Lie To Me Alpha novel Chapter 21

Cora dropped her bags beside me on the ground

"I heard from your parents that you are going to your grandma's house over the weekend."

I uprooted some grass and threw it before me randomly "yeah" I deadpan at her.

"What's with the face? Don't you like visiting your grandma"

"No I would love to but it's kind of far and I am going by train since my parents are pretty busy"

I stood up from the ground dusting off the dirt from my uniform then sling my bag over my shoulder.

"OHHH I didn't know they could be on our campus"

I look to where she's looking and finds Matteo laughing at something Jay's says.

"Yeah our English teacher brought them on campus, something to do with knowledge exchange or something. It's almost the end of school year and she just brought for what I wonder"

Cora nodded her head in amuse "that is strange, usually every year we do not allow any male students on our compound but interesting to see we are accepting their help"

I shrugg my shoulders "come on let's go, I have to go before I miss the train to my grandma's Pack and you have your cheer to get ready to."

She huff "yeah I wish I could go with you but our cheer camp is this weekend" she said walking beside me making our way to the bus.

We made it home and Cora went straight to prepare for her camp cheer.

When it's six a car stopped in front of the house "Cora, Janice is here" she quickly run down from the stairs hugging me then continue to go

"have fun" I call after her.

'What are you a mom' Alera says through our link and I shut her up.

I was almost done with packing when a knock was heard on the door. It was strange cause I didn't expect any other visitor.

The last bus around here is seven and the last train to my grandmother's Pack is 8pm.

Quickly I threw in my last clothe zipped my suitcase and pull it with me downstairs. I left it in the doorway and went to look through the doorbell hole and saw Gia standing outside.

"Hey"

I awkwardly wave my hand to her after opening the door. She look behind me and saw my suitcase

"you're going somewhere today" "yeah I have to visit my grandma" the door was still open ajar.

"Would you like to come in?" she was hesitate for a moment.

"I probably shouldn't, you have somewhere to go" she wipes her hands on her skirt.

I take a look back and saw my dad's first car keys hanging on the wall near where he usually leave other keys to.

His 1969 dodge charger along with his old pickup are hanging.

An idea forms in my head and Alera warns me that my father wouldn't approve. She also reminds me my mother last warning if I am ever to be driving the car without a licence but I ignore her.

"It's okay I'll use my dad's car. Now come in" and so we talk for while catching up on things and she has apologize again for her behaviour but I told her it's all in the past.

When it's time for her to leave I saw the time it was 9:00pm

"Are you sure you can use your dad's car" I nodded my head
