For Her

Chapter Twelve: Secrets Unraveled

He looked at me with his eyes wide open. He thinks he's being slick but I've seen the looks he gives Amelia. But then again I like his sister so I guess its fair. "W-Whatever dude!"He shoved my arm away angrily. Zubair and I started laughing once again. Yup it's official I won't be sleeping tonight.

I groggily open my eyes only to see Amelia standing in front of me as she pushed me back and forth. "Wake up!" She yelled in my ear which made me wince and jump out of bed. "I'm awake, jeesh! Did anyone ever tell you that you have the loudest voice known to man?" I responded back in annoyance. "I know, now get up." She replied perkily as she got off of my bed and left the room. You'd think since its my first time waking up in France I'd wake up with the sunshine and birds chirping but no. I'm being woken up by Amelia's loud voice and her constant shaking me back and forth. Oh god why can't I just sleep longer? My bed is just calling my name...

After I took a shower and brushed my teeth, I then walked back inside the suite and looked in my suitcase for anything to wear. We're going to see a museum today in a couple of hours so I have to get ready. I quickly grabbed a pink blouse and black skinny jeans and walked to the mirror so I could see how it looked. "Hmm, not bad." I quietly say to myself. To finish it off I grabbed a black wrap-around headscarf and put it around my head. "Ugh can you leave this room please? I want to be alone." I heard an annoying voice say from behind me.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Oh Allah, just when I thought today was going to be a peaceful day... Brenda just has to come and ruin it doesn't she? I can't let her get to me, I'm fasting I don't have the energy to deal with her. "Actually last time I checked this isn't just your room so I don't think I will."I said with a fake smile plastered on my face. I grabbed my clothes and scanned them once again to make sure they were alright. After a couple minutes I went to the bathroom so I could try them on.

The moment I walked back to my suite I saw Ahmed and Zubair standing near it. What are they doing here? I couldn't help but wonder. I guess they didn't notice me walking towards them until they were a couple of feet away from me. They both turned around a gave me a smile simultaneously.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked with a confused expression. "Um Hamid was looking for you." Zubair said as he got out his phone."I just texted him that we found you." He added. "Why was he looking for me?" I questioned them with furrowed eyebrows.

"He didn't say, all he said was that he needs to talk to you right now." Ahmed replied. I then quickly walked inside my suite and got out my phone to see if he had texted me. Yup, there was about 10 new messages, I wonder what was so important that he had to text me 10 times. I had left my phone in my room since this morning since I forgot to charge it last night after I was done talking to my siblings back home.

I quickly unlocked my phone and read his messages.

"Mara I need to talk to you!" - Hamid

"I got a weird text earlier saying that we need to go to the park around 3 today." - Hamid
