My Life Online

Day One

"Name please," the man had a very cheerless expression. He wore a black suit along with a white shirt. He didn't seem young, rather he looked to be around fourth-five.

"Anaya. Anaya Tawfeeq" I said proudly.

"And the young lady next to you?"

"That's Rumejsa, my plus one." He glanced at her and then looked down at the paper on his desk. He turned multiple pages till he came across my name.

"You can go." He said, giving me a blank look.

He stamped our hands with black ink. It said 'Arab Fashion Week 2016.' It looked a little like black henna which is pretty cool. We took a left from the reception and walked through a long corridor. There was directions on the wall, telling the guests which way to go, seeing as the building had a lot of corridors. I opened one of the doors which had a paper stuck on. It had 'Fashion show' written on it.

We walked into the room to see that the fashion show had already started and some of the models were doing their catwalk. Ugh! We missed the first part. Rumejsa grabbed my arm and dragged me to the chairs. We quickly sat down. Luckily no one noticed we were late. I was seated next to a young teenage boy with long curly hair coloured light brown. He, along with Adam Saleh and his manager Naz who were sat next to him, were snap-chatting the models and themselves lip syncing to the songs being played. I looked straight at Rumejsa and gave a smirky laugh. She didn't realise it was Adam Saleh or Naz, I don't think so anyway. She would've freaked out if she knew so I kept quite.

After the catwalk refreshments were served. Coffee, cakes, crisps, sandwiches, pizza and even herbal tea were placed on a red table. There were so many other things too that I had never seen before.

"I'm just going to get us some pizza yeah." I informed Rumejsa.

"Get me some coffee please" she said, glancing over at the table.

I walked to the table and got two plates. I filled them both with the same things, a sandwich, a cake slice, a slice of pizza and a cupcake. Both of my hands were occupied so I left the coffee on the table.

"You're not eating all of that are you" laughed a guy stood next to me. I didn't see who he was but he had a very strong American accent.

"No, no. One of them is for my friend" I smiled.

"If you say so" he laughed again. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I'm Adam by the way." I looked at him and only noticed that it was Adam. Adam Saleh.

"I know, I've seen some of your videos. I'm Anaya."

"I know, I've seen some of your videos."
I was unsure if Adam had actually seen my videos or if he was imitating me. I just laughed.

"Did you come alone?"

"Nope, I came with my friend Rumejsa. What about you?"

"Oh cool. Harris and my manager Naz." He combed his fingers through his hair. I had only just noticed that his hair was now pink. Bright pink. How did I miss that?!

"Harris?" I had a confused look. I've never heard of him before.

"Yeah, you know Harris J.. the British one.. from London.. singer?.. curly hair dude?"

"Oh! the curly hair guy. I think I sat next to him earlier."

Adam laughed at me and then said "yeah haha. I'll introduce you to him later. I've gotta go, it was nice talking to you." He quickly went before I got a chance to say bye.

I stood there for another two minutes, looking around for Rumejsa. I couldn't see her at all. I started to walk around the room and try find her but it was hopeless, there was too many people.
