"No, please don't tell me I dropped it," I mumble, looking in my school bag. I know that there's no chance of it being in there because I listened to music that morning and shoved the iPod into my pocket. I keep on looking, even though I know that my iPod isn't there.
Maybe Jenna took it? It happens a lot. I close my locker and take long yet quick steps back to the cafeteria. I want to run, but I see one of the teachers talking to the principal in the hall. Ms. Mathers seems to be flirting her way to another raise with Principal Jenkins.
And apparently, I look at them for too long. I don't have time to avoid bumping into whoever I hit. I look up, my mouth already forming the
I'm sorry.
My heartbeat is nonexistent for a few seconds.
A boy with smiling brown eyes looks down at me. His lips are slightly open, looking like he is about to form the same words as me. I can see the dimple on his cheek, the one I liked to see so often, the one spot I liked to poke a lot. There's a small, almost unnoticeable scar on his smooth chin from the time we went roller-skating and he fell on a rock.
"S-sorry, I didn't see you there," I say, my voice barely audible. I start walking away from him. My mind is fuzzy, and I can't seem to think straight.
A hand grabs my arm, and I freeze. "Wait," he says, but all I think about is how strong his grip is on my arm. I turn to face him, my heart beating loud enough for the world to hear.
He puts something in my hand. I look, and it's my iPod. My eyes go to him again, this time in confusion.
"I found it on the ground, beside your locker," he says, scratching the back of his neck. And I know he only did that because he feels uncomfortable.
I nod. "Thanks, Ethan."
"Anytime, Mars." He walks away.
All I can think about is the fact that he called me by the nickname he created himself, this time of last year. I press the power button to reveal the lock screen on my iPod. My breath gets caught in my throat.
The background is an old picture of us, when we'd just started dating. The picture captures me, laughing, and him smiling at me. Jenna took that picture.
Ethan had changed the background to a picture of us.
Why, though? Doesn't he know how badly I miss him already? How hard it is for me? Does he miss me? No-he doesn't. So why change my background?
A tear rolls down involuntarily on my cheek, and it splatters on the picture of us.
I close the iPod.
Acknowledgements:
First and foremost, this is a work of pure fiction. Everything in this book was created by me; the characters, the plot, etc.
Mom, Dad and Ahmed, I love you with all of my heart. I will never forget the fake interviews we made when we heard that this would be published. Family’s forever and I couldn’t be happier that you are my family. You are the biggest pieces of my heart and seeing you happy makes me the happiest girl alive.
I would like to thank Luciana Jhon Carpena, for always standing by my side and being the sister I never had. I hope this makes you cry over and over again, smile and love me even more than you do now.
Dananeele Jean-Baptiste, thank you for everything. You are the one who pushed me to start writing, and now, I think this will remain a part of my life forever. I hope you enjoy this book and we celebrate about this until our teeth fall out.
All of my friends; Shivany, Marcheli, Henia, Sarah, Nikita. I want you all to know how grateful I am to have you guys. Without your encouragement and help, I don’t think I would’ve been able to do all of this. And how can I forget; my fake managers! Thank you for giving me hope that this story would be published one day!
Grace Perral, my agent, thank you for finding my story and me! Without you and your help, this would’ve forever stayed a little story on Wattpad. You changed my life.
And a huge thank you to Dhalia A. for the extraordinary book cover!
An extra thank you to Edward Christopher Sheeran, for being such an inspiration. Without him and his songs, I don’t think I would’ve been able to write the book. I listen to his songs, most of the time while writing. So, thanks Ed.
Most importantly though, I would like to give a huge group hug to every single person who has started reading this story ever since it was a little story with a few views on Wattpad! You have survived this emotional rollercoaster with me, and you have been with me all the way. Without you, I don’t think I would’ve ever been able to finish this story, much less publish it!
Special Thanks to my greatest fans!
