Whispers of Deceit

CHAPTER 6

After our class, I stood up and was about to grab my bag when someone spoke from behind.

"Uh, I want to personally introduce myself. Alexander," he offered his hand.

I turned to face him and looked at his outstretched hand. We shook hands. "Aziana," I replied. Then, I turned around, acting like I was about to leave, when someone bumped into me. "Wtf," I exclaimed, looking at the person who bumped into me. It was  Sebbie.

He stopped and said, " You was blocking the way." Then he continued on his way.

Alexander came up to me immediately. "Are you okay, Azi?" His worried expression was evident.

I straightened my clothes and nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. I'll go ahead."

"Uh, can I join you? I don't really know many people here yet." He scratched his head, seeming a bit embarrassed. I nodded, indicating that it's okay for him to join.

We're now in the parking lot, and I headed straight to my car. It turns out his car was parked right beside mine, both gray in color. We were facing each other, and I was about to say something when he beat me to it.

"Wow, is that a Bugatti La Voiture Noire?" he marveled.

I looked at my car and then back at him. "Yes, it's pretty affordable. Yours is probably more expensive."

He glanced at his car and then back at me. "No, yours is still more expensive, haha."

"Uh, okay, Alexander, I'm going now. I still have a lot to do at home," I said, even though I didn't really have any plans.

He smiled. "Alright, goodbye, Azi. See you tomorrow." He waved.

I got into my car and waved back at him through the side mirror. But before I could drive away, I noticed he was talking to Sebbie. They seemed to be having an conversation, and Sebbie looked annoyed. I wondered why. Alexander's expression appeared slightly irritated as well, but maybe I was just imagining things. Well, it doesn't matter.

I sped away in my car and when I reached home, I saw Irish standing in front of my gate with a bag. I already knew what happened with her errand earlier. Annoying.

I told Irish to come inside and parked my car in the parking lot before heading into the living room.

"Oh, Irish? Did you accept my offer earlier?" I asked as I sat down on the sofa, facing her.

"Yeah, I hope it's alright, Aziana. I-I wasn't accepted at Aunt's place," she hesitated in her response.

"Okay, from now on, you'll stay here. I'm alone anyway," I stated.

She was about to hug me, but I stopped her. "Thankyou, Aziana. Are you sure it's okay that I stay here?"

"Yes."
