In their eyes there is nothing wrong with their love. Except for the fact that she could get killed if anyone found out. The fact that her mother could get killed. But she's risking it all, for him. *********************************************************************** "Don't cry, don't worry. I ain't got nothing against you. You just stupid." Laughter bubbled up in the boy's chest and she smiled, relieved to have made him laugh. "What's your name?" she asked. "Noah," he said. "What about you?" "I ain't telling you my name. Jus' want to know yours." "Please?" "Fine. Its Bilah." "Will you be my wife, Bilah?" She'd looked at him like he was mad. "You really stupid."

" I think we need a break," I said in an unwavering voice, he nodded dropping his hands from my waist. I needed to get far away from this boy as soon as possible. "You don't like me" he stated. What the fudge was that supposed to mean? We barely knew each other. I looked at him surprised to see the sad look in his eyes. "I...." I licked my lips as I tried to think of what to say. He stared at my lips, his Adam's apple bulging, the grey orbs of his eyes becoming prominent. He held my chin with his thumb and index finger his hands felt warm on my face my chin tingling from his touch. He searched my eyes as if trying to know what I wanted. I was breathing so fast bracing myself for what was coming. He leaned closer as he placed his other hand on my thigh. I gripped the stool tightly, my tummy tingling from the blissful feeling I was experiencing for the first time. _________________________________________ Maria Collins is not really excited about leaving primary school so early for High school but her Mom had planned it all for her.
