I am Reality

8-8

         It was only a few days in, Anika and I exchanged each other Snapchat usernames and we started talking. She'd be talking about the most outrages things but it was the reason why I loved her. She didn't care about highschool drama, never wanted to fit in she was a unique self made girl.
         On a Tuesday morning we skipped first period to get breakfast at Emerson hall, she'd told me she loved the egg sandwich over there. And in the afternoon we went on an ice cream date, where I bought her a chocolate ice cream sundae at an ice cream shop in downtown.
         In our small discussion through that time, we'd discuss about how although we are both in the Islamic faith that our families wouldn't accept one another because of the color of my skin, Both of our skins are in the darker shade but I was just stereotyped as the more lower and hog like race. It wasn't no difference then how the white Americans look at the African Americans.
         "But I love you" she said. "Wouldn't you be breaking your parents rule" I asked. She looked at me and said the most meaningful thing in life. " Sometimes you have to break the closest hearts to achieve success in your life, and god can only test you if he feels like you've made a wrong decision." I stood looking at her for two minutes praying inside my mind oh God if you take her away from my life I understand you keep your Angels right beside you.
         I gave her a hug that I've never gave anyone else before and followed it up with  a kiss. I knew I had what I wanted at that moment at that time. But like any other love story, there is always someone who have a hard time accepting it.
          At a Saturday night Anika and I were face timing and her brother Kummal, Anika's brother of course came in her room without any permission and saw my big ass head on her laptop, he rattled like a snake to her parents and the next day she was grounded. She came to me in the morning, hugged me and told me that she couldn't talk to me anymore. Also that her brother been watching us because the boy is in the same school as us this whole time and I didn't even know. I had gym with this dude.
          My life came crashing after our break up, it was sudden and stupidly dumb, she graduated that year and was planning to go to Buffalo State College but ended up moving to Bangladesh In the fall.
