"Brody you're being childish, drive me home!" I huffed, annoyed. He can't keep me here. If he isn't going to drive me home, I'll walk home.

"No." he said closing his eyes. He had his seat lowered down and closed his eyes with a smile. He was enjoying this.

"Fine, then I'll walk." I said grabbing my bag getting ready to get out of the car.

*clickclick*

"Did you just seriously lock the doors?" Omg, he's like a 2 year old. "Brody don't be childish, open the freaking doors!"

"Noopp." he said popping the 'p'.

"Open the door." I was getting angry, he can't force me to stay in here.

"Fine", he said opening his eyes, "but", I looked at him who was pulling his seat back up.

"Aren't you afraid that someone is going to kidnap or kill you." he said waiting for an answer with raised eyebrows.

"No, I'm not. So open the doors." I answered.

"Fine."

*clickclick*

"Finally, bye." I said getting out.

A few situations crossed my mind as soon as I got out of the car. Young girls being kidnapped and raped at night, girls being raped and killed. When I took a few steps I bumped into a creepy old man.

"Hey love." he said giving me shivers.

"Okay I can't do this." I said to myself making my way back to the car.

I opened the door and got in.

"Well? You aren't scared, are you?" Brody smirked.

I gave him one of my deadliest glares and eventually gave in. "Fine, I'll go on a date with you." I said rolling my eyes.

"Say Wallah." he said. Where did he learn that from? Great now I need to go for sure on a date with him.

"Who learned you that?", I asked surprised. Whoever taught him that, he or she is dead.

"Malik, apparently if someone says 'Wallah', they won't lie.. Sooo, say Wallah." He said smiling at me.

"Fine, Wallah I'll go on a date with you!" I said.

"That wasn't hard now was it?", he smirked and started the car again.

"Take me home child!" I said annoyed.

He grabbed my face and shaped my lips into a smile with his two fingers.

"Smile, you should be happy going on a date with me. A lot of girls don't get that chance." he said.

"Whatever." I said pushing away his hands.

"Okay c'mon let's go home." he said and he started driving.

He dropped me off at the end of the street, my mother and brother can not see him bringing me home. My plan with Amina would be ruined then.

I unlocked the door and was praying that everybody was already asleep. I saw Amin and mom sitting at the table as I opened the door and took my shoes off. This is bad.

"Safia Bourdini, where the hell were you?" They both looked angry, did they know where I was? Either way, I'm sticking to my story.

"I was at Amina's place like I said." I answered placing my keys and phone on the counter.

Whilst I placed everthing on the counter I saw a few texts from Amina.

"Shooott." I whispered.

"Don't lie, I called Amina's mother. You haven't been there the whole evening." she shouted.

"Mom I was just out with euhm friends." And another lie, doing good Safia..

"I was worried Safia."

"Were you with that Brody guy?" Amin asked who was sitting next to mom.

What do I say now? Shall I just tell them everything or..

"Okay yes I was with Brody, we were just talking about everything that happened."

"I knew you had feelings for that guy!" Amin shouted standing up.

"I don't Amin and it isn't your business anyway!" I shouted back.

"Yes it i-"

"Whetever, I'm going upstairs." I interrupted him.

"You're grounded for a whole week, from school you come directly home!" my mom shouted again.

"Whatever mom". I stopped and turned back around as I was walking upstairs.

"Thank you for always being there for me mom." I said sarcastically and with that I went up to my room.

I heard her shout "What does that suppose to mean." but I ignored her.

I understand why I'm grounded, I should've just asked if I could go and see Brody.. Things weren't going good, I talked back and raised my voice at my own mother, I sneaked out of the house to meet a boy and I haven't prayed the whole day. Astagfirullah.

I did my wudu and asked for forgiveness and guidance.

I lied on bed and took out my phone, I texted Amina back about being grounded and started scrolling through facebook. I bumped into a picture that Brody posted a few minutes ago. His eyes were beautiful in this picture, he was just Ma Shaa Allah..

He already had 60 likes on his picture which was only online for about 5 minutes. I scrolled through the likes and I realized that it were more females that liked his picture than males. Of course, still getting alot of attention from girls. I also scrolled through the comments on his picture, a few people were reacting about what happened today but most people were complimenting his appearance.

His caption got me thinking though, it said: "I will always protect the people that I love". Was he talking about me? I smiled thinking about it. Brody said a few times that he liked & loved me so.. Anyway, I need to stop thinking about him and text him that I'm grounded. I wouldn't see him because he wasn't coming to school either. A perfect chance to postpone our 'date'...

Malik taught me a few things about Islam and to be honest, I was really interested. I loved it when Malik spoke about Islam, but I don't see myself converting anytime soon. It's a too much of a change for now.

I drove home and jumped into bed. Everyone was asleep so I didn't get an interrogation from where I was. I decided to post a picture on facebook with the caption: "I will always protect the people I love." And we all know that I was thinking about one particular girl. I actually posted the picture more for her than for anyone else. It didn't matter what other would say about my appearance, it mattered to me what she would think about it.

I was brushing my teeth to finally go to bed after a hard day until I recieved a message from Safia.

She was lucky, I know that she didn't want to go on a date with me but I did what I was good at, annoy her until she gave in.

I responded back with: babe", I typed that last bit but I deleted it before I send it. I wish I could just call her that, but she would kill me for calling her 'babe'.

she responded and after that I was fast asleep.

It was monday again, and I wasn't looking forward on going to school. People would stare at me but I can't miss classes if I want to get through this year.

Amina and Malik were waiting on me in front of the school because I told them I was afraid of going into school alone.

I gave Amina a hug and I punched Malik for teaching Brody things he now can use against me.

"Aw, what was that for." Malik asked rubbing the spot I punched him.

"For telling Brody what 'Wallahi' means." I replied with a serious expression.

"Well, I'm not sorry." he said and turned around walking towards the school.

I was chatting with Amina about everything that happened, about the assault and that I'm grounded.

I opened my lockers and Amina went to hers, she will be back if she got all her books out of her locker. Malik ditched us and went to his friends.

I picked up the last book I needed for my first period, until I heard someone clearing their throat. 'Please don't be Natalie please don't be Natalie', I begged silently.

"Natalie!" I said when I turned around.

"I wasn't done with you, you little bitch. Lying about being sexually assaulted by a friend of mine. He probably just touched you and you-"

"Walk away whore." I heard someone interrupt her.

Natalie looked behind her and to my astonishment, I saw an angry Britt. Not angry at me, but angry at Natalie. Was she protecting me?

"Lost your tongue? Move along!" she shouted. A few friends backed Britt up by standing next to her. Natalie looked at me, gave me an angry look and left.

I stopped Britt as soon as she wanted to leave.

"Wait, euhm.. thank you." I hesitated.

"Don't need to thank me, friends of my brother are also my friends." And with that she left.

Wait, the Britt that would've killed me at the start of this school year just called me her friend? Weird things are going on at this school..
