Brody's POV

"Just a friend of the family. Funny fact, my mother set us up." she responded.

When I saw her drive off with another guy, I felt weird. Am I seriously falling for this girl? I can get every other girl I want, but why am I so jealous? And by the way, I already have a girlfriend. I sat down on a bench in front of the school to clear my head.

How can I be in love with a Muslim girl? I mean, I respect the religion and all but I could never see myself being with one. I'm with a hot girl who gave me every satisfaction I needed, but I still craved for Safia. What's wrong with me? The worst thing of all was that I couldn't share this with anyone else. My friends would think I'm crazy. They thought I was crazy as soon as I hung out with the 'muslim girl'. What would everyone say if I was dating one? I needed to get rid of the feelings I have towards Safia, I always annoyed her.. But maybe there was a reason for why I did that. My hands were sweating even thinking about her.

I stood up and walked towards my car, dropped all my stuff in the backseat and drove off.

When I arrived home, I saw everyone sitting in the kitchen. My dad, mother and sister. I can't lie that I have dreamed of this moment, the only nightmare in my dream was that my father had cancer.

Even though I was happy to see them together, something inside me was depressed. I greeted them and made my way to my room. I wasn't in a talky mood.

I let myself fall on my bed and began thinking again. Everytime I was alone my mind was giving me a headache. I took my phone out and started texting Nat if she wanted to come over, maybe she can change my mood. She was actually pretty good in doing that.

As soon as I wanted to send the message, someone knocked on my door. I stood up and opened the door only to see my dad standing in the hallway.

"Hey, can I come in?" he asked.

I gave him a sign to come in and he closed the door behind him. He looked around and eventually sat down next to me.

"So tell me, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing dad."

"Don't lie Brody, you have that frown." he pointed at it and waited for an explanation.

"It's like when you were little, you always had that frown whenever mom gave Britt more attention than she gave you." he added.

I knew that I had that frown everytime I was jealous, but I didn't know he actually remembered that.

"So? Are you going to tell me or are you letting me guess?"

I shrugged and said nothing. I hardly believed that he would guess what was going through my mind.

"Fine.. Okay euhm."

"Is it about school?" he guessed.

I shook my head.

"About your girlfriend?"

I shook my head again. Although it was a little bit.

"Oh I know, that girl you couldn't keep your eyes off!"

I was surprised that he guessed that, I shrugged again and didn't say or do anything further.

"Okay so, I'm right? What's her name?" my dad asked.

"Safia." I said looking at him.

"Okay, Safia. Beautiful name, so what's the deal with her?" he asked.
