She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 39

"Devina!" I heard Gillie call from down the hall.

"Hey sorry. I got caught up with something." We walked into the crowded cafeteria together and my eyes nearly bulged. Every single table was filled with laughing and shouting teenagers. "Is it always like this?" I tried to whisper, but it was no use. I couldn't even hear myself talk.

"Yup. Let's go, Henry saved us some seats." She lead me to the back and plopped down next to Henry. They exchanged a brief kiss and Henry put his arm around her shoulders and pulled Gillie into his side. Once again, I felt jealous at the intimacy.

"Hey guys, I think I'm just gonna go home early." Gillie frowned and shook her head. "I'm done with all my classes anyways."

"No! How are you going to get back home?" Home.

"I'll call Za- Dylan. He'll come." I gathered all my things up, hugged them goodbye and hurried outside. Pulling my phone out, I groaned. I don't even have Dylan's number. Without hesitation, I texted Zane.

"Hey, where r u?" I texted and hit send. Within seconds my phone chimed and I looked at the message.

"None of ur business." It read. My heart dropped and I turned my phone off. Guess I'm walking. I was glad he said that it would be super awkward if I asked him for a ride. I hugged my sides and started walking towards the house.

"Need a ride?" I heard someone pull up next to me and ask. I turned to look at the boy and smiled.

"No thanks. I'm almost there." He nodded but continued driving slowly next to me. "Thanks though." I tried to send him a hint but he just chuckled.

"I'm not just going to let someone like you walk all alone. I'll just drive slowly next to you until you get to your destination." I raised my eyebrows.

"Someone like me?" He grinned and nodded.

"Yeah, beautiful." My face flushed as he complimented me. More like flirted, but I'll let it slide. "Come on. Just let me give you a ride. I won't try anything." You already are. I thought but chose against saying it out loud.
