His back facing me makes my heart race but how much more if he suddenly turns and sees me probably having an embarrassing red face?

I can't make another step or he will notice my presence. To my surprise, he turns and gives me his grumpy face. I think I know what makes him make such a face.

He hates waiting. Boys like him are always in a hurry. Finally, I'm learning from Chocho.

"Thought you won't come out anymore," he speaks differently unlike before. He is calmer and the way he speaks looks so manly. I can say that he has matured a little. I can't help but chuckle in my head.

"So, what if I didn't come out?" I reply with my usual self to him I don't want to leak any nervousness in my voice or he will tease me about it.

"I'll drag you out of there then," he is serious when he utters it and it startles me.

"What? You just made a scene there with my boss don't make it any more embarrassing!" I slightly raise my voice.

"Enough with the talking or we will be home late," he says and grabs my hand.

"Wait, don't be so hasty!" I shout at him but he seems not to care. He drags me to nowhere. I hope he doesn't think of anything foolish this time.

"Wait a minute! Hey! Where are we going?" I ask but he doesn't respond. Is he deaf or something? Perhaps he doesn't want to answer me.

Suddenly, he stops in front of a guy. It looks like we're in the same age. I guess he is wearing his working uniform because it's completely different from a school uniform. We stopped at a cafe in particular.

"Is that your bike?" he asks the innocent-looking guy. The guy was like parking his bike outside the cafe. I don't think they know each other. This guy he just asked makes an odd face.

"Yeah," the guy hesitates and seems suspicious of him. "Until when is your shift though?" he asks him again.

"Huh?" he is confused about his strange questions. The guy even switches his gaze from him to me and vice-versa. "Who are you and why are you asking me about my bike and my shift?" he sounds irritated. I don't have a clue as to what is going on right now.

I am about to pull him away but he acts before I can do it. "I need an answer it's urgent," he is being himself again. His ambiance becomes intimidating the guy even makes such a shocked face.

"I'm here until 9 p.m. But, what do you want from me?" he asks in a suppressed mad tone.

"Can I borrow your bike for like an hour?" he asks him and I'm like constantly blinking my eyes because I don't know what's on his mind.

"What? Are you kidding me? Why would I let you borrow it? What if you won't return my bike to me?" his anger shows. The jerk pulls out something from his pocket. It's his if I'm not mistaken his school identification card.

"Here's my school card you can have it in exchange for your bike," what is he trying to do? "I told you it's an urgent matter I need your bike," he adds and the guy is perplexed.

The guy startles upon seeing the card. "You are..." he mutters in disbelief. "Kawaki from Grà!" he exclaims. I can't believe he is popular everywhere.

"Will you let me borrow your bike now?" the negotiation is still on.

"Okay, I think you need it so, please come back before my shift is over," he tells him. "It's like 6 p.m. I will return it by 7 don't worry," he guarantees him. The guy keeps his card and he let him have his bike.
