❝You, Zaiah Dolivo, deserve my tears, my laughter, my happiness, my sadness. And you definitely deserve my pancakes. You deserve everything.❞
30,000 euros is a lot right?
That's what Nevaeh thought when she accepted the deal with Zaiah.

Today Tamara could not get to school because she is sick. Apparently, she ate too much on yesterday's date. Now I'm at the station and I'm waiting for the school bus to show up.
It's not the first time I've been going by bus. Before I befriended Tamara, I was walking — ok, ok I was running hoping I won't miss the bus — here.
There are a few students at the station that I see every day at school. I greet them and they do the same. I sit down on a nearby bench and turn on the music in my headphones. "Paper rings" by Taylor Swift is the first song that delights my ears and I'm not complaining. It's one of my favourite songs. I still have to learn how to make paper rings. Even though some time ago I knew how to do them some, I completely forgot over time. My dumbass memory.
"I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings." Taylor is blessing my ears.
I love this verse.
The bus makes its presence after a few minutes and I get on it. The only free seats are in the back so I rush to catch them. And I did and some teenagers looked at me with hatred. But I shrug. I won already.
I put myself in the place next to the window and the music continues to play.
When we get close to school someone touches my hand and I turn my gaze to that person. I see Delyanie. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a smile of millions but a bad personality. "What happened?"
"Is it true that Carl invited your friend to next month's charity ball?" she asks in a false and pithy tone.
"Yes. Why?" I frowned with my eyebrows because I was confused. Isn't he allowed to?
She sighs dramatically and seems upset. "Maybe I have another chance with Zaiah," she tells one of her friends and leaves for her place.
The bus stops and everyone gets out of the car.
I walk into the building and I see the same faces that I see every day. I had the temptation to look for Tamara but I remembered that she is not in school.
How I'm I going to survive without her?
Tamara has been my best friend since we were little and has always been there when I needed it. We grew up together and I will always be loyal to her. Like she was to me. I was pretty rebellious when I was little and she always lied to cover the truth.
The most rebellious thing I did was eat dirt but it was a badass moment at that time.
On the way to class, someone pulls me by the hand and pulls me into a room. The person covers my mouth and my heart starts beating harder. "I'll let you go and you're not going to scream ok?" Zaiah's familiar voice resounds in my ears and I calm down.
