2020 End of the Road

Chapter 6: Mission Oak

~Paul's POV~

"We're almost there. Hopefully Piper made it safely already." Bianet told us as she took another turn and we were passing ths CVS we would always pass by whenever I took the bus.

I noticed that the hot guy had willingly chosen to sit next to me in the back and we were pretty close tohether unfortunately.

"So... Thank you for actually agreeing and volunteering earlier..." I, out of the blue, told him while I rubbed a hand up and down my left arm.

"It's not something you should be thanking me about. We all have to contribute if we're doing this whole team thing." He responded while staring out the window.

Huh... He surprised me! He could have easily responded with something cocky and ruin the moment. Maybe he wasn't such a terrible guy after all.

"I didn't catch your name by the way..." I muttered out and played with my nails.

He glanced over at me for a second and genuinely smiled.

"It's Alan."

I gulped silently. Oh no, his name is pretty hot too.

"Well, now I'll be able to address you properly by your name." I fixed my posture and sat up straight with my hands on my lap.

"I would do the same, but feisty princess suits you more." He grinned hotly.

"OOOOOOOOH!!" Stephanie and Angie both chorused together and I immediately turned my face away from him, feeling the blush rising up to my cheeks.

"No comment." I said as I cleared my throat.

"We're here." Bianet announced and we all turned towards the school grounds.

It all looked the same as it always did.

There was like two or three cars in the main parking lot which worried me just a little. Either there was a few janitors who stayed overnight today to clean up or... There was at least a few zombies inside the safety of the school.

I looked around for Piper's car and was disappointed when I didn't catch any sight of the red car she had driven.

Bianet decided to drive towards the back at the student parking lot. The little rails to keep us out were thankfully open and we parked closest to the back gate in case we needed to leave immediately.

She turned off the van and we all sat in silence for a few seconds.

I let out a loud noise and unknowingly climbed over Alans lap. "Pipers car! It's here!" I pointed to the parked car over in the corner.

They all visibly lightened up and smiled at each other.

"Nice view." Alan commented as he looked down my back.

I pulled away and crossed my arms. "I think my new nickname for you is pervert."

He shook his head. "Well. Whatever you call me, I'll roll with it."

I bit my tongue slightly and twirled a piece of my hair to distract myself from the conversation.

"We don't want to keep Piper waiting." Shayla told us and hopped out of the van.

Angie and Stephanie stepped out as well and Alan, as a 'gentleman', kindly let me get off first.

Of course, you would think he was just being nice, but I am convinced he just wanted to get a good look at my exposed back.

I legit almost ate shit when I stepped onto the concrete cause of my heels but I managed to grab onto Angie.

"Woah! Watch your step. I see you're falling for me." Angie winked playfully.
