Chapter Nine :
"Apologize, Farah!"
"NO!" I told Trace grumpily, stuffing my face full of cereal. This fight has been going on for a couple hours. It was already seven on a sunday. I sighed.
"Apologize, Farah. I want Anderson back over here so he can keep you company; then I won't have to deal with you being so annoying.
"Shut up, Trace."
"Not until you freaking apologize for ignoring Anderson!"
"NO! He ruined my dance with Marcus."
"So, it's not like your dating him."
"So in the future, I could date Marcus."
"Sometimes I forget you're even a girl. I think of you as a gay guy."
I rolled my eyes. "It could happen."
"Whatever. Maybe, but we all know who you're going to end up with." I gasped knowing where he was going in the topic. I shoved my fingers in my ears, singing to myself.
"YOU'RE GOING TO END UP WITH KYLE, WITH TWENTY BABIES!" He yelled, where I could still hear him. I sighed knowing my brother is a complete idiot.
"SHUT UP!"
"APOLOGIZE TO HIM!" Trace yelled, grabbing my bowl of cereal.
"Hey! That's my Froot Loops! Give them back, NOW!" I screamed, chasing him around my kitchen. The bowl slipped out of his hands, and crashed unto the floor. I screamed no, and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"While I clean this up, go make yourself useful and go make out with Kyle."
"What did you just say?" I demanded.
"I said go make up with Kyle. What did you think I said?" He asked with a wink. I groaned, and rolled my eyes, grabbing my jacket.
I slammed the door behind me, and ran down my sidewalk. It was already dark outside, and it was so peaceful in my neighborhood. I carefully sat on my driveway, and wrapped my jacket tighter around. It was getting colder at night.

"It's cold. Why are you out here all alone?" I heard Kyle say behind me.
"I forgive you and I'm sorry, Kyle." I told him truthfully. He squatted down in front of me, and starting smiling.
"But why did you do that?" I asked.
"Prank...I don't know. To mess with you since you're such a good best friend."
"Oh."
"Yeah. So, about Marcus..."
"Yeah? What about him?"
"I dunno."
"Then shut up." I told him harshly. His face shown hurt.
"Sorry."
"So, are we okay now?"
"Yeah. Yeah we are." He said simply with a smile before we looked back up to the stars.

"Hey, Farah. I want to ask you something." Marcus told me.
I stopped where we were walking in the middle of the hallway.
"Yeah?" I asked. Hopefully this is not about the whole Kyle situation..
"Do you, um....Will you go on a date with me to the movies tonight?" He asked me. My heart skipped a beat.
"Y-yeah" I stuttered out. It's already Friday, so it has almost been aa week since he talked to me. I was already thinking he's a jerk and Kyle was right.
"Great! I'll pick you up at eight!" He eclaimed, gentle grabbing my hand and kissing it. He winked, and disappeared into the crowded hallway of students.
