" I stopped him. "Its perfect." I gave a fake smile so he will believe and not ruin my plan.
"O... kay". I smiled back.
"So I guess I should start going now, I don't want to get late than this".
"Sure, i'll drop you off." He said.
"Thanks". I smiled not wanting to call Cassie this late.
----------------
He dropped me off at my house and I thanked him once again. I knew I would have to go there early since I still have force Nolan to school tomorrow and I don't want to be late for my classes as well.
I got in and tried to tip-toe to my room not wanting to get caught but I know my aunt will probably be with her laptop in her room and Ethan will still be doing his assignments, good thing I did mine at Nolan's place.
"You are late." I suddenly hear my aunt said as the light went on.
" Huh... Sorry, the customers we're a bit much." I lied.
"And the guy?" My aunt asked.
"What guy?" I look confused.
"The one that just dropped you." She said.
"Oh he's Jake, he is the my boss son at the pizza store, it was late so he offered to drop me." I lied again.
"That's nice of him." My aunt commented.
"Yeah.... that nice of him." I repeated nodding. "I should head to my room, good night." I said climbing the stairs.
"Wait". My aunt said. I stopped and turn around to face her. "Your shirt?" She asked pointing to the shirt on me.
"Oh this? Its our uniform." I lied again for the third time.
"It kind of big." She complain scrolling me with her eyes.
" Yeah, I noticed too, it good anyways. Good night!" I shouted as I dismissed myself this running.
"Good night." I heard her say as I closed my door shut.
