It's Destined

Yasmin POV

Gavin and me walk into the first school on the list of three. We walk to the office to meet up with the principal. "Hello," I say to the principal who was a male. He holds out his hand to shake my hand. "Sorry... religion can't touch a male," I tell him. He nods with a smile "my bad," he gestures for us to sit down. "Is he your son?" he asks. I shake my head "adopted," I tell him with a smile looking at Gavin who was looking around the room.

We talk about how the school system is and what grade Gavin will be in. Tarik sent me a text earlier stating that Dunya is indeed fourteen. So Tarik will be going high school haunting with her. I fill out some forms to enroll him into the school.

"By any chance do you have a teacher job opening?" I question. He nods "Second grade," he says. He hands me the application to fill out, I told him I was going to send it to him since it was a lot to fill out.

He then sends us with a lady at the front to show us around the school. "Are you excited for school?" she asks Gavin. "Yeah... I can't wait," he smiles looking around. She shows us what room he'll be in and the lunchroom and other places. It looked like a great school. "So when does school start again?" I ask. "Next week," she smiles. "Wow... ok that sounds great," I tell her with a smile.

We get ready to leave. "Have a great day," she smiles heading back to the office. "Thank you... you too," I smile as we leave. "This school is big!" Gavin says excited. "I know," I smile.

We head back Tarik and Dunya were sleeping on the couch with the TV on. Gavin shakes his head and we decide to grab pans and make a lot of noise to wake them up. We head to the kitchen both of us grabbing pans and heading back to the living room. In the count of three we started banging the pans. Both Dunya and Tarik jump up staring at us. Gavin and me break out laughing.

"Let's make dinner," I tell them. "What... why?" Dunya mumbles trying to go back to sleep. "Come on... we all can cook," I smile at Tarik. He smiles and gets up "come on Dunya," he says holding his hand out to her. She sighs getting up.

We all head to the kitchen and start cooking not long until it turned into war. Dunya and Tarik dump a cowl of flour in both Gavin and me's head. They said payback for waking them up, but we were not going to have it. We act as if we were washing the flour off but I turn on the sink and grab the sprayer hose and turn around and spray them down. "Ok, ok, you win," they plead. We all break out laughing. "Let's clean this up and make dinner," I tell them.

First we all go change and end up praying before we finally eat dinner. "So, how did it go for finding a school?" Tarik questions. I smile "It was great."

"I finally feel like I'm in a family," Dunya smile, I couldn't help but smile to. "Me too... It's going to be fun living with you guys," Gavin says shoving food in his mouth. We all break out laughing. It felt good to hear that.

We all clean up and head to the living room. We decide to play cards which none of them knew how to play. I have to explain it twice for them understand. We about four rounds Tarik winning two, I won once, and Gavin once. "You guys were cheating," Dunya smirks dropping her cards. "No, we all know that's not what happened," I smile at her.

"That's exactly what happened," she demands standing up and sitting on the couch. Tarik turns on the Xbox one. I decide to take out the microphone, so I can bless them with my wonderful singing (wink).
