Obsessed

“He told me he was majoring in nursing, and I am too. We have so much in common. He said he wants to take me to London after the semester!” I said enthusiastically. “Malika, all you’ve been talking about is this crazy guy. Can we talk about something else.” Maryah complained. “Like..?” I questioned “Like the midterms.” she replied “Oh, I’m studying with Jose.” I said excitedly. “You know what, I gotta go. I’ll talk to you later. Bye” Maryah said with annoyance. Why would she hang up on me like that? I shook the thought off and waited by my window for Jose. He was taking me to the cafe again. I was supposed to go to church today. My mom still calls me and tells me to stay in the Lord. Jose isn’t Christian like me, he is an atheist. I always want to take him to church with me, but he gives me a stare and pulls away. My friends identify him as the “crazy freshman from Harrisburg”, but since I’ve talked to him, I find him very sweet and intelligent, but misunderstood. I wonder why can’t anyone else see that?
