"Salma, you look gorgeous today" he randomly said again

"OMG, Nas, did you take something after I left yesterday?" I narrowed my eyes because everything was getting outta hands right now.

"Yeahh, I took something... something new..." He stopped

Chapter Thirty Three
Salma's POV
I looked at him blankly when he paused.

"You have a naughty mind, can't I just say you look gorgeous please?" He asked

"Because...?" I asked

"Aren't we friends?" He chuckled

"We are but..."

"No buts, friends can compliment each other please" he interrupted me

"Come on, come on... let's start please" He changed the entire thing

We started with a normal study routine that we agreed on.

"Is your mum around?" I asked curiously

"No, she isn't, got anything for her?" he raised his eyebrow

"Nope, just asked" after that we went back to studying, the place was quite a good place for studying. After a few hours, we both agreed to have an interval with snacks.

"Wow, you've got a nice kitchen here"

"You want something home made? You can cook for yourself" he suggested

"Nahhh, being a while I even cooked, haven't cooked or done any home chore since Ummul Kulthum started working, I used to do every single thing in my house because my mum..." I stopped when I realized I was saying what I didn't want to say, he just looked at me when I paused

"But you've got an elder sister, isn't she supposed to..."

"She's in school..." I tried to answer with the best reply but I couldn't get any and I got a chance to change the entire subject when I laid my eyes on a packet of chocolates

"OMG, you've got these...these are my favorites, can I take some?"

"Yeah, you can" he grumbled

After that, we went back to study for one hour and I went home but neither his mum nor dad still came back.

Things went that way till we started exams and Nasir's house became a regular place for me, went to school twice a week. Students had their ears up for gossips from the GosSip when they heard why I was regularly absent from classes. There was even a time Hauwa walked right up to me and said

"So, you are hanging out with the elites now" she smirked and rubbed her hair which was open. I'm not judging but she's a Muslim please, hmm maybe that's how she defines her faith, "there's no compulsion in religion" . I was surprised at her and I effortlessly went ahead to answer her dumb question.

"That depends on what you have stored in your lil brain capacity in regards to the meaning of the word...elite" immediately I said that a few students around snapped their fingers and some laughed out loudly.

I can still remember Jackson's reaction, he was like

"Woah! Woah! Woah!" As he closed his mouth.

She didn't even say anything, she just kept quiet and walked out of the cafe with her new crew.

At the end of the month, The GosSip was published with pictures and the school's current news, it was more like an update. First page contained our victory in the football game and presentation. I even learnt Hauwa broke up with her boyfriend, Jax, It's not surprising that they are dating though, birds of the same feather... There was a line that said she broke up with him because she was eyeing someone, all is well even in the well.
