5am Start

Round two

I sit down on a nearby couch and see Yourri still laughing, I take a pillow and throw it at her. "Hey" she whined.

"That should teach you not to laugh at me" I say and she rolls her eyes, stands then walks into the kitchen.

I watch her as she disappears into the kitchen all of a sudden something hits me hard in the face. "Ouch" I say and glance at Rashid who is laughing so hard after throwing a pillow at me in the face. "What did you do that for?"

"Quit staring"

"I wasn't staring" I roll my eyes, " What's there to stare at anyway? "

"Really man? You were-"

"Just forget it " I say as I stand cutting him off.

"Whatever " he also stands letting go of whatever is on his mind

He follows me into the kitchen and then sits on one of the stools. I open the fridge and take out a medium sized bowl of chocolate ice cream I find in it .

"Hey that's mine" Yourri complains from behind me.

"That's not going to prevent me from eating it" i scoff not turning to even look at her. I unseal the bowl and open a drawer for a spoon, taking one out.

"That's unfair"

"You think life was fair when my dad got murdered? " I snap at her and watch as her eyes widen at my comeback, "Yeah I didn't think so"

"I, uhh, I'm sorry" she stutters. Fuck just go away already.

"Erhm what are you sorry for?" I suck in my lower lip to keep from remembering sad images from his death that won't just go away.

"That you lost your father"

"I didn't lose him he got killed" I snap at her again. I really hate her and i have no idea why and she just wouldn't shut up "and why should you be sorry you didn't kill him did you?"

"I was being polite" she chokes.

"Don't need it" I say as I take a napkin out of the drawer, "you might as well keep it to yourself" I put a spoonful of the ice cream in my mouth, wiping the sides of my mouth . I join Rashid on one of the stools. He watched what transpired earlier without saying a word, I know he'll bring it up when we're alone.

"Let's go to the pool" he says walking towards the pool area, they've got two pools here actually. The second one was made when Tori decided that we should have a pool party for our sixteenth birthday. That was when I first time tasted alcohol.

"Yeah sure" I say following him with the bowl of ice cream in my hand.

He sits putting his legs into the pool and I also do same, he watches me as i eat my ice cream quietly. He stares at the water, the sun is almost setting. I finished the entire bowl of ice cream and push the bowl away to the side when he speaks.

"You like her don't you?" My eyes open wide in shock. I just stare at him and burst into laughter. Wtf!?

"Wait" I say and burst into another round of laughter "Wha-wha-what did you just say? "

"I asked if you like her" do I?

Hell no!

"Are you crazy?" I am gasping for breath now from so much laughter "Seriously man?"

"She's beautiful" he blurts

"Come on man, I don't like her"

"The way you stare at her"
