Me And Y8

43 - Love Letters

"You added colors to my life that are as bright as the ones in your eyes. Every day I wake up to those eyes and your contagious smile, I feel like the luckiest bastard alive." - Book

"That's how love works. You don't love people despite their imperfections but you love them for their imperfections." - Quote

"Just know that I would die for you." - Song

"Hey Ava, I want you so bad." Mr. Reid reads out the letter under Ava's desk.

Tyke laughs. "I bet it was Abdullah." I whisper to Leah

People howl and a raucous of shouts, snickers and giggles fill the air. I continue staring at it, to find any clues.

Leah asks Malik- since hold up, Leah and Malik are basically best friends right now.

Every fucking second, in English, they're both laughing with each fucking another. Their table - Mia, Asher, Leah and Malik - keep on laughing and snickering the entire time.

So fucking annoying. Me and Malik did not do that in English all the fucking time when we sat together.

"Malik?" Shut. The. Fuck. Up. "Are your initials M. A?" She asks, but shut the fuck up.

"Yeah, Leah. Why?" Why the fuck is he saying her name?

God, I sound so jealous. It's fine.

I am.

"Because here, it says from M. A." Holy shit.

He likes Ava?!

"The fuck? Malik, you like Ava?" He glares at me after I say that.

He clears his throat, before speaking. "No, that's not my handwriting!"

Me and Tyke say at the same time. "You can fake your handwriting."

"I can't!" He exclaims.

"Yes, you can." I faux-smile at him.

Ava sighs. "This is about me, guys. Why the fuck does everything about couples become Malik and Siyana?"

Mia chirps. "Because they are a couple."

"Oh my days, not this again. Shut up!" I exclaim as Malik covers his ears.

"Okay, class, settle down." Mr. Reid shakes his head while smiling at me.

Oh no.

He does not ship me, I swear.

The day passes and it's time for Maths Challenge. Also known as, weekly gossip session with Aria/Mr. Reid.

I shriek, walking in about twenty minutes late. "Mr. Reid! I'll fill you in on my theories about today's letter-"

Aria stares at me. "What letter?"

Laina and Yasmine walk up to me. "Yeah, Siyana, what letters?" Laina asks me.

"Okay, okay, promise you won't tell no one, Kay?" I question them.

"Yeah, yeah." They all say.

I sit on a table in front of Mr. Reid as I begin. "Okay, so, backstory. Today, Mr. Reid found out that there was a love letter under Ava's table and it said, 'Hey Ava, I want you so bad.'".

Aria's jaw drops. "No way!"

Mr. Reid continues. "And it was signed with the initials 'M. A'".

"Guess whose initials are those?" I ask a rhetorical question.

"Malik Awad." Laina breathes.

Yasmine blushes. "Of course, if there's drama with Siyana, 90% of it, is probably about Malik."
