[Chapter-XXIV]

"Absolutely not. She has only given me her number." I smirked at him. "And need to mention, she has also told me not to give anyone her number." Cameron rolled his eyes at me.

"But what are you guys doing here?"

"I can't believe Destiny Frazen agreed to hang out with you bro. She likes you." Lucas exclaimed. "She definitely likes you."

"She doesn't like me. Why would she like someone as me? She has rejected every guy in the school, even Dexter and Cameron and they are popular."

"She said she'd meet you tomorrow."

"So? It doesn't mean she likes me and why were you spying on me?" I said, crossing my arms over my chest, while they let out a nervous chuckle.

"Chill dude." Lucas shrugged.

"Hold on a second, how do you already know that she rejected me?" Cameron asked me, raising his eyebrow.

"Erm.." I looked over Lucas.

"Kingsley." Cameron glared at him.

Lucas let out a nervous chuckle. "I swear, I didn't tell him anything CC."

"You better not be lying." He glared, sending a slight punch to his stomach, making me chuckle. "Jerk."

"Oh yeah." I said, catching their attention, "I forgot to tell you, I got my phone." I said, grinning.

"We already knew that." Lucas replied in a boring tone.

"Wouldn't you ask me, what phone did I get?"

"IPhone?"

"I have IPhone X!" I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

"Great, now add my number and download Instagram and Tik Tok." Cameron stated.

"What's Instagram and Tik Tok?"

"Instagram is where you can share and edit photos and videos and Tik Tok allows you to create videos on any topic. It's awesome." He told me.

"Sounds cool."

"But you need to create an account first." Lucas blurted out.

"I know." I said laughing a bit.

I unlocked the front door, taking off my shoes and walking into the living room where I saw Dad standing with a suitcase.

Shoot. How could I forget that Dad is leaving for the UK today?

"Hey Dad." I greeted him.

"Hey." He smiled.

"Do you really have to go on a business trip?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have a meeting and it's crucial for me to attend. Thibbault will watch over you, okay?"

"Yeah.." I sighed.

Thibbault entered the living room, "Have you left the money?" He asked Dad.

"How could I forget such an important thing?" Dad replied, sarcastically.

He laughed in response. "Thanks."

Dad picked up his car keys and luggage and stood at the front door.

"Maverick. I'm leaving." He shouted in the direction of the stairs.

Not more than a minute later, I saw Maverick running downstairs. He ran towards Dad and hugged him.

"Come here." Dad called me softly, his arms wide open.

I hugged him and gave him a quick smile, he then gave Thibbault and Elliot a quick hug.
