"Marcelo?" Acrina said surprised to see t go to see the new boy.
"If you don't mind, can I go with you to the bus stop?" Marcelo asked politely.
"No can do. My girlfriend and I aren't taking the school bus." Elliot chopped in feeling agitated at the boy who stood in front of them right now.
"We do?" Acrina asked surprised because truthfully they were going to the bus stop where the school bus will take them home.
"Yes bae. Let's go." Elliot said and pulled her along with him. Before they could leave, Marcelo stopped them saying.
"Uhm can I at least then escort you outside the school?"
"Why do you think we need an escort?" Elliot asked sharply.
"I wasn't asking you. I was talking to Rina." Marcelo replied.
"Acrina. That's her name, so stop calling her Rina." Elliot said.
"Why not? I'm used to calling people by the short form of their names, so I hope you don't have a problem with it even she does not mind. Right Rina?" Marcelo said.
"Uhm, no anyone can call me Rina." Acrina said.
"See, so are you guys still going to the bus stop?" Marcelo asked. Acrina looked at Elliot for an answer and he nodded yes reluctantly.
"Great! So I can-"
"You can escort her. As for me, I'm leaving." Elliot said and left.
"Your boyfriend is strange." Marcelo said.
"Let's go?" Acrina asked.
"Hmm, let's go." Marcelo replied and they both left.
