Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Skylar's POV

"Hey." I greeted as I slid inside Alex's car, passing him a small smile.

Though, he didn't smile back, he just frowned. "Where the heck-"

"Somewhere." I interrupted him, knowing clearly well what he was about to ask. "I know you're mad at me for not letting you know where I was going, but it was so sudden; an emergency. I had to go, and I didn't have my phone with me to call you."

I was silently hoping that it'd be enough and he'd let this topic go, and to my relief, he just shook his head and started the car, changing the topic. "How's your Physics's preparation?"

I inwardly smiled and placed my backpack on my lap. "It's good." It was more than good actually.

I busied myself quickly braiding my hair since I didn't get the chance to do it back at home. I hadn't exactly woken up early, and Alex was always impatient when he was outside my house.

"Good?" He raised an eyebrow. "That's new."
