Chapter 42

Adam's POV

"He said you're going to marry him soon." I snap, not realizing what I just said.

"What?" Sofia chokes, I look away when she tries to meet with my eyes.

"He was probably joking Adam, oh my god." She takes a step back, and I know that I have ruined our strange friendship. I haven't even gotten to tell her the big news I've been saying over and over to myself: to be sure it sounded right, and now with what I just said.. and fuck...her reaction says it all.

"Is he telling the truth?" I try to sound careless, which isn't a good idea.

"Why does that even matter? You shouldn't have hit him." Sofia narrows her eyebrows.

She's so damn right. Why does it even bother me? Why do I always feel like it's a competion between me and Jonny- Zafir. Whatever the fuck his name is. Why do I hate the fact that she looks happy with him and not me. I don't want this feeling, I don't want to care for someone.

Once I look at her light brown eyes, my mind cools down a bit. But I immediately look away when she looks up at me.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was getting married to Zafir. They seem like their not just friends, but why get married so early? Why does it make my blood boil, knowing that Zafir has more chances in being in a relationship with her than I do.
Why am I getting feelings for her.

"Is he telling the truth or not."

"No." She answers.

Relief washes over me as I quickly try to think why Zafir would say some shit that would make me go off.

He wanted me to attack him, he wants me to look like the bad guy. He wants to have Sofia, and I don't know how to feel about that.

"You're a kafir. She'll never like you, you prick." Zafir said when the team tore us apart.

Whats a kafir? And why does that mean she'll never like me?

Whatever it means it's probably something bad. Hopefully she doesn't hang out with him as much.

"His still an asshole, you shouldn't be around him Sofia." Sofia rolls her eyes for the millionth time.

"I shouldn't be around you but look at where we are." She fires back at me.

I try my best to ignore the stab in my chest, by shrugging my shoulders and walking past her like she doesn't mean a thing to me. When she does.

Sofia's POV

I couldn't really focus throughout the day without wanting to know why Zafir would say something like that. Adam could be just joking around, but the dark aura around him told me otherwise. I hate how I can't really speak to anyone right now. I just wish I had someone I could talk to at this exact moment. Mira and I haven't spoken to each other, just awkward eye contact with each other, I have no idea if we're still friends or not. Its just that time when you don't feel like talking to a friend cause you're both bored of each other I guess. Ifrah obviously isn't in the mood to speak to me, but it's mutual. And Zafir doesn't even greet me anymore, we make awkward eye contact and he'll just turn the other way. I am so happy that he doesn't look beaten up like Adam said he did.

And don't get me started on Adam. His confusing the hell outta me. I guess I can say he does look healthier than the first three weeks of school, but he- its funny really, he kinda reminds me of Tarik in a way, like since Adam joined the soccer team he hanged out with a bunch of people on his team, and also a bunch of jocks. The 'cool kids'. Tarik did the exact same thing, than he embarrassed me- and I swear it when I say I'll never look at him and not think of that. What if Adam does the same thing? What if his friends tells him to pull a prank on me, and he does just to fit in with them..
