Chapter 136 - Mysterious

"Okay, class. Ms. Scott will be your representative next week for your literature writing. Please give her a hand," Ms. Lancaster was so happy that I able to join the competition.

She said that I really do have a potential based on my past writings that has to do with this competition. And now, everyone feels excited about it. Even my friends are encouraging me to do great on that day.

I was a bit overwhelmed of course, this is the first time that I'm going to join this kind of competition. I'm nervous and kind of happy. I mean, I experienced participating to some virtual competitions when I'm still writing my books before but this is different. I was a personal interaction between competitors and it's much exciting for me.

I just hope that Noah would be able to come here on that day..

"Is your boyfriend will going to fetch you?" Jennie and Marco was standing beside me here at the shelf.

We're now waiting for the rain to stop. And unfortunately, I didn't even know that it will going to rain today. It's October 1st and this is the welcome entry of it today. I just hope that this month will bring us a good memories.

"No. He's busy," I answered. I looked at the sky and saw the thick grey sky.

I think it's going to rain so heavy today. I don't think I can go home early now. Oh god. I should've checked the weather earlier.

Noah's also busy so I didn't want to disturb him. I prefer to just let him work than going here and wait for me. I can manage myself though.

"Do you want me drive you home? We can't leave you here," Marco said.

I looked at him and arched a brow when Jennie was beside him. I think they're going to go home together.

"Jennie were going with you?" I asked.

"We're always together girl!" Marco defended. He looked so flirt which made me laughed.

"Ah.." I nodded. "Where's your car?"

I looked around but I don't see any around. And when I turned my eyes at them, they're laughing like something's funny.

"I don't have a car, Raine," Marco giggled. "There,"

He pointed at the left direction and my brows furrowed when I saw his motorcycle. I rolled my eyes as I estimated how many person it can occupy.

But to my expectation, we can't fit there. I wanted to mock him but since we're not that close enough, I just rolled my eyes at them.

"Seriously? I can't ride on that," I shook my head.

"Why? We can fit there," Marco smiles.

"We can't. And besides, it's raining. It would be hassle to go home without any protective coat," I sat on the chair watched the rain fall from the ground.

I wanted to just watch it now until it stops. I don't know but I felt like something's bothering me now but I didn't know what that is..

"Your mom would be worried when you didn't go home now," Jennie says. She also sat beside me and cling her hand into my arm. "Let's just go, Raine. Please?"

She made a puppy eyes and it's just so cute. But I didn't want to make it hard for them. I can wait longer since it's Saturday tomorrow.

"You can go home now, don't worry about me. I'm used to this," I gave them an assuring smile so they wouldn't feel like I'm their responsibility.

"We can't leave you here, come on I can manage driving you both--"

"I can take her home," I heard a familiar voice which made me turned into it.

My mouth parted when I saw Pierre walking so cool with his white button down dress and his black slacks. I'm a bit confused why's he here but when I saw a piece of book in his other hand, it gave me an idea.

"He's the guy that I'm telling you during our first day! Oh my god. He's so handsome!" Jennie was whimpering beside me like a crazy animal.

"You're right, Jennie. He's hot!" I heard Marco whispered with an adoration in his voice.

"P-pierre?" My brows furrowed.

I was actually surprised to see him here. I've never seen him again after the incident between Noah and his father's fight. I was actually reaching out to him to personally thank him and even treat him outside but he's not reachable.

And it's funny that I'll just get to see him here after finding him.

"You know each other?" Jennie asked while Marco was also shocked when he realized it too.

"He's my acquaintance," I smiled.

I can't say that we're actually close because we're not really. And I can't also say that we're friends because I don't remember getting along with him before.

"I can take her home if you can't," He suggested and looked at me.

"Nah. I'm fine, you can all go home," I didn't want to bother him too.

"The weather forecast said that the rain might stop until midnight so I bet you didn't want to wait until that time, huh?" His brows furrowed.

Yeah. I remembered that he's actually cold and carefree.

"Oh my! He's right girl!" Jennie agreed as she looked at her phone.

Maybe they're looking for confirmation.

"Don't worry, my intention was clean. I just wanted to drive you home safety as your a-acquaintance.." He looked away.

I felt like I offended him by saying that earlier. But I really don't know how to address him..

"Don't take it as a bad idea..alright, I'm going with you," I give in.

I'm doing this to make him feel better. I'm not that cold hearted to just ignore his feelings..

"Alright. It's settled now!" Marco and Jennie looked so happy.

"Let's go?" Pierre asked.

"We're going now. Drive safely okay?" I said to the two and they both gave me a smile and nods.

"You too. Take care of our friend sir!" They waved at us.

"Wait here, I'll just get my car," He left me there and started to run towards his red sports car.

I was amazed when he started riding it through my direction. He suits it and it makes him so cool while driving it.

And when he parked it in front of me, he immediately run towards me while holding an umbrella. He guided me towards his car and he even opened the door for me.

I really felt shy when he does that. I didn't know that he's also gentleman. I was used to his usual so called 'attitude' towards others that I didn't even noticed his good qualities.

He's cold but caring. The kind of brother that I want.

"Are you cold? Put this around you," he gave me a thick blanket. "That's clean, I didn't used it,"

He looked defensive so I just laughed at him. I didn't even say anything but he's pretty obvious.

"Where's your boyfriend? Why he didn't fetched you today?" He asked during our ride.

"He's busy," I simply answered. He already knows what I'm talking about so I didn't have to elaborate it.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"He should've still make some time for you," he answered. "Err. I'm not his world, I don't own his life." I rolled my eyes. He just smiled at me and just focused on the ride. I also turned my eyes at the window and stared at the dark reflection outside. It's almost dark now, I can see the darkness wrapped around the sky now.

"We're almost there now," he smiles.

"Thank you," I smiled back.

"I can drive you again next time if you don't have someone to drive you home," He offered which made me feel confused.

"Pardon?"

"I can drive you again," He repeated.

Did I heard it right? Pierre was offering me a ride service next time? Why?

"You didn't have to. I'm fine. Noah's going to pick me up soon,"

It made me feel uncomfortable with it so I answered it awkwardly. Oh god.

"That's why I'm saying that next time you need someone to drive you home."

I can see that he's sincere with his words through his tone and how he glanced at me with those mysterious gazes.

I can't tell his motive here but it somehow gave me an idea of his sincerity with words. It's so odd.

"We're here," He stopped the car around and I saw that we're actually outside of our building now.

I can't say any words, I was in a deep questions inside my head. It doesn't extract what I've been circling. It was an odd idea which can also give me cringe feeling inside.

"T-thanks," I awkwardly says.

I quickly unbuckled the seatbelt around me and opened the car door. His reaction didn't changed but I can see that he's watching my moves if I can get out of his car safely or not.

It was uncomfortable really..

But it's somehow helpful that I can sleep at my bed now.

"Careful," He said when we stepped outside.

He's holding an umbrella and guided me towards the entrance area so I wouldn't be soaked with rain.

"Thanks for driving me here.. Drive safely!" I tried to sound happy.

He just nodded and gave me the umbrella. Why is he offering it when he's the one who needs it?

"You can take it now, I'm fine."

"Okay," He said and start walking away.

That guy's a bit weird. He's caring but I can't really read his mind. He's kind of mysterious that gives me a slight confusion.

I watched his car drove away from my place. And when he's gone, I immediately headed towards my unit to change.

I wanted to sleep but I needed to fill Noah's shift later.

Gosh!
