"At the end, we are all sons and daughters of God, we should respect nd love each other, no matter how different we are. Racism, colorism, bullying at all its kind should stop, period." I said to myself as I wrote the last sentence. I looked at the bottom right corner of my screen. '5942 words'.
Sorry Ms. Jhonston, I joked in my head. I saved it on my flash drive and stood up to go print it but...
"Becca?" I asked as I jumped in my place.
"Jhonston told me you has something for me so I searched for you in the whole school. And then I realized you'd be in your favorite place so I came to the library." She said not removing her eyes from looking at her nails while she was putting on polish.
"Something for you?"
"An article for the magazine,"
"Oh I was going to print it,"
"Just send it to me by email," she said as she gave me a wink. I sat and emailed her the file.
"Now can we go somewhere? I need to talk to you," she told me as she checked her email and made sure she starred it.
"You are being a total bitch to me, why would I say yes?"
"Because I told Justin I'm driving you home,"
"You know I can walk,"
"Oh my God Andrew, I was being sarcastic," she said as she stood up, follow me. I closed my laptop put it in my bag and ran behind Becca.
She drove us to some kind of coffee shop. And here we are, on a table for two, me drinking chocolate milkshake and her drinking a latte.
So? I broke the silent dying to know what she wants to talk about.
Its about me and Martin, she said as she raised her eyes, and right when they met mine I broke the contact.
Listen Bec--
"No Andrew, you listen," she interrupted me as she fixed her posture. She rested her elbows on the table and held her head. "Two years ago," she spoke after sighing, "he threatened me before our valentines date, suddenly all the excitement that left came back to me, he told me if I go on a date with you, he will bully me, but I said I was going anyway so he threatened that he would hurt you, I didnt believe him until he sent me a pic of him pointing a gun at you while you were looking somewhere else. Everything was fine, until the end of this semester. Martin got more annoying and he tried many times to force me to have sex with him and he threatened of hurting you, so I had to do something, I told Phoebe and the same was happening to her. I mean they both got us the same way."
"What do you mean?" I asked. She took a sip of her drink.
"Edgard did the same with Phoebe, that's why she said she cheated on Robin." She explained.
"Robin needs to know, when you were in your coma, he came to visit you and Phoebe told him and they're hooking up, that's how he knew about Clay." She took another sip of her drink, "anyway, after that we told Jessica and she said she will contact F4, and the next day Clay had popped up and said F4 sent him so we told him everything, and he asked you to tutor him to get closer to you, meanwhile F4 was preparing a plan, apparently one of them went out of the plan and loved you, but that only helped the plan and here we are." I looked at my cup, tears started to run down my cheeks. They did all that to me, Becca dated a person she despised to protect me, and look t me I just mess it all up.
"I'm sorry Andrew, I hurt you--"
"Shhh," I said putting my index on her lips, "thank you, so much." She stood up and hugged me bending over the table.
"There is also one thing," she told me as she adjusted her shirt and sat back, "I love you.
"I love you too." I said quickly, but the look on her face was different. "No it's not, is it?"
"I'm afraid it is,"
"I--"
"It's okay,"
"May I ask a question?"
"Yes it was from middle school," she said with a tear in her eye, "I was waiting for you to make a move, and when you did, this happened."
"I'm sorry?"
"There's nothing to be sorry about Andrew," she wiped the tear away, "now hurry up, we're going to Jess'." She rushed out of the place and I had to follow her.

"Happy birthday," they all sang as I stepped in. Wow with all the stress I had forgotten today's my birthday. I smiled at them. Becca joined Justin, Daniel, Phoebe and Jessica as she sang with them. They then handed me the gifts.
"Open them," Jessica said excitedly. I opened Daniel's, it was a hoodie. Damn that boy knows me well. Phoebe had brought me a gold chain. Wow she spent a lot of money.
"Don't worry, it is just a small gift," she said as if she read my mind.
"Thank you," I said as I hugged her. I then opened Becca's gift. She had brought me a set of phone cases.
"I noticed you keep on changing phone cases so..." I hugged her and then looked at Jessica.
"Our gift is in the backyard," Justin said as he grabbed my hand and took me upstairs.
"This is not the way to the backyard," I said trying to take my hand out of this. He pulled me inside a room.
"Wear this," he grabbed a swimsuit from the table. I realized that was the guests' room I was in that day. "We're gonna swim." He took off his shirt and that was when I realized he was also wearing a swimsuit. He went downstairs and I followed him once I changed. And right when I stepped outside I saw a familiar façade. Two ones. Two people I had missed were in the pool.
"Clay? Robin?" I said as I jumped in the pool and swam to them.
A/N: Oops sorry, I had to cut it here:)
What do you expect to happen next?
Lots of love, Jonn
