As planned we're all sitting in the canteen at 8 munching on dry pieces of toast eying cocoa whose conveniently snagged the last bowl of cocoa pops and not acknowledging the hints to share . No one can get in between her and food , she was almost zombie like during Ramadan.
"Sooo tell us fiya what's the reason behind that goofy smile and dreamy eyes . " asks T wiggling her brows
"I do not look like that " I say whipping my head to look at myself in a window
They all look at me like yeah right .
"Well I don't know what to tell you but this guys good like he's done his homework watching all the romcoms " I say reminiscing for a moment
"Wait like to all the boys I loved before good or like the notebook good " Zahra asks resting her chin on her hands
"Hmmm what's that romcom where he gives the girl a necklace " I say knowing I'm leading them on
"Whaaat " "He gave you a necklace ! " they all whisper shout
Carefully I check to see if the supervising teacher is looking before gently taking out the necklace tucked hidden under my hijab.
"Oh . My . Gosh . Your living a movie " Tia squeals so all the kids mainlybyear 7s in the canteen turn around
"Mind ya business , what ya lookin at " T retors which instantly is complied by everyone
"Not you cocoa you can look " Zahra says to a slightly sheepish cocoa
"That's not even the best part " I whisper squeal
"Wait, there's more " Zahra gasps
"Give me some of your coco pops coacs and I'll tell ya "
"You drive a hard bargain " she replies as she spoon feeds me the cereal
I flip the moon charm over revealing the engraving
"Yeah girl nobody can read that " says Tia as they all lean over
"Ya amar " Z whispers "His nickname for you "
"Wowww " cocoa says munching on her cereal
"We ought to turn all this into a movie give Hollywood a run for its money " Tia says
"Yeah how many times are they gonna do the whole glasses removing thing and wallah your beautiful " Zahra complains
"And the makeovers like the makeup and styled hair will come out in the wash y'know what I'm saying " I add in
"And the breakfasts them Disney kids never have time to eat " blunts cocoa waving her spoon around .
We all laugh
"Hey um don't mean to burst your bubble but necklaces like that are well not cheap plus the custom engraving " Zahra says slightly wincing, picking her words carefully
The colour seems to drain from Tias face .
I look down at the necklace remembering how Khalil makes money.
"Oh god am I wearing basically drugs on my neck ?! " I whisper freaking out
" Hey hey hey " Zahra cuts in "You could be wearing what is the result of selling said product but come on I'm sure he's a classy guy who knows better " comforts Z
"Yeah what she said " agrees cocoa
"That's what she said " a random dude shouts walking past us . We all glare at him
Tia turns back to us " seriously the guy who wears Nike tech and rolls with my bro your calling him classy ?"
"Look there's only one thing you can do ... for your peace of mind " Z begins
"Your gonna have to ask Khalil " Cocoa finishes
