Safia's POV

"I totally forgot how boring this class was" I groaned when we were walking out of the room.

"Well, the teacher is not that bad" Malik said.

"No the teacher isn't, the subject on the other hand..."

"Malik and I have an hour break now, will we see you during lunchbreak Amina?"

"Yeah, just rub it in that I still have an hour to go until lunchbreak" she said as her eyebrows plunged into a frown.

"Me? Pff I'm doing nothing habibti". I responded with a smirk.

I loved teasing her, I'm her best friend. I and I alone was allowed to do that.

"I love you" I shouted while Amina was walking to her class.

She raised her hand in response but didn't bother to say something back.

Malik needed to pick something up from his house so I decided to go with him. We were walking to the exit of the school and as soon as we walked through the doors, I got a text from a number I wasn't familiar with. I unlocked my phone and saw that it was Brody. Oh great the jerk just texted me. That was exactly what I needed. I almost forgot about his existence, but surprise here he is.

Hey princess... I mean Safia ;). Are you also free until lunchbreak? If you are, can we meet up for our project in the library? Xx The jerk.

I looked at Malik and let him read the message.

"Wallahi I would move to China for this guy just so that I would never see, hear or smell him again (Yes smell, he has his own smell. I'm not saying it's a bad one. Just... oh well never mind)", I said while holding my head in my hands when Malik was reading the messages.

"This guy gives me a headache even if he isn't around" I kept on complaining.

"Just go Safia, I will see you at lunch", Malik said while he gave me my phone back.

"Ooh and good luck", he smirked and walked out of the building.

"Ha-ha verry funny Malik", I yelled at him.

I texted jerky boy back:

"Yup I'm coming"

I made my way to the library and saw Brody sitting at a table with his laptop in front of him.

"Bismillah" I whispered before entering the library.

"Hey jerk... I mean Brody" I teased.

"Hey, joke thief" he said with a smirk.

This guy keeps on annoying me.

"So how are you Princess", he said while closing his laptop.

"My name is Safia and I'm fine", I responded annoyed.

"Fine-fine truce... For now?" he said offering his hand to shake.

No way I'm going to touch his perfect hand. Yes he had pretty hands, call me weird but the first thing I look at are hands. And his weren't that bad, not too big and they were clean.

"Truce" I said ignoring his hand.

"Are my hands dirty for you princess?", he asked putting his hand down.

"I'm not touching you or any other male that's not family", I responded. "Anyway lets start shall we"

We started reading the task and we had the choice on what animal we're basing our project on. For this project we had to choose an animal which we needed to do research on. And not just the basic things, everything. All the muscles and teeth the animal has, if they are protected species, what they consume on 1 day,... Ev-ery-th-ing.
