Story

At school, things also weren’t looking good for Sabrina. She was putting her stuff in her pink locker when Lukas appeared behind her. >>If you dare not accept me as your boyfriend, then be ready to face the consequences<<. He threatens Sabrina in a clear, low tone, leaving with that. Looking straight at him, sadness and fear started to consume her. >>When will all of this end?<<. She asked herself. In his mind, it was ages, but it was an incident from yesterday for her. The sun had set, but Sabrina was still lost in thoughts until her mother entered the room. She asks about her daughter’s well-being, not getting even a hint about what she is dealing with. It was dinner time. Although her family couldn’t have stopped her from hanging out with Lukas that night, she partially blames them, too. The sad face redrew after listening to her father. His jokes aren’t the best, but they are good enough to make Sabrina feel more homely. The night was just lovely but not lovelier than Amir’s and Sara’s. She was finally finished after standing in front of her mirror for two hours. Her beauty is indescribable. She looked stunning in her red dress, which matched her red-painted lips. >>Take these roses. Before I met your father that night at the musicals<<, my mother gave me such. Her mother interrupted >> get what’s yours<<. She continued. Sara was confused because the last time she remembered, her mother wasn’t supposed to know anything about any guy, yet she found out. But hiding her shyness, she accepts the roses, promises her mother to return before eleven, and rushes through the doors. As she made her way downstairs, there he was, Amir. Her expression couldn’t differentiate between confusion and joy because they planned on meeting at the bus stop. But as if the breathtaking Amir bewitched her, she slowly approached him, and, not surprisingly, they started to stare into each other’s eyes again for the 30th time. >>You look stunning!<< Amir’s finally said adorably. >>But I thought I always looked pretty.<< Sara questioned him intentionally. >>I meant… I mean, you always do<<. Amir stammered shyly. >>Shall we<<. He said, offering Sara his crossed elbows. Sara’s giggling mother observed all of this. Her concert was cut short as the pair disappeared behind the closed main door. It was a full moon tonight, and the upcoming couple walked under it. It was an enjoyable night for the two as they asked themselves question after question. After being completely thrown off by the serious question Amir asked about her family, Sara also decided to find out more about his mysterious date with whom she had been acquitted for the last months. >>So… Amir, what about you? Any childhood fun memories?<< >>I did have a perfect childhood. My parents were very kind to my three brothers and me. Especially my mother, who was always there for us. She helped me get an A in my mathematics homework this time. She was in the Mathematics Olympics. My dad was somehow also there for us. I think…<<. Amir completed. The same thing couldn’t be said by Sara, knowing her sad past. But she was showing her cutest face to her upcoming boyfriend. The two reached the restaurant and had their best night ever. They exited the nice, warming place and returned to the streets. Holding her hands, Amir asks if it would be possible to go on another date with Sara again. Sara smiled, indicating her agreement.
