"Hey, you're with him? I thought you were busy?" Callie asked Scarlett as she placed her bag on the seat.

"Why? You don’t want to see me here?"

Callie huffed a breath. "I didn’t say that. You did."

Scarlett smiled at her through the rearview mirror. "How was your day?"

"The worst day ever. I’ve got a serious problem—it's so big that I don’t even know if you guys can fix it." Callie took a deep breath. "What is it?" Chris asked as he started to drive away.

"I don’t know. It’s just... I have no idea if you guys can fix it. Will you—"

Scarlett interrupted, "You made a scene, didn’t you?"

"Damn! I didn’t even have the time to explain my side and then you ask me that question?"

"Hey, watch your mouth." Chris reminded her, and the girl rolled her eyes. "You guys made a scene, you know that? Everyone's been talking about it for the past few days... which I wouldn’t have known if the students hadn’t asked me those stupid questions."

The two furrowed their eyebrows. "Wait," Scarlett signaled a stop with her left hand. "What do you mean the 'students are talking about it'?" She then faced the girl in the backseat, who was clearly pissed and irritated.

"I don’t want this life. I don’t like seeing cameras everywhere." Callie complained. "Oh God! People were suspecting me of being your girlfriend at first! And now they think I’m your daughter!"

Chris laughed and shook his head. "Because you really are my daughter, you’re my bub, right?" The girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

Why the hell do they not seem affected? Do they really think I’m lying?

Scarlett felt her heart racing as if it were going to burst from her ribcage. She felt like the air was running out of her body and was slowly suffocating her. This was the thing she had feared. She didn’t want people to know her biggest secret. Not that she didn’t like it, but it wasn’t the right time for it to be revealed.

"Are you guys absentminded? You seem so unbothered by this."

"I haven’t seen any of that. How did it come out so fast? Those people are really—" Chris was cut off when he heard Scarlett’s worried and irritated voice.

"Chris, we have to deal with this thoroughly. This is the moment I always wished the visible stars wouldn’t happen. And now, we’re screwed."

Chris narrowed his eyes at Scarlett. "What’s wrong with it? As long as we don’t confirm it, there’s nothing to worry about. Why? Are you scared?"

"Them taking pictures of us, no! But them asking us if it’s true is a big problem! What are we going to say? Tell them Rhislett’s my niece and your goddaughter?"

Callie chuckled. "Would they even believe that? It’s all spread out now. People at my school are chit-chatting, and you guys are the headliners of articles now. My pictures are all over social media. Of course, you wouldn’t see it because you don’t have any."
