“Shino 6af 7imday rabich hatha nazalkoum chan al7een ma7ad yadry 3ankoum ma 3arftaw mino hathayla?” Yousef almost yelled at me.
I was about to answer him when I saw someone familiar.
I knew that guy …

He was Jouri’s old crush, Abdulla. He is a year older than us.
I stared at her until she understood me and looked his direction. Her expression was priceless. Allah yfashilha wayihha bda yaglib alwan. She kept switching her gaze, between me and him.
“Abdulla” she mouthed to me.
I nodded giggling at her. I looked at him and saw him smiling and coming our way. I noticed Jouri getting a tad bit nervous.
“Hala wala Rakan” Abdulla said as gestured his hands towards Rakan and Yousef.
“Hala wala bu khaled shlonik? Min ziman 3anik” Rakan almost yelled at him, shaking his hand.
I can see Jouri’s jaw literally dropping, she was really surprised. I couldn’t hold myself anymore, I started laughing at how stupid she looked.
The boys looked at us confused.
Shit. ‘Fashalna 3umrna’ , I thought.
“El7mdla 3la ni3mat el 3agil.” Yousef said quietly, smiling as he shook his head.
“3aboud, hathy Fay” Yousef told him as he introduced me.
“Ou hathy Jouri ” Rakan said as he introduced Jouri.
“Hala , shlounkoum? Tisharafna.” he grinned.
“Tamam, el sharaf lina. ” Jouri replied.
3ayara hal bnt I thought to myself.
“3asakum… - "
He was going to say something but was interrupted by the bell.
“Yala ana baro7 3indy pre-cal ou magdar at2akhar maly khilg Mr.Steven, one more late wakhith after school detention” Yousef said as he grabbed his backpack.
“Yala 3ayal m3a el salama.” Me and Jouri said.
"Wait.." Rakan said.
"Hmm?" We looked at him.
"Salfatna hathy lail7en ma khala9na mnha just fyi ." Yousef said.
"Huff okay, byee. " I held Jouri from her shoulder and started pushing her through the swarming hallway to our lockers.
“Waaaiiiiiih maly khilg s7ailatna.” Jouri said.
By ‘s7ailatna’, she meant our english teacher, Ms. Kimberly. Everyone hated her because she gave us lots of homeworks and projects. Although she personally amuses me , but it wouldn’t hurt if she stopped loading us with work.
“Yalla 3ayal khan khali9 ou niftak minha” I said laughing at her while I waited for her to get her binder and book.
“Yala” she said as she slammed the locker.
“Good morning girls” Ms. Kimberly gave us her annoying smile that says she runs the world.
“Sit down and take out a piece of paper, you have a pop quiz.” Kimo said.
I smiled in relief because I did my homework the day before and I understood the lesson, el7mdla.
Jouri looked at me and smirked in relief because I was sitting beside her.
After an hour we were dismissed from English. I headed to Science, and Jouri went to the bathroom.
She entered the class five minutes later, with a huge smile plastered on her face.
“Shfeech, el tha7ka shaga wayhich chnich msawya 3amilyat tashded ” I teased her.
“Aaaahhh ma ra7 t9adgeen sh9ar! ” She sat down with her hand placed on her heart.
“Sh9ar ba3ad ?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Kint barou7 el 7amam chan ad3am Abdulla.” She fluttered her eyelashes.
“Malat 3alaich 3abaly 3indich salfa.” I frowned.
“Chub!” She playfully pinched me. “Bas t9adgeen ma gimt a7iba mithil gabil..”
"Awal lama ashofa aw agra his tweets astanis w a7is iny a7iba bas al7een a7is ena 3adi” She continued off.
“Oob ooob, laish fy a7ad thany? ” I winked at her.
“Yimkin…” She blushed a little.
“Oohh mino?” I think I knew who.
“Bas moo tgi6en naqzat yama w ma tfashleeny fahma?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Ee ee ok yala golay mino? ” I was afraid of who she would say..
“Rakan” Jouri whispered.
"Weeehh mu chinich t7ibeen yousef ? ” I asked.
She took me by surprise. The worst part is, I think I have a crush on him. But I wasn’t going to let a boy get in the way of me and Jouri’s friendship, fxck it , I don’t really know him that well anyway. I can throw away my feelings, he isn’t worth it.
“La2 ma7iba bas ena 7ilu, ou thak el waqt maknt a3arfhum mithel el7een.” She blushed.
I didn’t know what to say so I just faked a smile.
