4. You've Been Hit By A Smooth Criminal

Isabela Moner or Merced now as Stefani

Happy reading!

Savannah and Khalifa were finally alone at last, and she genuinely felt as though this day would have never really come.

She had had feelings for him since goodness knew when and she had always wanted to tell him, she just didn't know how to.

Now was the right time to do so.

There weren't many people around them, more people were inside more than outside thankfully. It was either now or never.

Josiah, Reminisce and Kaiden had just gone to a shop because Kaiden didn't like what he was wearing.

They had all just arrived at Santorini State of the Arts for its induction. That had just left Savannah and Khalifa now, with Savannah thinking of what to say to it.

Screw it, she had thought to herself after a while. Imma just improvise. How hard can it be?

Very hard. They didn't really have anything in common.

Their conversation wasn't even long enough for Savannah to figure this out though, which was the problem.

"Khalifa?"

He was texting someone, stopping when he had heard Savannah say his name.

He frowned a little, freaking her out as well.

He's not happy. I probably interrupted something important, didn't I?

"What do you want, shawty?" He had asked her, not even looking at her.

He called me shawty! That means fine lady!

No, don't think too much about it. You're overthinking this, Savannah. Just tell him you like him and get the hell out of this situation already.

She didn't even care if things had gone badly, she just wanted to tell him. It had been five years.

At least they knew each other already.

They had just never really talked to each other before.

Khalifa didn't even like her because her sister didn't.

Savannah didn't like Reminisce because she had falsely accused her of cheating in a test, mistaking her for someone else.

It probably wasn't a mistake though. Reminisce knew Savannah had feelings for Khalifa, who was with someone else.

Back at that time anyway.

Reminisce had seen the way she had looked at him, like she wanted something bad to happen to his girlfriend.

"I need to tell you something."

He had looked at her dead in the eyes, tilting his head to the side.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Okay. Just breathe.

Forget the fact that Reminisce used to dislike you. She's your friend now.

And so is Khalifa!

I think?

They hadn't really talked today. She had noticed Khalifa staring at her at few times, but knowing him, he probably didn't even know he was staring.
