"Just a few more minutes," she whined. I had let myself into the Williams household, of course with the help of this cranky-looking kid. I turned to look at him standing by the doorframe, "Hey kid, give us a moment?" he gave me an annoyed stare with his arms crossed.

"I have a name, and it's Lucas. I'm telling mom because of you, she came home at midnight," and he left.

I shook the snob up, and she slowly opened her eyes, "Whaaat?" she whined again, and then jolted, sitting up straight. "What are you doing here?" she frowned.

I scratched the back of my head and replied, "Library duty remember?" I thought back to the conversation I had earlier with Jess and the others.

"You lost the bet, clean the library by yourself. Bye," Jess flipped her middle finger.

"We're going to the hotdog place. Bye," Kyle waved, smiling cheerfully.

"It'll take hours to clean the library alone!" I yelled. I was annoyed at how I managed to lose a bet and how they were betraying me right now.

"You do have that one girl to help you out though," Colin patted my back. Ethan just shrugged and they all left.

So here I was trying to take the snob to help me with the library duty. "You didn't help yesterday. Why should I help you?" it looked like as if she was looking down on me.

"Maybe I should use your motto too. 'Me and helping others don't mix.' I never walked so much in my entire life," she let out a frustrated sigh.

"You're the one who decided to lie to the dean. Saying you're one of the students," I gave her a smug smile.

Her mouth slightly opened, looking even more disbelieved than yesterday and started complaining. My ears tuned out her complaint as I looked around her room and observed. She seemed simple, maybe it's because she recently got here. Then my eyes went to her bed covers and her blanket.

I saw her feet sticking out of the blanket and her feet were bruised. I quickly looked back up at her face. She was still rambling on and on about how she got lost.

"Hey, if you help I'll take you to my favourite place, my treat," I spoke with guilt. She paused for a bit and seemed interested.

"Were you wearing heels or something yesterday?" I questioned out of curiosity. What kind of shoes was she even wearing to bruise her feet that bad?

"Treat? What will you be treating me to?" she looked curious. I somehow managed to convince her into doing the library duty with me in exchange for treating her.

"Do you have a car? My legs feel kinda dead," she smiled elegantly. The sun reflecting off of her face made the whole scenery look not that bad.

Smiled elegantly? I dismissed my useless thoughts and started listing what we could use as a mean of transportation. "We can take the bus or either ride a bicycle," and that was all I could think of to list out.

"Do you know how to drive? I'm going to assume that you have license. We can use one of the cars in the garage," she started limping her way to the garage.

I've drove Ethan's car once, I think, so I'm pretty sure I'm obligated to drive. Besides there's no way in hell I'm passing up the chance to drive a high branded car.
