"Why are you following me?" Raeleigh asked when she realised that Zorion was following her. He glanced around, nobody paid them any mind. He smiled at her, "did you tell me to not follow you?"
Looking around and realising she did not have a way to make him leave, Raeleigh gave in.
"I am going to visit my grandmother. Would you like to give me a ride?" If she could not get rid of him, he might as well be of use to her.
Right away, Zorion led the way out of school. The moment his set foot outside the school gates, the Whalen's family car drove up to meet them. Like a gentleman, Zorion opened the car door and gestured for Raeleigh to get in.
Raeleigh climbed into the car with Zorion right on her heels she did not notice his bright and happy smile.
In the car, Zorion made sure to give Raeleigh some space. He took out a book that he enjoyed and handed it to her.
"Here, if you're bored, you can read this book."
Raeleigh glaced at the book in Zorian's hand then back up at him. After a brief hesitation, she took the book from him, leaned back and began to read.
To be honest, the book was not very appealing to her. After all, it was a romance novel, not an automotive design book.
Raeleigh rarely read books that were not on automotive designs. Her interest was in automotive designs, that was pretty much the only books she read.
Between conversing with Zorian and reading a boring book, she chose the safer option.
As calm settled in the car, Raeleigh began to feel a little dizzy from reading so she closed it and leaned her against the car door.
"Stop the car!" Zorion instructed the driver. The driver immediately pulled over by the side of the road and looked at Zorion through the rearview mirror, wondering why he was ordered to stop driving.
Zorion took the book from Raeleigh and put it aside the book. Gently raising her head, he frowned down at her. "Are you alright?"
Raeleigh shook her head. She felt a little weak.
"I feel dizzy. It must be motion sickness."
Raeleigh figured that reading in a moving vehicle triggered her motion sickness. She should better now that she stopped.
Zorion gently released Raeleigh head and sat beside her. "Do you still feel unwell?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "No."
"I'm going to take you to the hospital."
"I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm fine. It's just a little dizziness."
Raeleigh did not think it was necessary to go to the hospital, but Zorion was adamant and had instructed the driver to drive them to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, he immediately grabbed hold of Raeleigh's hand and led her to the emergency room.
Raeleigh struggled out of his hold and crossed her hands behind her back.
Zorion whirled round to glare at Raeleigh.
Before Zorion could say a thing, Raeleigh pointed out, "you may not mind being intimate with other girls, but I do."
Zorion crossed his arms, "I do mind."
Raeleigh nodded, "I can go in by myself."
"After you," Zorion stepped aside and gestured for Raeleigh to enter first.
Zorion walked beside Raeleigh to the emergency room, silently observing her out of the corner of his eyes.
After the examination, the doctor handed Zorion
the report. He frowned down at it.
Hypoglycaemic?
"What is it?" Raeleigh tried to get a good look at her report but when she reached out to grab the report he moved away and shoved it into his pocket.
