-SAIF'S POV-

I was wearing shorts. Navy shorts and a white polo shirt. I was standing in front of the entrance of Fedora with the blazing sun on top of my head, waiting for Jassim to pick me up. Finally, Jassim arrived in his pitch black Range Rover with two girls sitting in the back seats. They both looked like Jassim; they had tanned complexions with long, curly brown hair. I hwent and opened the door for the front seat of Jassim's car.

"Halla Saif, hathy Noor w hathy Manal, my little sisters." Jassim said, pointing at the girls.

"Tsharafna" I said, flashing the girls a smile. They smiled back and started giggling to each other. They looked like they were between the ages of 12-14.

The car ride was quite. Jassim tried to break the silence a few times by asking about school and random things about my life, but he decided to stay quite after noticing how nervous I was. We got to my Grandmother's house in about 30 minutes. It was a lavish 3 story villa with a huge gold gate for an entrance. As we walked into the marble floored house, it suddenly hit me that I was going to meet the people that are going to become a huge part of my life. People I was supposed to know for 16 years.  Jassim led me to the living room where everyone was chatting. When we walked into the room, the room went silent. A man in his late 40's stood up and said "Saif?" I just smiled. I didn’t know what to say! Jassim started introducing me to everyone and as I passed people, I could feel their eyes studying all of my features. I found it hard to remember all their names. There was 3mi Bader (the one that stood up and said "Saif"), 3mi Ahmed, 3mty Sameera (um Jassim), 3mty Sarah w 3mty Seham. Not to mention I have to remember their husbands/wives names and all of their children's names. 

After having an awkward lunch with dozens of eyes on me, my grandmother pulled me next to her to talk. She was asking me about school, and if my father was taking care of me and giving me everything I needed. I couldn’t just tell her how my father treated me and how he practically hated me, so I just said "7mdlah 3l kl 7aal". I kissed her forehead and went to find Jassim. He was outside in the garden behind the house, playing with our baby cousins on the swings. While I made my way to the garden, I received a BBM. It was from Yasmeen!

*BBM chat with Yasmeen*

Yasmeen: Hey Saif… I made up my mind about the whole being your girlfriend…

Yasmeen: my answer is… my answer is yes… <3

*Back to Yasmeen's POV*

I can't believe I just pressed send. My phone started ringing like crazy from the BBM's I was getting from Saif. He was too cute.

*BBM conversation with Saif*

Saif: haaaa

Saif: Shnwwwwwww

Saif: I cannot believe my eyes!!!

Saif: 9ijj ely garayta???

Saif: inty ly ana bro7y 7agy mine???

Saif: 7abebti my one and ONLY Yasmeen <3

Yasmeen: Hahahah Saif! Shh! <3

Saif kept telling me how he couldn’t believe how much his day was made and I would keep shushing him because of how shy he made me. I decided I had to call Reem and Layal.

*Conference call with Reem and Layal*

Yasmeen: Reem… Layal…

Reem&Layal: Yes Yasi??

Yasmeen: Me and Saif…

Reem&Layal: SPIT IT OUT

Yasmeen: 9rna together!

Reem and Layal started shouting random things like "mabrouk", "ma9dg", "kbarty", and I felt like I had just gotten engaged. Haha.

They decided they wanted to go out, so I could tell them all the details. We decided we'd go to the nearest Starbucks because we couldn’t go anywhere far on a school night. I wore black leggings with a long, baby pink tank top and a floral shirt on top. I paired it with a light, black cardigan and baby pink flip flops. Of course, I left my waves loose and added a silver hippie headband with a few silver bracelets to match. My friends always thought it was gutsy of me to wear hippie headbands outside the house, but I found it showed what kind of fashion I was into.

Once I arrived at Starbucks, I saw that Reem and Layal were already seated on one of the couches. I ordered my drink and sat next to them. They didn’t even say a word; they just gave me a look which indicated I should start talking. I told them how Saif was exaggerating with his "9ijj? I can't believe my eyes!" BBMs and they laughed. All of a sudden I saw Faisal and Aziz come in! Reem signaled them to come and sit with us. Layal and I weren’t comfortable with them sitting with us, my parents were fine with me hanging out with them because they knew all of their parents but mb 3adla we hang out in Starbucks. Whenever we hung out there had to be adult supervision.

"Halla wallah" Faisal said, his eyes on Reem.

"Hello" me and Layal said.

"Ahlain" Reem said, her eyes locked with Aziz's eyes.

I was shocked with Reem's behavior. I thought she liked Faisal! And now she was flirting with Aziz?! I could see the rage building up inside Faisal.

-REEM's POV-

Aziz was cute. But my heart belonged to Faisal. I didn’t like how Faisal was still talking to Munerah, his ex, so I wanted to make him feel what I was feeling right now. I hated that I couldn’t spend my time with Faisal, and I wasn’t the kind of girl that would do that to a guy, but Faisal hurt me. He said I was the only girl he would talk to; other than our group of friends (Yasi, Jumanah and Layan). Then Jumanah, who's close friends with Muneerah, tells me Muneerah is still talking to Faisal!

*BBM conversation with Faisal*

Faisal: Reemo, shfech? :)

Reem: Mafeny shay. Int shfek? :)

Faisal: ana b3d mafeny shay ;)

Reem: enzain Munerah is waiting x

Faisal: HAHAHAHAH MUNERAH? LOL you're joking right?

Reem: Jumanah told me you still talk to her, its fine have fun x

Faisal: I told Jumanah ana aklm Muneerah because she kept flirting with me! W inty ma5tha galby yal '3beeya! <3

Reem: oh… Sorrrrrrrry Faisal :c

I gave faisal a cute, puppy eyed smile and all was forgiven. Yasmeen was just looking at me suspiciously.

-BACK TO YASMEEN'S POV-

Reem's behavior was beginning to annoy me. Layal and I excused ourselves and left. Reem gave us an annoyed look because now she was uncomfortable sitting with two guys alone. Don't get me wrong, Reem isn’t the kind of girl that flirts with a million guys and goes out with tons of guys, but this year guys started paying more attention to her and I think she's just getting caught up in the whole thing.

I dropped Layal off and was on my way home. Once I arrived, I changed into my pajamas, got out my laptop, and checked twitter. Turns out I had a DM.

*DM from Yousif*

@YousifAlX: I know about You and Saif. We need to talk NOW. Re-add me pin:********
