When I woke up the next morning, the first on my mind was .. Ali. I don't know why but I keep thinking about him I hate the fact that I talked to him in a rude way, he don't deserve this treatment. But wait, he actually does, his sister is that crazy witch.. so yeah whatever.
My phone started ringing. It was Ameera. "I can't make it to the birthday party today, I have other plans, will you be fine on your own?"
"What? what party?" I asked.
"are you kidding me? Layan's birthday party is today! don't tell me you forgot!?"
I sighed. "I totally forgot about it."
"You can't skip that party, you should go and be the prettiest and annoy the most ugliest-monkeyst-piggest MANAL IN THIS FREAKING PLANET. NOW get up and get ready, it's 6 already" She said.
I laughed. "I'm not going without you."
"YOU ARE! Layan is close to you, you must go. If that bitch manal tried to provoke you, GIVE ME A CALL AND I WILL MAKE HER REGRET THE DAY SHE TRIED TO DISTURB YOU." she said.
"But.."
she cut me off. "no buts!"
I sighed. "Okay."
After I hung up. I got up to start to get ready to go to the party.
Yeah, I should have fun too, I'm tired of overthinking unnecessary stuff. I should forget about.. him a little more.
At 7:45 pm I was done. I immediately went downstairs and saw my dad sitting in the living room.
"Hey dad" I smiled to him.
"Hala benty w7shteny ma ashofch hal2yam" he said while smiling. "t3ali g3dyy"
"I went to him and sat next to him. "I have a birthday party I should leave so I won't get late." I said.
"Ok, bs la tt25ren bkra 3ndch mdrsa 9a7" He asked.
"yeah" I said. "m3a elslama baba"
he put his hand on my head and shaked it. "Allah m3ach"
I got into the driver's car and head to Layan's house.
A message was sent to me in a sudden. I opened it.
Hey Reem,
I still think about you everyday, and everyday I want to talk to you but I just stop because I know you don't wanna ever see me or hear from me again. But what shall I do? I miss you.. like hell. Can't I see you for once? One chance is all that I am asking for.. please baby?
What the hell? It is him.. what the hell It's been six months now! and I almost forgot him what the hell he want more from me?
He fucked up my mood..
I really wanted to go back home but.. I already got there.
I went inside, loved the decoration the theme and everything in the party, the music was good too. She did very well in organizing her party.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM" Layan said.
I turned to her. "7bebtyyyy" I gave her a hug.
"I missed you so much!! CANT YOU STAY AT OUR SCHOOL UNTIL GRADUATION" she said.
We pulled away. "7bebty, wallah ench akthr w7da w7shteny <3,la wallah I have to move :( "
Suddenly her voice interrupted us. "LOLOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I am here.
Yeah, the witch came. I walked away and sat somewhere far from the girls noises.
Layan & Sarah was the only friends I loved hanging around with. But when I heard what Sarah said to manal, I guess I was wrong, she's not a friend actually, she's an enemy.
I don't want to stay anymore here, I wanted to cry, I couldn't stop thinking about him, I miss him but I can't go back to him no matter what, I almost forgot him why did he appear again, WHY?!
When it got 9:15. I asked the driver to come. My head was overthinking it was killing me. I got up and went outside and preferred waiting for the driving outside instead of inside.. of course after I said bye to Layan.
I stood outside walking in circles until the driver arrive while thinking about Yousif, my ex, I couldn't help it, my tears started falling. Yousif was the first one in everything, he was the first one I have ever loved and the first guy I have touched in my whole life. I loved him like crazy, we've been together for 9 months, but it felt like years. He cheated on me. Well, in front of my eyes. That was the most thing that broke my heart into pieces since the day I was born.
I glanced up, it was him. Ali's car AGAIN.
I quickly wiped my tears and acted like I didn't see him. I suppose he was waiting for his sister.
I heard a car door opened and then closed. I wanted to run at that moment, I think he will come to me. when I was about to go back inside he grabbed my arm making me face him.
I looked into his face. I really didn't want to talk because my voice was shaky at that moment, so i just stayed silently.
He was staring into my eyes, it was awkward. I looked down into the way he's grabbing my arm.
Then he pulled me with him.
I cleared my throat. "what are you doing?
He dragged me to his car passenger side and closed the door and after went to his side and closed the door.
I sighed. "what do you think you're doing? How dare you to bring me here?"
He sighed. "stop acting hard to get okay?" he looked at me. "If you thought that I was a bad person you would have yelled outside. But you stayed silently."
"What the hell? hard to get?" I laughed. "I didn't yell becuase I don't feel like talking, alright?"
"Yeah, because you're afraid that you might cry while talking don't you?" he said looking right into my face.
I sighed. "This is none of your business." I wanted to get out of the car but he locked the doors and grabbed my arm again.
"Please stop" He said.
"Who do you think you're to grab my arm EVERY TIME!" I said.
"I am sorry okay" he let go. "Just don't cry"
I looked at him, he was still staring at the front mirror avoiding looking at me.
Silence filled the place as he unlocked the door.
I looked at my fingers.
"I-" I stopped.
He looked at me. "It's okay don't say anything, you're right I shouldn't drag you to my car. we dontt even know each other."
I looked into his face. "I am sorry for treating you this way."
When I opened the door handle.
He started. "To be honest I dropped my sister today here hoping to see you here, since you were friends I thought you would be friend with her friends." he laughed. "It's crazy, isn't it" he looked at me as his smile fade.
He left me speechless.
I left closing the door behind me without saying a word.
