 Samaar's POV 

The second semester was starting today. My first periods switched from the first floor to the second floor and It was grade twelve chemistry with Conner. My other friends were in the same class too so I was happy. Yusra on the other hand wasn't able to get into the class which made me sad. There were a couple of students in the class I've never seen nor heard of. It was like a whole new world. I found a seat and sat down. Conner came and started to talk to me. But he already knew that sitting beside me wasn't a good idea since I wasn't comfortable with it. 

A girl in a blue hijab bumped into him and said sorry. Then she turned to me and smiled. "Do you mind if I sit beside you?" She asked. I shook my head and smiled.

"It's all yours!" I said. She sat down and Conner smiled and the class started. 

"Sweet!" She said.

Well if you guys haven't noticed... I have actually started acting normal. A lot happened in the last few months, and a lot changed. I changed back to my old self which I'm happy and proud of. On the other hand Sheath... changed for the worst. He never makes an effort to talk to me and neither do I. He still didn't know that my parents knew everything. He grew into a serious person who doesn't even pay attention to life, except his friends. I wasn't the only one who noticed the change, Sheath's parents were one step ahead of me. They knew he was about to explode one day. I on the other hand can't understand why though. 

The girl turned out to be a 12th grader (the obvious). She was graduating the same time Sheath was and she was shy. Her name was Aasiyah and she was Somali. We started talking about our families and she found out about my situation and gave me her sympathy. We ended up having so much in common. Especially the fact that she hated guys just like me. She found them completely useless. 

"Well except some guys like... uh... oh! There's Sheath and the quiet Conner dude! Also Daniel and Danny the twins. They can think straight." My face scrunched up and she applied a huge question mark on her face. "What?" She asked. I laughed.

"Nothing." 

Half the period passed by, and then there was a knock on the door. One of the students at the front opened the door and my heart skipped a beat. He told his mom he already took grade twelve chemistry, didn't he?

What was Sheath doing in the same class as me?

I only wanted to get chemistry done with since I had a strong dislike for it and now I have to deal with two dislikes?

After the day I told my parents, they told me how things weren't going to be rushed. Even if I was going to get married, I'd probably get married at the age of twenty or something. So if I didn't have a problem with Sheath our future plans would still proceed... is what I think it meant by.

I tried... I honestly tried breaking off the marriage but I guess it's not in my hands. Besides there's more than three years left. Sheath could handle the rest without my help.

He went up to the teacher and passed him a note and waited for the teacher to let him go and then took the empty spot in front of me. Conner eyed me and I turned away. It was the closest empty spot near the door so it was fine. It's not like he sat here because of me. When everyone started talking to each other Sheath immediately turned around. I was a little scared.

"What are you doing in a grade twelve class?" He asked.

"I'm getting rid of chemistry" I said. Then he nodded and turned around. Did I do something wrong or something? 

Aasiyah nudged me and slipped a paper over to me which read 'You KNOW Sheath?' 

I nodded and wrote 'sort of'
