Everything you lose is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid

Safiyyah walked inside her room to see Charlotte, her roommate.
Charlotte was sitting on her bed trimming her nails. Her curly blonde locks were hanging untied.
"Oh you're back" Charlotte said looking at her.
"Yeah" Safiyyah replied sitting on her bed keeping Hayat's gift beside her now in a clean paper bag Myra Aunty had given her.
"What's that" Charlotte asked looking keenly at Hayat's gift.
"It's a purse for Hayat's birthday tomorrow" Safiyyah replied taking it out.
"It's pretty"
"It is" Safiyyah nodded.
After a few minutes of resting and thinking of yesterday she got up, did wudu and prayed her missed prayers.
a while later she found herself back on her bed.
She was grateful for the comfort of it.
But she had work to do.
She got up and grabbed her bag and sat back on her bed.
Her bag was black in colour with several compartments that made it pretty comfortable to use.
On one of the zippers there was a small blue keychain attached.
Originally it was lighter blue in colour but has gotten dirty through wear.
She detached the keychain from her bag and placed it inside her bedside drawer.
Safiyyah didn't wish to be reminded of the person who gave it to her as a gift.
She took out some books from her bag.
Time to finish assignments.
It was true that she was tired from the highly eventful day but she didn't want to bother explaining everything to her Professors.
Safiyyah started to complete her work.
"You know I went to this party day before yesterday and there was this guy-" Charlotte began her usual talk.
"Stop right there Charlotte I am working and definitely not interested" Safiyyah said not even bothering to look up.
She had heard a million of these stories all ending in the same way.
And she had just had the most stressful 24 hours of her life recently. (12 but who's counting)
She needed a break.
"You are so rude!" Charlotte exclaimed dramatically.
"Fine, give me fifteen minutes" Safiyyah sighed.
"Okay" Charlotte smiled and Safiyyah rolled her eyes wondering what about the odds of her explaining Charlotte of the shooting.
But she was too tired and decide to conserve her energy.
