Aleeyah's pov

I wake up, pray, greet my parents, do all the mundane things I do every morning untill it's time to leave for school.

It's been two weeks since Khalid had that injury and I still remember it like it was yesterday, I didn't plan for things to turn out the way they did. I felt so bad when I watched him limp to the clinic, Shiloh and the others tried to cheer him up but I couldn't say anything. I felt helpless because I didn't know what to do then I practically chased everyone to spend time with him

Khalid has become a very important part of my life, our arguments were like fun debating sessions and I knew he cared about me. He was always ready to help in the smallest of ways and I couldn't deny the fact that I like how intelligent he is , I like how kind and reserved he is, I like his stubborn and sarcastic side.... I like all of him really his smile, his hair  and how he managed to look good in anything.

I decide to walk today and clear my head, the weather is beautiful this morning, the wind blows gently, and the sun has an amazing yet cool glow and I sing the lazy song by Bruno mars quietly to myself while admiring the beauty of everything

I don't know if Khalid took me seriously about the asking properly but I guess I'll find out today, I get to school feeling different things at once

Walking into class I see Shiloh talking to Ian, everyone is just pretending to be okay. I love my friends but they're all behaving like children. It's going to blow up soon enough.

"Aleeyah, hiii" Shiloh notices me and almost trips trying to meet me by the entrance

"What has got you in such a good mood?" I raise a brow, she's acting suspicious

She thinks for a few seconds then starts

"Aleeyah you're the best when it comes to chemistry and I need you to explain a few concepts, can you stay behind a little?" She asks with her failed attempt at puppy dog eyes. I know she's up to something because she is extremely good with chemistry but I don't push.

"As long as we don't stay too long " I tell her and she hugs me

"Thank you so much, it'll be worth it"

"Uhmm okay? Anyways let's go sit, classes start in...." I check my time before adding "five minutes" we go sit and start talking to the boys but Khalid is extra quiet today.

Today moves by fast and I'm already tired but I have to stay back for lesson with Shiloh, she seems more hyper than usual but I try not to think about it. Khalid barely spoke to me, we didn't even argue....I guess he forgot.

The lesson with Shiloh was extremely long, it felt like she was intentionally trying to keep me and I was getting tired

"Shiloh, it's getting late and we're still on question 2" I sigh genuinely too tired to pretend I'm not

"I'm sorry, I really want to get this...." She looks at the wall clock and it's 5:40 as if something clicks she starts packing all the books "you know what? I'm really tired too, I think I'll be able to do the rest" she yawns

Is she serious? Well I decide not to question her and we start leaving

By the time we're out of the class I ask
"Did you carry my calculator?"

She gasps "I completely forgot, I'm so sorry guyy but you have to go get it my mum called and she said it's really urgent"

"When did your mother...you know what? It's fine just go I'll walk home alone, where is it?" I shake my head, whatever is wrong with her is not my problem

"Inside your desk, I love you so much byeee" she runs out and I go back to class thinking about how weird that was

I enter the class and raise my desk but I don't see the calculator instead I see chocolate lots of it and a note that says
"Chocolate's to match your beautiful chocolate skin, go to our table in cafeteria" I smile knowing who sent this

I rush to the cafeteria and I can't hide my excitement, I don't see anyone but on the table I see flowers, a CD with my name and another note "I couldn't think of anything cute to write here but come to the back of class" I laugh and go there but the place looks deserted

I contemplate leaving but then I see Khalid dressed casually with ______
He looked cute and I didn't know what to say

"You said I should ask properly so I'm doing it now, I'm not used to all the emotional stuff, I'm not good at this but one thing I know is everyday I spend with you makes me want to spend more, it's never enough, you're an amazing person and I don't like sharing so can I be your boyfriend?" He stretches his hand out and I take it

"Yes, yes and yes" I smile the brightest smile I can give him

He releases a breath I didn't know he was holding "oh thank God, I spent a lot on everything and wouldn't be able to live down another no"

I laugh "wouldn't want that now would we?"

"It's late but we have one more stop then we can call it a day?"

He brings out a blindfold "don't tell me you want to kidnap me" I put my hand on my head acting scared

"Not yet at least now stay still and follow my lead" I oblige and he blindfolds me then places a soft peck and my cheek

He leads me on a short walk and then he removes the blindfold. There's a blanket on the floor with all my favourite snacks and his speaker is playing my favourite song

"When did you find the time to do this?" I gasp

"Welll... Shiloh bought me time" he says looking shy

I hug him and thank him and send a silent prayer to God to bless Shiloh, her weirdness makes sense now. I'll deal with her tomorrow.

We eat and talk and stay like that for some time before I need to go home, my parents might get worried.

Today was the best day ever and when I get home I realize my mother doesn't want to kill me because Shiloh called her saying we had an important school project and I was with her all day.

I love that girl.
