-Previously-"SHETSAWOON?!" A voice from behind us said.



Shit. I thought to myself. We are screwed.

Saif and I slowly turned around, hoping that we both imagined the voice calling us out on our actions. My heart was beating so fast. I was breathing hard and loud. The figure was blurry because it was dark and it was a bit far. Saif and I walked towards it and it was walking towards us. Slowly, I made out the figure…



IT WAS NOORAH!


"LOOOOOL! 9j chnkum film hindi!! Ma9adg ena you guys thought someone caught you! 7asatoony el 3sh8 elmamnoo3! Hahahahahahah wallah I cannot!" Noorah kept going on and on, holding on to her stomach from all the laughter. Saif and I gave each other an evil look. Suddenly, Saif and I started running after Noorah and we threw her into the sea! We started splashing water 3la each other! 7mdlah we dropped our phones on the beach before they could get wet! 


We laid on the beach, holding our stomachs from all the laughter. All three of us were soaking wet! "I love how you actually said 'LOOOL'" I stated to Noorah. "Yz3m unique" Noorah said, winking at me. Noorah was pretty cute! She was mature for a 13 year old. I felt like she was my age; even though I act like a 7 year old sometimes. Noorah was here to pick up Saif. It was so cute that she wanted to become close with him lay darajat ena she picks him up weya the driver! I was just sitting there, like a freak, staring at Saif and Noorah talk. Saif was asking Noorah if she was cold; even though he was the one that threw her in the sea. He was asking her if she was hungry; even though she walked up to us holding an upsize fries from McDonald's. Saif and Noorah were becoming close, and I was proud of Saif for that.  


I woke up the next day to the sound of Reem's special ringtone. She assigned herself this 'special' ringtone last night because, and I quote, "ana special inzain? Y3ni this ringtone 7agy. Ana. Bs. Ebroo7y. Fahma?" so I couldn't change it. "مليان قلبي مليان ويسيل مثل الوديان" my phone kept ringing. I cursed Reem for this amazing ringtone and answered the phone.


-Phone call with Reem-

Reem: Arjook lat3athbnee wtroo7 3any za3lan *singing*

Yasi: I'm this close to hanging up. 


Reem: Inzain, inzain! You're just a ball of sunshine, aren't you?


Yasi: Reem, I woke up to 'مليان قلبي مليان ويسيل مثل الوديان', shlon tbeny akoon a ball of freaking sunshine?


Reem: Fine. El muhim!! Btyeen Game night tonight??


Yasi: Have I ever missed game night? Ya3ny sh'hal s2al el tafh! I'm sure nsayty tshtreen shay w tabeny ashtry 9a7?


Reem: Shdarach yal sa7ra?! El muhim, roo7y Oasis aw shay e5thy Monopoly tkfayn! E5trab maly!


Yasi: Inshallah 3ugb il madresa aroo7!


Reem: Thank you ya b3d chabdi inty! 


Yasi: Ma9la7cheeya Reemo!! Bye


I ended the phone call with a giggle. Wallah hal Reemo kla lazm shay y5trb on Game Night! So, Game Night has been a tradition ever since the fifth grade when Faisal, Reem, Jumanah and I were chosen to do a project and we decided to play a few board games after we were done. We had so much fun that we decided that every other Thursday would be Game Night and everyone had to come! A few months later, Layal was added to our Game Night group. But tonight; tonight was special. Tonight was the first night Saif would be added to our group. Our Game Night group was special. It might seem silly to others, but it was sacred for us; we even had a BBM group! It was something we would ALWAYS do! We never skipped a game night; even if someone was fighting with someone from the group! *Dling, Dling!*  my phone interrupted my thoughts. Unknown number calling.


*Phone call with… Stranger?*


Yasi: Aloo?


…: Hey, Yasmeen?


Yasi: Mnn ma3ay?


…: oh, wee! I forgot that you don’t have my number! Its Noorah, Saif's sister!


Yasi: Oh Noorah! You scared the crap out of me!


Noorah: LOOOL! Inzain Yasmeen I want to ask you something…


Yasi: inty weya el "LOOL" maltch! Ask 7abebti…


Noorah: B6l3een elyoum? Etha laa, 3ady n6la3? *shy voice*


Yasi: waaay Noorah mnn emta inty shy? Ee, I need to get board games bs ta3aly ma3ay 3shan matmalal please!


Noorah: ee okay! Meet me at Oasis around 3 okay?


Yasi: Okay 7abeebti, see you then!


Noorah was so cute, wallah! It was 7 AM already! Shit! I was late for school! I ran to the bathroom and got ready as fast as possible! I put my hair up in a high ponytail and ran to the kitchen!  I quickly said good morning to my parents, got myself a pop tart and some milk and ran out the door! 


