I was looking out the window as if I was trying to check on and remember the streets and turns that the car took from Pete's ' place to my university as I was trying to act casually at the back seat of his car when the fact was, I was not retaining any information as I was adamant to ignore the guy in front of me, on the wheels.

Just when I thought I was able to successfully avoid him and suddenly, the taxis and car booking services decided to be fully booked when I needed them that I ended up where I planned on not being-with him-in his car-alone.

After that creepy dream and I took an unplanned shower, I holed up in my room for some time and decided that I didn't want to see Pete.

But later on I realized that it would be impossible to do so given the situation that we have, and so, I ended up devising a plan to avoid being with him alone as much as a possible.

That was why I tried all my might to go around the place as quietly as possible when I peeked outside and saw that the house was still deserted and went straight to the kitchen to prepare myself some breakfast.

All those creepy dream and waking up early made me all hungry.

Good thing I was a little confident to handle the kitchen now that I was back then.

I was browsing through the pantry when I noticed a movement.

I stayed still and froze in my place as I saw a sleepy Pete sauntered towards the living room.

He just looked at me before he went back to clearing the coffee table quietly and I stood there wondering whether or not I should cook him breakfast too.

Two things if I only prepare breakfast for my self.

One.

Pete would definitely walk up to me an give me an earful.

I didn't want that.

I wanted him away.

Two.

I'm not sure what the second option was but it would still constitute Pete and I interacting and again--I didn't want that.

And so, after a few minutes of internal debate, I ended up deciding to cook for two.

Now, the next hurdle, what to cook!?!

That was how I ended up pacing back and forth trying to decide for myself and just when I was about to thank god Pete didn't interfere he was suddenly in front of me and I just had to tell him straight that I didn't want to have anything to do with him at the moment.

And he acquiesced.

But in the end, I still got stuck with him in his car.

But at least I didn't get to sit beside him.

"What?"

I asked after I swallowed dryly and Pete caught my eye in the rearview mirror.

"We're at your uni, where do I go?"

I blinked multiple times in discord before I understood what he was trying to say.

"Right. Right. Uhm, just drop me off the main building."

I said as I looked away and I wondered why we were not moving right after we got passed the main gate.

I looked back up front and saw him still in the rearview mirror.

"And I'm supposed to know where that building is, how?"

Right.

The guy works at a different university which was located the opposite way.
