There he was, stood by his locker looking exceded with happiness as he couldn't stop singing he was getting married to Anikka, Anikka being the same person I loved, the same person who confessed loved me too, the same person who had stumbled on her words in shock as she accepted in marrying Khalid.
He bounced his basketball and ran off like a mad man, giggling away with his friends. I would've imagined myself acting that exact same way if I was in his situation.
"gosh, how could she have said yes to this guy?" I disappointedly scoffed. "how could she have said yes to this guy, a... a-" gosh he was just perfect though, I couldn't name one feature he had I wouldn't want. He was tall, shaggy, his hair curlier then springs, gosh he was perfect. (ay I just want Sith to get jealous nothing more)
I sighed and dropped my head. I was so fed up with not bieng able to talk to Anikka anymore, let alone "breath in the same air as her" as her parents would say. I let out another sigh and let my pale palm slide across the top of my head, pushing my hair away from my eyes.
As i was lost in my thoughts a sudden whisper took me by surprise. "let's run away." her soft voice always increased my heart rate, her Ruff touch of the 'R' coming from her light Spanish accent recoiled threw my ears and bounced on my heart. She ran away just before I had made sense of what she had just said.
Run away?
The bell rung, and school ended with me having to leave early so then maybe bieng able to talk to Annika threw texts, mainly beacuse I didn't want to get killed by her parents that hated the sight of me, but also it seemed more natural, as we both where extremely awkward with eachother.
I got up along with the rest of the class who where heading to the main part of the school, waiting for their parents to come fetch them, I headed straight for the gates and made it on my route home.
Still confused as to what Annika had whispered to me about, Khalids presence was enlitend by mine, he was walking in the same direction as I was, but he happend to be on the other side of the road, he glanced at me and took a second, trying to figure out if he knew me or not. A sudden jump of realization had him running across the road and next to me. "yo, your Sith, right?" he gestured with his hand.
I wouldn't have imagined him really knowing who I was. I bieng strongly against interactions with other students besides my very limited some would say worthy companions (literally nobody would say that).
I looked over my shoulder to see him fixated on my left pocket or something, it didn't really have me trying to figure out anything at that moment. "ye, Sith." I replied. "khalid? Is it." I acted as if I didn't know him, as if I didn't despise him, as if I didn't YEARN his death. ( I might be getting too dramatic here)
He nodded and awkward silence was met. He bounced his ball before turning straight into my direction. "yoh, so I don't know if you know." I stopped and turned his direction. "I'm getting married to Annika."
How random was that, considering the fact that he wasn't even sure what my name was just a few minutes back. "ye, ye I heard about that." I replied trying my best to seem chill, to seem as if I wasnt jealous of his position, instead I stood and listened as if I was very much supporting him threw this.
He nodded in a way he was really into the conversation. "so... I don't know if you know this, but..." I was confused out of my mind at this moment. "but she seems to be really into some other guy." I stayed calm as I knew who that other guy was. 'me, hopefully' "I don't why, but everything I'm getting is dragging me to you man."
He was now extremely concerned, and had a broken facial expression. I as much as I loved Anikka, this really did make me feel like I was a bad guy. I changed my mood from really dull to a concentrated denial shake of the head. "I don't know what would get you thinking it's me, I barely know the girl." I very much knew he didn't know that Anikka and i where friends just last year, before her parents band her from ever talking to and about me. So saying I didnt know Anikka was very much not surprising to him.
He tried to distract me with a bounce of his basketball whilst he took another quick glance at my pocket. "alright Sith, you don't know her." he looked down at the pavement bellow us and bounced the ball one more time. "I guess, I just have to find out who it is then." how evil does he sound.
My sympathy for this guy ran out, and I was back to whole heartedly hating him. "sorry about that man." I couldn't care less about what he was going threw, my reasons for hating this guy wasn't just beacuse he loved the one I did, but he was border line going to get Anikka killed with his parents bieng so damn suspicious.
Rumours can tell scary stories and his parents where all what these Rumours where said to be.
Small steps we took closer and closer to our destinations, small chatter seemed to have him forgetting about this Anikka situation and it bought somewhat ease in my hatred in him.
Khalid tapped my back as his parents pulled up in a luxirous Lexus to come pick him up, and he gestured if I wanted a ride.
I shook my head without hesitation, and khalid hopped in the car and headed off. If Rumours of Khalid bieng the son of a mob leader didn't scare anybody, I certainly hadn't been givin an opinion if I was conciderd an anybody then.
I got back on my way home, when I suddenly remembered the wierd glances i was getting from Khalid, I take my hand down my pocket to where I thought he had been fixated on. A paper had me relieved in a way but also confused.... As it was a letter....
