24* Odd Things

Happy Birthday vilalove09 ✨✨❤

From saying Alfred is the drug dealer that Nazeera saw to saying they probably had a one-night stand together to saying maybe they dated online or something, you guys are just full of amazing theories.

But for real, Nazeera is such a drama queen 😂❤

NOUMAN HUSSAIN

"So, Oppa," Nazeera started awkwardly over breakfast on Tuesday morning, her finger twisting around the edges of her cornrows, her eyes looking everywhere but my face, "How did you know that boy from Sunday?"

"Which boy?" I feigned ignorance and didn't even look up from the toast that I was eating.

"That boy na," She whined.

"Which boy na?" I asked her, mimicking her tone.

"Your friend," She whispered, her voice really low and subdued, "Alfred."

"You know I should be the one asking you that question."

"But I was the one that asked you first."

"And I'm the older one," I replied to her and I looked up to see that she was still toying with her cornrows, some sort of forlorn look on her face, "How did you guys meet?"

"It's a secret," She replied instantly, "I'm never going to tell you no matter how much you ask..."

"Okay, fair enough, just don't ask me to..."

"But you have to tell me how you met him if not I'll fall down and die."

Fall down and... God! "Why are you so obsessed with that saying? You know you shouldn't joke with something like dying."

"Because I know you don't want me to die. That's the only thing I can do to blackmail you into doing anything for me." She replied like she was reciting a nursery rhyme and I was actually starting to get convinced that she actually didn't understand the concept of what she was saying.

Like she was actually 7 years old instead of 17 years old.

"But why are you hellbent on knowing how I met Alfred though?"

"Because you don't even have any friends and from your chats, I could tell that..."

"Wait, hol'up," I interrupted her, an alarm going off in my head, "Which chat?"

"Your WhatsApp chat," She replied with a nonchalance that seemed so much like she was telling me good morning, "I read through them."

Wow. My mouth hung open in disbelief.

"And from the chats, I could tell that you guys are really really close. You guys might even be closer than we are but that's something I'll get back to later," She waved her right hand back casually while I kept watching her as if she was a growing zombie, "What I'm interested in knowing right now is how you guys met and how you guys ended up becoming this close, hmm? Hmm?"

"So you read through my chats?"

"Ehn ehn na," She replied ever so casually, taking another spoonful of food to her mouth.
