Chapter 33 - Run ins
“Will your parents be cool with you going on a trip with us?” I ask Golden when we get into Zach’s car. I look back at her so I can see her face when she answers. Our last stop for the day is the ice cream shop. As soon as we were done eating Zach declared that we are going there no negotiations.
“I don’t see why they wouldn’t be.” She answers simply. She gives me a I got this look
“Let me guess if she was your daughter you would be concerned.” Zach says to me as he drives out of the McDonalds parking lot.
“Well she is planning on driving 500 km to another province with a couple of strangers.” I say stating a very obvious fact. We haven’t been hanging out with Golden for about three months now. I’m not a parent but if Mina came to me and said she wants to go to another province with dudes I don’t know. I would be concerned and probably wouldn’t let her.

“Did you know that he has a lady friend?” Golden asks me watching Zach walk toward the car with a girl. She turns to look at me from the passenger side of Zach’s car. She’s shocked to see Zach and this girl together. They’re holding hands, talking to each other excitedly.“Nope.” I say looking at them come closer to the car. I’m in the same boat as Golden, Zach didn’t tell me he was bringing someone on the trip. Let alone his girlfriend, I thought Zach was single.“I thought he was your best friend.” Golden says whispering because Zach opened the boot to put his friend’s bag. She doesn’t want him to hear, I smile at her. This is all so weird.“I thought so too.” I say out loud. She closes her eyes embarrassed that they might hear. I don’t care Zach has to know we’re talking about them. This is interesting, he has a lady friend.“You got the fi
The boy I should not love Chapter 35 - Sleeping arrangements
We arrive at the air bnb around 8:30. Zach booked us a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with an amazing view of the ocean. Every room has a breathtaking view. The host made sure to leave the apartment lit for us so that we can see its beauty as we walk through the door.I walk around looking at the little details in every room. This is a beautiful apartment I wouldn’t mind waking up here every morning. It’s a pity I’m not moving to Durban next year; an apartment like this would be my first choice.Everything is perfect. From the beautiful kitchen with a huge island, the bedrooms are big and have plenty of storage. And the bathrooms are incredible; they look like something out of a very expensive hotel.“Do you like it?” Zach asks me when I come back to the kitchen after I toured the place.“It’s incredible.” I say smiling at him; he did great with picking this place.“I knew you guys would li

“Good morning.” Golden says to me when I walk into the kitchen. She looks cheerful for someone who didn’t get much sleep. She’s sitting at the island having her breakfast, I didn’t hear her get out of bed this morning.“Moring.” I say sitting on one of the stools.“I ordered breakfast on Uber eats.” She says pointing to the spread on the counter opposite the island. I stand up and look it over. I am starving and the food is still warm. I make myself a plate of food sit back down.“I would ask you how you slept but.” I say and she laughs.“I had the best of my life.” She says making a face and I laugh. My mind drifts to what she said to me last night. My mind is still blown. That was a lot of information and I don’t know what to do with it.“We should go to the beach after this.” I say clearing my mind of thoughts about her virginity. I don&rs

“Are you driving?” I ask Leo as we walk to our assigned UTV.“No, you are.” He says helping me get into the driver’s side.“Cool” I say feeling excited about driving around the sand on the beach. Leo walks around gets in the passenger side. We get ready to leave; we’re the last UTV on the line that are parked and ready to go. I wait for the ones in front of me to load up and drive away. They start moving after a short while and then I set off when it’s my turn. The drive starts slowly at first but eventually we pick up speed.I put my foot down on the accelerator to keep up with the group. I concentrate on navigating the trail, feeling alive. I love this; I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. I’m so glad Zach thought to book this for. I almost went crazy with excitement when he told us we were going to be doing this when we got back to the house this morning.When

11 pmI walk out to the apartment balcony leaving the others in the living room. I want to get one last view of this beautiful ocean at night. The cool breeze touches my skin leaving goose bumps, I really love it here. I take out my phone and take a picture, I want to show it to my parents when I get home. Maybe we can come back some time as a family. I know my mother would love it here, she loves the beach like I do.A text comes in as I take the picture.AmaraHer name is appears on the screen and disappears. My heart sinks at the thought of what she could have sent me in that text. We haven’t spoken in such a long time that it’s hard to believe we were best friends at one point. We went from spending so much time together to not even looking at each other.We’re complete strangers now. I open the text and see a screen shot of a picture from Zach’s instagram. It’s one
The boy I should not love Chapter 39 - Face your fears
“Did I mention I’m terrified of heights?” I say to Leo who is hanging next to me in a harness next to me. Zach had the awesome idea to go parasailing. And let’s just say I’m not excited at all, as a matter of fact I’m terrified. The idea of hanging in the air, the ocean below us and with a boat pulling us at high speed feels like the fasted way to die.Zach was my favorite person this whole weekend but right now he’s number one my got to kill list. When he declared we have one last activity to do today before we have to head back home I didn’t imagine he meant this. He did so well with the UTV tour but this is a miss.“ You did mention it a few times.” Leo says looking at me. He convinced me to do this. I was going to sit this one out but he gave me some speech about avoiding regret and facing my fears; I know now that it was a loud of crap. I can’t believe I fell for it, I’m regretting saying yes.
The boy I should not love Chapter 40 - Meet the parents
We get home around 5 pm. We dropped Lana off first and then now Zach and Leo are dropping me off. Leo pulls into my drive way and parks the car. The front door opens and my father walks out. My mother follows shortly after. We get out of the car and greet them, Leo shakes my father’s hand and then he moves to the boot to take out my bags. Zach goes with him and they help each other out.“How was the trip?” My dad asks me but he’s looking at Leo. They walk back to where I’m standing with my parents. I’m nervous about Leo meeting my parents“It was incredible.” Zach and Leo say at the same time.“Good. Well we’re happy you got home safely.” Dad says looking at me but that doesn’t last, his eyes move back to Leo. Why is he acting like this? He usually doesn’t give this much attention to boys I bring around the house. He didn’t give Zach a second the first, second

“How are you this glorious Monday morning?” Zach says walking toward me in the school corridor. He looks so happy, I know he’s an all round happy guy but he looks particularly joyful today. Or maybe I’m the happy one and I’m seeing happiness where there isn’t. I smile at him to show him that I’m having a pretty good morning too.“I’m doing well this morning thank you for asking.” I say and we start walking to homeroom.“Where’s Leo?” He asks noticing he didn’t come in with me this morning.“He texted me...” I start to explain to him when Amara comes walking our way full speed.“Well if it isn’t the fake little Miss Golden and her minion… uhm… what’s your name again?” She says standing in our way. The whole corridor falls silent and they watch what is about to go down. Some of them take out their phones and start to re
