"Weth up sweethy" Fred's voice whispered in my ear.
"Two minutes please" I said with my croaked sleepy voice.

Fred and George whispered something to each other and the next thing I know there are two kids screaming my name in my ear so loudly I would go deaf any second now.

"HASNA!!! WAKE UP!!"
I held my hands to my ears and shut my eyes. Finally they stopped and thankfully, I didnt go deaf.

I huffed and got out of my bed and went to the bathroom. I took a hot shower and washed my hair. I changed to a simple dress and put on my Abaya and Niqab.

"Good morning M'lady" George said bowing down to me.
"Dont you dare goodmorning me"I playfully glared at him. He pouted and then glared at a giggling Fred.
"Can I come to your school?" George asked.
"Dont you like your school?"I asked.

"Bethauthe there'th thith mad girl Vaneththa thlaiming him ath her huthband."Fred snickered.

They got into their childish argument and I left to ask Dina to borrow her car.

"Morning! How did you sleep?"she asked me.

"Good Alhamdulillah" I replied. she did not seem confused or asked me the meaning as her daughter is a converted muslim-and married to my cousin.

"Uh Dina, can I borrow you car for tod--"
"Of course! Here you go!" She said handing me the keys.

"Thank you" I said taking the scrambled egg and juice from her. I finished the breakfast and hurried to the car.

"Goothbye! Have a nithe thay!"
"Goodbye Hasna!"

"Good bye! And thank you for everything!" I yelled back at them , waving my hand.

I reached school on time and hurried towards the student office to get my time table.I found it easily.

"Whats your name?"the lady asked

"Hasna Farookh" I replied.

"Mhm.......there you go"she smiled giving me my timetable.

"Thanks"I smiled back and looked around for my first class-Chemistry.

To my surprise I did not get any strange looks unlike in my previous school. Maybe there are some hijabi's here. I searched for chemistry for 15 minutes but all invain. I started twitching my lips-a(bad)habit of mine-under my niqab.

"Need any help?"

I turned around to see a girl wearing abaya and niqab and by looking at her eyes I could see she was smiling. "You look lost"

"Uh yeah."

"What class are you looking for?"

"Um....chemistry"

"Oh. Too bad I am not in chemistry"

I chuckled. She walked past me and gestured me to follow. I quickly caught up with her and she pointed towards a class to my right.

"Thank you...."I said.

"Amina. And you are...."

"Hasna"I smiled.

"Our names have the same ending! Wow!"
I laughed at her childishness.

"What do you have next?"she asked.

"Umm....physics then english then lunch then maths and calculus and done" I said looking at my timetable.

"Yay! Your not for gym too! right? We can take a walk around the campus. And I'll show you my favourite place and I dont have any best friends so you can be my best friend! Okay? "She exclaimed.

"Yeah, sure" I laughed at her blabbering.

"See you at lunch!"she waved and disappeared into the hallways.

"Okay" I said which she probably did not hear.

I walked into my class and sat down beside a blonde girl who did not utter a word the whole period.

The bell rang signalling the end of english class. I gathered my things and went to my locker to put them in. I shut the locker and turned to the cafeteria searching for Amina.

I saw someone familiar-blue eyes, dark brown hair, thin eyebrows. Who could it be? I decided to talk to him. I walked to his table before being pushed by a familiar blond. She threw me a disgusting look. With her was another blond talking to a boy sitting beside him.

"What is she doing here Zahir? Dont tell me she's one of your muzlim friends"she said eyeing me from head to toe

"What is she wearing? A black box? Off you you go darling!"she put on a fake smile.

Without another word I turned around and started searching for Amina.

"Hey wait!" Said that boy-zahir I guess. I ignored him and started looking around. Where in the world is this girl? I tripped on my abaya and caught the first thing I touched. It was someone's bag. I realized I did not fall but pulled back a boy who was walking.

He fell on his butt and I took a step back so he wont fall on my foot. He got up quickly brushing his pants.
"Hey!"

"Oh I'm so sorry"I replied.

He looked up at me and a horrified expression covered his face.
"Where is your face?"he asked wide eyed
"Uh here" I said pointing at my face with my index finger.

"Your nose?"
"Uh here"

"Eyes. No, I can see them. Mouth?"
"Here"I pointed groaning.

"Forehead?"
I huffed pointing at my forehead. He sighed in relief and walked to a boy screaming,
"Hey she just has a cloth on her face! She's not a monster"

I made a face at his stupidity and heard someone chuckle and another person snicker behind me. I turned to find Zahir grinning and the blonde behind him shooting daggers at me. Ya allah! Why does this girl hate me so much. And She was the one who sat next to me in chemistry.

"Hasna! There you are!"
Amina said from behind me.

"There I am? I've been searching for you since 15 minutes" I told her completely ignoring the two standing behind me.

"Lets go" she told and we went to grab our lunch.

Zahir,hm? I wonder why his name sounds so familiar too.
