Chapter FIFTEEN

　　  I leave the house in a rush with my bag dangling off my forearm as I quickly put my studded earrings on.

　　Cullum opens the door smiling. After I get into the car. He slips into the driver’s seat, pulls on his seat belt, starts the engine, and pulls out into the early mornings' free-flowing traffic. Minutes later he pulls up in front of the Academy and opens the back door for me. I take his offering hand and slide out of the car fixing my shirt.

　　“Thanks, Cullum, You’re the best.” I smile at him.

　　“Have a good day,” I say as I step back, and take my bag from his hand.

　　“You're welcome Miss Maddison, I’ll be here waiting with Luca for your lunch date around mid-day.”

　　He closes the door, looks back at me and a scowl washes over his pleasant face as a hand lands on my shoulder.

　　[Hi] “Malo Nessa.” I look over my shoulder to see who Cullum is frowning at. 

　　"Sanz, Hi." I greet him, sounding a tad bit more annoyed than I should.
