14 Definitely Not a Date

HADIZAT “Wow that couple looked really in love,” Imran said sarcastically as we rode back home. I felt jealousy almost consume me again. I let out a small huff and rolled my eyes. “He’s the guy you were talking about right?” his lips pulled together tighter, I nodded. He didn’t say anything after that; instead he focused on the program on the radio as I spaced out thinking. Whether Salim and his girlfriend looked in love or not, they sure did look perfect, they looked like a couple on the cover of a magazine. If I thought I had the slightest chance with him, his perfect girlfriend had just destroyed it. I mean who is an oil seller to compete with a girl like that. I laughed at my thoughts, then I wondered what he would want to say to an oil seller, he was probably just punishing me for lying and for spilling oil and cracking his very EXPENSIVE car. "are you okay", I ran asked looking truly worried. "of course. Why wouldn't I be?" "you look like you're about to cry"
