The Thin Line In Between

Chapter 12

LIYANA POV

"He was my childhood best friend!!!" I exclaim.

I pace back and forth in my bedroom as Devin and Milo hang out on my sofa.

Milo speaks up,"How exactly do you know that?"

Devin looks at me expectantly.

I huff.

"He literally called me Ana the other day!" I state.

Milo puts up his hands in mock surrender.

"Oooooo he called you Ana, so what? Anybody can call you that" he says.

I throw a pillow at him. My huge fluffy one.

He flies off the sofa with a grunt. "What the hell is in this thing? A bunch of rocks?!" He screeches.

Devin sniggers.

I roll my eyes.

"Back to the matter at hand" I say. "He not only called me Ana but he also recognized the necklace above my desk" I point out.

Devin gives a 'hmm interesting'

"Well if Dallas is your 'long lost best friend' then what happens now that you know?" Milo says crossing his arms.

I shrug. I didn't know what to do.

"I don't know actually" I say softly.

"Well I think you should talk to him you know, rekindle, awwwww y'all could be loversssss!!!" Devin gushes.

I face palm.

Milo gives a look of disgust.

"No NO NO WAY!! There is no replacing us! We are your lovers!" Milo yells.

I roll my eyes and smack him in the back of the head.

"Nigga ima Bad Bitch, I don't need love, besides y'all my crackheads and y'all can't be replaced" I say while hugging them.

"Awwww" they both say in unison while squeezing me.

I tense up. "Guys...I can't breath man" I wheeze out.

Devin sniffles.

They both let go.

"Bitch are you crying?" I say laughing a little.

"You know I'm sensitive hoe!" She sobs.

Me and Milo burst out laughing.

DALLAS POV

"Get out" I grumble to Dylan.

He crosses his arms in a childish way and huffs.

"But I wanna be in here when Liyana comes" he pouts.

I point to the door.

"Out!" I grit out.

He rolls his eyes and stomps out my room.

I stand up and go to close my door when the bell rings.

My heart picks up speed.

It's Liyana.

I went to open the door.

When I do, she is looking at me with a blank face.

Well damn what did I do already?

"I been knocking for a fucking while, about damn time!!" She say as she walk in and to my room.

I just stand there and my mouth catches flies.

"Come now, lets get this thing on the road" she yells.
——————————————————————————

"If this equals this, then what is the missing factor fam?!" Liyana asks again.

I again say "I. Don't. Know" I grumble out.

She closes the book, "Don't get no attitude with me, you the one failing Miss Ma'am"

Miss ma'am?

"I'm a man" I mumble.

"Sure you are" she says.

I raise an eyebrow and give a slight smirk.

I can show her just how much of a man I am.

"Oh before I forget, when we're you gonna tell me that we were childhood friends D?" She says with a pointed look.

I tense. I swallow.

"Um I wasn't" I grit out.

She tilts her head,"How long did you know?"

"sinceeigthgrade" I mumble.

"Huh?!" She bucks her head forward to listen clearly.

"Since eight grade" I sigh.

"Boy what the FUCK! And you didn't tell ME?" She says in shock and with a hurt expression.

"I thought you wouldn't know who I was, you know?" I try to slide.

"Nahhhh I don't know, that's fucked up bruh." She says.

I put my head down.

"I-I was going through something ok." I say softly.

She turns her head towards me.

"What is something?" She asks genuinely interested.

I hesitate.

"I don't wanna bother you with my weight" I say seriously.

She rolls her eyes.

"Do I look like somebody that fucking cares about weight nigga? Nah I don't so tell me, you can trust me." She says softly.

She scoots towards me on the bed.

I tense up and keep distance away from her.

I can't. I just can't.

No matter how much I try to forget, I just can't.

I clench my jaw.

"Maybe some other time, not now" I barely get out.

She looks at me intensely then shakes her head in understanding.

"Would you like to continue the session even though I know you fucking with me." She says.

"What you talking about?" I try to say.

She shakes her head,"Uh Uh don't try that, I know you a straight fucking A student, you just acting dumb. Am I right or am I right?" She challenged.

I smirk and give a slight chuckle while shaking my head.

"Damn you really observant" I say.

"Mhmmm, I wonder what the reason was for though?" She strokes her chin in thought.

I laugh.

"Come on now, back to the tutoring session" I dismiss.

"Boy BYEEE!! You don't need no DAMN tutoring!" She burst out laughing.

I give a slight smile then look at her.
