"Just Friends"

Chapter 4

We walked into the cafeteria.
"Come on." he lead me to the food counter. He grabbed a tray for me than for himself. They were serving meatloaf today. Once we got our food, we walked over to an empty table.
"So Chloe, tell me a bit about yourself. Like your favourites."he told me as we ate.
"Well, don't judge but I love classic music." I responded.
"Me too! Most of the people I know hates classic music." he told me.
"What's your favourite composer? Mine is Beethoven." I said happily as this was the first person I knew who actually likes classic music.
"Beethoven is my favourite too. He's such a brilliant song writer. Do you like the Beatles?" he asked me.
"Of course." I replied.
"Hey, after school would you like to listen to some classics on my vinyl player?" he asked me a bit shyly.
"Yeah. That sounds like fun." I replied. Recess passed by quickly. A few hours later, the school bell had rung again.
We walked to the school car park. Earlier, I had called my mom telling her that she doesn't need to pick me up from school. Thomas led me pass many cars. Just than, he found his car and unlocked it. His car looked simple. It was red in colour and it didn't really look too expensive. He opened the car door for me.
"Milady, your ride awaits." he said in his british accent. I rolled my eyes at his goofiness and got in the car. He shut my door and made his way to the drivers seat.

The journey in the car took about 20 minutes. In the car,we talked about our likes and dislikes. I had found out that we had much in common.

He pulled up in the driveway of a double story house. The house was beautiful and quite big. We stepped out of the car.
"Let's go inside, shall we?" he asked as we stood in front of the house door.
"Thomas, is that you?" I heard a middle aged lady call out from the kitchen.
"Yeah mom, I'm home." he replied. Just than, a woman stepped into the living room where we were standing. She had brown hair with a few gray streaks. Her face had a few wrinkles and she was wearing plain clothes.
"And who is this?" she asked when she saw me.
"This is Chloe." he said as I extended my hand towards her.
"Pleasure to meet you ma'am." I said as I shook her hand.
"Oh, the pleasure is all mine." she told me.
"Well if you need me, we'll be in my room." Thomas told his mother. I followed him upstairs to his room.
