Human Kid (II)

21.

"Man, it's raining hard," Justin said as he looked out of Suzanne's class window. The bus they ought to take had broken down. Suzanne watched the lightening flash and crack again.

"Looks like a storm," Annabelle who was seated beside them said. Justin nodded in agreement.

"How will you get home now?" Suzanne asked Justin.

He closed his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about me Suzanne, my driver's picking me up and I'm heading somewhere else today."

Her eyes widened. "You have a driver?!"

Annabelle snorted, "Justin family is also filthy rich, he's just a humble little soul."

Justin frowned at her. "You say it like it's a bad thing," he said and crossed his arms.

"Okay, bye. I have to find my level I guess," Suzanne said as she proceeded to leave the classroom.

"I could drop you off also," Justin suggested.

"No thanks," Suzanne said and went out the class. Since he admitted he wasn't heading home, she would be a  major disturbance.

She then went out of the school.

Ethan and Ashley had left earlier before the heavy rain decended.

Suzanne sighed as she entered the rain and ran to the bus stop to get another bus. She sat on the bench for waiting and the rain fell on her as she waited. She shivered a little.

Just then a car she recognized approached.

It was Ryan's limousine.

She raised her head hopefully.

Maybe he'll help. He might have an umbrella in his car or something. She thought.

"Master Ryan?" Greg said questionly as he approached Suzanne.

"Drive on," Ryan said coldly.

Greg glanced back. "She's in the rain."

"I don't care, move on," Ryan instructed and relaxed himself.

Marissa who sat beside him chuckled inwardly.

"Very well," Greg sighed and picked up speed.

Suzanne frowned slightly when the car sped past her.

She looked down at her hands. Does Ryan hate me that much? Is it because I like him that he acts like that?

A tear dropped from her eyes but it mingled with the rain.

Suddenly the rain stopped falling on her, she raised her head and looked around.

It was raining everywhere except on her.

She looked up.

Andrew was holding an umbrella over her head with a pissed expression.

"What's your problem? Why didn't you just wait in the school? Why'd you have to sit in the rain?" he demanded a bit annoyed.

She just looked down again.

He grabbed her hand and shoved the umbrella inside her hand and glared at her before walking away.

"What about you?!" she called after him.

"My dad's coming now," he replied without looking back and left.

Soon a bus pulled up in front of her and she entered.

As the bus moved forward a bit she saw Andrew leaning on a wall of a building with his arms stuffed in his hoodie pocket. His eyes were closed though he was facing upwards. The water splashed on his face but it didn't bother him much.
