31 BOATING ON TWO RIVERS (1/2)
I was waiting for Minho to arrive, feeling restless and so annoyed of myself. Like what the hell Cass, you shouldn't have let Ethan affect you. Urgghh I hate myself, how can he do that to me? I'm so easily turned on by him. Later tonight, I have to get rid of that man.
I kicked out all the stones I could find to vent my anger. I'm so mad at myself right now.
*beep beep*
I looked up and saw Minho waving at me from inside the car.
I smiled at him, feeling guilty. How can I let this guy get close to me when I'm still so unclean and sinful?
I sighed and approached the car. ”Hi.”
”Hey lady. Hop in.”
The ride to school was somewhat uneventful. Minho asked me about my sleep, and I couldn't tell him I'm with my ex. How perfect is that. He also told me he'll be starting to work at their construction company.
”Is Gina also in your firm?”
'Yes. Since it's a family business. Gina's father is the current CEO.”
”Oh wow. So rich. So Gina is next in line?”
”Supposed to be. But Gina doesn't really like doing that job. She favors being an architect and design, design, design.”
”So, a brother maybe?”
”She's the only child.”
My mouth grew wide. ”So you're the next?”
”Eh, I think so. No one from the family are in this field. So, I think so.”
”Wow. Minho,that's very good.”
”Yeah, but that's still far. I have to start at the bottom and you have to start teaching.” He pointed at the front. The school came into view. We have arrived so quickly.
”Thanks Minho. Take care. Good luck on your first day! Ganbatte!” saying that with a fighting hand pose.
He laughed, ”Sorry, don't understand that last bit but take care. I'll see you later.”
I got out of the car and blew him a flying kiss before walking to school.

”So what was that kiss now? Huh? Huh?”
”Ash, shut up. You know, I never imagined you being like this. I thought you were a serious guy because of your voice. But naah, expectation vs. reality.”
”Haha well. Don't judge me by my cover.”
”I think that should be the book, not you.”
”I don't like being compared to a book. But, let's get back to the subject at hand. Are you and Minho..?” Ash is wagging his brows up and down.
I sighed. ”We're friends. You know, getting to know and stuff?”
”And stuff? What is that?”
I facepalmed. How could this guy be a teacher. ”You should teach now look, the kids are getting restless. Go on, go on. I'll be distributing their quiz scores.”
The day went smoothly without Ash pestering me since he's being pestered by the kids.
After the class when all the kids were fetched, Ash sat beside me on the teacher's nook, draping his body all over the chair.
”Cass! Why didn't you help me? I'm so tired.”
”Why should I? The kids want it to be you.”
