Tangled In A Love Triangle

Chapter eight

Farha's pov

I got the things we needed and began to work. At a point I looked at him and saw his eyes were closed and he had headphones Stuck into his ears. I looked over at the teacher and saw his attention was on something else and turned back to Emmette. I would have left him to be because it would have saved me from his obnoxiousness but then he was missing out and I wasn't that wicked so I used a pencil to tap his head with. He slowly opened his eyes then removed the headphones. He raised his eyebrows as if to say 'how may I help you'. I rolled my eyes.

" You know this is supposed to be a pair work not individual work." I said and put one hand on my hip as I waited for him to reply. The only reply I got was a shrug of his shoulders.

" Now class if your experiment is fuming don't worry, you are on the right track just add a little bit of water and it will go down".

I grinned at the fact that the experiment went well and not even an accident like my former experiments had and that was for the first time, this should go into history. I saw mr Dickson coming our way and knew that I had to involve Emmette and make it seem like he had been participating. I called his name. Stupid farha he can't possibly hear you over those. So I tapped him Just as mr Dickson came close, I said, "partner could you pass me the water?" While gesturing my head at his direction. Luckily Emmette caught up and quickly passed me a beaker. I smiled a fake smile and said thank you before proceeding to complete the experiment. I started slowly like the water would burn but with the way the teacher was staring at me. I gulped in air. One drop of it and the chemicals exploded all over the place. I froze at the spot not wanting to move and heard laughter coming from beside me. I slitted  my eyes at Emmette trying to be angry at him but couldn't and found myself joining him.

" Miss Ali, Mr Gregory I believe it would be more to your advantage if you stopped laughing and get back to work."    
I tried to stifle a laugh while Emmette clearly didn't care and kept on laughing. "That is it, you two out of my class now!" A livid looking Mr Dickson yelled.

We instantly stood up and left. I've never been sent out of a class before but right now it was at the back at my mind as we continued to laugh.

" Oh my Allah, you could have seen his face," I said while trying to breath. "He looked like he was ready to tear our heads away from our bodies." Emmette said with a smile,which suddenly dropped. He lifted his finger to his lips and he signaled for me to keep quiet. Totally confused,I obeyed. He went down the corridor, almost instantly he sprinted back 'run!' I needed not be told twice. The hall monitor was around the corner I may have been sent out of class for the first time but I am not ready for detention.

We were currently in the janitors closet and my heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to detonate not only because of the running but also because of how alarmingly close we were. He had a sweet musky scent and he too was breathing heavily 'astagfurullah'.

"Emmette." He looked at me indolently and waited for me to continue. "Take four steps back please." He seemed bewildered at the moment before somewhat realization dawned on him.

"Sorry,I understand the whole distance thing." I looked at him confused while he moved back a little and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He must have noticed my confused look because he proceeded to explain.

"My cousin. She's Muslim and she is really strict about all this, people that are not your harham can't even shake hands with you." I smiled impressed by his small knowledge. "The correct word is mahram and I think it is about time we left. Classes end right about," I paused to check the time "now."

He first checked to make sure the coast was clear before we went out and simultaneously the bell rang, just in time.

"That must have been an adventure for you." I lowered my gaze before I answered him. "Yeah and it was actually kinda fun." He let out a small chuckle.

"So you're not mad at me for getting you sent out of the class," He said with a smirk. "Who said I wasn't mad at you?" I asked with a smirk plastered on my face. "Your actions spoke for you little one." I couldn't fight the urge to roll my eyes and replied in a sarcastic tone,"of course oh wise one" I almost regretted saying it because that sentence seemed to have inflated his already huge ego.

"There is no denying that but then I am a hot wise guy," he said and wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed at his display and shook my head. "Yeah you wish." I said while laughing "oh I know," he replied before joining me to laugh. I saw Laila and Alice coming from behind him, my time to go. "See you around," I said with a smile.

"Can't wait to see me around now little one." He wiggled his eyebrows again.

"Nope was just trying to be polite." At that I walked over to my friends who were looking at me gleefully with raised eyebrows. Knowing these two they were definitely not going to let it slide.