I got to school by 7:45; just in time for homeroom. Reem and Jumanah were sitting behind each other, as usual, with Reem facing the back to talk to Jumanah. I pulled up a chair near Jumanah’s desk and sat down; hoping the teacher wouldn’t notice my tardiness. “Ha, shinhy el56a? Saif beyee?” Jumanah said. “Ee, beyee, a5af e9eer awkward...” I replied, fiddling with my bracelets. “Laa shda3wa! It won’t be dam ana mawjooda” Reem said, winking at me. 


The day went by slowly; just like all the other Thursdays. Finally it was 2:15 and I could leave!! I ran out the school building and jumped in the car, where 3essa and 3li were fighting about which barada to go to. “Mafy barada elyoum, I’m going out w lazm arid elbait ajahaz!” I said to them, plugging my headphones into my Blackberry. “Wayhch!! Mama galat 3ady Thursday nroo7 barada!” 3essa said. I gave him a death stare and he gave me an “uff” and sat down quietly. We got home at about 2:30, had lunch and then I asked my mom if I could go. She was used to me asking her to go get something because she knew Reem ALWAYS had to forget something. So, of course she said it was fine, as long as I was home by 5.  I ran up to my room, wore some pajamas, prayed then went and stared at my closet. Oh the joy of looking for something to wear! I got out my aztec leggings and a loose ‘Forever Young’ black t-shirt, put my hair up into a high bun, added some lipgloss, got my wallet and phone and was off to Oasis. It was about 2:55 when I got in the car, so I decided to call Noorah.


-Phone call with Noorah-


Noorah: Aloo?


Yasi: *Man’s voice* Allah 3la hal 9ot! Shsmch yal 7lwa?


Noorah: Yasmeen? Hay inty?


Yasi: *man voice* mnn Yasmeen yal gumar? Ana 3bdallah, lgayt hal telephone yam madrisat XXX w glt adg 3la hal ra8m.


Noorah: Ummm... inzain ma3a salama -about to hang up-


Yasi: Hey yal 5blah! Ana Yasmeen! This was payback 7g today youm 5r3teny el 9b7!


Noorah: Yal 7mara 9j 9j knt 5ayfa!!!


Yasi: “LOOOL” a7san! I’ll see you in Oasis in about 10 minutes okay?


Noorah: Ee, okay! I’m waiting 3nd Coffee Bean.


I closed the phone with Noorah, plugged my AUX wire into the radio and started playing random songs. Dashayt feeling est6rab with ‘Call Me Maybe’ by Carly Rae Jepsen, then I played ‘She Will be Loved’ by Maroon 5. 


I arrived at Oasis by 3:10 and went upstairs to meet up with Noorah at Coffee Bean. Noorah was dressed in high waist, blue jeans, a cropped silvery glitter top that reached exactly above her jeans. She was messing around on her iPhone when I snuck up behind her and said “BOO!” She jumped out of her seat and hit me on my arm, hugged me and said “inty 7mara wela chalba?” while chuckling. “Laa ana Yasi” I said, giving her an angelic look. We started walking around, looking for a place that would sell Monopoly. We started talking about the randomest things.


-Conversation with Noorah-


Noorah: Yaseyo, ee hay your new nickname, 3ady as2al etha inty w Saif together?


Yasi: Nawareez, ee hay your new nickname, and I thought you already knew we were?


Noorah: LOOOL a5y sh’hal nickname! AWWWW maknt adry...


Yasi: Mashallah 3la Yaseyo 3ad. Hahahaha yeah, 9arlna about a month...


Noorah: 7dkum cute!! Allah y5aleekum 7g ba3a’9!!


Yasi: W e5aleech lah!


Once I got the Monopoly, I called my driver and said my goodbye’s to Noorah. Wallah 7bayt’ha!


It was about 4:45; Mashallah 6ar el wagt! Once I got home, salamt 3la my parents w r7t fog adawerly shay albsa. Game Night started at 7 bs lazem amr Layal so I had to leave the house by 6:30. I decided to wear black, leather, jeggings with a loose white t-shirt and a bunch of necklaces and bracelets. I left my hair loose and braided my bangs to the side. I added winged eyeliner, mascara and soft lip gloss. I wore glittery flats, got my Chanel shoulder bag and was off to Layal’s house by 6:45.


