Me And Y8

35 - Secret

"You're all my good parts wrapped together in a satin bow, Snowflake, and I can't lose you. Because if I lose you, I stay with all the bad parts. I stay alone." - Book

"Just because you're better than me doesn't mean that you'll ever deserve him." - Quote

"Wanna see your body on mine and collide, collide." - Song

"He got a 100, Siyana. I heard her say it out loud." Leah shouts for me to hear across the classroom.

"Are you sure?" I repeat.

"Yes, Siyana!" She yells.

"He did get a 100, he just told me." Damien whispers. I sit with Damien, Habeel and Hazza in Geography. With the latter being absent today.

I cross my arms, shaking my head in denial. My teacher walks towards me, a smile decorating her face.

"Mr. Casena said that no one in the rest of the year got a 100% on this test. But here in 8G, we have two 100s, great job! Siyana, you got a 100!" She grins, matching my own.

Habeel quirk an eyebrow and I nod, silent exchanges. "Hey Evelyn, what's you get?" I ask her.

"63%, you?" Dafuq? You deaf?

I smirk. "100."

"Of course. Anyone else?" She rolls her eyes.

It's my turn to roll my eyes. "Silverboy."

"Who?" Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure that silverboy thing is something only me, Mia, Leah, Malik understand.

"Malik.

"Terms of endearment?" Damien chimes in.

"Shut up. I call him silverboy to remind him that he's always silver."

After my explanation, Evelyn nods. "To who?"

My face twists into a lopsided-grin, "To me."

Me and Mia are walking home from school after Geography, stopping by my tower.

"Well, how's Koifman going?" I ask her.

"Fine, but I like Eli."

Koifman is Adam's last name. "I know, but I thought you liked Adam again. Because like a few weeks ago, you said you wanted to tell Koifman that you liked him because last year, he told you that he liked you?"

"But I like Eli so much." Eli is hot, but of course I'm too invested in my fucking academic rival to like him.

Fuck me.

"Eli is in Maths Challenge with me and fuck, he's so stupid. I mean, stupid in terms of Maths Challenge standards. Also, I bully him with Yasmine in front of Mr. Reid's fucking face, girl. You know the spot in the back of boys' hair? I call it a bald spot just to bully him. I scream bald spot whenever I spot him. He's too skinny, fucking twig impersonator." I try to convince her, because no.

Yes, he is hot. But I don't understand why anyone could like him. Me and Aria got into a verbal sparring session leading to our friendship-divorce because she liked him and according to her, I gave it away that she liked Eli to the whole town.

I know I'm not fucking subtle or discrete, and I scream my friends' crushes when I spot them from miles away just because I'm excited for them, but....
