chapter 19

I woke up on yousef’s lap... breathing heavily. I could feel his hand on mine. 3azoz came..

                “ha dalal shlonich al7een?” he asked.

                I nodded that I’m okay. I was still in shock. I looked at yousef. His head was bleeding and 3azooz jaw was bleeding I freaked out. Next thing I know… my arm was bleeding too.. fa6oom came running and crying..

                3azoz held me and took me to the hospital. My head hurts a lot, my hand felt so numb I couldn’t feel it. Blood was all over me…suddenly all I can think of is my family’s death the day I felt dark… I tried to get up I felt sick.. I layed my head on fa6om ..i went unconscious again.

                I woke up again in a white room and had my hand on wires… I saw 3azooz and yousef on  my right and halla w mneera and f6oom on my left.  Yousef had stitches on his head and 3azooz on his jaw. I got up slowly and put a pillow under my back.

                “ha shlonich al7een?” fa6oom asked.

                I nodded.

                “tabeen takleen aw tshrben shay?”  she ased..

                I nodded no.

                “sh9ar b’6ab6?” I asked.

                “wa7d 7aywan ma3nda sh’3l yay bya5thla wa7da w yn7ash” 3azooz said…he was really angry.

I smiled at him. I got up slowly and hugged him.

                “o5oy ily ma6la3 mn ba6n omy” I said …almost crying... he smiled. I looked at yousef.

                “shloon il stitches..your head ?” I asked..

                “hehe mashy il7al ..shloon edich ?” he asked.

                “mashy l7al hehe mashkoor wayd “ I said.

                “walaw” he replied.

                “inzain msikaw ily kanaw mnak?” I asked.

                “ee” 3azooz replied.  

The doctor came in and talked to me privately. He was the same doctor who took care of me on the day I was there when my family’s accident took place.

                “ha dalal gabl kntay ta5then meds your hand?” he asked.

                “ee..kl yoom” I said.

                “sha6oora inzain …al7een lazm tzeeden 3alay cream la2ana ilcut shway deep I’6ahir kan fee glass bl maw’6oo3 …ilmohim inshlla kl shay ykoon okay..” he said.

                “ok mashkoor” I said.

                “walaw” he replied.

They came back in ..

We sat down chatting w shway shway yousef talked about why he came to our school..

                “madrsty il8adeema kanat mozain w knt at.hawash wayd” he laughed… we all laughed . In the fight I noticed he had the skills of busting someone’s face. I called the nurse and asked her when can I leave and she said tomorrow morning..uuf I don’t wanna stay.

                “ana asta2thin..” he said.

                “la wain..” I said.

                “maby ath’36 3alaikom “ he replied.

                “la yuba 5alek al7en bna6lb” 3azooz said.

                “shoof tara i7na ahal walla 5alek ikil ba3dain roo7 baitk naam hehe “ fa6om said.

                “hehe inshalla” he said.

The guys started chatting and we girls chatted too. Halla was staring at yousef haha.

                “oola shda3waaaa?” I said to halla.

                “haha walla shofeh” she said whispering..

I looked at him..

                “inzain yalla sktay” I said.

Food came and we ate then yousef w halla w mneera left. 3azooz and fa6oom stayed. Fa6oom went to the pharmacy to get my meds.

                “ha dalal shlonich al7een?”  he asked.

                “a7san” I said.

                “akeed?” he said.

                “yup” I said.

                “shllon your jaw?” I asked.

                “a7san hehe” he said.

It was on the rigt side of his face. I went closer to look at it. Then I looked at 3azooz pretty much close. I ever noticed he had beautiful eyes. I could hear his heartbeat. I smiled then back off a bit.. I pretended like nothing happened. Fa6oom  came with the meds and 3azooz had to leave.

Fa6oom went to sleep and I tried. I couldn’t stop thinking I was confused…. 

chapter 18

Nov.26

                It’s Monday the most boring and longest day of the week. I woke up at 5 am to prey and get ready for school. I was thinking about that tuition 7ag yousef..its gonna be pretty awkward, why can’t the teacher just teach him. And again back to fa6oom’s question… am I going to ever be back to the “old” me ?  I’ve got the answer to that ….its yes and I guess I found my day. Since I’m awake early, I’m gonna curl my hair at the tips to make a wave. I put some black eyeliner and I wore my new blue hoodie that looked great! I woke up fa6oom..

                “yallaaa fa6oom” I said.

                “okaaaay” she said.

I went back to the living room to eat…it feels like fa6ooom is actually living with me haha. She got ready then came to the living room. She looked really shocked..i smiled.

                “shraych?” I asked.

                “ambaay mo m9adga lal7eeny a5eeran ur back w a7la!” she yelled…then hugged me.

We ate breakfast then headed outside to the car. Then on our way to school. Feels good to say that ….i’m back.

                I went to the school head held high smiling. People were pretty shocked but some were smiling.. I guess they are happy for me.  I saw halla, mneera and 3azooz. You really can’t miss their spot when they are yelling like crazy people, except 3azooz he didn’t really yell …that would be weird haha. They were really happy w all of them talking at the same time..i have the most amazing friendsssss! So I headed to my first class which is 3arabii eeeew mali 5lg … I had 3azooz and fa6ooom with me. We sat down and tried to kill time..i tried to sleep. Fa6oom was annoying 3azooz and 3azooz was pretending like he didn’t care. I have a feeling  fe shay bainhom.. who knows ?  the teacher started blabbing… I was in the middle of a silent war between fa6om and 3azooz so I thought of joining them. I tickled 3azooz.

                “shm3na ib her side?” he asked.

                “kaify” I gave him a puppy smile haha. He then annoyed me.. we had this cycle of ticling and annoying. The teacher gave us plenty of warning haha..

Best thing about 3azooz he is really an amazing clean friend. When he’s with me he acts like the real funny 3azez not the guy in front of others…nice to have his trust. And I now when he really likes someone…he annoys the lucky girl. The bell rang. I headed to math class 3azooz was with me. Yousef was there… I saw him smiling. I sat down and work..it was work day. 3azooz taught me all the the thing I missed ..only the important stuff. When the bell rang after that class I went to yousef…

                “yousef..” I said.

“halla “ he said.

“mita tabeeny I tutor you ?” I asked.

“madry mita ma tabeen ..” he said.

“lyoom in bucks… cuz yam my house.. ma3ny by driving license yet” I said…then smiled.

“la 3adii akeed e9eer 3al 6 “ he said.

“yup” I said. 

I smiled then turned around...they day went fine. The dismissal bell rang. I headed to the parking lot waiting for the girls. I waited by the wall … suddenly a guy came and pulled my hair to the floor and put his hand with a cloth on my mouth and covered my nose ...i couldn’t breathe. He had a bunch of guys with him. School students were trying to help but they were trying to push away the boys around the one who was trying to drug me. I tried to push him away… I lost it .. I yelled and cried… two minutes later the cloth wasn’t on me.. I saw 3azooz beating the fuck out of him… he was yelling cursing … then I saw yousef beating the others with his friends…

I tried to get up but I fell unconscious…..
