JAWAHIR
"Welcome." The chef said. "Today you'll be working in pairs." He informed us looking down at his clipboard. "I picked the pairs."
He read off the list. I pray he pairs me with either Fauzy or Samira. I never really made the attempt to get to know anybody apart from them. The person should at least be nice.
"Jawahir Malik and Hasina Garba." Ugh! Out of all this people he had to pair me up with her!
"Okay, now please move close to your partner." I looked at her and she motioned for me to come with her eyes. Sighing, I picked up my bag and moved to the cooking station she's seated at.
Hasina was surprisingly okay to work with. She does throw a snide remark here and there but apart from that she's very cooperative. Talented also, tho I have a hard time working with other people, I'll try to cope with this since she's willing to cooperate.

At 2 o'clock dot we sauntered out of the class. Me and Samira are walking together to the gates. Fauziya called in sick today. I made a mental note to check on her later.
"Zawjatu akhi!!!" A voice yelled. Kausar? What's she doing here?
I saw her walking towards us. She's spotting a blue T-shirt and washed jeans with a kimono. She wrapped up the look with a blue hijab and nude heels.
"Hello." Kausar greeted when she reached to us with that prominent smile that is always on her face.
"Assalamu alaiki." She said to Samira, stretching her hand out for a shake.
"Waalaikis Salam." Samira replied, shaking Kausar's hand.
"Kausar this is Samira, a friend. Samira, this is Kausar my friend and also sister in law." I introduced them to each other.
They exchanged pleasantries. Saying our goodbyes to Samira, we left.
"What are you really doing here? And where's Audu?" I questioned her as we walked to her car.
"Audu, I gave him a day off and you'll see why I'm here."
"Kausar." I said in a warning tone.
"Just shut up and you'll see." She pushed me into the car, literally.
I dropped the matter knowing she wouldn't say anything. Music blared through the speakers as she drove.
Now payback is a bad bitch
And baby I'm the baddest
You're playing with a savage
Can't have this, can't have this (ah)
And it'd be nice for me to take it easy on ya, but nah
Baby I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feelin' so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah I'm on fire and I know that it burns.
We sang Demi lovato's 'Sorry not sorry' on top of our voices. We received many weird looks from people but we didn't care one bit. People mind your business and let us enjoy ourselves.
