Recap:
The car stopped by my side, and the tinted glass was up. It rolled down, in a while.
"Hey."
Recent:
My breathing stopped. I could barely feel my heart-beat. Guess who was that? THE MYSTERIOUS GUY.
Anyways, I won't be dumb in front of a guy with whom I'll talk for the first time, so yeah...
"Hi." I finally managed to say.
He smirked. Oh, the smirk. Breathe Mel, breathe.
I took a deep breath and gathered my confidence, as I realized that he is 'just' a random guy from school.
"What?" I said sternly, raising an eyebrow.
"Well umm... hi?" he stammered.
What the hell?
"If you'll excuse me, I got to pick my brother up. So, bye." I finished.
"Yeah, sure. Bye." He said, pulling back the smirk on.
I gave him a small smile and skated towards Jason's school.
After a while, someone honked behind me, again. Ugh.
I stopped. The car beside me and the windows rolled down. This time, it was Devan.
"Oh, you? Hey." I said.
"Were you expecting somebody else?" Devan asked.
"No" I said, "umm, the canteen guy talked to me." I finished.
"Oh okay. You could rather sit in my car and tell me the story. Could you?" Devan asked hopefully.
"There's no story, you know?" I said.
"So, is there something you want me to know?" he asked.
"Devan? Stop. He just said 'hi' twice and nothing else." I replied and giggled, seeing the concern.
"Okay, so come on, I'll drop you." He said.
I sat in the passenger seat and we were off.
"Do you like dogs?" Devan questioned.
"I am not an animal person. So, no. I don't like dogs." I replied, showing him the directions to Jason's school, at the same time.
"Oh!" he said.
I asked "and you?"
He said with a bright smile "I had a cat, and I loved it so much that, I gifted it to my aunt."
"So you are not an animal person too?" I smiled at his answer.
"Yeah," he said, "how far?" he continued.
"5 more minutes" I assured, as he stopped in one of the signals.
"You said the same thing five minutes ago too," he screeched.
"Five minutes ago, I told you to shut up and drive," I assured.
