You're Not Gay

Unexpected Encounter

Bilal

Holidays were over, and tomorrow was first day of school. I was relaxing in my room when my cousin Khalid entered.

"As-Salam Alaikum," he said

"Mu-Alaikum Salam," I replied. "What's up ?"

"Dad wants us to go somewhere, he said I should call for you" Khalid said and I just nodded in response

We headed to my uncle's room and nocked before entering. As we entered my uncle's room, we said in unison, "As-Salam Alaikum"

My uncle responded. "Mu-Alaikum Salam, Bismillah. Bilal, I need you to go with Khalid and Raihan to Aladji Djibril's"

"For the party ?" I asked, curious about the purpose of the visit

"Yes, Take this," he said , handing me a box of school supplies. "You'll give them to Aladji Djibril's family.

"Okay, no problem," I replied taking the box

After the party, we headed home, and as I got out of the car, I saw my cousin Ibrahima.

"Ibrahima!" I called out to him

"Yes ?" He responded

"Did mom finish packing your school bags and books ?" I asked, concerned about his preparation for school

"Yes, she gave yours to Nadia since your room was locked" he replied

"Okay, tell Nadia to come," I instructed him

Ibrahima shouted Nadia's name, but she didn't respond immediately. I grew impatient and said. "Oh, are you mad, go call her upstairs and fast"

"I'm going." He said frowning

Just then I called her from downstairs. "Nadia "

"Yes," She replied

"Please, come down" I asked

"I can't, I'm exhausted, you know I was the want cooking today," Nadia said sounding tired

"I know, sorry. I just wanted my books and stuffs," I explained

"They're with me, your room was locked," Nadia said

"Thanks, I'm coming up," I replied heading upstairs to collect my belongings

After discussing with Nadia for a while, I left with my school needs and headed to my room. Everything was already packed and ready for the next day. I liked seeing everything organized, as I hated being in a rush.

I scrolled my phone and then I slept quickly after that, I was exhausted from the day's event and I didn't want to wake up late for school

Bam...Bam...Bam

As the alarm clock rang for Fajr prayer, I got up and headed to wake up my siblings. "Wake up guys ! It's time for prayer!" I said, knocking on their doors

After prayer, everyone returned to their rooms to get ready for the day. I went to my bathroom to take a bath, brush my teeth and start drying my hair

Once I was dressed in my uniform, I headed to my cousins' rooms again to wake them up since I knew that they were all still asleep. "Wake up, it's time to get up! " I said, knocking on their doors one by one. Then I went to the kitchen

As I entered the kitchen, I greeted my uncle's wife. "As-Salam Alaikum"

"Mu-Alaikum Salam," She replied smiling. "How was your sleep ?"
