Chapter 11 Found Eleven
I'm on my way to Andrew's driving school. Our group agreed to go there. Today is Anne's schedule of driving class with Andrew.
They are so curious about her that's why they wanted to go there and meet her. I can't blame them, though, because based on their talks about her, I also got curious. Maybe that is why I agree to go with them.
When I arrived at the driving school, I saw that the boys are all complete. It is not so obvious that they are excited to meet her. Note the sarcasm.
But it seems like Anne is not yet here. It's still early, though.
"Alli!" My cousin called me.
I smiled and went to them.
'You guys are so early! It's not obvious that you are all excited!" I teased them.
'Are we that obvious?" Vince said, smiling.
'Sort of," I said.
We are all happy talking to each other when the person that we are all waiting for finally arrived.
"Anne!" Andrew called her.
I don't know, but I felt a slight pain in my heart when I saw them together.
They look good together. I said to myself.
"Anne, meet my friends Lance, Mike, Vince, and Allison." Andrew introduces us to her.
"Hi!" She greeted us.
She is beautiful, tall, and has a morena complexion. She has long and curly hair. Big bone type of woman but sexy. She also knows how to dress up. Her make-up is simple, but she looks so beautiful.
'So you are the new student of Andrew. We heard a lot of things about you." Lance said.
She smiled at that. 'Do I need to be nervous about that?"
'Don't worry, all the things that we heard about you from Andrew are all compliments. I don't remember any negative things that he said about you." I assure her.
I don't know, but I feel good about her.
She smiled at me. 'Are you the only girl in the group?"
I gave her a forced smile. 'I'm not even included in this group. They don't have a choice but to tag me along."
She chuckled. "Really?"
I nodded and smile at her.
It took them an hour before starting with their driving lesson because we keep on talking to Anne.
I found out that Lieo is also part of their group. He is just too busy, and his schedule is not fit with them. That's why he wasn't able to join them recently. As per them, this guy seems to be busy because of a girl who we hide in the name of Anne.
Anne also likes that Lieo. I talked to her one on one earlier when we went to the powder room. And there, she told about what she thinks towards Lieo. And based on what she shared with me, even if she doesn't admit it, I knew that she likes that guy Lieo.
'Many people also said to me that Lieo likes me, but I don't want to assume. I might hurt in the end if I let myself believe something that is not yet confirmed." She said.
I do understand her. I knew where she is coming from. I have been in that situation before. And where did it bring me? Heartaches.
'You know what, Anne? You are right with what you said. As per what the accountancy always says, ‘never assume unless otherwise stated." I said to her.
'Let's stop talking about me. What about you and Andrew, or is it Vince?" She asked curiously.
I was taken aback by what she asked. I didn't see that coming. I suddenly got curious if Andrew talks about me to her.
'Why are you asking me that? Did Andrew tell you something?" I asked.
I tried to hide my excitement. But I was anticipating her answer.
She looked at me intently and started to tease me. 'Why do you want to know?"
I shrugged. 'Nothing. I was just curious."
She chuckled. "Tell me you like him, right?"
"W-what?" I stutter.
Wrong reaction, Alli! You are too obvious.
"You don't need to answer. I think you guys have a mutual feeling with each other." She said, then she went out of the powder room.
I already arrived at our home from Andrew's driving school when my phone rang.
It was Andrew.
"Yes, Drew?" I said.
'Are you home already?'
"Yes. Why?"
‘I want to know if you arrived safely. How was your day? And what do you think of Anne?'
'She's okay. She's fun to be with, and I feel comfortable talking to her." I honestly said.
'You're right. That is also what I thought of her when I first met her.'
My heart hurts from the way he talks about her. I don't have anything against Anne. I like her as a friend.
"You like her?" I can't help but ask.
‘Why? Are you jealous?' He asked in a teasing tone.
'Why will I get jealous?!" I said defensively.
I heard him chuckle. 'You are right. Why will you get jealous as you said, love, is not jealous, right?!"
