At the end of the day Star and Sara went to the detention room , the teacher was already there and three other students Two black boys and a white girl , Star walked across the room and took a seat with sara . a moments later the door opened and Harry came in
" you're late again Harry" the teacher said
" am sorry " he apologized and walked in he looked at Star and Smiled then took a seat behind her ..
Hours passed and it seemed like days the class was quite and the teacher was reading a book .
Sara was playing with her hair .
Star felt something poking her back she slowly turned around to see Harry smiling , he gave her a paper she took it and turned back in front of her , She unfolded it the first thing she noticed is that his handwriting was really bad
- I heard about the fight in the cafeteria , can I know the reason?
She read the letter then folded it back and said nothing she didn't reply , he poked her again with his pen and gave her another paper
- it's boring here I could use some company and I'll appreciate it if you atleast replied
She took out her pen and wrote down .
- why are you talking to me?!!
She passed him the note .
and he passed it back quickly he circled the sentence ' I could use some company '
- you know what I mean she wrote to him and she heard him laugh
- what time is it ?
He asked
- 2:30
- we'll be free 2 go , by 3 , meet me at the parking .
- No !
- you can bring a friend if you're afraid .
- why?
She asked him but he didn't reply back she turned and found him laying back to his chair smiling .
She looked at Sara she was at another dimension with her thoughts .
After the half hour the teacher stood and asked them to go home Star didn't move until she saw harry walking out of the class .
" come on" Sara said
They got up and walked out the school
" am so hungry let's go to your place " Sara said
" okay but first come with me " Star said
" where ?" Sara asked but star already started walking so she had to follow .
They went behind the school where the parking was .
" where are we going star! We'll miss the bus " sara said
The parking was empty only Harry's black car was there and he was sitting on it
" I thought you'll never come " he said standing up .
" is he talking to you!!" Sara whispered but Star still didn't respond they stood near him waiting for him to say something " so ?" Star asked
" aren't you gonna answer my question about the fight?" He asked
" no not really it's a girl thing " Star said
" okay I see , sorry then "
" so you asked me to come here just to tell you a story! " Star said .
" No not at all " he said then he looked at sara " I see you brought your friend , you're not really afraid , aren't you? " he said smiling and lowering his eyebrow .
But Star said nothing she just looked at him
" ookay .. I think you like being formal.. I need your help in history if you won't mind" he said putting his hands in his pockets
" my help?!" Star asked
" Yes .. Mr . Smith talked to me after the class and he told me that I need to pass history to graduate high school and as u know the assignment have marks you may help me in the assignment and in memorizing the names and the actions " he said

" I know but aren't you afraid to be seen with me?" She asked
" I know a place , it's in the eastern side of the park , it's quite and no one actually goes there , we can use it " he said.
" okay it's your choice" star said
" so I'll meet you there ?" He asked

" What?"
" where you just talking to THE Harry!" She said
" clearly yes " star answered
" no one has ever seen him talking to a black girl!" Sara said as they walked to Star house
" I know " Star said
" okay you've to tell me the whole story from the beginning " she said
" there's no story it's just what you heard now" Star said
And sara was just staring so Star hit her in the shoulder.
They walked all the way to Star's house since they missed the bus , the front door was open , they walked in and threw there bags beside the door her brother and his best friend Drew were watching football , so they walked straight to the kitchen and searched for something to eat but there was nothing in the fridge but some vegetables and milk ,
" do you have any money left?" Star asked sara
" No not really" sara answered
" then we either wait for dad to come home or ask Travis for money" Star said
" asking Travis will be better" sara said
Star walked to the living room
" hey Drew " she said as she took a seat and Drew nodded his head smiling
" Travis I need some money we're starving but nothing to eat " Star said
" I can't help , didn't work today" he said
" how much do you need ?" Drew asked
" no it's okay thanks we'll figure out something" Star said
" really Star! ! am not a stranger! Just tell me how much you need " he said
" anything will be fine " she said
So he took out some cash and gave it to her " thanks " she said
" anytime sis " Drew said
She took the money and went back to the kitchen and gave the money to Sara " wow Travis is playing hard" sara said counting the money
" it's from Drew " Star said
" ooooh " Sara said giving Star the devil look
" it's because am a sister to him as he says.. move it " she said as she walked out of the house followed by Sara .
They walked to the burger restaurant it had an indoor tables for the white and an outdoor tables for the black they had to order through a window in the parking
They stood in the line and waited until it was there turn they ordered two burgers with some fries. They took a table of two .
" isn't that Harry's car ?" Sara asked and Star turned to see a black car parking behind her it was Harry's he got out with another boy and Tiffany.
Harry saw them and smiled at them and Tiffany noticed that so she held his arm and walked away , Star turned back to find Sara looking at her .
" eat your burger" Star said .
