Chapter 25-Teach Me Senpai
Helanie:
I had left the hostel much earlier than the others would have even woken up. I needed to see what my new job entailed, and I wanted to work every hour to make the most of it.
The busier I was, the better I felt about myself. By that, I mean I didn’t think about that night or those haunting chuckles.
"This is where you will be working," Maximus stated, standing beside me and showing me a garage next to an abandoned building. I didn’t know what part of town it was, but there seemed to be deserted houses and structures around. He had driven me here when I met up with him in front of the academy in the morning.
It was a huge garage where he had some old cars and several wooden tables scattered with an assortment of tools.
"When was the last time someone cleaned your garage for you?" I asked, my hands tied under my abdomen. I avoided how pumped his biceps looked. He must work out every morning and probably every hour to look so insanely muscular.
"What do you mean by someone else doing it for me? I can do it myself. I’ve done it before," he replied, sounding proud and full of himself, even when I could tell he wasn’t good at cleaning up after his mess. If he were, his garage wouldn’t resemble the aftermath of an earthquake.
"Really, I can see," I said, taking a deep breath and exhaling as I managed to walk ahead through all the debris on the ground. It was an extremely spacious area filled with so much garbage that I began to wonder how much I would make by the end of the week.
"It’s not so bad," Maximus commented from behind me, probably trying to downplay his messy lifestyle.
"Well, I will be the one deciding that," I said, tilting my head. I had just turned around when I heard his comment.
"You should move your hands instead of running your tongue."