*Beep! Beep!* Abdulrahman, my driver honked outside of Layal’s house. Layal ran out of the house, applying her lip gloss and wearing her flats at the same time. I was laughing so hard at her! She jumped into the car dressed in light blue jeans, a plain white shirt and a fluorescent green blazer and a chunky necklace. She had a plain black 7jab on and beige flats and her LV bag. “Hello ya gmar! You looke gorgeous as usual!” Layal said, suspiciously. “Layal, shtabeen?” I replied. “Uff shdarach! E9eer next Game Night na3zm Yousif? PRETTY PLEASE?” Layal begged. “Hmm... lazm as2al el bagy...” I replied, hesitant. “Please try Yasi...” Layal said, in a hushed voice. “I will 7abeebti” I said, giving her a reassuring look. I plugged in the AUX wire and played a few est’hbal songs on the way to Reemo’s house.


Once we got to Reem’s house we didn’t bother ringing the doorbell and just walked in. Faisal and Reem were sitting on the floor with Faisal’s hand around Reem and her head resting on his shoulder. I cringed at the thought of Reem’s parents walking in on them. Saif and Jumanah were akwardly chatting on the couch and the board games were neatly stacked on the coffee table in the TV room. Multiple kinds of chips, dips, sweets and drinks were on the coffee table, as well. Reem and Jumanah got up and gave us a few bear hugs. Saif gave me an awkwardly, cute smile and patted the seat next to him. I smiled and walked over to him. When I sat down, I felt nervous for some reason. Saif started pinching my cheeks. “Your cheeks are so pinch-able Jazi” He said, smiling at me. “Hahaha... Saif!” I said, blushing. “Shfeech yaz3m shy?” Saif said, chuckling at me. “Uff shda5al?” I said. “Magdr 3la ely cute w ehma m3a9been!” He said playing with my hair. 


“Inzain, yalla yalla! Lets play the Q game!” Reem said, signaling us to sit in a circle on the floor. Before we sat on the floor, Saif’s finger’s intwined with mine and he whispered “a7bch” in my ear. I blushed, squeezed his had and said “mb kthry”. Our eyes locked for a second and it was like no one was in the room. I smiled and looked away, while tugging on his arm so he could sit next to me on the floor. 


-Game with Reem, Saif, Jumanah, Faisal and Layal-

Reem: Ana awal! If you had to kill one person in this room, who would you choose?

Yasi: You.

Layal: You.
Jumanah: You.
Saif: You.
Faisal: Klhum la2na galaw be8tloonch.

Yasi: Waaaay a39abkum love birds! We were kidding!


Reem: Ee, ee, chbaw bs. Yasi its your turn.


Yasi: Okay, What fear keeps you up at night?


Jumanah: Not waking up the next morning!


Layal: Not being able to see my family.


Reem: Losing you guys!


Faisal: Nafs Reemo.


Saif: Losing the girl I love... *looking at Yasi*


Yasi: *blushes and looks away* ana b3d *in a whisper*J


umanah: My turn! What’s your favorite thing about your mother?


Saif cringed at the question and left the room. I ran after him. He went to the living room near the TV room we were in. I went and sat next to him on the couch. “7abeebi, Juju makant tadri! Please don’t be sad!” I said, trying to comfort him. He looked at me and smiled. I gave him a tight hug and, again, the warmth and comfort I got from hugging him sent chills down my spine. I held his hand and pulled him back into the room.


“I’m gonna go get something from my room, banat tyoon tsa3doony?” Reem asked. Layal and I got up and Jumanah said “mafeny shada” as usual. Reem was checking her ask.fm account while we were running upstairs. Mara wa7da Reem froze in her place, then fell on one of the steps, crying. “REEMO, SHFEECH?!” I said, running to her side. She started crying in my lap. Layal kanat etmas7 3la sha3r Reem so I picked up her phone to see what happened. Reem had about 50 ask.fm questions all about one topic. A few of the questions:

  1. OMG Reem! You’re such a Sl*t!!! Seriously, you kissed Faisal?!
  1. Waaa3 ma9adg I was ever friends weya g*7b* nafsch!
  1. I saw the picture of you kissing Faisal!! ma9adgch!!
  1. Is the rumor of you kissing Faisal true? :/
  1. Reemo ma3alaych mnn el rumors, 9adgeny no one believes it <3!

And MANY more... I started deleting the questions and checked her twitter to make sure she didn’t have any DMs or mentions about this stupid rumor.


*Reem’s Mentions*

@LayanAlX: @ReemAlX Answer BBM BSR3A!!!
@YasserAlX: @ReemAlX Reemo Waynch!!
@BHConfessions: @ReemAlX someone says don’t act like the rumors aren’t true because I have the pictures to prove it ;)!I sighed. 7azat hal rumor.

I finally managed to ask “Reemo... Are the rumors true?”


Reem hesitated and started chocking on her words... 


Oh no.
