(Amanda's pov)why is Zach been so rude?,Is he jealous or do they know each other?
Amanda just put on a smile as she told Seth their  relationship between Zach and her,"we're a couple so only he can flatter me"she said.
(Seth)well what a shame,I thought you were single," and btw what is a looser like you doing with this pretty lady"he told Zach.
Zach launched at him nearly hitting him when Amanda held him back and said,"he's not worth it".
Zach left  while Amanda followed him...
(Amanda) why are you so upset by a strangers silly comments?

Zach remained quiet as Amanda continued questioning him

(Amanda)Babe what's the matter?I thought I told him we're dating so I don't think he'll trouble me again calm down

(Zach)is it always about you!?,are you here to annoy me more or comfort me?
If you'll continue bickering just leave!

(Amanda) babe am sorry🥺,I didn't mean to annoy you ok I'll keep quiet till you calm down

(Zach)No am sorry😔,I got upset because of petty issues. It's just that Seth is not a stranger to me he's actually my half brother

Amanda looked at him so shocked that she even say down beside him

(Amanda) wait,what!?

(Zach) yeah,he actually came back last week and I've been avoiding him for a while but after he spoke to you I lost it

(Amanda) who's child is he?

(Zach)My mother had a child before getting married to my dad and I only found out 5yrs ago and it still creeps me out .
Seth and I don't really get along because we've always been put under the impression of ' who's the best' and for my mom Seth is always better than me and that's why I've done my level best to prove to her that am the better child but she still praises that brat.
Seth's childhood has  been quite easy,he has never had to prove to be competent
(Amanda) babe,you are enough and no body has the right to look down on you and you don't need anyone's validation for that
(Zach) thanks my lady without you I could have lost it along time ago
"Just promise to stay by my side even when the whole world is against me", Zach said to Amanda
"I'll always be there my love,2yrs of being together isn't a joke after all", Amanda replied.
(Zach)what do you say we get some lunch later am starving.
(Amanda)for sure my love☺️

Cecilia was by her desk that is next to Amanda's when she saw Amanda walking in looking lost,as Cecilia stood up to approach Amanda, Seth walked in behind her,

Apparently he was there to talk more about his campaign as the secretary to the candidate for school president.He noticed Amanda walking to her seat when he called her saying,"I am sorry for my behavior earlier,can we start over and become friends"
(Amanda's pov)why does my boyfriend's rival have to be so breath taking?🤤......his scent just makes me fantasies on different scenarios,how can a vilain look do good 😩
(Amanda)I don't talk to strangers.
(Seth) come on don't tell me he's brain washed you already.

(Amanda)I support my boyfriend and you disrespected him so I'll not become friends with one who doesn't know how to respect others

(Seth) that why I apologized,am sorry I offended you please forgive me🥺
(Amanda)"hell nah, I'd rather die than became  friends with a stranger"said Amanda
Cecilia watched the two argue as she stood beside the front desk
Amanda left Seth by the front of the class as she passed by Cecilia heading to her seat.

Cecilia followed Amanda and asked what was wrong
(Amanda)how could a hot guy be so obnoxious?
(Cecilia)what is that supposed to mean and how do you know him?I was just about to tell you about him but seems like you've met the guy🙄
(Amanda)well actually he's not just an ordinary person, he's Zach's brother
(Cecilia)WHAT!!!!, how come they look so different? Seth looks Korean and Zach looks almost Korean so what's the catch
"No wonder he's so hot"Cecilia mattered under her voice
(Amanda)they are half brothers. Zach's mother had Seth before marriage and the two hate each other like they are not even related
(Cecilia)oh that explains alot,but funny how they have the same taste in girls too
"What do you mean", Amanda asked.
(Cecilia)well just think about it why would Seth wanna talk to you out of all the girls in this school?,I mean that just says he likes you
(Amanda) don't be silly he just wanna be friends I guess but I won't accept his friendship he's too self centered
(Cecilia)Yoh!!,what if he's doing this to annoy Zach, cause you just said they hate each other
(Amanda)I guess you might be right,then I'll keep my distance from now on
(Cecilia)what?!, every girl would kill to be in your shoes ryt now
I mean I would love two gods fighting over me......

"It's too complicated,but I'll be careful don't worry.and btw I will forever choose Zach😌"Amanda said.
"I'd choose Seth", said Cecilia.
"Well go for it,you and I are almost the same person", Amanda said.
(Cecilia)so you mean am not good enough to be noticed as an individual unless I share similarities with you?,wow girl what an insult.🙄
(Amanda)I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way
"It's okay if I don't put up with your nonsense who else will😆", Cecilia said.
"I love you girl", Amanda said.
"I love you more", Cecilia said.

The two hugged as class was about to begin

.......THE NEXT DAY..........
Zach was about to head to school when Seth approached him.
(Seth)bro let's go together my car doesn't have enough gas,may I ride with you today?
(Zach) why don't you ask mommy?,am sure she'll get you a new car in seconds
(Seth) come on Zach,are you still upset about yesterday?
(Zach)look,I don't know why you're here and why you're picking your nose in my business but back off from Amanda...... leave her alone,if you want me to spare you don't even face her.
(Seth) come on she's just a girl let her decide who she wants to be with I believe I could be a better boyfriend than you
(Zach)wow!!!!
You're at it again.is your life just about competition?, Will you ever learn to live your life at your own terms?
"And don't you ever talk about my girl like that",Zach said while looking at Seth right in the eye
(Seth)chill bro am just bluffing,I just think she's hot that's all

Zach Punched Seth as he said,"don't talk about my girl!,you hear me!?"
"We'll see",said Seth as he walked away..........

Zach left in his car heading to school as he called Amanda.
Amanda answered,"hi babe"
"Meet me by the park"Zach said
"Why do you sound upset?,is everything okay?", Amanda replied
"Just meet me by the park",Zach answered as he cruised .
"Am on my way to school, and am  running late already. can't we meet after the first period?",she replied.
"No it's urgent",Zach said.
"Ok am near the park anyways,so I'll be there in 5 minutes", Amanda said.

As Zach arrived at the park,he saw Amanda by the swings and immediately came out the car

As he rushed to her she said,"hey babe".
Before she could say anything else he kissed her.....it was a passionate kiss as Zach gripped her waist , Amanda closed her eyes slowly as she fell into the moment.....

When they parted,Zach whispered,"never leave me, even if I shout at you or even after we argue never leave me".

Amanda remained speechless as the two hugged for a while
