In Love With The Muslim Boy

In Love With The Muslim Boy- Chap Six

After 10!!! days, I finally got this up. I know, how horrible of me but I've been extremely busy with everything. Not a good excuse I guess but it's the truth. Besides that, I've been feeling unmotivated because I'm not receiving as many comments/votes as I use to. I mean on the first chapter I got like 30+ votes and over 40 comments. Now I'm getting like 10 votes and 15 comments. It may not seem like a big deal but I want to know why. Could everyone like instead of asking me to upload tell me what they think of the story so far. I'd really appreciate it you guys! =)

Oh and I want to thank FeastOfNoise for making me the cover! Appreciate it. =)

Enjoy! =)

Chapter Six:

“Honey I’m so sorry, I don’t know how else to break this down to you but your manager filled in your position for someone else.”

I laughed, “Well duh mom, they need someone else to cover over the register I would have been doing.”

She shook her head, “No sweetheart, they needed someone to take over the weekly shift, not just the weekend. They fired you baby.”

I stared at mother and tried to comprehend what she was saying. I was fired? I had only gotten the job a couple months ago and now I was getting fired? I haven’t done anything bad, I always filled in for employees who couldn’t make it, and I followed all orders. Now I was being told that I had lost my job to someone who is going to work full-time. Well it’s not like I’d ever give up school to make a couple bucks. My dad was a doctor; I just wanted to be responsible enough to be able to pay for my own spendings. If they wanted to fire me, which they already have, it’s their own loss.

I smiled at my mom and just nodded. “Okay mom, I guess it wasn’t going to be my long time passion or anything, so I guess it’s all good.”

She patted my thigh, leaving the room so I can eat the delicious looking scrambled eggs and cold milk. After devouring the proven yummy breakfast, I placed the tray on the edge of my bed and slowly got up, trying not to tip over the empty plates or put too much pressure on my foot. Successfully standing up, I picked up the tray and walked out the room. As I got to the stairs, I gently placed the serving dish on the floor and sat on my bottom, going down the stairs sitting down. I made it down and lifted myself up, using the banister to balance myself. I walked into the kitchen to find little Angel sitting at the dinner table, drawing something.

She looked up at me and flashed me a frown, “Alys, I made you a card. I sorry for hurting you.”

Awing on the inside, I took the paper and smiled at her, “It’s okay, mistakes happen, it doesn’t hurt that much anyway.”

The rest of the day was spent with me and Angel watching The Princess and The Frog and other Disney movies. Dinner was spent with my dad, who was really amused at the fact that Angel had practically disabled me.

“Dad, stop laughing, it isn’t even that funny.”

He shook his head and tried to hide his smile. “I’m sorry sweetie, I’ve had a long day at work and when you actually think about it, it’s hilarious.”

“B-but you’re a doctor. You should be checking whether or not I have glass in my foot,” I cried.

“Trust me honey, you wouldn’t be devouring that chicken if you weren’t okay.”

I huffed and continued to eat my dinner. I called it a night around midnight, after much joke-cracking from my father.

The next morning, I had gotten up and skipped down the stairs, realizing that my leg didn’t hurt as much as it did the day before. After eating breakfast with my mother and Angel, I went back upstairs. My mom and sister had gone out to spend their day shopping. I logged into Yahoo! Messenger to see I had a new friend request. Out of curiosity, I accepted the invitation and noticed that they were on.

Mikey_TheMachine- Hey Alyssa, thnx 4 acceptin’.

Aly_SongzBby- Um, who’s this?

Mikey_TheMachine- Mike.

Aly_SongzBby- Football-player Mike?

Mikey_TheMachine- Da 1 nd only. Wassup?

Aly_SongzBby- Um, nothin’ much. You?

Mikey_TheMachine- Jux playin’ w/myself. ;)

Aly_SongzBby- Eww Mike, I’m so blocking you.

Mikey_TheMachine- Lol. Chillax babe, I was playin’ wit u.

Aly_SongzBby- Don’t call me babe, and how did you get my Messenger I.D?

Mikey_TheMachine- Darren.

Aly_SongzBby- But Darren doesn’t have my e-mail..?

Mikey_TheMachine- I know. I told him 2 ask holly 4 it.

Aly_SongzBby- Oh, not to be rude, but what do you want?

Mikey_TheMachine- Was jux wonderin’ if u wnted 2 hang 2morrow after skool

Mike. Football player Mike wanted to hang out with me tomorrow? I can’t say that I was hopping in my chair nor could I say that I was sitting down calmly. Did he like me? Omg, what would I do if he did? Wait, wait, there must be some sort of catch. He couldn’t like me. But why would he go through all of the trouble to try and get my e-mail, instead of simply asking for it, or maybe asking for my number. Oh, right because I would never have given it to him. He must like me then. There’s no other explanation. But you’re just a weirdo, my mind was telling me. Oh right, he doesn’t like me; he just wants in my pants.

Mikey_TheMachine- Still dere?

Oh right, I had totally forgot about him.

Aly_SongzBby- Uh, yeah sorry I had to do something real quick.

Smooth lie.

Mikey_TheMachine- So u up 4 2morrow?

Aly_SongzBby- But I’m not a cheerleader.

Mikey_TheMachine- Lol. Trust me I know.

I scrunched my eyebrows. What the hell did that mean?

Aly_SongzBby- Uh, okay then I guess. I’ll see you in school tomorrow.

Mikey_TheMachine- See u.  J

I logged off and sat there in front of the screen. Mike wasn’t a big player when you thought about it. I mean yeah, he was really good looking, he was rich, and could get any girl he wanted. He slept around, but not with everyone, he was popular, went to all the parties, got drunk, and all that good stuff. Not. We were from two totally different worlds. Maybe he meant it as a friendly hangout. Nothing more. Mike hardly dated though. He was just playing the game, but if he wants to head down that road, he’s in for something much more than that.

Lyrics of the Day:

So make your jokes

Go for broke

Blow your smoke

You're not alone

But who's laughing now

But who's laughing now

So raise the bar

Hit me hard

Play your cards

Be a star

But who's laughing now

But who's laughing now

Jessie J.- Who's Laughing Now
