Started From The Bottom

Chapter Four

"Hurry up!", I screamed at the two girls who were taking forever to come out of the dressing rooms.

Mariam, ran out and twirled around.

"What do you think Sam?", She winked.

I looked at her nude coloured dress, that flew down to her ankles, it was so beautiful and went well with her pale skin.

"OMG, yasss girl ! Now all you need is a nude coloured hijab and a coat", I shrieked.

"Where do you think i can get a nude coloured coat?" , She whimpered.

I shoved her playfully, "Girl, i have plenty, you can keep one"

"Omg, really habibty?" Her eyes brightened immediately.

"Yes, now go grab Safaa, and lets get out of here", I almost rolled my eyes.

As soon as we paid for everything, we quickly made our way to the food court since i could literally hear my stomach rumbling.

I ordered a pizza and some coke, and headed back to our table, where a tall boy was talking to Mariam.

He was laughing and she was as red as beetroot, I laughed to myself, and sat down.

Mariam, noticing my existence quickly sat up, and the boy turned to look at me.

"Ermm, Sam, this is adeel, Adeel, this is my bestfriend Samaira.", She uncomfortably introduced.

Adeel said salaam, and i smiled in return. He seemed a nice guy.

"So, girls, i'll see you later?", he said to us, although he was looking at Mariam with a dazed look.

"Sure, salaam Adeel", I bid. He walked away, and me and Safaa immediately turned to Mariam, who looked at the ground as if she just realised how fascinating it was.

"SO, Mariam , you wanna explain why such a hot boy was talking to you?", I raised my eyebrows.

She blushed a deep red, and turned away from our burning stares.

"Oh God, her game is waaay better than mine", I groaned.

Well, isn't this just splendid. (note the sarcasm)

The food showed up then, saving Mariam from answering us.

We ate in silence, and soon made our way to our cars. It was already 8pm, and was dark outside.

I hugged both girls bye, and quickly drove home.

15 minutes later, i pulled up at the mansion that was our house, and grabbed my bags, making my way inside.

"Samaira, we have guests over, go freshen up and meet us in the dining room", My mum called out.

I hung up my coat, and made my way upstairs, changing my clothes to a night gown, and a shawl, grabbing my hijab and wrapping it around my head, praying ishaa before making my way down the stairs once more.

I made my way to the dining room, where i saw another family sitting with my family.

"Ahhh, Samaira, take a seat, i want to introduce you to my childhood friends, Mr and Mrs. Rashad and their son." My mum smiled at me.

I looked at the ground and made my way over to my seat between adam and my mum.

"Son, this is Samaira, Aisha's daughter. You'll be attending her college from now on." Mr Rashaad exclaimed.

"Oh , we've already met dad" , A familliar cocky voice rang out.

I looked up to see him,

The so called Rafael.
