"Alexis, wait up!"
Alexis turned sharply at the sound of his name being called. The voice was unmistakable, but it wasn't one he expected to hear that day. Alicia. Of course, it was Alicia. He hadn't seen her around much lately, and now, of all days, she was running toward him, her breath coming in short bursts, from behind a sleek, shiny Porsche Taycan parked just a few meters away from the curb.
"What the...?" Alexis raised an eyebrow as he watched her jog toward him, looking far too composed for someone who had just sprinted at full speed. "Did you really get out of your mum's car just to walk with me?" His voice was tinged with disbelief as he tried to process the oddity of the situation.
