CHAPTER SIX: Curiosity Kills the Cat

▬▬  E T H A N  ▬▬

I ALMOST KILLED A GIRL WITH MY CAR.

Holding the driving wheel tightly in my hands, a deep breath escaped my lips, eyes widened at what happened. My sister, who was still in the passenger seat, almost looked as if she was going to have a heart attack as soon as I had stepped on the break and accidentally bumped into the horn - also scaring the girl outside.

I didn't notice that the stoplight had already turned red so I sped off carelessly. The only thing that I didn't expect is that a girl would cross over, and immediately shouted at me as I almost reached her - making me even more confused, immediately stepping on the brakes.

And to be honest, it wasn't just any girl. It was that girl from Jollibee.

Of all the people in the world, why her? Why now? Don't tell me that it's just another coincidence. I have seen her several times and something bad always happens to me. She's just like a walking bad-luck charm to me.

Just shaken from what happened, I felt Ate Yen patting me on the shoulder and suddenly spoke right next to my ear. Of course, I was also surprised because she was too close to me.

"What the fvck just happened, Ethan?" she said irritably as I quickly glanced at her to my right. It was obvious on my sister's face that she was still very shaken until now because we never thought that such an accident could happen.

I wouldn't blame her though, 'cause I also felt the same.

"Yen, I'm sorry, okay?" I said before looking at her in the mirror. Irritated, she took her bag that was next to me and decided to look at her belongings.

"Are you okay there in the back?" I added before taking a deep breath. She looked at me in the mirror and nodded, averted her eyes after a while, and turned her attention outside.

She seems to be frustrated to actually talk to me. Though, in her forced attempt, she gave me an unexpected response.

"I'm alright. But I shouldn't be the one you'd ask that question," she said as I raised an eyebrow. Well, who does she want me to talk to? Since I was confused, I asked for her explanation.

"And to whom should I ask that?" When she glanced at me again, she laughed. It's just not genuine. This was the sarcastic laugh that she always gives whenever I say some nonsense.

"I don't know. How about that girl? Can you ask her if she was okay when you almost ran over her?"

"Look, I know that you're mad."

"Well, at least you noticed that," she said to me before she waved me off. I just let out a deep sigh before turning my attention back to driving.

I just swallowed and kept quiet when she scolded me even more. She was still going at me since I broke the speed limit and almost crashed the car into someone without knowing. Well, technically, this car was my sister's so I could understand why she was worried.

Damn.

And here I thought that today was great.

As soon as we arrived at school, I saw that the guard had already opened the gates so that we could park inside.

To be honest, my only goal is to catch up with the enlistment so that I can no longer have to wait for another day and go back in here. The reason why I'm using this one was that I tried driving my car too fast from the regular speed limit - to which I got scolded back then for trying to test drive it as a racing car or some sort.

Still, I didn't follow that rule.

I quickly parked my sister's Mercedes-Benz and got out of the car. And because I don't want the past to happen again, my sister let me use her car and almost become her personal driver now.
