The Life Of An Introvert

Chapter 7:

"You don't like Taylor Swift?" Rachel asked Jared once they were seated in the car.

"You know her?" Jared asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well I do know that she dated Harry Styles once."

"You know Harry Styles,too?"

"Well, of course I do. Everyone knows him."

"Woah. You know a lot more than you let on."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, you do. I wouldn't have guessed you knew either of them."

"Because I don't."

"Huh?"

"I heard someone in school talking about the two of them. I don't really know who they are."

Jared burst out laughing. Rachel punched him lightly on his arm.
"Don't laugh at me! It's rude." Rachel told him.

"I'm so sorry but you are just so adorable sometimes, it cracks me up."

Rachel rolled her eyes at that. Jared drove as Rachel guided him about the way to her house and he told her about Taylor Swift and Harry styles too.
Then all of a sudden, Rachel asked Jared, " Hey, I just realised, I didn't see your parents at your house."

"That's because they are off to a business trip. They're never here much."

"That's sad."

"Actually, no. It's sad when they are around. We tend to enjoy more without them."

"They were this busy even in your childhood?"

"Yeah. It has always been like that."

"Then who brought you up?"

"My mom's cousin, Aunt Helen."

"Where is she now?"

"The Heavens. It could be Hell too, considering the number of times Fiona and I cursed her for making us drink milk."

"So you guys just have yourselves?

"No, we have you too." Jared said, smiling as the car pulled to a stop near Rachel's house.

Rachel got out. Jared pulled his window down and asked:

"You aren't going to be in trouble for going home so late?" Jared asked.

"No. My Mom's actually going to be happy that I've been 'socialising'."

Jared smiled at that and said his goodbye.
When Rachel laid down on her bed to go to sleep, she realised that never in her life before had she felt so content and so complete.
She couldn't wait to go to school tomorrow.
