I woke up as early as 4am to get ready for school and I decided to dress very nice today, I wore a peach dress and a flowy peach hijab. I didn't need makeup because I already have clear skin, I just added some lip gloss on my lips and I curled my lashes and I was off to school. Mom packed my breakfast and I entered the school boss. Everyone turned to stare at me and I felt very shy but I didn't say anything. I just sat on the second row of the boss and I was alone on the seat I thought but something shocking happened next. A black Lamborghini packed right in front of the school bus and everyone was shocked by this scene. Nobody came out from the car for the first 15 seconds and I thought something really bad was about to happen really. But Khalil came out from the passanger seat looking as handsome as usual and he walked into the bus and apologize for startling the driver. That was the first time Khalil entered the school bus or even talk to the school driver. All the girls were gawking at his handsome face but I just lowered my gaze before I get caught again but it seems I didn't have a lot of luck. He walks towards me slowly and he sat next to me and left the entire bus at an uproar. I was confused why Khalil will seat beside me but I didn't utter a single word.
He then said; Salam Amina and I replied back to him and there was no longer a conversation till we got to school. I couldn't breathe properly in the bus because of his oppressive energy but I decided to man up.
Immediately the bus stopped, I was the first to jump out but Khalil was right behind me, he walked like my bodyguard till we got to class but he didn't utter a word which left me confused. When I got to class, I recieved a variety of expressions; some were angry glare, jealous glares, sadness, pity and some smiles as well but I didn't say anything I just went to my seat but Khalil decided to give the class a show; he decided to steal the seat beside me and the whole class gasped at this gesture. I was already uncomfortable by his recent behavior but I didn't say a word as usual. After our classes ended for the day, I was relieved I was going back home but of course my plan was going to work. Khalil decided to invite me to the roof in front of everyone and damn I was ashamed but I couldn't openly refuse him, so I went there with him. With all the gazes I got, I still managed to move my feet to the roof, when we got there, he didn't say a word. He was just looking at the view and I was confused for his reason for bringing me here. I then said: "Do you have something to say?"
He just hummed but didn't say anything. I was about to speak again but he said; "Amina let's just enjoy the silence" I was flabbergasted at how sweet my name sounded in mouth but I just did as I was told. We stood there for like 15 minutes without saying anything. He then said;"Amina I won't hurt you, I just want to be friends with you" I then asked why? But he just smiled and walked away. I was beyond confused but I didn't say anything. I just walked back home thinking about what happened, I felt lost because I didn't have any friends to talk to about the matter and I don't have a sister to talk to and my older brother is not always home. I just went back home and continued with my daily routine. Dad called for an emergency family meeting, as if my day wasn't complicated enough. Dad told I and Mom, that we are moving to another home. My family isn't very rich, so I was shocked we could move to another house but I let my dad finish his words. Mom didn't look as excited as I expected, so I thought we were going to a more terrible home than this one but I didn't say anything. Dad said I shouldn't go to school for a few days so I could help mama with the packing, which I agreed. We were set to move in the next 3 days and I finally concluded that we were moving to run down home. I was very sad because this was our best house and I spent most of my childhood in this home but I know I had to move. We moved from Dubai south which was my old community to a new place; this place took a while to go to and I was confused how dad could get a house so far away. I didn't know the place he was taking us too but the place looked very beautiful. I then saw a beautiful estate in front of us and it was called 'Umm suqeim" this place was very beautiful and sophisticated. I then asked dad that where is our house and he said," it's in front of us" I was beyond shocked at what he said.
I almost lost my soul because of the shock from his words, I was waiting for him to laugh it off but a man in a neat suit, came to greet my dad so respectfully and he told us to come into the house..
