Cursed With Beauty (54)

Previously:

Amal: I thought of Mai, and I wondered if she was going to do the same to me.

Joojoo: Be my secret, just for a while..
------------------
Amal:

After english class I walked out, but Salma wasn't beside me, so I waited by the door.

7amad came up to me just asking how I was doing when she suddenly came out from the class.

Salma: WHAT IS THIS STUPID TEACHER, DOES SHE KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO WRITE THIS ESSAY!?

I was surprised to hear her talk this loud, I looked back at 7amad and his eyes wear glistening, his eyebrows were up in surprise and his smile went from ear to ear.

When she stormed off, I hit his arm.

7amad: Whaat!?

Me: What was that!? It's the first time I saw that face you just made!

7amad: That was the cutest thing I've ever seen! She was about to cry!

He laughed tears out of his eyes, and walked away as well.

S3eed:

I headed to my locker and when I unlocked it, a note fell in my palms..

"I love you.."

It said. I thought Joojoo was going to keep it a secret!

I threw my books in, & took my notebooks out. I leaned on my locker staring at the note again.

Before I knew it, the bell rang. My class was at the other end of the school, I just had to make a run for it.

I'd learned that the best short cut was through the library, suddenly I was pulled into one of the aisles.

Joojoo held my face close as she stared at my lips, I knew what she was going for.

I dropped my notebooks and gave in..

Khalid:

I got out of work early to take Mai to the hospital. We were going through the 5th month's check up.

Me: Mai, when do they tell you if it's a girl or boy?

Mai: I don't know.

Me: If it's a boy, when does it play football?

Mai: Do you have any idea how small they are?

Me: Well, I remember 3osha, but I was busy then..

Mai: What're we going to name it?

Me: I don't know. What if we traveled? How are we going to carry it?

Mai: I don't know.

We were young, with absolutely no idea of what was coming next. We found bliss in ignorance, when somethings we just didn't even want to know.

Amal:

Joojoo had missed out on Algebra, Reem and I really got worried.

We headed to the nurse in case we'd find her there, but she wasn't.

We grouped up with Dalal and Salma, we got really close during that time, and sat down at our usual lunch table. Assuming she would come when she wasn't busy.

As we chatted, Kovu, 7amad, and some guys sat down on the table in front of us.

Salma, Reem, and I were facing both 7amad & Kovu, while their friends faced them.

Reem: See that guy with 7amad?

Me: Yeah, what's up with him?

Reem: He's a player. He broke the poor hearts of every single girl in our school.

She whispered his name to me and said that he was such a disgrace to his family.

I made eye contact with him, wishing I could ask him of what I was hearing. Was I the next victim in his game?

Me: It couldn't possibly be! He has such a good reputation here.

Reem: Because he doesn't dare mess around with the girls from this school. So what do you know about him?

Me: No, you don't know him, that's surely not the case.

I looked at Salma, since she already knew about my admiration, but she was rewriting that essay she was mad about.

Reem: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to tell you, just to be cautious.

Me: Cautious? Of what?

Reem: I hear he's dating a girl from this school, but no one knows who..

She kneeled back and subtly pointed at Salma..

Was that the case? Was that why Salma's been quiet all along? But she knew how I felt! I trusted her!
