As the car pulled up, Rex lost his footing and ended up falling on top of Bella, causing a wave of shock to sweep over Jude and me. They quickly scrambled off each other, and Bella handed back his headphones. Despite the initial shock, she burst out laughing, and the others joined in, but I couldn't muster a laugh; I was still too stunned. I turned away and stared out the window.
Lily and Alex wore the same dumbfounded expressions I had when I first saw the car. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one taken aback by Bella's choice of vehicle. The moment Jason opened the door for them, Lily and Alex voiced exactly what was on their minds.
"Wow! This is so cool," Lily exclaimed, surprising me.
"You are the best, Lily," Jude outrightly said, glad that Lily didn't react the way I did.
"But won't this attract the attention of the media?" Alex asked, echoing my thoughts, and I was relieved I wasn't the only one concerned.
