My Life as a Muslim Girl

My Life as a Muslim Girl: Chapter 19-I'm In

I read the first sentence, and immediately dropped the paper.



I had gotten in.



I heard my phone ring, and saw the caller id. It was Mohamed.




"Did you get your paper?" I asked him



"Yeah, I got in. How about you?" he asked




"Yeah, I'm in." I told him


"What about Amina?" I asked



"She got in also." he said



"Yay! I'm going to tell my mom. I'll talk to you later." I told him



"Mom, guess what?" I told her


"Yes?" She replied



"I'm a student at the university of Bradford now. " I said excitedly



"That's great!" she said. "After your father comes home, we'll go out for dinner."



I went upstairs to tell Laila.



Finally things were at a good place.

I was going to college with my best friends, and Mohamed.


This was going to be a fun journey.



Inshallah.

The next day



I went over to Amina's house, and we decided to clean her closet.


"When does it end?" I asked


"What? My clothes?"



"Yeah, how much do you have?" I said


"Too much to count" she replied



While we were cleaning Mohamed came in, and asked us if we wanted to go out for lunch.


Knowing Amina I knew we would she say yes.


"Is that even a question?" she said



"Give me 10 minutes to get ready" she said



"I'll just be in the car." Mohamed said


"I'll be downstairs." I told her



I walked downstairs, and saw Mohamed in the kitchen.


"Why aren't you in the car yet?" I asked


"I rather stay in the house."


I giggled at his response.


"Do you want a drink?" he asked



"Yeah, can I get water?"


"Sure"


"So, what's up?" he asked

"Nothing. I'm just excited for college"


"Yeah me too" he said "when do you start classes?"

"Next week" I told him


"Me too!"


"It's because I wanted to get an early start and so I could finish classes earlier." I said


"That's why I'm doing it too"



We saw Amina coming down the stairs, and we all gathered inside the car.



"Lets play 20 questions" Amina suggested



"Sure" Mohamed and I said together


"Favorite color?" Amina asked



"Green" Mohamed and I said together


"Look at you guys having something in common." Amina said


"Favorite book" Mohamed asked



"The fault in our stars" I said


"I don't have a favorite" Amina said



"Favorite food?"i asked


"Everything" Mohamed said



"Pasta. I love pasta" Amina replied



"Recent crush" Amina asked


The car got silent quickly.


"This amazing girl that I've been waiting for. She's perfect, and everything I've wanted. Hopefully she feels the same way." Mohamed said out of no where


"Well here we are. Let's get some lunch."



We got out of the car, and went inside and got seated.



We ordered our food, and made small talk.



"I think I left my phone in the car." Amina said "I'm gong to get it."



After she left, the table got awkward.


"So, wanna finish 20 questions?" he suggested.


"Sure. I'll go first"
"Who were you talking about in the car?" I asked



He was about to answer when I saw recognizable people coming inside the restaurant.


My parents.
