LIYANA POV

"So this would end up being the answer, you see?" I explained.

"I guess" Dallas says nonchalantly. I huff as I throw myself onto the bed.

He has been really short with his answers and it's starting to get on my everlasting nerve.

"I still don't see why I have to help you when apparently you already got the hang of it" I complain with my arm over my eyes.

I hear him grunt. "Because I need help."

I lift my arm away from my eyes then turn my head to look at him.

When I look at him, he's already looking at me.

I raise an eyebrow and he just stares back.

We do this for a couple minutes before he looks to his phone.

Yea that's what I thought.

Suddenly the door bursts open and in comes a little blonde hair boy.

"Dallas, Dallas, come watch Tv with me pleaaassseeee!!" The kid yells.

"I'll watch it with you later, I have company Dylan." Dallas says.

Dylan looks over at me. Suddenly his face turns bright red.

"Oh I'm sorry!" He screeches.

I smile, "No you're fine" I say as I sit up on the bed,"I'm Liyana"

"Hi" he says while messing with his fingers.

Dallas gives his brother a glare," Get out".

"But I didn't do any-" Dylan starts the say until he's interrupted by Dallas shooing him out the door and closing it.

"What is your problem?" I say.

"Don't we have work to finish?" Dallas grumbles out,"Then lets get to it."

I look at him skeptically then continue with helping him.

It's around 7 as I am packing up my stuff getting ready to leave.

Dallas lays on his bed while typing on his phone.

"Are you gonna walk me out?" I question while tilting my head.

"You know where your going, I don't need to be your escort" he says lowly.

I roll my eyes then walk out.

As I'm leaving, I run into Mr. Wright.

"Hey, leaving already?" He asks.

I nod.

"That's a bummer" he voices, "I've never seen Dallas bring home anybody, even a girl. I was starting to think he didn't like them."

I chuckle.

"We'll get home safe, it was nice meeting you again." He says.

I wave bye then leave. (PEACE OUT!)
————————————————————————

"Finally some air!!" I yell out as I come out of the steaming bathroom from my shower.

I sit on my bed and grab my phone.

I scroll through Instagram for a little bit until my attention was averted to the necklace on my desk.

I smile then reach to grab it.

It was a hand crafted necklace that I was given when I was in 1st Grade.

*FLASHBACK*
*A Couple Years Back*

"Class we have a new student, this is Liyana. Make her feel welcomed." The teacher says.

"Hi" I say.

"Why does her hair look weird?" A kid booms out.

I touch my twist that have barrettes on them.

"That is not nice" the teacher says.

"They aren't weird, I like them!" I yell. "You wanna fight me?" I question.

The kid cowers back.

"I think they look nice on you" somebody quietly says from the back of the class.

I look to him and his face looks flushed and he isn't making eye contact.

"ewwwwwwww" all the kids say.

I smile, "Thank you!"

A couple of months after that me and the boy became the closest of friends and was inseparable, well that was until we heard the news.

"I don't wanna leave you!" The boy cries out.

"I don't you to leave either" I say as we hug.

"Here I made you something so you can remember me, I asked my dad to spend my candy money for it!" He says as he digs in his pocket.

He pulls out a colorful necklace that has our initials on it.

"I love it! Thank you!" I yell as I squeeze him into another hug.
*FLASHBACK OVER*

I smile sadly then put the necklace back.

I put my phone on the charger and fall asleep.

Hey guys, how was everybody's day?

I'm having some problems on Wattpad where it doesn't allow me to message people back since my account isn't activated apparently and I'm not getting any codes.

I swear I'm not trying to not text back, I just can't😖

Keep on reading!
