Jamals POV.
I was waiting patiently in class for that scumbag to arrive with my books after leaving them in the lab, i went back to get my books only to see that the lab is closed, I left my book with him when the principal sent for me only to come and hear "i tought u left with it??".
I glared at him immedietly he entered the class before he reached his seat which is beside me, I began before giving him the chance to
"where are my notes!?"
"easy dude, its all here with me, and we are not submitting till next tomorrow, why are you even woried?!?" Ameer spoke while furrowing his eyebrows, to make it all seem like am too over woried.
Like heck! yes am worried, You never know what those chemicals have in mind for you, you play all Mr cool guy thinking you are just gonna see h2o and hydrogens and you end up seeing h2so4 and tetraoxosulphate(vi) acids.
We went for praticals last week and he left my notes in the lab, Just imagine!! We have assingnments to submit next tomorrow i dont even have the notes talkless of the assingnment questions.
This is the last period before our lunch break, a moment of freedom, before we get shoved back to this shithole, called class. He gets seated beside me which was the second to the last row, where we seat.
At the other side of the class, at the angle 90° to be precise was where that moronic dude sat with his freinds, Faruoq, i didnt care about his existence until two weeks back that all he ever does in this class is look for my trouble, hes currently pointing at me and saying Allah knows what to his closest buddy, zayid. They all then turn to us and laugh, hysterically, like they are looking at some circus clown performing, i gave them the look
you do not want to mess with me...
I turned to Amir who i see is looking at them and clenching and unclenching his fist.
"you dont want to" i said to him
cause if not, in no time will farouq be a bloody mess. Amir was suspended before for beating the crap out of farouq for telling him some crappy nonsense and Ameer was said to be the guilty one which made him more furious.
He turned to face the front of the class calming his wits. Seeing the situation back to normal, I put an earpiece in my ear which a qunut was playing, i quickly changed it too loyal mumbling an "Astaghfirullah" knowing music is haram.
A few minutes of noise making passed and the teacher walked in, that didnt shut the students untill when he cleared his voice, that is when some knew of his presence. He began the class which was English and our attentions turned back to the class.
📒📒📒📒📒📒📒📒
The class ended peacefully and me and Amir headed to the cafeteria, Amir began
"sooo i was thinking, um you know, about.... Well........"
"Straight to the point" i cut him off.
"ohhhkay...., i like, no i LOVE this girl in ss1 and am thinking of confronting her but i dont even know how or where to start from so i had a logical tought that you can help me out or rather, in" he stopped
i just stared at him, zooming in, searching for the Ameer i know and trying to hold back my laugh.
He looked at me with a rare kind of emotion in his eyes, not the one you see in Ameers eyes, but i could not help but laugh, he smacked the back of my head and hissed.
I stopped laughing and asked him to continue and he did,
"shes always with her two freinds, but the other one is her sister. They come to school together and ever since i saw her on the second day of school resumption, i smile like a fool when i think about her. Shes short compared to my height but that makes her cute. and i learnt that her name is Arfa".
I try calculating the data he gave me but zero results came out, so i simply said,
"i dont know who you are talking about"
He pointed ahead of us to a group of three girls talking excitedly about, Allah knows what and walking to the cafeteria as we are, i saw two of the same height, one is fair the other is chocolaty, and the other one a bit taller than them and dark skinned. He said the one in the middle, but my eyes rested on the chocolatey skinned girl, the one beside Amir's girl i assume, she with the same height as Amirs girl,
My heart skipped three beats i think, am not exagerating!
eye catchy i thought, theres something about her that just switched something in me which i do not know anything of that sort existed in me,
She was deep in her conversation and, she was, smiling, that smile, oooohk Jamal, what are my doing?, dafaq are you u doing!!? i think i zoned out.
"Amir, what were you saying??"
"i love her", he simply said,
i asked, "the fair one, right?"
he nodded, gazing at her, i can bet she feels eyes on her from the intensity of his gaze. My head was like
" this is going to be interesting".
I decided to help Amir even though i am not a fan of love like c'mon someone like me, doesnt want to end up heart broken.
I told Amir since we are all going the girls included to the cafeteria, why not confront her now??
He calculated the thought in his brain as he was moving his hands in the air, probably arguing with his inner self, he blurted out an "ohhhk" like he gave up the argument and the other voice in his head won.
Cool, i said with a smirk appearing on my face i continued
"Amir has found love, and here i am, (sarcastically)".
Amir looked daggers at me which made me laugh to the extent of choking
"Serves you right, douche bag!"
Amir cursed...
👫👫👫👫👫👫👫
Amir didnt talk to his dream girl and now its almost closing.
Because of a scene farouq was making, i had to interfere and since i did, Amir as well interfered.
Amir is being moody like i just cost him the love of his life which i didnt, because he will get another chance, right?
So we rescheduled the whole love issue till friday this week, or maybe thursday.
While all this was happening, the smiling face of a girl, stuck to my head, a smiling face of a girl i dont even know her name. I just smiled all through today after the cafeteria shit, not knowing the reason for that.
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I gave my self an imaginary slap, i slap myself back to earth,
Amir is now stopping to be a pain in the ass since the day is almost over and its about time! Seriously, this guy needs to work on his temper, it is just too much!!
Amir said i should drop him home so we walked to my car which is a Dodge.
Amir didnt come with his car today so i couldnt argue (i will not dare).
🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘
As we were making our way out of school, just at the gate, i saw three familiar faces sitting on a bench like they are waiting for someone, i hit Amir on the shoulder and he turn to look at me "what?"
Is that she? I asked with a smile
"yeah, that is her"
Should we go talk to them now??
"no, whoever they are waiting for will arrive anytime and i........ Will probably kill me and you if i embarass myself"
Ohk i sighed. But they are sitting close to my car so make your self noticed, i said, sort of ordering.
He just raised an eyebrow and gave me a "seriously" look and i nodded a yes seriously.
We continued walking towards the car and i can see that they are consumed in their chat does this three ever stop talking!? I took the chance to ask Amir of the other two girls name to not sound desperate about smiley, because am not, am not,
gosh i gave her a nickname...
"Arfa's sister is Basmah and the other freind is Mahra "
I repeated the name Basmah smiling, her name reflects her, she can kill someone by just smiling, and her name is "a smile, Basmah".
I stared at her openly, and i almost killed myself when she turned to see me staring, right at her, i should have averted my gaze, but i looked her straight in the eyes, and smiled, she was not talking and was just looking at me (damn!!) her face was eye candy, even without a smile on it. She just stared with a some what blank expression, her lips pinned to a straight line. seeing her freinds are turning to face the direction shes looking, i knew it was about time i stopped looking, stupid i muttered to myself. Amir was oblivious to the situation i just threw myself into, he was pressing his phone and he seemed concentrated, i didnt say anything.
We continued to the car and i had to have a battle with my mind and eyes not to look again, i was stiff, we walked pass by them and entered the car, i let out a whole amount of carbondioxide i didnt know i was holding in Which earned me a questioning look from Amir
"what" he asked, i replied "nothing" while starting the car. He eyed me and made sure i see him eyeing me.
As i was starting the car, i could see from the mirror the girls talking and pointing to this car, i turned to look at Amir who seemed too engrosed in his phone that i had to ask him what he's doing.
" hey dude, what is in this phone of yours that u cant take your eyes off it?!"
Amir: i found her on instagram so am doing some stalking and am not being creepy.
Me: you found who?" I asked, a bit confused
Amir : i found Arfa, and damn shes beautiful, with no Makeup at all, and she only has 11 post but a whole lot of tags, and 28k followers.
Me: you really need to get your love thingy under control, youre freaking me out, seriously.
Amir: yeah whatever, just incase you forgot, love is blind...
Me: pleeeeeaaassse spare me, where TF is the Amir i know!!??
Amir just laughed. A song was blasting from the car speaker Eko miami as i drifted a corner and the school was no more in sight.
🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢
I lived in the same area as Amir so we usually drop each other if one didnt bring a car to school. He's place is only 7mins away from mine, i droped him and continued on my way home.
I entered the premises and parked my car next to my moms which tells me shes home already, i didnt see my fathers car which tells me he aint home, (as usual).
I entered our parlor which i was welcomed by the sweet smell of home, sweet smell of motherly love, i searched the house until i found her in the kitchen cooking and the maid helping her.
Me: am home mom
Mom: welcome Jamal, how was school today
Me: just fine and boring as usual (gulping down a bottle of chilled water from the fridge)
Mom: hhhh i dont understand why you children of now always hate school, back then, we the children are the ones pleading to go to school, not the other way round.
Me:yes mom, theres a generatiom gap, a huge one infact
Mom: ohk dear i hear you, go take a shower, the food will be done in no time Am pretty sure youre starving.
Me:yes mom, exactly, thats why i love u even more, ill be back in no time.
I walked out of the kitchen escalating my speed and went to my room, did exactly as me mom told me, i wore a plain black top and shorts.
I jogged back to the kitchen, by that time the Food was done and mine was already on the plate, the food was literally calling my name, my mom wasnt in the kitchen any more so i took My food and a cold coke from the fridge and went back to my room.

I was done eating and currently lying down While scrolling down my instagram page, i heard a car horn which notified me that my father was home, i continued what i was doing since i know we would meet later, if not during dinner then in the mosque. The time was 5:53pm, almost time for maghrib.
I was about to log out when i saw in my search page a really really farmiliar smiling face, i tapped on the photo to make sure my eyes arent playing tricks on me, and it was her, Basmah, and her sister, i immedietly followed her and liked all her pics since it wasnt hundreds or even in tens, it was just 9 posts. And 29k followers and a number of tags.
She was extremely beautiful, her beauty was like, radiating through my phone to a place inside me. I decided to stop looking at the picture before something i pretty sure will regret happens.
💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭💭
We just finished praying Isha with my father as the Imam. Immedietly we finished i rushed inside the house, our house is attached to the mosque, its basically my fathers mosque.
As i reached home i saw a message from Amir that if possible i should help him get Arfa's number, i dont know where he expects me to get it but ill try (and i might get the chance to speak with Basmah, so, definately) .
I was sitting in my room when my mother called me that my father wanted to speak to me, whenever my father calls me i know it has to be something important if not he will just tell my mom to deliver the message.
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
Salam alaikum i said as i entered his parlor, my mom was also there. The parlor was freezing because of the AC but i immedietely adapted to the condition. I began While sitting down
Me: good afternoon dad, how is work
Dad: Alhmadulillah, work is fine Jamal, how is school
Me: fine, just good.
Dad: good so i was discussing with your mother about furtherering your education and i have decided to send you to florida since if i remember you wanted to study aviation. The aviation school there is very good so i would like it if you will go there after your ss3 and proceed there, i hope there isnt anything wrong with that...
Me: yes there is nothing wrong dad, thank you.
Is there anything else dad?
Dad: nothing else, i will just like you to put more effort and make every penny i spend worth it, ok?
Me: yes dad Insha Allah.
With that i walked out after throwing my mom a hearty smile and she retalliated with another one .
If it was someone else in my position, They will probably be over the moon, as for me, i wont say am not happy, am just content and silently praying that its for the best and this decision which my father took wont affect me and hopefully is not an attempt to get rid of me.
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
As i was shutting the door of my room, i increased the volume of the speaker in my room while phoning Amir to tell him what just happened.
He was over excited than me who is not even excited and he said he was gonna talk to his mom that he also wants to go to florida for aviation (his mother is LOADED$$$).
His wish is literally her command, he gets pretty much everything his way and his mother doesnt object.. Even though with the kind of freedom he has he didnt turn out to be a bad boy like other kids, but he has no control on a whole lot of things, (trust me, that i know).
It is now around 11:09pm now and am about to sleep, i logged instagram and screenshotted some pictures (of my own concern (basmah) ).
Her face was the last thing i saw before i drifted into a deep slumber.
Boring i think??
What do you think???
