Lucas finished his office work. Even though he was attending university, he was doing an internship at the same time, so that his chances of getting hired increased.
It was already evening by the time he got off. He got in the car his father had bought for him and started driving.
Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of his car.
Lucas's eyes widened. He slammed his foot on the brake with all his strength. The tires screeched loudly, and the car came to a sharp stop just a few feet away from the person.
His heart pounded in his chest. "What the heck...?" he muttered under his breath.
Lucas quickly opened his car door and rushed out. A girl stood there, right in the middle of the road, staring at him as if she had been waiting for this.
She looked... oddly cheerful. Her hair was messy, her clothes simple, but there was something strange in her eyes.
