For him, the whole world was on fire except her.
And he didn't let a single flame touch her.
For her, she herself was on fire.
And she protected the whole world from her flames.
Especially him.

I just finished my last period of the day and school was now over. I would go to the rink to skate but I got to admit skating by yourself is no fun. So I decided to visit the library. Maybe I could borrow some books, at least reading could be a healthy way to keep my mind off things.
As I was walking to my car I heard footsteps running towards me. Oh, joy! this day couldn't get any better. Note the sarcasm.
"What do you want mason?"
"Why do you always think that people want something when they talk to you?"
"Because people always want something. And I'm speaking with experience". I remember in my old school I was trying so hard to make friends but the only reason they talked to me was that I was Noah's sister and they wanted his phone number but little did they know he was gay. And when I tell the truth, they all vanish as if we never talked. So yeah the only few friends I ever had and didn't expect anything in return ended up leaving to move on with their lives and I was led back to square one. Sometimes I wonder whether I have avoidant personality disorder since I fear abandonment so much.
"Yeah, true I actually do want something", and I love how no one proves me wrong.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know we were on 'asking each other for favours' basis," I tell as I reached my car door.
"Come on Rhea. Please, I just want you to talk"
"Everything comes with a price so what is it?"
"I want you to talk to your mother and tell her to talk to my father on sending me to Luke's party," He asked.
"Aren't you turning eighteen and you still need to ask permission?"
"not really, but I have to since I'm grounded"
"Fine, you are not going to drink and you are dropping me home"
"Deal". I give him a not so nice smile, got into my car and drove to the library.

I borrow a copy of pride and prejudice even though I've read it before.
When I was ten I found my love for reading and when I asked for books as my birthday gift my father always brushed it off and bought me something else. I never asked why because I was so very scared of him. My father told, that the only thing I need to pay attention to was school and nothing else. so reading was strictly prohibited in our house and as to my younger brother Jared, he loved football so much. So much that he pasted posters of world-famous football players inside his cupboard so that no one would see them. My father was a big believer that extracurricular activities is a waste of time. But, as for Noah, it was a completely different scenario. He was given every single thing he ever wanted. He had his freedom and he was loved not only by my parents but with everyone and that's why he never told them that he was gay because he was too afraid that he'd loose what he has and his siblings doesn't.
