I Can Wear My Hijab

Chapter 33

I banged the apartment door closed and locked myself up in my room.

"Ameerah what happened?" Megan asked instantly sensing something was wrong.

"Nothing," I muttered through the locked door.

"Ameerah, come on," Megan said softly leaning on the door. I opened my room door and sat on the couch.

"He proposed to me," I mumbled.

"Than what's the problem?" Megan asked confused.

"I kinda said no,"

"Why?!"

"I need to live first!" I exclaimed.

"Well what did he say?" Megan asked.

"He said he'll wait for me,"

"Well what's the problem than?" 

"Meg!" I said trying not to get angry, see this was the problem with me, when anything happened I automatically got angry, if I'm sad, I get angry, it's just much easier to deal with anger instead of all the rest of the emotions. "He's a good looking guy, a really good looking guy, and a lot of girls are going to fall for him and they'll be much more beautiful than me and can you blame him for wanting them?"

"Ameerah," Megan said softly, "You know Jedayel, he's not a womaniser, and you know he won't fall for a girl just because they are pretty and since when are you not the most beautiful of the beautiful?"

"Thanks Meg," I said managing to smile, "I'm sleepy, see you in the morning," I yawned.

"Good night," She said stepping out of my room.

Megan's Point of View.

Ameerah's eyes were all puffy and red, like she hadn't slept a wink last night.

"You ok?" I asked her.

"I'm fine," She smiled.

When we reached the campus, We saw Jedayel.

"I'm heading straight to class," Ameerah said glancing at Jedayel.

"Really? You can't avoid him for ever," I pointed out.

"Watch me," She grinned.

I headed over to Jedayel, he too looked like he had been awake all night.

"You ok?" I asked him soflty, yes I know, I was being nice to him but come on, he's already upset with out me making it worse.

"Where'd Ameerah go?" He asked.

"She went straight to class," I said.

"Oh ok," He said calmly but his eyes looked ablaze with anger.

"So what happened last night?" I asked, I had still not managed to get ahold of the full story.

"What happened was I'm an idiot," He muttered.

"It wasn't you're fault," I sighed.

"I'm going to class," He said.

"Ameerah!" I shook her, "The bell rang!"

"I know, I was just-"

"Staring at Jedayel I can see," I said.

"Let's go," She said blushing.

At lunch, Ameerah and Jedayel didn't say a word to each other... Their eyes met once and then Jedayel just randomly excused himself.. Ok this was going to be weird.
