Jada sighed as she looked at the list of assigned partners for their school project. She had hoped to work with one of her close friends, but instead, she was paired with Ahmed, the guy who always seemed to get on her nerves.
"Great," she muttered to herself as she made her way to their meeting spot.
When she arrived, Ahmed was already there, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed. "Hey, partner," he said with a smirk.
Jada tried her best to ignore him as they discussed their project, but she couldn't help but feel irritated by his constant teasing and snarky remarks.
"K so the point is that we see how elements react with the open nature?" Ahmed asks me
"Mhm.." i mumble back
"Okay if u do that then ill watch" he says with a grin on his face looking like he has made the best joke the world has ever heard.
I ignore him.
As they worked together, Jada began to notice that Ahmed wasn't all bad. He could be kind and considerate, and he even had a sense of humor that she found herself appreciating. He would make jokes to lighten the mood when they were silent, and he would ask her about her opinions on other students.. maybe there is also a softer side to Ahmed other then the arrogant and stubborn impression she has of him??
"my mom is celebrating a house warming of our new house, u wanna come? U can take a friend with u if u want." He suggests
"hm ill see if i have time" i say not knowing if i want to go
"have time?" he scoffs
"mhm, see ya" i reply and walk away immediatly.
-------------------
I get home and ask my friends if one of them wants to come with me, none of them want to.
I decide to go on my own and my mom comes with me since his family used to be our neighbours.
We arrive and i see Ahmed right away. I walk up to him and he offers me a drink, i accept it.
He invites me to go outside. He walks infront of me, their house is beautiful. He looks nice with a black blouse and black pants with a LV belt, he has taste. We sit at a bench outside in their garden and we look at the moon, its full moon. He asks about my brother.
"How's Cench doing?" he asks
"Fine he's in college now" I reply
It goes silent.
I look to the side and suddenly i feel a hand grabbing my face and pulling me in. His lips touch mine and i was shocked and didnt know what to do, i pull back.
"Im sorry, i- my head is just everywhere right now" he says fast
"No wait, its okay" I say suprising him and myself too.
I pull him in for a kiss again until i hear a high pitched voice,
"AHMED!!"
