Thats it.

Thats what happens when I put myself out there?

Is she just not interested? I thought the signs were clear.

Whatever.

I decide to go to my changing room and change into more comfortable clothes.

I walk in and throw on a wifebeater some black sweats and my original sneakers I came in.

I decide to leave and not spend any time practicing. I quickly pack my bag before putting the ice pack back on my face. See? I can follow directions.

I grab my bag and leave the building and begin walking towards my car. The minute I get in I notice someone leaving too. Holy shit, thats her. Thats my doctor.

I honk my horn and that earns me a look in my direction. She squints to see through the tint and walks a little closer but as soon as she see's its me she waves and continues walking in the original direction she was going.

Fuck no. Shes not going to give me a wave and call it a day. Im Rhea fucking Ripley. Shes going to acknowledge me wether she wants to or not.

I roll down my window and stick my head out.

"Let me drive you home."

She shakes her head and before waving her hands and finally giving me a proper response.

"No, I cant I have to be at my parents house tonight."

"Let me drive you there then."

"Why?"

I freeze. Why? Why does Rhea Ripley want to drive a doctor home?

"To thank you."

Her nose scrunches. She does that a lot.

"For what?"

"For helping me."

"But it's my job?"

"So? Teachers are supposed to teach and yet theres still teacher appreciation week."

She frowns before letting out a huff

"Thats a poor example."

"Jesus Adryenne, let me take you home."

"You're not gonna give up til I say yes are you?"

I smile and tapped my fingers on the wheel.

"You're a fast learner." I unlocked the doors "Seriously, let me drive you- as a thank you."

She thinks about it. I can tell because her jaw clenches and her eyebrow raises ever so slightly.
