Maya covered her lips as soon as she realized what she had said.
She had so often made snide comments towards her fellow rich kids that Nate must have picked up on it during the time they were together.
"Don't worry," Nate said in a comforting tone as he glanced at her while driving. "I'm sure he'll forgive you for what you said just now."
Nate laughed even harder as Maya sank into her seat, completely embarrassed by her words.
"Does he hate me? Does his girlfriend hate me?" Maya asked as she realized that rumors were flying everywhere about them.
"Why would he hate you?" Nate asked as he looked at Maya.
"Hey! Eyes on the road!" Maya scolded when she realized that he had turned his attention towards her.
"Answer, why do you think Alistair would hate you?" Nate said as he repeated his question.
"Because…" she began to say as her voice trailed away and her cheeks reddened.
