Me And Y8

45 - He's Back

"I know it's fucking selfish. I fucking know. But fuck. I can't live without you. I can't let you walk into someone else's arms. You always ask me about three good things that happened during my day, but, everything good in my life is you. The three best things to have happened in my entire life were meeting you, marrying you and falling in love with you." - Book

"Confined to pure wretchedness, how will I ever be able to explain the unmasked torment in my eyes without mentioning you?" - Quote

"Let me show you how proud I am to be yours." - Song

"Malik!" Asher and Pedro scream behind me.

Dafurq?

They continue screaming his name with my last name. Okay, this is fucking sickening.

"Why are you shipping me with him?" I yell at them.

Asher shrugs, "You guys are a good pair."

Fuck Asher. "Asher, I feel fucking betrayed. You've like never shipped us this explicitly before!" I whine.

"Well, I think that you guys are perfect for each other. Like, nerd and nerd. Made for each fucking another." Pedro grins at me.

"Nah," Asher protests. "It's more like 'Same Person, Different Font.' Or like, academic weapon against an all-rounder. But Siyana's good at everything except for sport-"

"Hey!" I scream. "I'm good at some sports, like badminton, dance, volleyball and cricket."

They sat silent, and then burst out laughing. "Cricket because you're Indian." Pedro smugly grins.

Asher decides to finish his little speech. "Academic Weapon against our All-Rounder. The Debate Queen with the Golden Boy. It would make history." Asher exaggerates.

"Oh, shut the fuck up. The only reason I'm talking to you is to tell you to ship me right, if you're shipping me." I scold them.

"What do you mean?" Pedro asks.

I roll my eyes, "If I married a guy, I'd be taking his last na-"

He (Pedro) interrupts me. "When my dad fucked my mum," He giggles. "She didn't take his last name. She stayed the same and my dad stayed the same."

"What the fuck?" I sigh. "Listen. I know that, and it's really your choice. But in my opinion, I'd want to take a man's last name because I like it that way okay?"

"Malik was talking about you and how you need ownership - with me, Pedro and Troy." Asher mumbles.

Hold up.

"It's those dark romance books, he says. Hello? Earth to Siyana?" Pedro continues.

Malik talks about me? "Malik talks about me?" I tilt my head to the side, encouraging them to speak.

Asher blushes and Pedro smirks. "Well, that isn't something for you to know. It's for the boys."

They both scramble off, as quickly as they can. "Bye, Siyana!" Asher shouts from a distance.

They probably don't want to get punched but Asher's taller than Malik, the fuck is he scared? Well, who cares?

That was weird.

"Can you give me the answers to the science test?" I ask during tutor on Friday.

He shakes his head, "No." He tilts his head and smiles at me though.

No mixed signals, please.

Yesterday, though, he was a millimetre close to giving me the answers.

"Malik?" I call for him. "Can you give the answers to the science test?"
