Ameera's POV-
It's the next day already. Sometimes I feel like the day goes by super fast. It's like you close your eyes and blink and it's day. The same is with the day -.- Anyways after my conversation last night with my parents, I gave it thought. I decided if the guy really likes me that much then he will come to ask my parent's permission for it as it should be done in a halal way. I don't have to worry about anything cause it's all written by Him long before we were even born and I'm sure He had the best plans made for everyone.
Two years have gone by quickly. It's the last year of this course, meaning internship time. I already know where I'm going to apply. It's been my dream to apply to Idris corp. but one can only hope to get in. *sigh*
Anyways as for today's outfit....hmmm what should I wear for today? A hoodie like yesterday or a sweater?
Ameera's outfit^
I think I'll go with a hoodie. I'm feeling a bit tomboyish today >.< I think the hoodie looks super cute and I love the color. It gives that pure innocence vibes.
Alright time to go. Tomorrow Ahmed and I, will go for interview for the internship. apparently, Ahmed wanted to go at Idris corp. too. I'm kind of relieved knowing there will be someone I know there with me.
I reached university and parked my car. I collected my stuff and got out of the car. After locking my car, I neared the entrance of the university. I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Nina waving at me with her cute silly smile on her face. I smiled back at her and started walking towards her.
"Hey! When did you reach?" I asked my best friend.
"Hi. I reached 6-7 minutes back but I lost my ring so Aiden is helping me find them" she hugged me and pointed at Aiden who was searching for her ring in the backseat. I smiled and waved at him. he smiled and gave a nod back.
Nina and I were discussing today's plan when we heard the sound of a bike roaring through the whole parking area. We all got confused cause nobody came on a bike before so we turned to look who it was.
He parked his bike and removed his helmet. Mash Allah this guy was handsome. I saw girls fawn over him. They start straightening their posture, pulling their tops down and skirts up. I rolled my eyes at this. Yaani why do girls do this to impress guys? It's not like guys go for looks only right? Or do they? Bleh, it's not my concern.
I looked at Nina and she was staring at this new dude with a dreamy look on her face. Ya rabbi! *face palms* what should I do with this girl? -_- I pinched her on her arm which got her out of her daydream.
"Stop it, Nina. You have a boyfriend, which by the way is right here helping you find your ring and here you are ogling another guy" I scolded her.
"No what-no I'm not...*sigh* fine you caught me but can you blame me? I mean look at the dude. He is so handsome. Full bad boy vibes, any girl will drool over him" she said rolling her eyes at me. My jaw dropped at this. This girl never rolled her eyes at me and look at her now. I can't believe that she is behaving like this cause of this new dude.
"Hey, guys! Assalamu Alaikum Ameera" a voice startled me. I turned back and saw Ahmed.
"Walaikum Assalam Ahmed" I smiled at him.
"What are you guys looking at?" He asked curiously. He looked cute scrunching his eyebrows in concentration trying to figure out what we were looking at.
"A new guy is joining our university today" I said pointing my eyes in the new guy's direction.
"Oh!" He exclaimed. He turned to look at the new guy for a few minutes then turned back to us. "Um, what is Aiden doing in the backseat?"
"I lost my ring and he is helping me find it" Nina explained still looking at the new guy.
This caused me to roll my eyes at her behavior. Ahmed raised an eyebrow at me asking 'what's this about' I mouthed 'She has Aiden still ogling at the new guy' this got him to shake his head at her and look at Aiden with pity. Poor guy. We got busy discussing what classes we have today and if we were going to hang out.
I heard a throat clear and then heard a deep voice "Excuse me, Assalamu Alaikum" I tilted my head to look who it was, and shockingly it was the new guy.
"Walaikum Assalam" Ahmed and I greet back. I looked at him confused as to why he was here talking to us.
"My name is Zaid Abdul Sheikh, I'm new here"
he introduced himself. "I was wondering if you guys could give me a tour around" he asked. He had an Arabic accent.
"There are so many people around here and you came to us, can I ask why?" I asked curiously.
"I didn't see any other hijabi around" he said blushing. We looked at him weirdly. This got him to stutter "no not like that...since you are hijabi I thought there would be more Muslims in this group and quite frankly the looks these other girls are giving isn't very comforting" he explained rubbing the back of his neck. He looked nervous. I felt bad for the poor guy.
"It's understandable. Sure we will give you a tour. Right guys?" I turned to look at my friends one by one. Nina and Aiden nodded with a smile but when I turned to Ahmed he had a frown on his face. I gave him a 'what?' look to which he shakes his head. Weird.
We started to get inside the university and having short legs was slowing me. I saw Ahmed slow down till he was beside me. He turned to me and said "I'm not getting good vibes from him".
"Who?" I asked confused.
"Zaid. He was looking at you with a dreamy look" he accused. I was shocked at this and then started to laugh.
"You are so silly Ahmed. How can he like me like that? We literally just met" I tried defending Zaid.
"Exactly. You guys just met and he is already giving you heart eyes" he scowled and started getting frustrated.
"I'm sure it's nothing like that. Even if it is why are you getting worked up about it?" I stopped and looked him in the eyes with an eyebrow raised.
"No-nothing. We are getting late for class. We should go" he nodded his head towards our class and scurried away. I look at him confused at his odd behavior. Looks like Ahmed doesn't like Zaid. Meh, I shrugged my shoulders and got into class.
