บททั้งหมดของ His Book club : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Arian's pov “When the going gets tough, then the tough get going,” I told myself as I stepped out of the meeting room. I've spent two years in this college, going and coming without stress. But in the space of twenty four hours, everything changed. The school that was once my favourite place became the worst place. The stress-free life had become stressful as I walked from one office to another, begging the professors. The irony about life is that the people you thought would be there for you won't be there. They would always find excuses to leave you in times of trouble. The English professor, Professor Clark, sent me out of his office without a second glance. He said he didn't want to get involved in a student scandal.Now, I have no other plans than to go to my uncle. I hesitated in front of the door, my hand hovering just inches from the polished wood. One way or the other, his son is involved in this mess. So it is right for him to step in and help me clean the mess his son

Arian's pov “Let’s get you home,” Kael said after a long silence.“I'm not going anywhere with you Kael. I've thanked you for saving me. Can you just let it end there?” I said, feeling exhausted for the day. “I just want to take you to your house. You've had a rough day, giving you a ride is the least I can do,” Kael said with a calm tone.“What if I said no?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.“Then I won't accept your thank you,” he said.“Fine, I'll go with you. Please, just take me to my house. I'm not in the mood to go anywhere else,” I said, flashing him a warning look.” “Your wish is my command, senor,” he said, bowing slightly. I almost laughed. If I wasn't in a bad mood, I would have laughed. As we walked to his car, I thought of the questions I could ask him. How did he know Luke and his friends? Why were they afraid of him? And who is he? Like the real him?The car ride was silent for the first ten minutes. Not awkward silence. Just thick like the kind that holds unspoken th

Arian's pov “Who would have thought that you would be involved in underground races?” I manage to say after pushing the bitterness in my throat aside.“Who would have thought that you have never been to an underground race?” Kael retorted. “I don't do illegal things. I don't like trouble and I do well to stay far from it,” I said through gritted teeth.I won't want them to hear me call their shit illegal. When I say I don't want trouble, I really don't want it, not even the slightest. “As you can see, trouble seems to have found you,” he said. “Loosen up, Arian,” he added, winking at me.“Loosen up?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.Before he could reply, a guy came to him and whispered something into his ears. When the guy left, Kael turned to me. “I have a race now,” he said. I scoffed, disbelief washed over me. “What should I do about that?” He leaned in, his lips hovering close to my ear. “Scream my name, Arian.” With that, he ran off to the track. Literally, chill ran down my

Arian's pov I could stay in the car and think about the kiss but my fear of the dark and lonely road is worse than my fear of kael's action. But as I continue to drive, my hand unconsciously moves to my lips. The tingling sensation was still there as I touched them. I still can't believe it happened, I just really can't believe that Kael kissed me. Thanks to the map of his car, I got to his apartment without getting lost. Dragging him out of the car was a battle I could afford. But dragging him upstairs was a battle I hadn’t trained for. He wasn’t just heavy, he was deadweight. All muscle and zero cooperation.I had to pause several times as I dragged him upstairs. I paused at the door, I paused halfway through the stairs to catch my breath. Sweat trickled down the side of my neck as I looked for his room.“You better be dreaming of clouds and flowers after all this,” I muttered, struggling to keep his long limbs from banging into the handrail. When I finally got him to his room,

Arian's pov I crossed my arms and asked again, “Where are we going?” Kael didn't answer. He focused on his road, his mouth sealed. If I decided to keep quiet, he might drive me to somewhere worse than an underground race. I narrowed my eyes. “If you’re planning something stupid again, I’m getting out right now.” “Get out if you can,” he said without glancing at me. “I'm not in the mood for your bullshit, Kael. Stop the car and let me out. Some of us have problems that alcohol can't fix.” I think my word hit the right spot because he glared at me. If looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground. “Your smart mouth would get you into more trouble, Arian. I promise you.” I scoffed. “Are you threatening me? Do you think it is okay for you to drive me out of school?” “The last time I checked, I didn't force you to get in,” he said, his eyes drifting from my face to the road. “I thought you were going to school. I didn't know you would ditch school for somepla
