Chapter 3- Cousins and Prefects

The next day:

Ihtirah's POV:

"Okay,class,I want you to submit your homework on this Wednesday,alright?" Our Chemistry teacher,Teacher Lena said to the class. After that,she went out,carrying her vacation-like bags.

"Ihtirah,have you seen my pen?" Asked my table-mate beside me, Khairul. "Yes,it's on the -" my sentences got cut off when I saw a familiar person passing through. No,I couldn't be wrong. I'm never wrong when it comes to knowing people.

"Yes? Where?" He asked again. I look at him,"Khairul,just give me a moment. I'll be back." I rose up from my seat then went to follow the person.

As I'm following the person,my heart keeps beating faster with each step I'm taking right now. My adrenaline is rushing and my brain tells me that I can't wait to see the person. The person that I have been missing all these time, the person that always by my side when something is wrong.. The person suddenly stopped. I stopped too. Okay,deep breath Ihtirah,this is your chance..

I tap the person on the shoulder,"Wany?" She turns to me,"yes-."

It is her. My closest cousin. Her eyes is wide when she saw me, speechless, she pulls me into a hug. I return back the hug. After that,she let me go. Wany is months-older than me and she is kind,cute,taller than me. She is the perfect-type of wife.

"Wow..I can't believe it. You went here too?" She asked. "Yeah,I'm in A1 class. What about you?" I asked,trying so hard not grin but failed. "I'm in Express class." She replied,smiling.

"Wow,that must be so difficult for you to achieve,right?" I sighed. Express class is for the really-really-smart-brain students. They only go to school for 2 years. Because they skipped grade 9 and went straight grade 10. After one year,they will be sitting for their BGCE 'O' Level exam. Good for her,I'm not willing to squeeze my brain too hard until you want to end your life right at that time.

"Yeah. It is so difficult. I had to sleep at 12 am after revision and woke up at 5 am only to re-fresh what did I just learned. So,yes, I'm killing myself. Don't forget to tell my mother that I love her."

I gasp then punch her on the shoulder playfully,"don't say that, last time I messed with my mother using that , she cried her eyes out until there were no tears left."

She stares at me for a moment..after that, we burst out laughing.. oh,it is so good to have your cousin back by your side. Perfect timing.

"Oh! Look at that time..I have class after this..I must go.." she said,checking her watch. "Oh! Yeah. Me too,I have biology after this."

"I'll see you later at break-time?" I nod,"yes. See you later." I smiled

She smiles back,"don't forget,Hazmi is also here too. He is in the same class as me. Byee!" She ran off to her class.

Hazmi is here too? Hazmi is also my cousin..Wany's cousin..We are the most closest among all of our cousins.. Hazmi is one year younger than me,tall, handsome,can cook very well and he has this smile that made girls went red. But,he is a shy person. As I am walking back to the class,the cute scenario plays in my head,where we all were just 7 years old and Hazmi was 6.

Flashback:

"Hey,guys.." Hazmi called us. Me and Wany turned to him,"yeah?" He pointed his paper,showing the question:

Q: do you like to come early or no?

We stared at his paper,squinting our eyes..Hazmi sighed,"how should I answer it?" He asked,twirling his pen between his fingers.
