"What are you thinking?" I ask him.
"You really want to know?" He replies in a voice so dark and full of warning it sends a shiver down my spine.
"Yes." I say, being utterly brave.
A small smirk lifts the corner of his lips as he walks towards me...

"EMARA!"
"Coming!" I scream back, hastily combing my pinkish-red hair, before throwing the comb away and grabbing the hat.
Today, the hat is more important than my hair.
I rush down to see my brother surprisingly dressed up in a white suit and black tie, looking like he is about to serve us appetizers.
"Why are you not ready yet?" I hear my mother's screeches and I turn to look at her, stunning in a silver gown with silver accessories, sparkling like a human disco ball.
"I am ready." I tell her, glancing down at my new AC/DC t-shirt and cool as-my-ass ripped demins.
"No, no." My father steps in, casually dressed in his usual blue shirt and black pants, like he is about to fix a computer.
"You are not going out dressed up like a drug-addict teenager. This is your convocation ceremony. For some people, it happens once in their life like a wedding night. So, go dress up!" He orders me.
"Dress up like it's my wedding night?" I ask, genuinely confused.
Do people even wear clothes on that night?
"No, Emara! Dress up like you are going to Taylor Swift's concert and she is going to call you on the stage. Go now!"
What? I don't even listen to Taylor Swift!
"And did you take your meds?" My dad questions me, as I was about to follow his order.
"Oh, I forgot." I murmur inaudibly, like a guilty kid.
"Don't forget to take them, honey. You know how good it is for you." My mother tells me, and I force a smile, "Yeah." Before turning to stride back up.
"Will they accept me? I feel so nervous."
My feet halt as I hear the sheepish voice of my brother. Who are 'they'?
I flatten my chest against the stair's wall and listen to their conversation, quietly.
"Of course, darling. You are such a great guy and you both are together from three years, why wouldn't her family like you?"
Is Ethan introducing himself to Rose's family at the graduation ceremony?
"Yeah, but her brother doesn't like me, and I don't want her parents to think otherwise." My rather confident brother sounds underconfident.
Wait.. Ryan's going to be there too?
"That was years ago, Ethan. I am pretty sure he will have a change of heart." My mother speaks in an angelic voice and I stride up to my room, having a change of heart too.
No more going to Taylor Swift concert, I need to dress up like I am going to meet Henry Cavill!
Not that I care about Rhino's ass, I just want his underwear to burn like firecrackers when he sees what he lost.
