(HAZEL POV)

FLASHBACK

"Thank you for dropping us off, Jerome." - Elisha said.

"No problem." - He smiled.

"Alright, we're going inside now. Take care." - Ami said, and then the two of them went inside. I, on the other hand, couldn’t move my feet.

I looked at him, and I swallowed hard.

"T-Take care on your way home." - I said.

He nodded and smiled.

"S-Sure, I’ll go inside now." - I said, then turned around and started walking away.

"Ahm, Hazel."

I stopped walking and turned around immediately. But when I turned, I saw his face right in front of me, and I was so surprised that I almost fell, but he quickly caught my back.

We just stared at each other.

It was night, and everything was so quiet that I could only hear the loud and fast beating of my heart.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh Hazel, snap out of it!

"A-Ahm..." - I was about to stand up properly when my knees suddenly weakened, and I grabbed his collar.
