"What are you doing!?"I glared at him.

"What do you think?" Rolex smiled.

"Let it go!" I snapped back at him as I pulled the trays towards me.

"Your struggling, let me help you" He pulled the trays towards him.

"I'm not struggling!" I hissed and pulled the trays towards me.

"Is everything okay?" Bamee approached us.

"Yeah, everything is fine" I pulled on a fake smile. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"They told me to come and help you" she replied.

"It's fine, I can handle it" I smiled.

"With my help" Rolex added as he pulled the trays out off my hands when I didn't expected it to happened and befor I could say anything he walked away.

We followed him.

"Who is he?" Bamee asked dreamingly.

"......A....person I know from school" I explained.

"He is your boyfriend right?" She convinced.

"No! Of course not!" I muttered as Rolex glanced at us.

"You want to kept it a secret right, I will not tell anyone"She whispered.

I was relieved.

"Unless you tell me the truth." She grinned.

"I told you! He's not my boyfriend!" I whispered.

"Why are you whispering?. Your lieing, you guys look so perfect for each other." She laughed.

"Okay, he's my boyfriend just dont go and blabbed about it okay?" I lied and whispered to her.

"Knew it" she grinned "its normal for an 17 year old like you to have a boyfriend."

"Hey, why don't you go and get us some tissues and tomato and chilly sauce for us?" I said trying to drive her away.

She walked away and Rolex slowed down waiting for me to catch up.

"Just a person you know?" He whispered. His face was straight.. No emotions comeing out of it at all.

I didn't know what to replied so I said " If not then what?"

"I guess that I'm nothing to you,right?" He said.

"What you mean?" I frown.

"Not....even a friend" His face was straight.

I didn't know how to answer that so by the time we got the food there. My cousin said that he was wellcom to sit with us. He did take the offer. We all sat down together and talk. We asked him if he wanted anything to eat ..he said no.

He just sat there talking to my cousins...sometimes he sat there motionless... As if...he was a doll. I know it's a crazy thoughts but... There is something about him that is unique....it made me wanting to know more about him, and if it's possible... to be with him.The hole time I was thinking about what he said::

"Not....even a friend"

Not...even a friend....not...even  a friend....not....even a friend..." I thought....what did he meant by that?.....

......

"Ploy how are you going to get back to your apartment?" P'Mae asked me but I was too busy. Thinking.

"I could take her back"Rolex offered.

"Ahh thank you that would be great! She doesn't have to go on skytrain on her own"P'Mae smiled.

"I can drive her" He said.

"That would be great" Bamee laughed

He got up and was ready to go. "C'mon" He said.

"What?" I asked.

"He is taking you home"P'Mae said.

"What!!" I was surprised. He hold my wrist.

"Don't forget to bring him to our house for diner next time!" Bamee exclaimed.

He guided me to the Mc Donald's door. Bamee gave me a wink as I looked back and wave at them.

We walked outside to the carpark.

"You can let go of me now, and I can go to the skytrain by myself" I said.

"No, I told them that I will take you home" He said while pressed the car key and his dark blue Audi flashed with yellow light coming from the indacators.

He opened the door for me and pushed me in to the front seat and closed the door. He then sat at the drivers seat. I tried to open the door but he locked the door.

"Let me goo!" I protested. And tried to open the door..

"Sit still and put on your seat belt" He said.

"No" I folded my arms.

"Have it your way then" he said. I was wonder what he was doing. He moved closer to me.

"Wh..wh..what ..are you doing!" I stammered...he moved closer...and closer...I moved back in my seat. He moved closer and closer untill our face was about

5inch apart. I couldn't movie back any farther. I was soo scared that he would...kiss me...then, he would be the person that stole my first kiss.

I could felt the warmth of his breath against my face. He stoped comeing closer. "Put on your seat belt" he sigh.

I did as I was told. He sat back in his seat, after awhile he laughed.

"What is so funny?"I asked.

"I cant believed that it works on you!!" He laughed. I sat there with a frawn.

"I'm your boyfriend....really?" He laughed so hard....I have never seen him like that before.

"...You....heard all of that?"I blushed. I did not thought that he would overheard the conversation that I had with Bamee.

".....let's just say....most of it" He smiled.

I never seen him like this ....I felt so sorry for the things I said to him. It makes me felt like I'm a stupit, mean, slob. Maybe I should give him a chance?...

He drove on, we came to a red light... I was still thinking about what he said...."Not...even a friend....not even a friend.....not ..even a friend..." I thought over and over.

The traffic light number was 60....59....58.....57....56....55......

"Friend" I blurted out.

He looked at me with his honey golden brown eyes and one of his eyebrows went up.

"Can we.?...."I asked as the traffic light number was 45.....44....43...42...41..

"I want to but I dont know if we can"He frown.

" what do you mean by that?" I was confused.

"We are not supposed to be friends" He looked up at the traffic light.. it was now 27...26...25...

He was the one, who wanted to be friends at the first place, I'm sure...becuase he was the one who said 'Not..even friends?'...but now I asked him and he just...

10....9...8...7....6...5...

"Maybe"He finally said it. And the traffic light was 4,..3..2..1 green lights flashed and he drove on.

I still don't know why we can't be friends....

He drove me to the front of the apartment entrance and I got out of the car. He waited for me to get in the apartment before he leaved.

As I opened the apartment door half way....I turned around....

"Thank you" I smiled. Then he gave me his lopsided smile before I turned and went in.......
