What the… Seriously, he's laughing at me? How nice.
"See? You're laughing," I snapped. "Even you think I really am not… Haaaah." And there I was back to sulking. I slumped my back on the backrest of my seat and leaned over the window again.
"You don't understand what you're saying," Kaiden replied, still laughing.
"Why not?" I asked, irritated. "And stop laughing, it's not funny."
"It IS funny though. A beautiful girl saying she's ugly. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Badump!
OMG. Did I hear him right? K-Kaiden just said that I'm… I'm beautiful?
"W-what?" I blurted in surprise. I felt my cheeks go hot. "You're lying."
"I'm not though. You know, I have the perfect song for you," he said through his laugh. Then, he picked a song from his playlist, and turned the music on in the car.
