Mr Popular and The Assassin

Chapter 12

R I O N A

That boy is an idiot!

How dare he lay his hands on me?!

"Rie! Thank God you came out, you were very quick to text me that you'd be right outside once the bell goes off but you then you didn't! I even heard your last class was cancelled so I hurried out so you wouldn't wait." Thalia explained as soon as I came close to her.

" I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I apologized wholeheartedly.

I unlocked the car and we both got in after which Thalia used her seatbelt.

"It's okay, what kept you? Did teachers ask you to do something?" She questioned.

" No, I just had to deal with a certain issue." I vaguely told her.

She frowned and narrowed her eyes. " Don't tell me you beat up someone?"

"What? No!"

" Alright then. Let's go get the girls." She ordered while she typed on her phone.

Wait.

I put the key in the ignition then paused. I brought out my phone and scrolled through my contacts and selected Leonardo's name.

"What are you doing?" Thalia asked and eyed me suspiciously when she saw me struggling to type.

"I..um.. sending a text." I kept my gaze on my phone screen to avoid looking her in the eye.

Her suspicious gaze get even more suspicious as she raised her brows and wore an amused smile.

"Who you texting huh?" Thalia wore a mischievous smirk while raising her eyebrows every second.

"Stop." I clearly told her.

Thalia went quiet while casually trying to stretch her neck to see what I was typing. I just typed a quick message to Leonardo, telling him who I was and also my home address.

I picked up the girls from school and we all joyfully went home. When we got home we all went into our rooms and took a shower. I put on an oversized blue shirt and wore shorts under. My black hair was in it's usual ponytail while I dropped my glasses on the counter in the kitchen.

"Rie is wearing shorts!" Cassidy announced to the whole house like it was an achievement.

" Yikes! You're wearing shorts?" Thalia eyed me suspiciously. "Rie has been acting weird since we were at school and now she's wearing shorts."

I guess I understand why they are surprised, for almost two years since my dad has been in the hospital, I've always only worn over sized shirts at home wearing nothing under except my panties.

" Someone from school is coming over." I announced and everyone point blank stared at me with wide eyes and mouths slightly opened.

"What?!" I rolled my eyes.

"Who is coming over?"

"Did you make a new friend?"

"When does she get here?"

Thalia suddenly gasped, "We didn't cook anything!"

"That's not needed." I say to them but I feel like they didn't hear me because they went on talking like I didn't say anything.

"We can order pizza." Cassidy replied.

"But we don't know we she'd like?!"

"We should order a chicken special! Everyone loves it!"
