Chapter 4
I turned around to see Shawn, I looked at him with hope in my eyes, I just want him to leave me, nobody stood up for me like that except Taylor and his friends.
"I know I don't know anything about you, so let me know things about you" He put his hand in my shoulder. I felt something I've never felt it before... I felt love
Shawn
She ran away, where is she going? I ran out and followed her.. What the heck? Where is she going?!
She ran to my secret place, I'm sure she doesn't know where is she going, suddenly, she stopped walking and turned around. When she looked at me, I felt something weird.
I walked to her and saw hope in her eyes. How can a human be that beautiful?
"I know I don't know anything about you, so let me know things about you" I put my hand in her shoulder and I felt sparkles and fireworks.
Is it love?
"Let's sit down". We sat in front of the lake and we just laid there "I moved here when I was 6"
"Why?"
"My parents used to beat me"
"Where?"
"UAE, United Arab Emirates, it's not like you should hate on Muslims, but she didn't really follow the Islam rules, she drinks everyday, he's out fucking girls! My brother hurts me just so he don't get hurt."
"I'm sorry, Shawn"
"You know the girl thing, we have it ev-" i cut her off
"Period" I nodded my head
"Huh, anyways, Muslims have to wear scarf on, so they can cover their hair" she sighed "but they didn't let me wear it"
"I don't know what to say"
"Of course you don't"
"Can I hug you?"
"You want to hug me?"
"Yeah" I hugged her tight and she took a while until she hugs back.
"Thanks"
"Don't thank me"
"But thanks"
"Reem!"
"Call me Alex please"
"Ok?"
"But if I was mad at you, I'd call you Reem"
"Ok"
"This is my secret place, I come here to relax"
"Whoops! Sorry"
"It's okay! I'm glad we came here"
"What school you go?"
"I'm going to move to your school next year! I'm excited! After the summer vocation I'm going to be in your school" I said excitedly.
"Good!"
"I know right"
"ALEXIS LEE CANIFF" someone yelled and we turned around to see...
