It Can't

Chapter 21

In the last chapter:

''Okay!'' I yelled  running towards him before he could get in the car. ''Okay, I accept  your invitation...''. My answer made him smile and we got in the car.

What have I just done?

While we were completely silent, a classic music was playing in the background. I was surprised that it wasn't Rock nor Pop music. Not that Hayden was looking like a type of boy who likes these kinds of music, but a lot of people don't listen to classic music which surprised me a little bit coming from him.

"So, how are you today?" Said Hayden still looking at the road, but smiling at the same time, making his dimple appear on his cheek.

Realizing that I was staring at him, I coughed and looked at the road too.

"Really good, I'm just really late for my class, but I'm fine." I answered with a sarcastic voice.

He laughed and declared,

"Are you serious? You know that there is much worse in this world? And you're stressing about missing one class out of what, 500?"

I sighed and placed a strand of hair behind my ear.

"I know..." I whispered. "It's just... I'm not used to that, it's not me."

He nodded as if he knew me and knew that I was really punctual and hated the lateness.

"I can't relate. I'm always late."

I laughed and looked at my window. Then, another silent moment. The music had now changed and I recognized a Beethoven song.

"You like classic music, don't you?" I risked myself.

His eyes still on the road, he answered,

"Yeah! I mean, don't laugh because nobody knows that I secretly love that type of music and nobody will ever know because..." He shrugged, " I guess they think it's not my type..."

I nodded and added,

"Well, I would never had known that fact, but it's cool."

For the first time, he looked at me and said with a little smile,

"It's like you. Nobody knows that you can actually sing."

I felt the pink on my cheeks and I looked at my feet to hide my face.

"Stop it. It's been a long time since I didn't sing seriously."

"Why? I mean, why you don't want people to know that you can sing? It's a beautiful talent that you have, why not showing it?" Asked Hayden with curiosity.

I raised my head and answered,

"I don't know... I don't want to show it, I'm not show off girl."

Speaking of that, I remembered somebody I knew really well in the past who was actually a show off girl; Ally of course. I didn't see her since I came here, is she still with Hayden? Or worse, is she still intimidating Nathan?

It's not in your business Elena!

But the curiosity won and I asked,

"Anyway, how is Nathan doing?" I said to bring the subject.
