Robert comes inside and tells me it's time to go. I get outside and I'm taken aback because a medium-sized figure blocks my path.
"What's wrong with you?" He shouts.
"Ibrahim?"
"No, it's the damn queen"
Well then.
"Why did you leave like that? Do you even care about the people around you. They can get hurt in case you didn't know. Just because you're immune to our parents threats doesn't mean everyone else is!"
What is he saying? I glance at Robert who had a sad look on his face.
"Ibrahim. What happend?"
"What do you mean what happend? You stormed out, people left apart from the little girl and Ayaan, and they got insulted badly. If you had any self control you would've stayed and not let others get hurt" he says with tears in his eyes.
I frown as I look at him.
I touch the side of his arm.
"Ibrahim-" he hisses in pain making me jerk my hand away.
"What's wrong?" I ask worriedly.
"Now you care" he snaps.
"I'm waiting in the car" he says with a cold look.
I stand frozen watching his retreating figure.
"Zayna" Robert says. I look at him.
"Just let him calm down"
I nod and walk to the car. Ibrahim sits at the front not speaking a word. What happend?
When we arrive home he storms to his room.
What do I do?I trudgingly walk to my room as read Isha prayer and two rak'at Nafl prayer. Once I'm done I climb into my bed and fall asleep.
Ibrahim didn't wake me up for Fajr prayer which is why I woke up late. I read the prayer after my shower and quickly got ready. Once I came downstairs I found out that he had already gone so for breakfast there was no one to share with. It's weird because all these days he's been sharing my breakfast so I'm used to only eating half.
"Robert what's wrong with him?" I ask.
"He just needs time. He'll be ok with you soon"
"He's avoiding me" I state.
"Zayna, I've seen the change in him since you've came, we all have. He loves you a lot which is how I know that he will come around. Tell you what, pick him up after school and take him to the ice cream place you went to before. It's his favorite"
I smile.
"Thanks Robert" I say as I get out of the car.The people at school have gotten used to me know so they don't run away from me, they still stare at me but they are a bit better. I walk into my registration class and take my usual seat. Ayaan walks in late... As usual.
"Are you ok?" He asks as he sits next to me.
I nod.
"I'm fine"
"You kind of exploded yesterday" he comments. A small smile makes it's way on my lips which I try my best to hide.
"I just have a personal space problem. I don't like it when people touch me or come too close to me"
He nods.
We don't say anything after that. After 15 long minutes of staying in that class the bell went.
I couldn't even focus on my lessons properly. I knew how to make it up to Ibrahim, but I didn't know if it would work.I noticed how Ashley wasn't in school today. She wasn't in any of my lessons and I have to say that the perky voice is getting a tad bit missed.
I sit down at physics waiting for the class to begin.
"I have marked your tests" the teacher says. "I have to say I was surprised" he looks at me. "Only a couple of people got full marks and I want them to stay back at the end of the lesson" he gives out the sheets and smiles at me when he hands my sheet.
I turn it over to see that I got full marks. I gape at the sheet, I got full marks. The first test I did and I got full marks. Alhamdulillah. Oh my gosh.
The lesson finished quickly and I waited for everyone to go.
"Ayaan it's no shock that you got full marks so you can go" I watch in surprise as he leaves the class.
"You, however, are a bit of a shock. That was your first test?"
"Yeah"
"It's amazing. I want to call your parents and tell them"
"Erm, can't I tell them? You know, as a surprise. I think it would mean more"
He smiles.
"Of course. Off you go"
