My Name is Insecurity

Amara Again?

          We walk down the halls of the school. Out of the blue, Brandon says, "Hide!"

          "Why?"

          "Just-" He sighs. "Just trust me." My eyes are wide with curiosity. Is it a surprise? A game? 

          Or does he want to get rid of me?

          No way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called me here.

          So I run to the bathroom and go in there and peek out the doorway. "No! Somewhere else! Where you can't be seen!" 

           "Um- Okay?" I say, though it comes out sounding like a question. I walk towards an empty locker- the door is hanging open, so I can see- and squirm inside of it. Brandon closes the door.

           "Just listen carefully," He smiles.

          "What are you doing here?" I hear a girl's voice. But who's? 

          "Um, well, Amara, I was just hanging out with a friend."

          "Which friend?"

          "Um, she is in the bathroom."

          "She?"

          "Yes, she! Can't I have any girl friends?" My heart beats so loud, I think that Amara heard it. Could it really be?

          "Um... well, I was wondering i-if we could hang out and walk around for a while," She stammers.
