Valentines in highschool were torturous times, weren't they?
Seeing girls receiving all sorts of gifts while no one remembers to give you a piece a chocolate out of sympathy,
Like if you don't deserve to be loved.
And cherished.
When I walked inside the classroom in school break on valentine's day, girls were showing off their gifts, saying how romantic their boyfriends were..
One of them loudly said:
_" I heard Badro is dating Yassmine now, thank god his eyes are finally working better and he's seeing things clearly! A crow can never be a swan!"
She wanted me to hear that obviously, as if I needed another reason to hate valentines even more than I alredy did.
When I remember my high school days .. I regret not punching such people right in the faces more than anything else.
I just pretended I didn't hear a thing like the usual, and buried my head in my book.
I was about to fall asleep when suddenly someone starts to poke my shoulder, when I opened my eyes I was surprised to find Yassmine standing right in front of me.
_" good morning.. I'm sorry to bother you, but can I have a word with you alone?"
Confused I just nodded and started following her outside the classroom.
Yassmine was so beautiful..
Tall, with a sun kissed skin and rosy cheeks, an innocent smile and dark hair, when you look at her you'd never believe she went out with half the boys in the school.
You'd never believe she even had a first love yet, no wonder Rayan brought her such a beautiful neckless, who wouldn't love her so?
_" I'm badro's girlfriend now, I hope that's ok with you.. Isn't it?" She said directly confusing me.
_"isn't it?" She asked again,
So I nod my head and mumble:
_" Of course, I don't mind at all, and it's not my business either."
She smiled brightly then added:
_"since it's ok with you .. Can I please ask you for a favor? .. I'm not so proud with my past before him.. I really like him. So please can you not tell him anything about me?.. I promise not to hurt him."
I looked at her for a little time.. then just nodded again. Not that I trusted her, but because I hate getting involved with other people's personnal matters, and more importantly, I don't want to be the one to hurt Badro in anyway.
She smiled joyfully.. then surprisingly pulled me in a tight hug again, however, when she did so .. I felt how she was trembling like a wet bird in my hold.
Was she more nervous than she actually showed?
_" thank you" she whispered repeatedly in my ear.
She really liked him .. Didn't she?
In high school I thought I was the only one being hurt by all people, I didn't think I was capable of hurting someone too,
I had the potential to hurt Yassmine so effortlessly which I didn't even know of, I could easily turn Badro against her, but I chose to be the better person.
After she let go of me .. I gave her a smile then excused myself to go back to my class, but once I reached the classroom door someone suddenly came running from behind me then stepped in front of me and blocked my way.
When I lifted my head I found Rayan facing me, looking at me like if he wanted to kill me.
_" I saw you talking to yassmine " he said.
_" I did."
He quickly scanned the people around us in clear rage, then looked at me again and loudly yelled:
