Elham.
"Yes, it's black, and I can guess yours is pink" Yasmeen said over the phone, to Sufyan. Don't ask me how we got to this point, i just know we found a table to seat and next thing, Sufyan calls my phone again and Yasmeen answers the call and they've been getting to know each other since then.
I, on the other hand, seated right across Mr grey eyes, am very uncomfortable, plus we have been sending awkward glances at each other.
Imaan is at the counter grabbing our orders and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the pace Yasmeen and Sufy were getting along. Why was I uncomfortable? I didn't know. But I sure did know that I didn't like it.
"I'll be coming to see Ilham after my graduation, maybe we can hangout together?" I heard him ask her.
"Duh! I've got tons of places we could visit" she replied
'We' ? I rolled my eyes. What is she now, his new best friend?
Wait, am I jealous?
No , I'm not... right?
"Well, I've got to go, talk to you later. Let Elham know that we'll I'll FaceTime her later. Bye Yas" he said , ending the call.
Yas? Oh so they're now on nickname basis.
Her gaze finally goes off the screen for the first time since the call and she makes eye contact with me.
"So, is he single?" She asked, and I couldn't help but eye her.
"Maybe you should have asked him" I mutter, diverting my gaze to Asaad. We locked eyes and I noticed him hiss before standing up and walking towards our table. I gulped. Yasmeen followed my gaze and caught my sight. She rolled her eyes and frowned in dismay as she turned back to look at me.
Why was she angry? Had something happened between them?
He stopped right in front of our table while Imaan placed the cups and pulled out a chair and sat.
"Hi" he said. Not looking at any of us particularly. I picked up my phone from Yasmeen's front and pretended to be busy with it.
Yasmeen simply took a sip of her coffee while Imaan decided to be the nice one and responded with a "hey Asaad, how're you doing?"
Clearly not great but he said "I'm great and you?"
And then he proceeded to ask. "Elham, I've been trying to reach you. Did you block my number or something?" I made eye contact with him and He looked really sick, there were dark circles around his eyes and his hair was all over the place.
So, I actually skipped the part where I literally blocked his number and Yasmeen's the morning after Farhanna's party but if he needed to reach me, he knew he would find me in school, so I decided he was lying and wasn't even bothered about what happened the other night .
"Yes, I did" I answered him.
I looked away from him and back to my phone's screen.
"Yasmeen, can we talk outside for a second?" He asked. She groaned but followed him.
I watched them argue about something for a while. They both seemed like they were mad at each other.
