Mabel's Pov
When it's you and me, We don't need no one to tell us who to be. We'll keep turning up the radio...... The music blared from the alarm clock.
Why on earth did she set it to radio? I groaned slamming the snooze on the alarm clock which was a big mistake. I ended up waking at 7.45a.m.! Shit! We have to reach school by 8.30a.m! I quickly ran to my room, scavenging through my closet. I simply threw on some decent clothes and tied my hair to a high ponytail. Then I rushed down to have my breakfast, it's already 8a.m., I have like only 30 minutes left. I can't be late for the second day of school.
"Jade drove the car to school, but you can still drive mine. I'm not going anywhere today, so hurry or you going to be late." Mom said as she passed me my breakfast.
I kissed my mom goodbye and quickly grabbed the keys to the car. I was so relive when I find out that I still have time until I tried starting her car but it won't start. Dang it! We all know that my mom's car had lots of problems as it has already been around the house for almost 12 years. It's one of the stuff that mom insisted to bring back from our old town as it was her 'baby'.
"Seriously?! Of all days you have to breakdown today?! I'm telling you, the first thing I do when I come back from school is to sell you to the dumpster!" I hit my head forcefully on the steering wheel and caused a loud honking sound.
"What's wrong dear?" my mom rushed out.
I was so annoyed I answered rudely" What do you think?! Ergh stupid car!" I got out off the car, deciding to walk or more like run to school. If I run fast enough I might reach there in time. I know its cliché the girl gets late for school then her knight in shining armors swoop in and save her. Let's just hope that my knight decides to show up to save me today.
'Honk! Honk!' Who is that? It's not like I'm running on the road. I'm at the sidewalk for goodness sake! Are Californians that unreasonable?
"Yo! Mabel! Running Late Huh?" That voice sounded so familiar! I stopped for a second to think. Then, I remembered I'm running late! Who cares about the voice, I'll find out later on.
'Honk Honk! Honk Honk!
"What the hell do you want dude?!" I turned. Remember what I said about my knight in shining armor to saving me? Yea I take it back. Cause it's Dylan. Freaking Dylan Henson. Could this day get any worse? First I'm late for school. Second the car broke down. Now this.
"Hey Princess! Running late huh? Hop on, we can be there in less than 10 minutes with my excellent driving skills." He said.
Dylan was driving a convertible, he opened his car door and smiled at me. I hesitated for awhile, the idea does sound tempting. Knock it off Mabel, you're better off walking.
"Princess are you really ignoring me? At this rate you're never going to get there on time. Do you honestly want to be late on your second day of school?" He smirked evilly.
Eventually, I gave in. He was right, I can't be late for the second day of school. Even if I do get there on time, I would be a total mess. "Fine! But don't get the wrong idea. I'm accepting your offer only because I don't want to be late. Now drive!" I ordered him once I got into the car.
"Hello Dylan. So nice of you to help me. Your very hot by the way!" He mocked me.
I rolled my eyes at his comment and ignored him. After some time I couldn't help but ask him "Why are you passing by my place?"
"Umm...... I live around the here....... And I um...... So happen to...... you know pass by......" He said nervously while scratching his neck.
"You do know, I'm planning to be a physiatrist. I can easily tell if someone is lying..... and you certainly are." I glared at him obviously not buying whatever he was selling.
