You and Me

Chapter 33

Addy's pov
We were all quiet, I didn't want high school to come too quick. There was something that Omar didn't know but we're planning on telling him later on. The silence was broke by Ciara's phone ringing.

" Excuse me," she said.

" Uh am I missing something here?" asked Omar.

" What? Oh no, It's just uhhhh....." Cam said trying to think of something to say.

" It's nothing, don't worry about it," Yolo said trying to change the subject.

Ciara came back but something wasn't right. She looked pale, her eyes were filled with sadness, confusion, and anger. I've never seen her like this. Everyone else saw it too.

" Ciara, are you okay?" Omar asked.
She didn't answer. She just sat there starring at nothing. Maddie, Cam, and Yolo all looked at each with worried faces. What's going on here?

"Um guys, is there something that Omar and I don't know about?"

" It-" Yolo was interrupted by Cara's phone again. She picked up her phone and answered it.

" Hello? Yeah, okay we're on our way now." She hung up and sighed.

" Sorry guys, Maddie and I need to go. We have to go this special banquet," she examined her voice soft and fragile.

" Okay, text me later," I say. She nods and her and April leave.

" So are you going to tell us what that was about?" Omar asked.

" We'd like to tell you but we're not in the right place to tell you. Cara should be the one since it is her story," Yolanda exclaimed.

" Hey Yolanda!" someone I didn't know yelled out. He was older than us probably in second or third year in high school.

" What are you doing here?" she asked.

" Mom wanted me to come get you, she said that we're going to grandma's house."

" Oh okay, well I'll see you guys later," Yolo said waving her hand.

" Well that was weird, Cam do you need go anywhere?" I asked.

He shrugged, " Not that I know of."

We talked for a while longer until Cam's phone rang.

" Hi mom. Really? Okay I'll be there soon," He hung up and gave us a well-what-do-ya-know smile, " turns out that my older sister is in town for her birthday, sorry guys." And with that he walked away.

"Finally" I heard Omar mumble. I gave him a confused stare.

" Look Addy I have something to tell you."

Omar's pov

" Look Addy I have something to tell you."
She looks at me with her beautiful eyes. I take a deep breathe and take out the necklace I bought.

" This might help me tell you," I say while giving her the box. She slowly opened the box and observed the necklace. Her eyes grew wide.
" Oh my gosh, it's beautiful."

I grabbed the necklace and placed it around her neck.

" Omar?" She asked.
"Yes?"

" I like you too," she said with a smile. I gave her a hug and let go so we could eat our food. We just sat there talking and laughing for the rest of the after noon but I knew that there was something bothering her. It could be the same thing that's bothering me.

" Addy is something bothering you?" I asked. She just nodded her head no and looked at the grass.

" Addy I know your thinking about Ciara, it's okay to admit it. I'm thinking about what happened too."

" It's just that I've never her seen her so out of it. She's usually so happy, making everyone smile and laugh," she explained.

" I know, but it's getting late I should get you home now come on," I say standing up and putting my arm out for her to grab.
We walked all the way back to her house hand in hand. Before she went inside I grabbed her other hand and made her look at me.

" So do you wanna get some ice cream after school on Friday?" I ask.

" Why Omar are you asking me on a date?" she asked jokingly.

" Why yes I am miss Addy," I saw with a small bow.

" Yeah, sure I'd like that," she said with a small laugh. She kissed my cheek and walked into her house.

I stood there like an idiot for two minutes and then ran home. maybe I could stop by Ciara's to ask what happened, that is if she's even home.
