''I understand,and I forgive you.'' He said, and hugged me. Later, we both went outside and thew out the black plastic bag, containing all of the things I never wanted to see ever again. ''On Sunday I'm going to go talk to Rama, okay? She'll leave you alone from now on.'' I nodded, giving him a little smile. He took his fingers and wiped away my tears. ''Can I please have your phone?'' He said. ''I want to unfollow and block Rama and those girls, and delete them from bbm.'' I handed over my phone and he deleted all of them. I fell asleep, relieved to finally be done with this whole mess.
*end of memory.
I stood up from the couch, looking and Yousef. ''Sorry'' He said, as he put out the cigarette. ''It's okay, lets just go swimming!'' I said, pushing those memories out of my mind. The past is the past, and I'm a better person because of it.
I tied up my hair and I quickly took off my sweatpants and tank top, so I was just in my bathing suite. I jumped in and floated to the bottom. I lied on my back underwater, watching the rays of the sun dance across the surface of the water. I swam to the top and inhaled the hot air.
I called out to Yousef. ''Come on! The water's wonderful!'' I screamed, splashing him with water. He dived in and surfaced. We both swam to the end of the Olympic-sized pool, which automatically turned into a race.
We raced back and forth across both ends of the pool, until we both gave up from exhaustion. We floated on our backs, until I felt Yousef's eyes on me. ''So school starts in 2 weeks, which means new school year, how fun!'' He said sarcastically. I laughed and swam around a bit. '' Well, you'll get to see your friends more! And since Rama and her friends aren't there anymore, things will be much easier.'' I said, with a sigh of relief.
After swimming, I got up,wrapping my body in a towel. I checked the time. 11:30. ''I'm starving!'' I laughed and called him out of the pool. ''Be ready in 30 minutes!'' He shouted and ran inside. I rushed upstairs, taking a quick shower. After my shower blow dried my hair and put it up in a sleek pony tail. Then I got dressed in a white pencil skirt that reached my knees, and a tucked in pink ruffle shirt with a tan belt. I wore a pair of gold flats and a pink Chanel shoulder bag. I put on my new necklace that Yousef gave me. I looked in the mirror, watching it sparkle in the light. I shook my hair out and sprayed my Chanel number 5 perfume, and I skipped through the door. I remembered looking in the mirror last year, when I left to go to 360 with Rama that Thursday night. Things have changed since then.
I ran downstairs to see Yousef waiting for me. ''You look pretty, as always'' He said and I laughed. I felt silly, like when we were little and used to play ''House''. We would pretend we were married and lived in a big castle. It amazes me that after all these years, were still best friends. Sometimes I think about when were 80, still watching Finding Nemo. I smiled at the thought and walked out the door with him. He opened his black Porshe's door for me, and then climbed into the drivers seat. I always scolded him for driving when he didn't have a licence, but I loved the thrill of it. We drove to Avenues and sat at Dean and Deluca's, my favorite restaurant.
I sat down across from him and ordered food. Yousef ordered and we were just sitting, sipping our drinks and talking. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone familiar. I turned to see who it was and I almost choked on my diet pepsi. Rama.
And she was walking this way.
