THE SHORT STORY SERIES

4- I don't give up

"I love you Maya"

Hahaahhaha!!!

The three girls laughed at him.

"what do you have there, old pants"
Stephine mocked, looking from his head to his toe.

He looked at him self, and then back at Maya not giving two fucks about Stephine.

"But does that really matter?"
He said coming closer to them

"shu...don't get any closer"
The skinny Anita spoke. "Like seriously, has no one ever told you?. You stink. Like. Like, you corrupt the air around people" she said demonstrating. Her finger pegged on her nose.

They laughed again.

"Girls calm down." she said still laughing. Then turned to him "See Sean, the things is I can't return what you have for me, and I barely cant think of me ever dating you."
Maya said, chuckling a little.

"You've heard her, she's way out of your league. Go try another or fall from Mount everest"
Anita said.

A black BMW x6 drove by then stopped almost close to them. Bringing down his glass, then waved at the girls. Soon another drove by. It was a convertible Mercedes. It parked behind the BMW.

A 6'5 blond haired, came out from the BMW and walked towards the girls.

"Hi Maya" he leaned and gave a perk on her cheek.
"hi Dan" she blushed. His hand around her waist then pulled her closer to him.

Hi!
Anita and Stephine both said.

Two others came out from the Mercedes to join them, both good looking.

Sean just stood, watching. His eyes watered as they practically were showing off right in front off him. It didn't take time for him to notice that they were their boy friends.

"So would you guys explain what is going on here and why you with this" he stopped looking at Sean "never mind. Let's just leave"

"Maya" he called as she turned to leave.

"I said No! Jess Sean, why are you being such a pain."

Sean didn't want to give up. He took few steps towards where she was, but Dan came in his.

"Back off dude. She's already taken. Can't you get that."

"She isn't your property to be taken." Sean tackled.

Dan came closer to him, over shadowing the 6'1 Sean. His fist tight, ready to be released at any seconds.

Sean didn't make a move. He just stood staring at him, full of confidence.

"Dan. Let's leave. It's alright."

"Maya, do you really want to follow him?"

Maya ignored, taking Dan's hand, and pulling him to the car.

"I still love you Maya, and no matter what I won't give up on loving you!"

They drove past him and Anita gave him a middle finger.

He watched as the cars both went out of sight.

"Damn you Dan."

He kicked the trash can, it fell littering the floor. He dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out the key to the locks of his bike, he unlocked it and set the bike to move.
He brought it out and walked a few steps then jumped on his bike and began paddling. The day getting darker as he paddled along the quiet streets from school, cars becoming fewer as moments passed by.
He gave his mind to the air as if they were whispering words to him.

Screeeeeeee!

He held his break as he got to his house. He bent it almost falling off.

"phew. That was close" he sighed as he left the bike and advanced into his house.

"Am home mum, dad." he said kicking his shoe off his legs as he entered. No one answered.

"I guess you guys are slee-Dad?"

"Son? "

"thought you must have been sleeping by now.? Isn't it too late to be awake? Besides where's mum? "

He said, praying he would not ask any question that would cause him trouble to answer.

"isn't it late to be coming back to the house.? Your mum and I have been waiting for you. She gone to sleep."

"I know dad but I had to cover up some things in school"

"hmm. Just get to bed Sean. And please let this not repeat itself again. Stick to the curfew"

"okay Dad. I get."

He left the sitting room, sprinting up the stairs to his room. Thinking of the past event that had happened. He got to his room then slumped into his bed.

If only she could understand the love I have for her. If only she knows that they just love her beauty and not her. I really need you Maya.

He rolled over, facing his window. The evening wind filling his room. He shivered a little then pulled his blanket to cover his body.

I know you'll get to know how much I do love you. You'll get to know Maya.
