I sat on Malcolm's bed while Reese was on his. I can't figure out why he acting like this. He's being to nice, I'm actually starting to get worried.

"If you're tired, you can sleep in my bed and I'll go into the living room and watch TV go something." Reese said, once again being nice.

He had been nice for the last couple of weeks and I just realized it now. I mean he still calls me names but not like before.

"No, it's ok. I should probably go home" I said, getting off Malcolm's bed.

"I know you don't want to, so if you don't want to be here either then we can just walk around?" He asks me.

"Uh actually that would be nice."

As we walked up and down the street, I noticed it looked like he wanted to tell me something or maybe ask. He stopped walking, so I did too.
He looked me in the eyes, his pupils were slightly more dilated than normal and he was fidgeting with the hem of his sweater. He looked nervous. He never looked nervous. What the heck?

So before anything weird happens I decide to speak my mind.
"Why have you been so nice to me lately? And don't give me the same excuse as earlier. I'm not stupid as everyone says I am. I can see that something has changed and I wanna know why." I sort of started to ramble by the end of my little speech that I didn't necessarily plan.

"Fine! You wanna know so bad, huh? Huh? I like you, Lilanna! Okay? And I don't know what that means and why but I just do!" He yelled obviously mad at himself that he likes me, maybe because he doesn't want to or maybe it's because I'm his brother's best friend.

I stand there looking at him.

"I- I don't know what to say." The second I said that I could see the visible distress and regret on his face and that made me regret even going to school today. He's semi-pacing in. He runs his fingers through his hair.

"I didn't mean it like that, Reese." I rush out, worried that he'll run off.

"No, then how did you mean it? You obviously don't like me, if anything you hate me. I made you hate me! I'm just stupid for thinking that you liked me!" Reese yelled and I can't blame him, he's stressing too. I know him he gets angry easily when he's stressed. I do too and you be honest. I'm stressed more like whatever comes after being stressed.

"I don't hate you, dumbass! I never did! You're the one who acted like you did so I had to pretend like I hated your guts for years! Do you actually think I've hated you this whole time? And pardon my language but for fucks sake, you're not stupid! your actually right for once!" I scream at him.

At this point, we're in a screaming match in the middle of the street at like 6 pm. This is too much for me to handle right now. I'm just thankful that it's a Friday and I don't have to go to school.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Reese choked out but it was still loud.

"Oh, my days! I've liked you for feels like forever, you idiot!" I say and walk off, I just can't handle doing this right now.

I could feel him staring at me as I walked away.

I walk into the door of my family's California home. I want to run away to France.

"Hey sweetheart, are you okay? Do you look upset?" My dad asked,
