Cairo Storm

"Do you see that girl over there?", Dean asked me pointing to a girl who had been reading under the tree. I know her. . . Rose Hailey that kid who never talked. Always alone and a average student here.

"Yeah I do see her", I said and Dean rolled his eyes. " Come on Storm you know the bet"

"I'm not doing it", I said angrily and I focused more on trying to draw. My eyes never left the page as I scribbled more and more until I done it.

" Do you see why you need to do it", he said looking at the messy artwork I've done. Hazel eyes, long straight brown lock of hair, rosy lips and cheek with tiny freckles sprinkled across the button nose.

"You love her since seven years Storm", he said looking at me poker faced. I never understood why she was alone and ran away from people who tried to be close with her. She isn't like anyone I know. In fact she's better than anyone I know.

Dean tried making me talk to her but honestly I was afraid I might be one of the people who she will push away and she'll hate me.

That is the last thing I want to happen. Or rather the fact I know she hates everyone including me.

" Come on Greene, or your gonna have detention with Mrs Fiona", I said walking away to class but then someone bumped into me.

"Watch where you're going!"

Rose stood in front of me looking teary and scared. Don't tell me.

"I'm sorry I won't do that please I won't bother you or even look at you, please don't come near me, I'll go but don't hurt me", she whimpered in fear.

What?

Then the thing that surprised me was she fainted and I caught her in time before she fell. She wasn't heavy and I lifted her.

" Cairo you should –", Dean stopped dead in tracks looking at me wide eyed. I was holding Rose of course he would be shocked.

"I'm borrowing your car now", I said and he didn't bother to ask why.

After a short ride to the hospital –I didn't bother to wrath of school and got Rose to my mother who was surprised to see me inside her cabin. She glanced at Rose who didn't wake up and I got more worried.

" Keep her on the bed and go outside", she said firmly, her face fell when she looked at Rose. She can be scary when she's serious.

I put Rose gently and left the room without a word. A few minutes passed and kept my self busy drawing more pictures and suddenly my mom came out of the cabin and looked at me.

"What did you do?", she asked me.

I told her the whole thing – minus the part how I feel about her. She expected me to go back to school but there was only an hour left and I'm not leaving her alone..

"Is she all right?", I asked and stood up trying to get inside. " No"

"No?", I asked panicked.

" I don't think it's an good idea to –"

"What is wrong with her!?", I asked inpatient.

" Dear, she has haphephobia"
