On top of that , tomorrow is my first day at my new school, so its pretty much impossible to sleep with all that rush and excitement going on. I tried every sleeping position from the Foetus to the starfish, nothing seemed to work. I even tried Mr.Beans way, counting up sheep in my head .. even that method failed.
I checked my clock that read 4:30 am , and I had to be up by 6. So I waited til the Athan, I prayed, took a shower and decided to curl my straight long dark brown hair while watching The Fresh Prince of Bel Air since I had nothing else better to do.
By the time it was 6:00, I was already dressed in my new school uniform, and I had to pick up my best friend Jouri, by 6:30. So I had spare time on my hands and decided to go to Starbucks first , so I could get us something to fill up our empty stomachs.
"Ef yala Jouri riday."I said silently to myself while walking to Starbucks , as I called her for the 5th time.
"Aloo.." Jouri spoke with a very sleep voice.
"9arly sina adig 3alaich laish matrideen? Yallah goumay goumay jdami bamrich in 10 minutes." I said.
"Eff Fay , 5 more minutes , ams ma nimt wayd." She complained.
"Mashallah 3al sa3a 10 entay bfrashich ou ma nimtay wayd? Agoul goumay rou7ay 9alay ou qaslay wayhich." I argued.
"Waaaaaay enzain. " She whined.
I laughed.
"Ana el7en 3ind Starbucks , shinu tabeen?" I asked.
"Mmmm , nafsich. "
" Vanilla frappuccino ou 7alloum panini ?"
"Eee . "
"Yala rou7ay tizahibay." I hung up.
I walked over to the counter and ordered then I started fiddling with my blackberry , waiting for our food.
"Shway law sima7tay." An unfamiliar husky voice said.
I was too distracted with my phone to notice.
"E7em." He coughed.
I looked up to find a tall tanned figure looking right at me. He had medium length dark brown hair, big hazelnut eyes , and a light stubble. He was wearing navy blue sweatpants, weya qamee9 abyath that complemented his fit body, showing off a bit of his abs. I was so mesmerized with his flawless figure that I could have melted, and forgot that even talked to me.
He coughed again.
Finally I got my senses back and stuttered for words so I just looked down and moved away.
"Number 54." The man behind the counter said, after waiting for 5 minutes.
I got my order and went straight back to the car and off to Jouri's.

Fay ♡ :

Jouri '32 :
Coming !

I waited patiently in the car for Jouri to come. I looked over to my window, as I sensed a medium height figure approaching the car. Luscious black locks, dark brown eyes; Jouri may look like a bimbotic, dumb brunette, but when you meet her, she’ll tell you never to judge a book by its cover. Jouri has always been the brightest apple in the box. She’s very serious when it comes to her work and school and doesn’t let anything interfere with that. Jouri gets along with everyone, she’s quite the peoples person. She’s very sweet, but she knows how to stand her ground, she won’t let anyone walk all over her. She doesn’t sugar coat, she is pretty blunt and upfront about things. She is honest, almost brutally so, but she’d rather stab her own eye out than lie about something. When she turned 15, she started to become more and more beautiful. Now a lot of guys show interest in her but she doesn’t know what to do because she has no experience whatsoever. Even though she’s pretty now, Jouri still feels insecure. She’s strong and has a wall built up around her.
"Hala hala hala." She said as she sat in the backseat , next to me.
"Hala feeech." I laughed , giving her , her food.
"Shil akhbar? Laish mbtasma? " She asked winking, then taking a bite from her sandwich.
"6afich tawa." My smile got bigger.
"Sh9ar?????!" She raised her eyebrow.
"Shft wa7d , yabouuuuuuyy shnu 7lu !"
"Ya 7mara bdouni? 3inda rabi3? Describe shakla!!"
I told her what happened at Starbucks and how I humiliated my self in front of him. 10 minutes later we arrived at our new school and I could feel myself getting nauseous.
"Fay , cheni hawant? " Jouri said nervously.
"Latgoulen chithy , ba3dain we worry akthar!"
"Akhaf , what if they don't like me? Awal mara nkoun eb a mixed school , ma3arif shat9araf wla shasawe, ou shloun bnsawe new friends? Wtha ana wyach mu eb nafs el 9af?" Jouri kept going on and on and I froze , I never thought of that, but we'll make it through this.
I looked at Jouri and held her shoulders and I started shaking her. " CALM DOWN WOMAN. Be optimistic , think on the brighter side. Allah mu katiblina ela el shay el zain , mu we agreed nrou7 a new school for a new beginning? Ou matadreen this could be the best years of our lives. The boys aren't animals mara7 yaklounich , bil3aks this could help us socialize more 3ashan ma nitwahag bil jam3a or in life. Plus who is stupid enough not to like you? You're beautiful inside and outside , I'm pretty sure you'll make friends in seconds. Ou always remember that I will never leave your side , 7atan law if we're in different classes, we'll make it through this , wa3ad." I argued.
She took a deep breath. "I guess you're right."
"Of course I am. " I winked and we both got out the car and into a start of something new.
