A month passed by and tomorrow would be our flight to take a vacation to Korea.
Ever since Dad told us that I've been preparing my speech if ever I see him. I feel so pressured, I don't know what to do. I'm not ready.
"You are staring in the air again". I go back to myself when Brent slapped my shoulder when he sat in front of me, we're eating lunch together.
Yes, you heard that right. After what happened to the beach we decided to forget that and become friends. It's not a big deal to me honestly, I'm just shocked. I'm fine with it and we're good so no need to worry about it.
"I'm not". I defended and took a bite on the burger.
We are at the mall, since the school year just ended a week ago and we set a day to go out before I leave for the break.
"You are. I don't get you, if you don't want to go then don't". He knows that I don't want to go back but not the reason, too early to tell him that.
"Have you met my brother?". I asked him, and he shook his head.
"Then you don't know how stubborn he is. He ignored me for the whole week when I told them I don't want to go". I rolled my eyes thinking that again.
"They are all so stubborn. My friends there are ignoring me too, they are all sulking". Yvette and I haven't talked to each other after that happened. While Daniel sometimes messaging me, asking how I am and then going back like nothing.
I hate that this is happening to us. I never imagined this, and I hate it!
"Don't you really want to date me?". I got choked when he suddenly changed the topic.
"W-what?!". I drank water before speaking.
"I told you already, just friend!". I widened my eyes looking at him.
Brent told me that he likes me and he wanted to go out with me but I told him that I don't feel the same. We can be friends and nothing more than that, I can't offer what he wants.
"Don't you want to go out with this man?". I arched my eyebrows with disgust on my face.
"Dude, stop mixing hand washing soap as your coffee. That is not good for your health". I snickered, he laughed.
"Why don't you go out with me? what is stopping you?". I shook my head laughing at him.
"Shut up, Brent. I can't and I will not!-". He shoved fries in my mouth to stop me talking.
"Whatever, Zia". He laughed at me.
After a couple of hours we decided to go home. He dropped me off.
"Don't forget to call me when you got there and update me everyti-"
