Burnt

Ep.8

Valerie O'driscoll
...............................

I've been waiting here for the pass ten minutes for Lucas. He said we'd use his car to my house. I was getting nervous by every passing second, which is not helping. If he didn't show up any time soon, I'll run off. Sounds child-ish but goodness help me.

My eyes watched as the school started getting empty by the minutes that passed. Soon enough, the school grounds where so empty it spooked me out. I sighed, fiddling with my school bag. Looking from left to right.

I spotted two boys rambling to themselves at the far corner near the entrance of the school. I sighed, my head rising as I gazed at the cloudy gray sky. It looked like it's going to start raining any time soon. I wasn't sure if I was willing to stand here any longer, my feet started to hurt.

Looking down at my watch, I took note that I've been waiting out here for a full on hour. Swallowing, I desperately looked around. Praying that this was not a prank.

What if he forgot and left me? That would make more sense. Sighing, I called quites and turned to start my walk home. Screw him for making me wait so long for him only to abandon me.

"Valerie?" I stopped, sharply turning around to find Lucas waving me over to him. Wide eyes and all, I quickly rushed up to him.

Walking silently behind him as he led me to where cars where usually parked. The school parking lot, although now there was about only two parked front. A black fucking Lamborghini and a red Ferrari.

My eyes widens when he led me to the Lamborghini, a beautiful chirp sound spreading a grin on my face. Wow, this car is beautiful. I was practically drooling over a car.

I wasn't all gugu-gaga about cars but this one made me go gugu-gaga, this must have been expensive.

Lucas opens the car door for me, I watched in 'awe' as the car doors were lifted up instead of how cars usually open. My eyes wide and mouth slightly open.

"Get in, Valerie." Lucas raised a teasing brow my way, winking right after words. I scowled at his flirty gestures, before carefully getting inside so I don't flash him my boney ass due to this short-shorts I wore today along with my oversized green hoodie.

His eyes roamed around my body to make sure I was seated comfortably, to which I frowned at again. Why was he acting odd?

As he shuts the door, he jogged his way to the drivers side, getting in and slamming the door. I was too busy gazing at the beauty of the car to pay him any attention. Inside was blue themed, blue lights, everything. I liked it...

"I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. Coach called in for a last minute meeting." I just now took note of him properly. He was once again in a hoodie, a different one each time, but he wore hoodies and oversized shirts practically every day, which seems like his get-go outfits.

Maybe he wore more formal out of school, who knows. Definitely not me.

I shrugged, turning away from his annoyingly beautiful eyes. "Its fine. You're here now." He nods, starting the car and pulling off park. Maneuvering out the school gates and taking a sharp left when I directed him to.

The trip was oddly quiet as he drove unnecessarily fast. Taking turns when I tell him to, and secretly stealing glances at me that he thought I didn't notice. It only made it more uncomfortable and I found myself biting down on my lips.

Before we knew it, he was parking his car in front of my cute little house. The lights where off like I expected, mama was gone till tomorrow. As we got out, I took note of how he looked around curiously. His eyes taking in my neighborhood with this glint in his eyes.
