It's finally Friday, Ana doesn't train on Fridays, after what happened on the terrace with Luke, and she feels very anxious, and she feels a lot of different looks at her from the other students, when she passes them, she notices that they whisper to each other, she feels a certain discomfort, for now she has decided to avoid talking to Luke at school and also to Scoot, and practically hid in the library and she didn't even know that from today on things would change course, where she tries to keep her focus on reading books, she loves reading books, the hour passes that she doesn't even feel when she's reading, this makes her anxiety decrease a little, until she looks at the clock in the library and sees that classes are over, and it's already more than 14: 15 pm, Scoot sent a message earlier on her cell phone, she then remembers to check her cell phone, and sees that there is an SMS from Scoot:
"Ana, don't forget our meeting today, I'll be waiting for you at the school gate at 2:30 pm."
She looks at her watch again and realizes that the time is approaching. She doesn't like to keep anyone waiting, so she always tries to be early for her appointments:
"Damn, I forgot about the meeting...I shouldn't keep you waiting."
She then hurries to return the book to the library shelf, and separates a book to take home, packs her things in her backpack, and hurries downstairs to the school exit, luckily the library is on the 2nd Floor, so she hurries downstairs quickly, and goes to the school exit, it's 14: 30 sharp, she soon notices Scoot standing next to his limousine, probably waiting for her, Scoot always has a more serious face, but as soon as he notices Ana approaching, he gives her a smile, but he seems a little bothered by something, Ana then asks:
"Hello Scoot, is everything all right? You've been waiting, did I take too long?"
Scoot shakes his head in the negative and says:
"I'm... well, I've only just arrived, you're on time, you didn't answer the text message, so I thought you wouldn't come, I don't know..."
Ana rolls her eyes, it's true she only saw the message a few minutes ago, he should have at least sent an ok, or something, she apologizes and makes up an excuse:
"Ouch, I wrote a reply, but I must have forgotten to press send, I'm sorry."
Scoot is usually a very straightforward person, he doesn't usually beat around the bush when he has something to say, so he says it straight away:
"Oh, I thought you were hiding, I haven't seen you for two days."
Ana really was hiding, and soon notices that the students who are leaving through the school gate are looking at her and Scoot, and again whispering and laughing amongst themselves. She becomes uncomfortable again, and disguises herself as if she were trying to hide her face, and thinks:
"I wish I could be invisible at this time, if only I knew how to make a temporary invisibility potion."
Scoot notices that she's a little uncomfortable, but she doesn't miss the chance, she puts her hand on Ana's shoulder and leans in to look at her face closely and says:
"You've always looked comfortable next to me, just pretend there's only the two of us here, let's get in the car okay."
Just then, Justin and Luke are arriving at the school exit gate, Justin sees Ana with Scoot, next to the car, and without thinking too much he gets in front of Luke and stops him and says:
" Huh, I forgot an important piece of paper, we need to get back to the Student Guild Room, you need to sign it today!"
Luke doesn't remember leaving anything unsigned, so he hesitates for a moment and retorts:
"Justin I left everything in order, and we have to train I'm still doing double training..."
Justin doesn't let him finish and pushes him towards the school gate, while he checks that Ana and Scoot have already got into the car, he knows that if his brother sees Ana with Scoot it would make him very angry, Luke suspects something and looks behind him trying to find out what his brother is covering up, but he sees nothing, because Ana and Scoot have already got into the car while Justin distracts him, Justin breathes a sigh of relief, but soon afterwards Caroline appears to talk to them both:
"Hey guys, what are you doing standing here? Aren't you going to the party tonight?"
Justin and Luke look at each other. Confused, they don't know about any party, they're always invited, after all, everyone wants the Beckers to come to their parties, Luke loves parties and Justin, although he seems quieter, is also a party-goer. Luke retorts:
"We don't know, Caroline, whose party is it?"
Caroline replies without much thought:
"It's with the guys from the guild, it's at Scoot's house."
