HIS OWN SIDE OF THE STORY

"Thanks Nick," Claire muttered as both Nick and her got out of her car and he handed her the keys.

"Let's go get the materials we will need for our project tomorrow after school, okay?" he said to her and she nodded, and then turned, towards their small gate.

Nick too turned and started to move away from the gate, down the road.

Claire halted when she got to the gate and turned to see Nick walking down the road quickly. A smile curved her lips. She still didn't get why he had insisted on driving her home in her car. Now he was going to walk all the way home.

Before she had only been crushing on him but after her experience with him today; how he had comforted her in his own way, even taking her to his favorite place, and how he had driven her all the way home just to ensure she got home safely, her feelings for him only grew. Now she was so looking forward to their working together on the school project.

She chuckled as she recalled his earlier words.
