Crush

A few weeks have gone by since their dad's accident. Nothing has really happened. Kiara's siblings hardly bully her at least they haven't physically abused her in a while they've only made some side remarks.

Kyle and Sam have taken up the responsibilities of running the house by getting part time jobs. They still don't feed Kiara full meals and still let's her eats their leftovers.

Kiara takes up another part-time job she does during weekends to start resaving for her college fees and for her daily life too since she has to buy food for herself.

It's a Monday morning and Kiara and her siblings are in school. During the past few weeks, Kiara and Jackson have gotten a lot closer and Kiara has a sort of crush on him.

It's lunch time and Jackson had asked Kiara to meet him by the track side.

"Kiara. I've been meaning to tell you something really important now" Jackson says to Kiara who looks confused.

" I don't know how or when but I like you and I will love to be your boyfriend" Jackson adds in.

Kiara looks completely shocked yet happy and excited but then her insecurities kicks in making her hesitant. She feels like what he said is too good to be true and akses why her and not the others.

Seeing Kiara's hesitation Jackson gently grabs her hands " It's okay if you don't feel the same I understand" he says.

Kiara shakes her head "No no it's not that...it's just I feel it's too fast. We haven't gotten to know much of each other" she says shyly.

"That's not a problem. We can start as gently as you want. Would you like to go on a date on Saturday to start things?" Jackson suggests.

"Y-yah I would like that" Kiara smiles as she says.

"Okay cool. Where would you like to go to?" Jackson askes.

"Umm I don't know.. maybe the place I first saw you?" Kiara says.

"Okay not a problem. I'll pick you up text me your address when you get home" Jackson says to Kiara.

"No no no. Don't I'll come to the cafe myself" Kiara says knowing if Jackson came to her house and her siblings sees her with him things may not go well.

"Okay... No problem. Let's head back to class" Jackson says pecking Kiara on the cheek before they head to class.
