As it nears 8 o'clock, my phone rings and I look to see who it is. I roll my eyes so hard that I feel a headache coming on. I decline Dominic's call so he knows I'm purposefully ignoring him. He sends me a text a few minutes later but I don't even bother looking at it. Instead, I sit and wait for Elias to tell me he's outside. When I get the call, I rush outside and into his car.
"Nice ride," I compliment his Jeep. I don't know much about cars but it doesn't take a genius to tell that this car is a good one.
"Thanks," he replies quietly. "You look good."
"Thank you," I mumble awkwardly as I silence my phone, ignoring the 23 notifications. "You, too."
"So how was your day?" I offer him a smile.
"It was great. I finished a paper," I lie. Not about the paper but about today being great.
