"leave me alone" I screamed, "let me be!". The shadow moved closer, slowly creeping towards me "why?" He asked In a sickly sweet voice, "don't you wanna give daddy a hug?", snapping my head up I levelled my gaze to his own "you were never a dad to me" I spat, tears welling in my eyes "a father doesn't do what you did to our family". He stepped towards me. Faintly I started to hear a beeping sound, with each step he took it grew louder. Just as he was two steps away from me he began to laugh, the same screeching laugh I had heard five years ago, the beeping sound grew louder muffling his laughter, slowly everything around me vanished and I was pulled into darkness. *~*~*~*~*~
I jumped out of bed startled and slid my finger across my phone screen to turn of my alarm. "Authu billahi min ashaytaan Alrajeem" I recited as jumped out of bed. "Time to get ready for school" I thought while rolling my eyes, I mean come on can you blame me! Throwing open my wardrobe, I quickly grabbed a navy blue shirt and black flows skirt and start heading to the bathroom

After showering and getting ready I walk up to my door and grab the black hijab that I left hanging on it last night and start wrapping it around my head, fastening it with a pin. As I walk downstairs, I can hear my older brother Dave humming a random tune while eating cereal. Now I know what your thinking, 'why is his name Dave?' Well that's the thing, only half of my family are Muslim, my dad and i converted about a year ago while my mum and brother are still Christian. My mum had her back turned to me while she cooked something on the stove. I stood beside her and grabbed a piece of bacon from the counter and popped it in my mouth, oh did I forget to mention that it was turkey bacon (haha gotcha😝😆). "No picking!" my mum said, giving me a mock glare, pouting slightly I sat down at the table while mumbling a 'hi'. Mum quickly finished making breakfast and I began to eat, after finishing and washing the dishes I went up to Dave and tapped him on the shoulder, turning around he looked at me with raised eyebrows. "Umm... Big bro can you drive me to school please?
Dadhadtoleaveearlyforameetingandsinceyourgoingthereanywayithoug- " I was cut off of with my speech because he put his hand over my mouth "yeah sis I will, no problem just please stop rambling" he said while trying to contain his laughter. I removed his palm from over my mouth and glared at him to which he burst out laughing, stomping to the door I slipped on my black sandals and opened the door while shouting out a bye to my mum.
Slamming the door shut I skipped over to the car and got into the passengers seat, Dave mimicking my movements. As he started the engine the radio turned on and music started to play, Dave turned toward me with a sheepish smile and pressed the button to turn it off. " thank you!" I said smiling wide, Dave stared at me as if deep in thought " you know sal you've changed since you became Muslim" he stated "in a good way" he added. "Just drive" I said while smiling shyly
As we got nearer to the school you could hear the chatter of students as they made there was into the school building. Upon reaching the campus of out high school I got out the car after saying a goodbye to my brother. He came toward me and pulled me into a hug, "sal" he mumbled "you know I love you no matter what you do In Your life right?" He asked warmly. I smiled at him bearing my teeth "yup day-day I love you too, always so please release me before I pass out from the lack of oxygen I am receiving" I stuttered while he chuckled. " now let's get to class don't wanna be late on our first day back!" Dave said quickly while turning around. "K bye!" ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ "OK class , since we have a few new students I will choose some of you to introduce yourselves" please don't be me, please don't be me " Asher dane, Lia Collins, salsabeel Adams ands kara Davidson, please introduce yourself " so it's official the teacher hates me. Nervously I waited for my turn.
"Err my name is salasa!" I exclaimed while a few people snickered "I mean Salsabeel Adams" I corrected while blushing. Well if there is anyone who wants to be a dork, please step right this way... "This is gonna be a long year" I thought to myself as I leaned back in my chair....
