Nico's POV
Yeah, I offered that we walk together because I don’t know what else to talk about at that moment but how can I open a conversation when he’s walking behind me!??
I reached my street so I’m supposed to turn in the corner and bid goodbye when he spoke suddenly which made me jumpy.
I held my chest because of shock and turned to see him.
“Sorry?” I asked because I didn’t really hear him well.
“I-I ehem, I said if you’re available tomorrow?” he asked and I’m more confused.
Why is he asking if I’m available tomorrow!? He just popped up behind me a while ago and we just walked together. I don’t know how it happened and now this!!!???
“Uhm? W-why?” I asked not to sound rude.
“Sorry” he panicked and turned around.
“H-hey, it’s alright I’m just asking why and to answer your question, I would be in school and I don’t know if I have free time yet” I replied feeling guilty because he’s kind of shaking.
“No noo, sorry, I kind of chose the wrong words again. I just meant if I could see you again tom-tomorrow since uhm..ahh nevermind sorry again” he replied and ran on the way back where we just walked together.
Don’t tell me we just passed where he lives? Then why bother walking ‘til I get to my street? Creepy…
I got goosebumps and looked in the area to scout before I entered the street where I live.
As soon as I stepped inside the house, my brother stared at me.
Why do people keep staring at me!?
I frowned at my brother and he suddenly stood and approached me. “What do you need?” I asked and he smiled genuinely. “I know that face, what is it? Spill” I refused to guess because I’m still creeped out by what just happened a while ago.
“Do you have some extr–”
“Nope, I don’t have” I cut him off and shove his face away from me.
“Oh c’monn, Nicolett, I know you got some extra there”
"Not hearing you" I replied and shut the door of my room.
“Ugh,, you people have no heart” he exclaimed and I just ignore him,
I decided to take a nap for a bit and work on my assignment later since I felt drained, even though it was just the first day.
When I woke up feeling thirsty, I headed to the kitchen, but just as I was about to grab a drink, I heard the doorbell ring.
My brother called out from the living room, “Nicollet??!! Are you up? Can you get my order?”
I went to the front door and opened it, only to see Lucas holding a food container in a plastic bag.
We were both surprised to see each other, but I was the first to recover, so I smiled and greeted him with a simple “hi”.
“H-Hello…” he stammered, handing me the food. “Sean Monteyore?” he asked, confirming the delivery for my brother and I nodded. “That would be 315 pesos,” he added.
“Alright, wait” I said and headed to my brother.
I walked over to my brother, who was comfortably lounging on the couch. I kicked the couch to get his attention and extended my arm for the payment.
“The food?” he asked, and I showed him without handing it over.
“Payment first” I said, hiding the food behind me.
