"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to try and make me believe those words that are coming out of your mouth. If you succeed then I'll change my ways."
"And what happens if I don't?"
He smirked at me, revealing h...

"She's here? My mother is here in New York!?" -Adam Mathews, IASWAD. CHAPTER TWENTY: A Hard Blow
Zamzam Amin
To help get my mind off of things I decided to hangout with both Aliyah and Samantha. Aliyah and Sam have always gotten along and have been close friends ever since anyone of us could remember. Right now we're in my room while Mrs. Mitchel and Grams are talking up a storm downstairs like they always do. "What movie should we watch?" I asked as I scrolled through my Netflix account.
"Brotherly love!" Aliyah exclaimed excitedly.
I quickly played that movie on my TV set. After that I walked back to my bed where we were all comfortably sitting while eating popcorn. Usually I'd hate eating anything on my bed but right now I'm letting it go and trying to enjoy myself. "Quincy Brown is so good looking!" Sam said once we saw his name show up on the screen.
"Tell me about it!" Aliyah agreed while munching on the popcorn.
"Ayye you got Amir, you better not cheat on my best friend!" I said jokingly while eating the pop corn as well. In response she hit me playfully on my back then turned to the TV. As we were watching the movie I began to notice how the character June is a lot like Abdirahman. Of course without the gang and drug dealing and stuff. He's just so over protective and at times he acts as if he's like my dad just like June does to his little sister Jackie. I guess Jackie and I have a lot in common, we're both two teenage girls trying to deal with difficult situations and don't know how to solve the problems that are being thrown our way. I feel like I could relate a lot to this movie.
After we were done watching the movie we decided to chill and talk. "So what's been going on with you guys? Other than Aliyah getting engaged and all." Sam questioned as she laid down on my pillow comfortably. "I'm taking part in the school play." I replied. Oh man I'm going to have to see him there.
Ever since he broke off the bet I haven't talked to him or Isa. I never thought I'd say this but being around Isa has been really awkward lately. I'm not talking to him and he's also not taking to me. So whenever we're around each other it's completely silent. And every time either Grams or Baba ask what's going on we both just shrug in response. I've never got into this big of a fight with him before in my life.
"Oh yeah we're doing High School Musical right?"
"Yup," I responded, popping the 'P'.
"So how's the bet going with you and Adam? Have you cracked him yet?" Samantha asked with a mischievous look on her face. Oh I forgot to tell her that the bets off...I guess with all the craziness going on I forgot to fill her in. "The bets off." I said as I took the remaining popcorn and put it in my mouth. I could tell that they were both surprised without even looking at them.
