malia's pov

my hand grabbed the back of my hoodie, pulling it over my head.

i looked out the window, watching the dark and gloomy sky.

"it's been a while," someone spoke, catching me off guard.

i stayed calm, knowing it's him.

"issac," i said quietly while keeping my attention outside the window.

the sound of the cushions behind sat on made me finally turn my head to face straight at him.

"hey," he said quietly while leaning his elbows on the table.

"hi," i replied, not really knowing what else to say.

"what did you need me for? it doesn't seem like you wanted to talk to me anymore after that other night," he referred to how we first bumped into each other.

when i saw him, i immediately started to avoid him without even asking him how he was.

now, i need to talk to him.
so i contacted him, for the first time in a long time.

"i want you to meet my friends," it hurts to even let those words come out of my mouth, getting scared.

"where are they?" his eyebrows furrowed, looking around for them.

"they will be here soon," i answered simply while looking at me phone.

8:42p.m
daniela: we are almost there.

my finger pressed on the lock button, turning off my screen.

"well how have you been?" he tried to start a simple conversation.

"could've been better," i admitted.

the sound of the bell rang loudly through the place, someone came in.

my eyes shifted up towards the door, watching as daniela, ethan, and grayson walking in.

i've set this whole thing up; planned.

they don't know who he is.
he doesn't know who they are.

"hey malia," daniela said as her eyes laid on me.

"hi," i quietly responded while getting out of my seat, letting them three sit in front of issac while i sit besides him.

"who you?" ethan asked, not taking anything seriously.

"i'm- uh issac," issac answered.

daniela scooted in the booth, ethan besides her then grayson at the end; the outside.

"guys. i want you to meet issac," i let out stressful sigh, scared of how they'll react.

"nice to meet you," grayson said while putting his hand out for issac to shake.
