As I drove past a puddle I realized I had splashed it on someone
I stopped to apologize and Saw Deeya approaching me with a furious look.
I wasn't ready to face her so I dashed off.
Feeling guilt creep inside my heart, I reversed back to give her my jacket to cover the mess I made.
And there I spotted a guy about my age wrapping a hoodie around Deeya.
I was happy she was getting help, but why was I burning at the sight of her with another man?
When I got home I searched for her number in our class group and texted her to meet up with me for our project.
But honestly, it was just an excuse to see her again. And for what? I don't know myself.
I was pretty hurt that she didn't show up.
The next day at school I saw her riding with her friends and I tried to approach her but she and her friends stopped by a group of boys.
And Deeya started conversing with a boy whom I soon noticed to be the guy that helped her the last time.
He was clearly flirting with her but that girl is too naive to notice a thing.
It was too painful to watch so I drove off.
At school, I wanted to speak to her so badly but remembered she and that guy on the way to school and got angry.
And what did I do?
I did the most childish thing ever. I went over to her locker and vented my anger on her.
I watched as her emotions switched from angry to confused to scared.
I felt really bad and to stop myself from doing worse I walked away.
