CHAPTER 3: HIS KINDNESS

Ariana

After lunch, Justin immediately told me that he'll take me back home. I answered nothing and just followed him. I bid goodbye to Mitchell and Liam before walking off with Justin. He opened the door for me and mouthed him 'Thanks.' He just smiled and got into the driver's seat immediately. He drove the car all the way to my home. On my way, I couldn't stop thinking about that guy. AGAIN. I rolled my eyes and closed it. I leaned on the seat. Oh God. Why am I thinking like this?

"ARGH!" I grumbled in disbelief. That caught the attention of Justin. I just gave a 'peace' sign to him and mouthed "Don't worry. I'm okay." He just smiled back. I don't know if it's a smile that is genuine or a smile that is trying to hide something.

After about an hour, we finally made it to our house. I got out of the car, putting some loose strands of hair behind my ear. Justin got out too. I kissed him on the cheek and waved goodbye to him.

As soon as I entered the door, I gave Frankie a kiss on the cheek and my mom too. I guess dad's still on his work until now. I immediately ran upstairs to change my clothes. After that, I fixed myself in front of the mirror. I don't know why I'm acting like this lately. I knew that I'm not really minding myself about how I look. A little bit of make-ups, messed bun, etc. are okay for me. But now, what am I doing?

I dropped into my bed, still thinking about the night when I saw him. I closed my eyes and still, that golden, tinted, hazel eyes kept on haunting me. I screamed, not knowing that my brother and mum was there downstairs.

"ARI! ARE YOU OKAY?" I barely hear. It's really muffled.

"YEAH! DON'T WORRY!" I shouted back. I let out a deep sigh after I got up from bed. I decided to take a shower, so I did. After the shower, I took my phone and checked my Facebook account. I saw that Mitchell's online so I sent her a message.

Ariana Grande: Hi Mitch!

After a few seconds, she immediately replied.

Mitchell Andrews: Hey Ari! 'Sup?

Ariana Grande: Well uhm... here in front of my phone. Chitchatting with you.

Mitchell Andrews: Duh. Of course I knew that. So, what made you send me a message? J

Ariana Grande: You know what? I've been thinking...

Mitchell Andrews: Thinking 'bout... what? Oh c'mon! Don't tell me you're thinking 'bout that 'oh-so-lovely-golden-tinted-hazel-eyes' stranger that you met?"

I laughed when I saw this from her. Well Mitch, you're partially right about that. But I've got something on my mind.

Mitchell Andrews: Oh c'mon! Don't wait me for too long!

Ariana Grande: A little impatient there, Mitch. Hahaha! You're partially right. Haha! But you know what? I've been thinking...

Mitchell Andrews: Oh c'mon! You're being redundant!

Ariana Grande: Okay. So here it is! I've been thinking... What if you'll join my quest?

Mitchell Andrews: What quest? Don't tell me - ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Ariana Grande: Yes.

Mitchell Andrews: No way!

Ariana Grande: YES WAY! Well, only if you just liked my idea... 

It took her so long to answer. I just peeked outside my room's window, waiting for the beep from my phone. It's nearly 1 pm so it's a little bit warm. After about five minutes, I heard a beep which caused me so much of excitement. I tripped over my pillow on the floor. Good thing that I still managed to get up and picked my phone. As soon as I saw the message, my eyes widened and I suddenly jumped up and down on my bed. I was covering my mouth with the pillow so that I can scream all I want, without disturbing Frankie and mom downstairs. I settled down after a few seconds, wiping the tears that formed in my two eyes. Goodness, I'm so dramatic.
