The Other

(Yuki)

"Aw. Don't worry, Yuki." Arlo said as he brought me into a hug. "They're all in a better place now."

That reminded me of what Yasir told me. Religion... How can stuff like that be real... Ugh. I just wish I had answers. Is heaven and hell real? Is there really a god? Why can't things just be straight forward...

I sighed as all of this ran through my head. I decided to head to Yasir. I texted him, asking him where he was. He told me he was at Zulaykha's. He gave me the address and I pulled away from Arlo's hug.

"Arlo..." I spoke. "Can you drive me to Zulaykha's house?" I asked. "130 Wilson Street."

"Ugh. Right now?" he asked. "Today is such a chill day. I just wanna stay inside." Arlo was going to collapse on his bed, but I took the keys from his nightstand and grabbed his arm, dragging him down the stairs and outside to his car.

"You're driving." I said with a smile, holding his keys out. He rolled his eyes.

"Jinjja aish." he muttered under his breath. "Japanese people..." he snarled.

"Korean people..." I mocked.

He let out a chuckle and grabbed the keys from my hand. He hopped in the car and I did the same. He then began to drive.

"So... Why are you going to Zucchini's house?" Arlo asked.

"I have to talk to Yasir about something..." I said. Arlo smirked.

"Oooh. Relationship drama already?" he asked, smiling. "I can't wait to watch the argument go down..."

I rolled my eyes. "It's not drama..." I said. "And it hasn't even been a week yet. We're not dating...just...talking..." I said.

Arlo rolled his eyes. "Mmhmm."
