Hey my names Souhayla, strange name right?
I know, My uniquely creative parents assumed there was no name in the entire universe that was better for me. It's one of those names that everyone always mispronounces or misspells it.
Anyways enough about my name, I am an Algerian born and raised in Britain. I am 15 years old, live in West London and have 2 younger brothers. Adam is 13 and Zac who is 9. Yes, I am the oldest child, I really hate it most of the times. So where I start, when I was younger, I had a pretty good childhood and that is something I am very thankful for, My parents gave me everything I wanted (perks of being the first child and only girl), back in those days we also didn't struggle financially as much as we do now. I had albums and albums of baby photos and even once managed to convince Adam and Zac that they were adopted.
What I miss most about those days, is being genuinely happy and not having a care in the world, very cliche right but the older you get the more problems to bother you. My family isn't the same compared to what we used to be, we only see each other either at funerals, weddings and baby showers: the only things that bring us together us death and happiness.
I have 3 best friends Laura, Awra and Zara. Let's start with Laura, we met in Nursery and have been friends since then, I love her so much she's my little joy of happiness and not to mention she lives 5 minutes away but we don't go to the same secondary school. Arwa, I met in year 7, she's Libyan and well what can I say I love that girl to bits. After I met Awra, she introduced me to Zara, who I didn't like at first because she used to chill with the bitchy, popular girls at school. Zara is Tunisian and very pretty mashallah, since then we were known as the 3 musketeers. In October I met my first boy friend ( not like that) Hafid or Hafz as everyone calls him. He is half Moroccan half Algerian (such a beautiful mix). I'm pretty sure he just see's me as a friend but I think I may have the tiniest, slightest feeling for him. Don't tell anyone I Said that...................
The first chapter is up guys, I've had this idea for this story for a very long time but finally decided to share it with everyone. Stories are not meant to be yourself. I would really appreciate it if you read, vote and leave comments on what you think so far.
