TOUCH

“Did you see the look on his face” “No, I wasn’t looking” Of course I wasn’t looking, if he caught me staring at him he would cause a scene.Not just a quick out burst a major scene. “Why are you so scared of him”Xyla asked walking past me to stand in front of me.”I’m not-“ “Yes the f**k you are scare of him, because he so called treats you rudely were in high school get over it seriously”Xyla interrupted. I huffed before rolling my eyes, “whatever xy it’s never that serious for you to say all that”I mumbled grabbing my things. “What are you leaving now? Oh come on you are such a f*****g crybaby”Xyla laughed. “f**k you Xyla”I yelled walking towards the parking lot.I really don’t understand how she can just keep going and going like that. I sat at the bus stop down the street from the school, my head rested in my hands as I listened to the music blasting from my AirPods. A small ding from my phone broke me out the uncomfortable silence I was sitting in.I looked at my phone unlocking it to reveal a message reading. ‘Stop by the grocery store to pick up the rest of the stuff for tacos’ I rolled my eyes at the thought of having to go somewhere before going home, I really hated not being able to go straight home. “hey what’s your name again” I cringed at the familiar voice who not only bothers me everyday but mentally tortures me all day. “Romi-“ “What the f**k I tell you about saying my full name”he yelled.”I’m sorry”I apologized mentally rolling my eyes. “That’s what I thought Amara” “It’s Amariah”I corrected looking up at him.He stood in front of me, not to close but close enough.”Oh- you talking back today”he chuckled pulling his phone out. “leave me alone Rome”I tried scolding but he shrugged off my annoyance and and just laughed. Damn his laugh is so f*****g sexy, how deep it is makes it so much better. “Whatever Amara, better hurry home before something bad happens to you”He warned walking off to his car.His all black Camaro that suited him so much. Once he pulled off I was pulled into my imagination, the thought of having a friendly relationship with Rome always had me thinking. What if it was like how it was in 6th grade, when he was my best friend or so I thought he was.The sound of the bus doors opening caught my attention. I quickly stood up and walked onto the bus due to the busy hour it was over packed, I held onto the rail as the bus pulled off. About 10 minutes later I was getting off in front of the local grocery store.What do I need again, Sour cream, Salsa, and cheese. I picked up the items and payed at the register before deciding that I was going to walk the rest of the way home instead of waiting for another bus. I texted my mom that I was on the way home just in case something happens.I placed a piece of gum in my mouth out of the pack I just stole, I didn’t steal it on purpose I picked it up while she was ringing it up and forgot to put it down for scanning. It was only 35 cent though, I’ll just put it back in the donation cup next time I go in the store.
