AUTHOR'S POV

Sakina, our sweet heart, was sleeping her way through the world, dreaming sweet dreams, until she felt a sudden splash of water on her face. Startled, she jolted awake to find her mischievous brother standing beside her, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey sleepyhead, wake up! You're going to be late for college again," her brother teased, shaking his head in mock disapproval.

Sakina widened her eyes in shock and quickly glanced at the clock on her bedside table. She gasped in horror when she saw the time and scrambled out of bed, ignoring her brother's laughter.

"Ugh, why did you have to wake me up like that? Now I'm going to be late!" Sakina groaned as she rushed to the bathroom to freshen up.

"Good morning, sleepyhead!" he exclaimed, laughing at her startled expression.

Sakina groaned and wiped the water off her face, shooting her brother a playful glare. "You big monster, what's gotten into you?" she scolded.

Her brother just giggled and poked her cheek.

"You were sleeping too much, sis! You're gonna be late for school!"Sakina's eyes widened in alarm as she glanced at the clock. "Oh no, you're right!" she exclaimed, scrambling out of bed. She hurriedly made her way to the bathroom to take a quick shower and get ready for the day.

After a refreshing shower, Sakina decided to wear a pretty pink kurti with silver bangles and tear-drop earrings. She carefully draped her dupatta over her shoulders, making sure it looked perfect. Also she placed the hijab over her head. Satisfied with her appearance, she rushed downstairs to grab a quick bite to eat before heading off to school. (Ps: it's her first day of school hence she doesn't have her school uniform yet that's why she's gonna wear this dress for the day)

As she entered the kitchen, she found her family already seated at the table, enjoying breakfast. Sakina grabbed a piece of bread, quickly buttered it, and munched on it as she darted towards the door.

"Good morning, everyone! Gotta run, see you later!" she called out as she rushed out of the house.

"Sakina, at least sit down and have a proper breakfast before you leave," her mother called out to her, but Sakina was already out the door, munching on her bread.

On her way to school, Sakina decided to stop by her best friend's house to pick her up. She knocked on the door and waited impatiently for her friend to answer. After a few moments, she heard her friend's groggy voice from inside.

"Sakina, is that you? What time is it?" her friend mumbled, still half-asleep.

Sakina rolled her eyes and barged into the room.

"Wake up, lazybones! We're going to be late for school!"Her friend yawned and rubbed her eyes, groaning at the sudden intrusion. "Fine, fine, I'm up. Give me a minute to get ready," she grumbled, dragging herself out of bed.

After a quick change of clothes and some hasty grooming, the two girls made their way downstairs. They hailed an auto and jumped in, speeding off towards their school.

Sakina was feeling nervous as she walked through the gates of the school on her very first day. She clutched her bag tightly, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Aziya, her best friend, walked beside her, reassuring her with a warm smile.

as they entered the school building. "I'm in section A, but I'm sure you'll find your way to your class too.

"I'll see you at lunchtime, okay? Good luck!"Sakina watched as Aziya entered the classroom, feeling a pang of sadness at being separated from her best friend. She took a deep breath and started to walk down the hallway, her eyes scanning the room numbers in search of her own class.

"Sakina nodded, trying to remember the directions Aziya had given her. They both walked down the hallway, students bustling around.

Lost in her thoughts, Sakina didn't notice the boy walking towards her until it was too late. They collided with a thud, causing Sakina to stumble back in surprise.

The guy turned to look at her, his expression cold and unfriendly.

"Sorry, I'm new here and I can't seem to find my classroom," Sakina said, trying to sound polite.

The guy just glared at her and walked away without saying a word. Sakina sighed and continued her search. Finally, she found her classroom and took her seat next to a boy with tousled hair and a mischievous smile.

"Hi, I'm Sakina," she greeted him, hoping to make a new friend.

"I'm Zayn," he replied, flashing her a charming smile. "I heard you ran into the school's  heartthrob earlier. Be careful, he's known for being a bit of a jerk.

He noticed her distress about her studies and offered to help her with her notes. Sakina felt grateful for his kindness and thanked him with a smile.

During lunch break, Sakina met up with Aziya and told her about her day, Meanwhile Aziya who warned her to stay away from the school heartthrob, Kamran.

Well he's quite of a rude guy, and also is sort of dangerous, you'll be dead meat for him if you mess up with him.

"Stay far away from Kamran, he's nothing but trouble," Aziya advised.

Sakina nodded, not wanting to get involved with someone who gave off bad vibes. She was glad to have Zayn as her seatmate, who seemed much more pleasant to be around.

"Wait for me here, i have to use the washroom" sakina said as she got up from her seat, with the milkshake in her hands.

As she walked, she yet again found herself bumping into someone. She looked at him and widened his eyes, MR. TROUBLE.

As she turned around to run away, he caught her hand, turning her around making her bump into his chest, also did i tell you guys the milk shake had been spilled all over him.
