Skyler never expected that the song she wrote would be so well-loved. Now, wherever she went, she could hear her own song, and it was truly a delightful experience. "I didn't think it that far," she'd say with a shrug, "I am just focusing on learning and making music for a living."
Zavier's voice broke through his musings, "Hey, come have dinner with me tonight. We need to talk about all this buzz you're creating."
"Sure thing," Skyler replied.
"Meet me at the South Gate now, I'm waiting for you."
"On my way," Skyler said, and with that, she grabbed her jacket, not bothering to change her clothes, knowing full well how precious Zavier's time was.
Emma caught her just as she was leaving. "Did you add Zavier? What were you two chatting about? Rushing off like this, is it a date?"d2
"A date? No way, he wants to discuss work stuff," Skyler retorted.
"You dummy, work my foot! He's just using that as an excuse to take you out."
Skyler didn't buy it for a second. "Gotta go. I'll bring something back for you guys. What do you want to eat?"
"Wait till Amanda gets back. We'll text you," Emma laughed.
"Deal."
Skyler made a beeline for the South Gate, spotting Zavier's unmistakable red sports car from a mile away. That guy never knew the meaning of 'low-key'.
A crowd of students had gathered nearby, buzzing with speculation about Zavier. Skyler quickly got into the car, "People are talking. Let's get out of here. I don't want to be on display."
Instead of driving off, Zavier cheekily lowered the convertible's top, giving the onlookers a show.
