delivery girl

Ch.58

Eli was expecting to go about his usual morning schedule. Wake up, get ready, drop Yena off with the sitter and then walk to school.

But here he was, sitting in the passenger seat of an expensive car with (Y/N) in the driver's seat and Huo in the back. They were currently in the line of a drive-thru, getting an unhealthy breakfast at Huo's request.

They were probably going to be late for school.

"Wait, so the person you're supposed to be guarding is the new girl?" Eli asked.

"Do you listen to anything she says?" Huo scoffed in the back, kicking Eli's seat, not bothering to give (Y/N) a chance to answer.

"What? I- Of course I listen!" The blue-haired boy said indignantly.

"Are you sure? Because you sure do seem distracted this morning." Huo says accusingly, kicking the back Eli's seat again.

Eli turned around in his seat and narrowed his eyes at Huo.

"Why are you even here?" He snaps.

"I'm getting breakfast."

"You're not even getting breakfast! You're getting a burger and fries!"

"Don't judge m-"

The bickering was interrupted by the car's horn honking, making everyone in the car jump. Even (Y/N), who had apparently tried to use the steering wheel as a pillow.

"Shit, sorry." She mumbled, rubbing at her eyes.

"Is it safe for you to be driving like this?" Eli asked, growing concerned.

"Probably not." (Y/N) answered with a shrug.

"Drive up! We're next!" Huo interrupted.

By the times they finally made it to school, the car smelled like fast food and Eli had rolled down the windows to air it out.

Some girls from the beauty department watched the expensive car curiously, gossiping about who it could belong to.

They gasped when Eli and Huo stepped out, but their excitement died down when (Y/N) stepped out.
(Y/N), feeling their stares, turned and gave the girls a smug grin before turning back to Huo.

"Make sure you roll those back up when you get home, okay?" (Y/N) reminded.

The boy only nodded excitedly and held his hands out to get the keys, not listening to what the girl was saying.

"And throw away your trash."

"Mhm." Huo hummed absentmindedly, making grabby hands more aggressively.

(Y/N) sighed, realizing that Huo wasn't hearing a word she was saying. She hesitantly dropped the keys into the taller boy's hands.

He whooped excitedly and immediately hopped back into the car and starting the car.

"I'll see you guys later!" He said, not waiting for a response before driving off.

"Take care of her..." (Y/N) whispered, watching the car drive off into the city.

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Huo's not as dumb as he makes himself seem." Eli reassured, laughing when (Y/N) grimaced at him.

"I wish I could share your optimism." She said quietly.

Eli stood there for a moment, not really wanting to go to class quite yet. (Y/N) was still staring in the direction that Huo drove off in.

'Is she worried about the car or Huo? She didn't seem that concerned when she let me drive...'
