Me And Y8

44 - History

"How was this not marriage? How was this not more binding and more intimate, us bare with each other in the presence of God? At the very least, this was a betrothal, a promise, an oath." - Book

"If I asked you if you hated me and you replied with 'just as much as you', would that make you love me with all of your heart, soul and cell in your body?" - Quote

"Have you seen my boyfriend?" - Song

I think he likes either me, or Leah. It's one of us for sure.

But I'm not going to say it's me out loud, though.

Me, Hailey, Mia and Leah are walking down the hallway - to art. "Girl, he literally likes you. He keeps on talking to us during the eye dissection." I try to stay humble.

He was talking to me, not us. "I know! And yesterday, he kept on trying to talk to me in the staff room, it's like he forgot our unsaid rule about not disturbing each other or talking to each other."

Leah's mum is the principal's PA and Malik's mum is the ECA coordinator. So, members of staff in our school.

Hailey side-eyes Leah. "But he was talking to Siyana the entire time and his eyes just melt when he stares at her." She reasons, I love Hailey.

"I don't like Salik anymore, I'm making it Mayana. And Siyana doesn't have a say in it because she 'doesn't like' it. Right?" Mia challenges.

"Yeah, right." I grit out and Evelyn laughs at my expression. "But I already knew that you changed it."

"How?" She asks.

"Well, maybe cause your fucking boyfriend keeps on saying it. Like, I love annoying and embarrassing Ace by asking for you when he's with his friends. And the first thing he fucking says is like, 'Hey, Mayana.' Broski, just shut up!" I scream.

David and Asher chuckle. "Broski, just shut up." Pedro mocks.

"Also, like, I'm dapping him up and saying 'Sup, Ace.' to act fucking weird, but he replies by saying- 'Sup, Mayana.' And then, your idiot of a boyfriend - sorry Ace, smirks and nods. Dudebro needs to get a life." I rant.

Evelyn rolls her eyes, and nods in a sarcastic way. "Yes, such a problematic and hard life to live, Siyana."

Hanging an arm round Hailey, I retaliate. "Well, yeah. And I'm not being sarcastic."

"I still think he likes me, though." Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

Do you guys want to guess who said that?

Option 1 : Leah.

Option 2 : Leah.

Option 3 : Leah.

Leah? Oh my god! (Screams in fake-astonishment)

You're right!

"Nu-uh, he likes Siyana. It's a little bit obvious." Hailey clap-fucking-backs faster than light.

Go, Hailey! Let. Her. Preach to fucking Malik and Leah.

"How?" Leah asks. Bitch, what's your problem? I get it if you're jealous but there's no reason to be jealous and upset over my nonexistent love life with my academic rival. Where even is my academic rival, at this point?

Ava scoffs, "No offence, Leah. But what makes it so hard to understand that Malik and Siyana are really, really compatible?-"

I interrupt. "We. Are. Not."

"Shut up, Siyana." Ava shakes her head. "He might be talking to Leah only because he wants to be friends with her? Maybe, like, get common sense?"

"Yeah, but it's so random." I mutter.
