Maryam's Pov
I woke in the morning exhausted and I decided not to go to school. The teachers don't care about us anymore which is fine by me because I never cared about them either. Dad and  Latif have already left. My dad doesn't really bother me as long as i don't get an F or kill anyone he is the coolest dad ever. I cleaned the house, took a shower and made some noodles.

I just can't seem to stop thinking about what happened last night. There is a part of me that feels really bad about how I reacted so I decided to text him.
"Hey, can we talk"  I hit send and set my phone on the coffee table.
"Yeah, do you want to come over? " he asked
"I'll be there soon" I replied

His house is just a few blocks from mine so I hurried inside and changed into a black leggings and a pink t-shirt. The walk to his house seemed a lot faster than usual maybe it's because I'm nervous. Muhammed is the only friend I have right now and I don't want to lose him. He is like a brother to me even tho I know he wants more I can't give him that but I want him around me. I know it sounds selfish but that just how I feel.

Whenever I reach there gate it's like deja vu. I can remember that first day I came here their dog Zaky  chased me and Muhammed was also chasing him yelling for him to stop. After the whole marathon a normal person would have gone home but I went back to there house and his mom kept asking me if I'm okay after every five minutes. I just wanted to slap myself and Muhammed for not telling me that they have a dog. Every bad thing has happened to me I'm like a magnet for bad luck.

Muhammed opened the gate and I stepped in and came face to face with Zaky. He has a problem with me but then again who doesn't. Immediately we sat down he started
"Do you know that guy"
"No I mean we met ones" saying it out loud makes me feel so stupid
"You don't know him, what if he did something to you"
"I get it okay I don't make the best decisions but I don't think he will do anything like that plus you shouldn't have hit him"
"I was trying to defend you" I get that
"Okay let's just forget that, can we?" I'm just trying to say sorry
"Okay let's forget it" he said I can tell that he is not over it.
"So can we go to classes together later"
"Yea sure if you don't run off with him again"
"I'm leaving " so not funnyAs I was walking home I saw someone that looks a lot like Saihou's girlfriend. I just kept on walking because she thinks that I am Saihou's girlfriend and she seems catty. After I took a few steps I felt a tap on my shoulder, when I turned around its no other than her what the fuck does she want now.
"So you are dating Saihou" I don't like her a lot but she is pretty
"Yeah I mean yes I am" I almost said no
"Stay away from him, he is mine and he will never love anyone the way he loves me" she said it like its some kind of accomplishment
"I don't care what you two had but he is with me now and that's all that matters to me. You better stay the fuck away from us." I am way too good at this
"Are you threatening me" she came closer
"Take it however you want to" I said and walked away. He owes me big time that fucking asshole.

Saihou's pov
My mom woke me up at 8:30 so I can go to school and I barely even slept because Iss won't shut the hell up all night. After school I came straight home and took the longest nap ever. I got dressed and I found my mom in the kitchen preparing dinner. I like eating alone but my mom wants me to eat with her as a family. I don't get it but I guess it's beacause she is always lonely and we don't have a lot to talk about.

Iss told me that he would go earlier to school because he has something to take care of. Which I doubt because the only thing he seems to think about is girls, food and money in his pocket. He has been my friend for as long as I can remember I mean he is like my brother but he is so dumb sometimes.

I met Maryam sitting on a bench outside the school gate. I sat beside her and she looked up from her phone to look at me then back to her phone.
"Mariama how you doing" I tried to strike a conversation
"Don't ever call me that it's Maryam"
"I thought it's all the same"
"No they are not"
"Well its—" I got interrupted by Iss

Iss came out of the school with that ridiculous hat on his head.
"Hey, it's Maryam yes" what is going on here
"Yes" Maryam responded
"Basically yeah I wanna talk to you yeah, can I get your digit" I have no idea why Iss is talking like that but it's funny as hell
"Why are you talking like a combination of Roddy Rich and J Hus" exactly my thought he is mixing the American and British accent.
"What you mean yeah"
"Can you pick one this is really odd" Maryam started howling in laughter even I couldn't control my laughter.

Just then that guy that I got into a fight with yesterday popped out of nowhere draining all of our laughter like a dementor.
