Those  eyes.....I couldn't resist looking at them, "of course she would take a drive" Emily chip in, I turned to stare at her, " move! she  whispered shoving me gently, "I can't I whispered to her, I had my reason",  if he act as if he was not in the same level as I was why did he want on drive me to school I thought  "Rebecca, Emily stare hard at me, I heaved a sigh "OK, I turned to him  "I won't mind" I waved Emily bye before going with him, I wanted to ask him so many question, who he was, his name and everything else, " you can ask me any question you want, I will answer you sincerely" he spoke, I turned in surprise to look at him, how does he know I had a lot of question to ask him, "you look curious and that also explains your behavior today" he turned to look at me before turning to the wheel, "of course am curious who won't be, I don't even know you the man driving me to school",  " Then ask me your question and I will answer you"  he turned looking at me with a smile on his face, a smile which warm me and make me very curious, I felt cold, nervous and.....I don't know, I just wanted to reach toward him and touch his face, to watch him smile down at me, gosh!! how can I be having this kind of feeling from someone I rarely knows,  "Are you OK your sweating, I jerked coming to my sense, " Am...am OK"I replied, why this damn feeling, "what your name" I asked trying to clear the air " my name is Sam "he answered  and here we are" he said, I turned finding out that we were already at my school gate, "um...
