I Can't Lose You (ON HOLD)

“We’re here!” Keith said, between his breaths.

My heart was beating so fast. I was exhausted from running with this dork.

“Where are we?” I asked, looking around.

“Don’t you know this place?” He asked, almost laughing.

“Why would you think I’ll ask if I know where the hell are we?” I said, almost shouting.

He smirked, “Oh, you look so cute!” He winked with that gorgeous smile on his face. Wait, did I just say gorgeous? No, no, no, no! Forget what I said.

“This is the only place where I can only sit there in the corner and think. I mean, this is my kind of place where I can think of things that really matters to me.” He sat on the ground, touching the grass with his bare hands. “You know what I mean, do you? Like when it comes to girls, they like to think inside their room, looking out on their window with the moon’s light shining down their faces..”

“I’m not stupid, I know what you mean.” I said, crossing my arms.

He sighed, “Are you really going to stand there for the whole time?”

“No because, I’m going back to my class.”

“Oh c’mon Buckley, school will never be fun if you keep on following rules.”

I didn’t mind what he said. I walked back going inside school. I heard feet running towards me. This devil really ruins my life, ugh!

He grasped my arm, “Please?”

“Let go off me! I need to go!” I answered, trying to let go.

"I’m not letting you until you come with me!”

“What the fuck, Williams? Can’t you understand, I need to be in my class!”

And with that, he gave me that piggy back ride and holds my feet tightly.
We sat beside the trunk of this very huge oak tree, just looking at the sky. To be honest, it was peaceful. You can only hear the breeze of air brushing through your skin. No voices of other people, no teachers, no clock ticking, no chair sounds. It was calm and serene. It was like a paradise, to be exact.

“Can we go now?” I asked, breaking the silence.

“No, stay with me. Enjoy the place, Buckley!” He answered, taking a quick glance at me.

I sighed in a bit of frustration, “So what are we going to do now?”

“We can talk..” He said, sounding more like a question.

I raised an eyebrow, “In the neighborhood of what?”

“Maybe like, why are you so ugly and annoying?” He asked, with no reaction on his face.

I slap his arm hoping he would get hurt, “No, let’s talk about why are you so evil and why do you keep on bullying people? Not just me, but the other kids in school too. Yeah, that one!” I said. “Oh wait, and why are you considered as the bad boy huh?”

He shook his head, smirking.

“What? Can’t answer? Heh, I doubt it.”

“You don’t know me, Buckley.” He said, with serious tone on his voice.

"Oh I know you Williams.." I said with pride, "you are the bad boy in this school. You play with girls' feelings and never cared about it. You are a bully, especially to me! You’re always at detention, well not always, but most of the time. I think it's the same.” I shrugged, “Another thing, most of the girls here in this school are head over heels for you. Everyone stares at you and your friends when you enter the cafeteria or the hall. See? I know you."
