321 A group photo (1/2)

His eyes glanced at her several times while driving the car. A grin curled on his handsome face. He could not say he disliked the outfit she chose in the end, preferring for her to use his clothes instead, but he did not speak it loudly. She was having a bad mood with the glares kept shooting toward him every few minutes.

What did he do wrong? His heart wondered.

They were now on the way to her apartment to retrieve her university identity card and her exam slip before he could send her to the University for her Exam. He did ask about breakfast. Could she survive without breakfast?

But her answer was another glare at him while muttering something he could not hear clearly. And he was a bit scared to ask her to repeat back what she said.

”Can you get a little bit faster?” she urged. She was worried she would be late for her exam. She did not like to be late for anything. She hated being late.

”Don't worry, darling. We will be there on time. You already put everything in one place, right?”

”Hmm…” she nodded. Before she left for her work a month ago, she already put all she needed for her exam in a bag on her study table. So she would not waste any time looking for it, especially in this kind of situation where she did not sleep at her own place last night. She glared again at the culprit.

He glanced at her when she glared again. Was he being blamed for something?

He changed the song into another of her favorite. He already kept a collection of her favorite songs on his phone so he could play them in any car with her.

It took a long half an hour for them to arrive in front of her apartment. He stopped at the entrance and watched as Ryn quickly unbuckled the safety belt and rushed into the building.

He pursed his lips thoughtfully. Would she be able to answer the exam with her stomach empty? He checked the time and frowned.

Would they have the time to buy food for her before they head toward the university?

He was still thinking about it when someone knocked on the window of the passenger side. He thought it was Ryn ordering him to unlock the door so without looking he pushed the button to unlock the doors.

The door opened but the one who appeared was not Ryn but someone else.

”Oh my God, Jeremy? Are you Jeremy?” Irene cried. She tried not to shriek but she could not help herself. The girls behind her were looking into the car excitedly. They too wanted to get into the car to get closer to Jeremy but Irene was there and they had to wait for Irene to be satisfied before they could do so.

Hurry up, Irene. They wanted to be close to him as well. They thought impatiently.

”Would you like me to sign anything?” he asked, quickly looking into the dashboard for anything to write into. He did not find anything. So he could only look at her. His heart was relieved but he could not show how happy he was.

”Any of you have a notebook?” Irene asked, turning her head to look over her shoulder.

The girls quickly unzipping their bags to take out their notebook. Of course, Irene took out her pink fluffy notebook as well.

Jeremy tried not to groan. He took out a pen from the side pocket and started to sign the pages. It was a lot.

When Ryn reached downstairs with her bag, she saw the girls surrounding the car. Her brows lifted seeing Irene busy gushing over Jeremy. What were the girls doing there? Weren't they supposed to go to the campus for their final exam?

She cleared her throat but no one put attention to her. She pursed her lips thoughtfully before opened them, ”Excuse me, girls?”

Still, no one turned to look at her.

She checked her watch and groaned under her breath. If they did not move now, she would be late.

”Excuse me. Please give way,” she tried to get through but it was hard. The girls refused to move. She could not get close to the car!

She took out her phone and called him. Maybe he was waiting for her call when she did not have to wait long for him to answer.

”Hello.”

”I'm outside. Can you tell them not to surround you?” she asked straightforwardly.

”Give me a second,” he promised. But she did not think he could do it easily seeing a familiar woman trying to sit into the car. Irene. Would she listen to Jeremy?

Ryn just stood straight and waited. How could he solve this?

She did not need to wait long. Jeremy actually got out of the car with that sickening sweet smile on his face. The girls actually shrieked when they saw him. Irene even pushed the girls so she could get closer to him.
