The Muslim Cinderella

Chapter 6

I came out of the bathroom, and stood in shock at what I saw in front of me.

A group of boys playing pool.

And one of those boys were Imraan.

I realized I was staring, so I averted my eyes, and walked to Michelle.

" Michelle." I said. " Someone is here."

Michelle didn't hear me. She was chatting with her friends. Though even I couldn't hear her due to the loud music. I tugged her sleeve, and dragged her away from her friend.

"Ugh, Iqra!" Michelle exclaimed. " What's your deal?"

I looked into Michelle's eyes. She has never talked to me in such ill manner. Nor have I to her.

" Michelle...are you...drunk?" I asked, concerned.

" Maybe." Michelle said. " Maybe not."

This is was very frustrating. If Michelle was drunk I couldn't do anything with her.

" Michelle, listen." I began. She nodded. " There is someone here, and-"

" Uh, DUH! Iqra, you're so stupid sometimes! Ha!" Michelle yelled. Her stomach jiggling from her laughter.

Even if we were best friends, we were nice enough to not call each other names. Not even for fun. Was this just because she was drunk?

" No, Michelle. Imraan is here. And he's a Muslim. He shouldn't be here." I said.

" Well, you're a Muslim. " Michelle told me.

Oh, she's right. That's probably the smartest thing she said all night. But I shouldn't be a hypocrite.

" If IMRAAN is here, then you shouldn't either!" Michelle screamed, putting emphasis on 'Imraan'

I turned to where Imraan was playing pool. He had his head turned in our direction. I quickly walked away, pretending I was only passing. Yet Imraan still stared at me.

I kept my head down, trying to not look at Imraan. Suddenly, I saw him walking up to me.

I quietly stood, hoping he would be going somewhere else. Yet a pair of sneakers walked up to me. Imraan stood tall, and tried to look me in my eyes, but he couldn't see them, due to the veil.

" What are you supposed to be?" He asked.

" A bride." I answered quietly.

" Are you my bride?" He smirked.

I stayed quiet.

" Are we at our wedding?" He said.

I didn't say anything.

Imraan grabbed at my veil, and attempted to lift it up. I couldn't have that, because it would reveal my face. So I did the only thing that came to mind: I punched his face, and ran away.

It might not have been the smarted thing to do, or it could lead to trouble. I ran up the stairs, pushing people as I went.

I entered the closest room, and locked the door. I turned around, and found a baby sleeping in a crib.

" Oh, no." I whispered. I had to be very quiet, or the baby will wake up, scream, and Isabelle would probably come upstairs. Though she might not be able to hear the crying because of the loud music. But someone near might hear and come.

I sat in a rocking chair. I rocked back a forth, while I watched the baby. She was a girl, and very chubby.

What a cutie-patootie.

I looked around the room. There were pictures of her, and a big dresser filled with baby clothes. I noticed something on one of her pictures. It said in black pen, Love to Ava. I'm guessing the babies name is Ava.

There is a picture of Isabella holding Ava. They look so cute.

As my back is facing the crib, I suddenly hear a coo. I turn around, to find Ava standing up in her crib, looking at me.

I walk over to her crib, and hold her hands. I gently clap her hands together, and she lets out a giggle. After that, Ava was repeatedly clapping, with a sweet smile on her face. As I patted Ava, and stroked her head, there was a very loud knock on the door.

Ava burst into screams and tears, and the knocking stopped.

" Oh, a baby!" I hear Imraan say. " Uh, sorry baby!"

Imraan footsteps lead down the stairs. He was probably looking for me.

Ava stops crying. She sniffs a few times, but I hug her, and calm her down.

But with Imraan looking for me, how will I sneak outside?

Hey! Thanks for reading this far!

If you did, give this part a vote!

Sorry for making this chapter a little short.

Now, I want your advice.

You should know, I am an extremely huge Rhett and Link fan.

Also for Good Mythical Morning. ( search them up)

Though I kind of like Link more than Rhett. ( sorry Rhett! You're only like one point away!)

So I was thinking, should I do a fanfic? Something like, "Adopted by Link Neal"?

I don't know... but I have always wanted to do a fanfic.

Please tell me in the comments if you would want a fanfic.

Also, please check out my books, Teenager Posts, Calm Down it's Just a Rant, Cyberbully, and my other books.

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to comment about the fanfic!

Peace
