HIS FEISTY HIJABI

Chapter 4- Tired

"Mateo what's going on?" I asked carefully

He stretched his hand and pulled on my hijab aggressively and my eyes widened ,My Scarf was about to fall when someone quickly covered pulls my hoodie over my head ....It was Leila

She had borrowed me the hoodie in class claiming she wanted to see how I would  look in it

Mateo's hands fell to his sides and my eyes welled up with tears

I heard the snickers and laughs of the people in the hallway

Of course I didn't like Mateo but I never imagined he would do something like this

I gave him a tight slap and ran out of the  school with Leila hot on my trail

"Zahra Wait" She yelled as she ran after me

"Zahra Slow down ,The hoodie will fall off"

I stopped in my tracks

She finally caught up to me

"Come to my house so you can fix your Hijab ,Its Closer than yours" She said softly

"No...You have  brothers" I said

"Nobody's home , Everyone's at work" She said

And I nodded and followed her home , I entered her room and fixed my hijab on my head

"Thank you Leila" I said in a quiet voice

"Hey don't think about it too much ,Mateo's a jerk ,Don't bother yourself cause of him" She said in a comforting voice 

"I'm Okay....I better get home now ,My little brother's probably home alone" I said and left

I arrived home when water squirted on me ,I looked and saw Kareem holding a water gun

"Look at what Mom Got me!!" He said excited

I ignored him and went up to my room he followed me and pulled on my abaya sleeve ,I had given Leila back her hoodie

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked

"Nothing ,Please Just Leave me alone" I said

He huffed "Its not like I want to be around you anyways" He said and stormed out of the  room slamming my door shut

I flopped on the  bed and buried  my face into my pillow as I felt tears streaming down my face

I'm tired....Of always trying to fight for myself, Tired of all the bullying I received because of my religion, Tired of all the whispers I hear when I walk down the halls ,Tired of all the Mocking, Tired.....

Mateo's POV

"Bro don't worry ,You tried" Nathan said and Travis nodded

Was that meant to make me feel better?  I FELT LIKE COW DUNG

I can't believe I did that , She might have disliked me before but now she HATES me

Liam smirked "Guys did you see the look on her face" He said and pat me on the back

"You did good Bro ,You made the little terrorist cry" Liam  said

I tightened my fist and gritted my teeth

How dare he

I punched him and he stumbled back

I grabbed him by his collar

"She's not a terrorist!!"

"Hey Why are you acting so protective of her now, You were the one that tried to pull of her Hijab" Liam said

I pushed him away , He was right.....I had no right to be protective, I was the one who broke her trust ,I left the school feeling guilty

But Why.....

I have done way worse things to other people then why was I feeling guilty for  her......

Why do I feel so bad......

Was she ever gonna forgive me.....

So what do we think? Does he deserve forgiveness? Personally I think what he did was horrible , If I was Zahra I would NEVER forgive me but Meh its a romance story

But Trust me when I say It won't be easy to earn her forgiveness

Tell me what you think , Maybe I should find a new Male Lead? Tell me your thoughts
