"Hey Brody wait!" I yelled when he couldn't be faster away from me.

"What do you want Safia?" He asked when I finally walked next to him.

"Gosh, chill." why was he in a bad mood all of a sudden? "What was that in class?"

He stopped and looked at me, I did the same and waited for a response.

"What do you mean?" He said with a smile, which I knew was fake.

"Don't act like nothing is wrong, you coughed up blood!" I said annoyed. Why was he acting like nothing happened?

"I don't know what you mean Safia." He responded and walked away from me again.

"Brody don't lie, just tell me what's wrong?" I said when I was walking behind him trying to keep up.

"Safia! Leave me alone will you." He said on a loud volume which made everyone look at us.

Brody looked around and looked back at me, "Leave me alone, I didn't see any blood." He said and walked away.

I didn't even tried to talk to him again, I'm not blind.. If he doesn't want to talk about what happened then it's his problem. I'm not the type of girl to run after people..

I walked to my next class which I had with Amina and Malik. I'm not telling them what happened, it's not my business anyway.

After a heavy day, I only had one class to go. Actually the class I always was looking forward to, history. There is something about history that really interests me. I had history with Brody but he was nowhere to be seen, why wasn't he in class?

Brody just skipped history again, it wasn't the first time. It was soo bad that even the teacher noticed it, he asked me to stay after class and asked me where Brody was. Like I know where he was hanging out.

"I don't know sir, I'm not around him 24/7." I said annoyed. I was annoyed because every teacher thinks I have something with Brody just because we hang out from time to time. It's not like he's my best friend or boyfriend or something... He is neither of that, which friend tries to let you believe things you have seen with your own damn eyes.

I was walking to the exit of the school and Brody was the only person I could think about. What if something is really wrong with him? I was thinking about when everything was different between us, the time he said he loved me or the time he was holding on to me.

"Why are you smiling like a crazy person?"

"Huh?" I said when Malik pulled me out of my flashback.

"Who are you thinking about huh?" He said pushing me with his arm, "You know what, don't answer that, I know who you were thinking of." He smirked.

"Shut up!" I said pushing him back, "What are you doing here anyway? I thought you left?"

"Well, with everything that happened, I thought it would be a great idea to hang out like we used to do.. Have some fun, what you think?" Malik said.

I looked at him whilst he was looking at me enthusiastically, why not I thought.

"Sure, like old times huh!" I said.

And that's what we did, we went out, ate something and hung around whilst bursting out in laughter like we used to do. We used to laugh at random people on the streets, we would sit down next to each other on a bench and stare at people that walked by. Yes I know, not that nice but we were really low key so nobody really noticed us.

It was getting pretty late, Malik brought me home and hung out with my older brother afterwards. When I finally opened my phone after 4 hours, I saw that I had 5 missed calls of Brody and 4 unread messages. Why was he stalking me this hard? What was wrong with him?

I opened the messages, one said that he needed to see me and so did the other 2. The last one was him telling me to meet him at the park. It would be dark in like 30 minutes, I can't go out now? My brother would kill me.. my mother had a late shift so she wouldn't be arguing with me about going out but I can't just.... I looked at the messages again and wanted an explanation for what happened in class, so I decided to meet him.

I sneaked out of the house without my brother or Malik noticing me.

I arrived at the park and saw Brody waiting on a bench with his head in his hands. I was late so as soon he wanted to go home, he saw me. I looked at him confused as I was walking closer to him. He better has a good explanation for dragging me to the park at this time.

"You came." Brody said surprised and you could see that he was somehow relieved.

"Of course, so what's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore!" He said looking me directly in the eyes. Brody was not that much taller than me, probably like 1 head taller than me.

"What what what do you mean, I don't understand what y..." I couldn't even finish my sentence. I suddenly felt this warmth glow going through my entire body. He was kissing me, he actually was kissing me for the first time. It was so wrong but it felt so good.

It was magical, the way his lips connected with mine. It was right, and somehow, among all of the dizziness and the clinging to him like a life line, something inside me changed, never to be reversed. This new feeling could be dwelled upon later, because, for now, I was content to feel his breath come and go with mine. But I knew that I would regret getting this close to him, I would hate myself for doing so.

He let go of my cheeks which he was holding on to when we were kissing, more like he was kissing me, I didn't kiss back, I was in shock I guess.

And he just left, he kissed me, let go of me and left. What kind of guy leaves when he just kissed a girl? I didn't scream for him to come back mostly because my brain didn't comprehend what just happened. My brain was all over the place, but my heart was beating at a speed I have never experienced before.

As our lips crushed together, I felt like I was walking on air. She didn't budge nor did she kiss back but it was then that I realised that I could never be with her.

She can't be mine and I would never be hers.
