Halima places her head on Sa'eed's chest with a sigh. He in turn holds her waist with one hand and loosens her headtie with the other.

"What did you want to tell me? I've managed to get Hidaya to sleep." Sa'eed takes a deep breath, this is it.

"I have some things to tell you. Don't interrupt me please." Halima looks at him skeptically before she nods.

"When we were in Ss1...

"Well that something, is nothing you need to worry about. But the person, is none other than, Sa'eed Abba Sulayman." Thirteen year old Aleesha says, chuckling evilly.

"What happened to Sa'eed Abba Sulayman?" Sixteen year old Sa'eed comes from behind Aleesha making Lash's eyes widen.

"Romeo na." Aleesha whines turning to face Sa'eed. She engulfs him in a hug.

"Leesh, ya akayi?" Aleesha's response is muffled by Sa'eed's shirt and he chuckles then pulls her out of the hug.

"Tell me."

"There's a party at Kehinde's house today. Are you going?" Sa'eed thinks for a while before shaking his head.

"Ammi and Abba are coming back today. If they find out I went to a party, they'll kill me." Aleesha pouts and lowers her head sadly.

"Hey! Don't be sad okay? I'll find a way. We'll go to that party together In Shaa Allah." Aleesha nods sadly.

"Now give me a smile." Aleesha doesn't smile so Sa'eed turns away from the rest of the class even though no one is looking at them.

"I'll tickle you." Aleesha doesn't answer him so he sighs.

"I'll tell Ammi we're having a sleepover at one of my friend's house then I'll come." Aleesha's face lights up at that and she hugs Sa'eed.

"See you at the party." She goes back to her seat and Lash follows.

"Aleesha! What are you planning?" Lash's eyes are wide but Aleesha just rolls her eyes.

"Relax Humaira. You'll find out. You're also coming to the party." Lash nods skeptically.

Later that night, at the said Kehinde's house, the party is in full blast. Bodies are rubbing and there's a Stench of alcohol and beer in the air. The party was supposed to be a pool party but because some of his classmates are Muslims and would probably not be comfortable wearing swimming clothes in public, they decided to go with a regular party.

Aleesha drags Lash up the stairs to an empty room. Sa'eed is laying on the bed with a smile. Lash scrunches her nose up.

"Is Sa'eed... Drunk?" Aleesha nods with a cheeky smile.

"Why?! You know drinking isn't good and..." Aleesha rolls her eyes.

"Are you going to help me, or not?" Lash sighs. She knows Aleesha. If the girl put her mind to something, nothing can change it.

"So here's the plan. I love Sa'eed, I know you already know that. But the point here is that I want us to be together in the future, that's why I'm doing this." A drunk Sa'eed cut her off.

"You want us to be together in the future? Aww, Leesh baby." Lash looks at Sa'eed with subtle pity. Aleesha doesn't love him, she's literally obsessed with him. And she won't listen to anyone that will tell her otherwise.

"We're going to have sex." Lash gasps.

"Aleesha baki da hankali ne? Do you even hear yourself?" Aleesha rolls her eyes.
