Chapter 25

Wild - Trevor Daniel 🎶

I wake up this morning to the sound of my phone’s classic alarm and to an empty room. I get down my bunk to breathe in the morning air...and that’s how I walk out to the entrance of the room to an almost empty block showing no sign of girls.

I sigh.

I decide to go back to my room...I would have loved it if only one person still stayed back at least in the room. Checking the time, it is just seven am..so it means I still have loads of time on my side to get ready for the day ahead with Drew.

I have never been on a date or outing so to call it with a guy..like I mean only myself with a guy.

Walking to my side of the wardrobe, I fish out my beige spaghetti dress and flats.

I really want to take my time to make sure I’m set before leaving.

I walk up to the bathroom, do all necessary girly stuffs.

I soon get done and when i get to the room...I sigh yet again.

I put on my dress and tie my hair into a pony tail..then my phone rings.

Drew.

“Hello..”

“Good morning, can you be out by eight?”

“Whyy?” I ask thinking why there’s the sudden shift in time

“Traffic”

“Ohh ok then”

The call ends and I check the time..what! It’s 7.45am already.. and I just fucking agreed to be done in fifteen minutes.

I quickly wear my body con dress, it’s one of my favorites and I hope today’s marvelous for me.

I dont really have time for too much make up for I just rather settle for white pomade and lip gloss..next thing, I fix my feets into my flats.

I hope this flats dont make me look too formal though.

Now over to my hair, I am kind of not sure what to do with it,

“Maybe I should just curl it up and part it at the centre..”i tell myself rhetorically

I drag out my box from under the bunk and pick out my hair kit.

Squashing out a handful of my curling cream..I squeeze out some styling gel and massage it into my hair and just like it works, my hair bounces.

I just then part it with my tail comb side ways..

I quickly pick up my tote bag and phone and motion to the mirror..I’m not so sure how i look but i guess i am okay. 

I hope.

I hastily lock the door and run down the stairs..

“He’s not here yet..” i say to myself as I look around trying to catch my breathe.

I decide to walk over to the concrete pavement by the wall and sit down while I receive fresh hair and engage myself in my super mario’s game on my phone.

Sighing, I wonder if I should go back up and do some small adjustment to my looks but he may just get here anytime soon..so i decide against it.

Super focused on my phone, I didnt even realize someone was standing upfront till he drags my phone out of my hands.

That cologne,”Drew” 

I say looking up immediately

“Thought you were watching some catchy intense interesting movie” he says looking at my phone

I understand what he means, such a male whore

I get up smiling and he hands over my phone to me

“You look adorable..” he says as I get up

Okay now I feel embarrassed by that. This is the first time he’ll say something pleasant to me.

“Thanks...i guess” i say as i flush

He leads the way to his car and opens the passenger seat for me

“Get in”

I smile and nod

“You’re agreeing without arguing or asking questions for the first” he says amused with a grin

I dont know what he expects me to say, so I just smile and have my seat 

He gets into the car and pulls out of the parking lot.

He seems to be satisfied cause I can really notice no sign of sour expression today, he turns on the volume just the preferable way.

I reach down to change the trap music going on, I cant be the only one that feels trap music is trash and there’s just one simple sentence I’ll give you as my reason. 

They just spit out nonsense so fast sounding like nursery rhymes to the ears.

Out of love comes on by chiké and my spirit flys high to the sky...

“It is hard for me to say but I’m gonna say it any way” i sing excited 

Drew joins me,

“I’ve fallen out of love with you” I gasp

Never in my life would i have ever imagined Drew to have such a nice alto harmonious voice...I’m mentally screaming at this

He looks at me and I smile feverishly which he returns

We continue to sing harmoniously till the song ends, my spirit is so fly at this moment.

“Renee” He calls on me and I turn my attention to him

“I dont like you around Jayy,” my eyes wide open at this

“I dont think he has the best intentions with you” he continues

“And why would you care if i stay around him or involve in his affairs?” I ask purposely

He turns his attention back to the road and I cant help but laugh at his words of advice

He doesnt mind my laughing out loud, wait, hold up.

Does he mean what he just said?

But why would he care?

If he’s saying jayy is bad for me then doesnt that make hanging out with himself bad as well?

It’s not like I can ever even imagine myself intentionally hanging out with jayy, over my dead body but I just dont talk about that to Drew so he doesn’t feel fly.

Whatever reason made him tell me this, i just hope its all good. I really dont like trobule at least not with people i literally just met and I’m far away from home.

 He turns the music back on and now its playing fade by lewis capaldi.

I really wonder who’s more heart broken between Adele and lewis capaldi

“Like I’m really hoping to hear a collab from lewis Capaldi and Adele, I’d just wallow in sadness”

Drew laughs and turns to me with a smile.

Our eyes lock and he proceeds to say, 

“i can change it if you dont like the song”

“What no..no...” i answer him repulsively

“I long for such songs when I am in those one of my moods or feelings” i tell him

He doesnt buy what i said and he reaches down to change the song

“So what kind of songs do you listen to” he asks with his eyes 

“Any song asides trap” i laugh at myself

“I can listen to anything just depends on my mood...”

He nods and chuckle 

“Do you agree music listens to the soul more than the world could” i tell him

“Of course”he agrees

“And you dont think that’s weird or i am weird?” I ask him paying attention to his reaction upclose

“If you call yourself weird, that makes two of us” he defends and stop at the red sign of the traffic

“I mean sometimes I just hate this world to the extent I cant express myself even to myself...”

I watch his lips as he talks

“I feel like I am too much to understand and I am often misjudged or end up in situations I never intended to fall into...”

I can hear him clearly but my eyes wanders through his ear lobes to his jawline then temple

Just in, he turns to me

“I’d have been a millionaire by now just by every time you stare at me..”

I flush at that statement

“And what if you find who understands you totally?” I ask curiously 

“Then I’d be ready to go to whatever length to make her happy..” he answers and mean it

I want to ask what he has going on with Violet and Priscy then but i resist the urge to

“How old are you anyway?” I ask to change the topic for now

The traffic light turns green and he moves.

I hear him laugh.

“What’s so funny?” I ask not understanding what caused his reaction

“Not only are you looking adorable but you are adorable..”

I hug myself, so that’s funny? I think to myself

“I’m legal” he says

“Is Drew a short form or thats the full name?”I ask

“Short for andrew” he responds instantly 

“Are you surprised I agreed to come along with you?” I ask curiously not exactly sure what I wanted to hear from him

“I would hunt you down any way” he answers 

In a way, that felt or sounded true.

“So you’re a wolf or something? Like scott in teen wolf”

He laughs out, you actually watch that series

“I didnt finish it” i answer
