Good reflection✔️

I still couldn't believe it, the new guy which turned out to be named Rasheed, is Arab? That shocked me completely. But if he's Arab, why does he make out with girls and why last time the day he humiliated me, Stacey was like thanks for last night?....

Ew, ew, ew!! I don't even wanna know what was going on between those two. Karaf (disgusting).

I got home and changed into my pajamas. I ran down the stairs and sat quickly on the table excited to eat the food my mom made.

We all were eating in silence, while I'm just smiling like a freak to my self every time I remember Rasheed today.

"Why are u smiling?" My dad asked. Shit! I forgot my parents were in front of me.

"Umm, nothing!" I shook my head nervously.

"I hope your not falling in love," my dad shook his head stuffing a spoon full of food in his mouth.

"Bft! Love? Ya not for me.." I shook my head trying my best to act like a good actress.

"Do u see still see that guy in school?" My dad asked looking back and forth between me and his plate.

"Well ya...sort of." I lied.

"Don't talk to him a lot and if I figure out u have his number, I'm going to lock u in the hemam(bathroom) for a whole month." He said. DAMN!

"Why would I talk to him Anyways, he's like so annoying." I lie dramatically.

My dad wiped his mouth and stood up from his seat. "Good lie," he shook his head and walked towards the living room. "Make me coffee!" He shouted.

Ugh! How did he find out?! I though I was acting good! I really need to take tips from Alisa. What a failure...

A week later

It's almost the end of the first semester and my grades suck! I really need to get some make up work, if I don't wanna end up with a 0.1 GPA.

It been a week since me and Rasheed really talked. He's always with His friends and I always had that feeling that he doesn't wanna be seen with me, or even seen talking to me.

Well, what am I supposed to say? It's his life and I don't really blame him. I'm embarrassing. You should hear my laugh, lol.

"I'm auditioning for this play that's going to be next month." Alisa said taking a bite of her sandwich.

"Really that's great!" I squealed very proud of my bestie.

"They're looking for other actresses, would u like to try out for it?" She asked placing her sandwich down and finally making eye contact with me.

"Me, acting? Bft! Funny Alisa." I chuckled shaking my head.

"What? have u even ever tried to act?" She asked.

"Ya! Like everyday! Trying to lie to my dad about stuff! And sadly he never believes me!" I said sarcastically, which earned a frown from Alisa.

"You know why, because you never think about what's coming. As an actor, u have to keep thinking about the possibilities that could happen, so when u fall in that situation, u wouldn't be nervous or unprepared to face it. Because, you'll know what your supposed to do in that moment." Alisa said confidently.

"And how is that supposed to help?" I cocked my head to the side, wearing my Miranda sings face. I love impersonating...

"Ugh! Reema. You seriously do need a brain." Alisa rolled her eyes, and shook her head disapprovingly.

At that moment I got a text from my mom.

Mama: why the hell is your room not cleaned?

"Ugh! I knew she was going to say that!" I slammed my hand on our table which made Alisa flench.

"what's wrong?" She asked.

" I forgot to clean my room and my mom texted me. I had a feeling she was gonna get pissed!" I rubbed my temples frustratingly.

"See! U just been through it!" She squealed confidently.

"Huh?"

"U didn't clean your room and u knew how to face your mom in that situation. Because, u were thinking the whole time about how your going to face her."

"And?"

"You know what to say, right?" She asked.

"Ya I'm going to lie and say that I had an early meeting at school and I woke up late." I shrugged.

"That's it! Because u though about the situation and knew this was going to happen. U allowed your brain to have time to think and process what it's supposed to say." She smiled.

"Oh okay!" The light bulb in my head finally flashed and I understood what she meant.

"Damn Alisa, your more smarter then I though!" I squealed smiling, that I finally understood something.

"No problem honey!" She flattered her eye lashes.

"Ugh! She's going to show off now, I take what ever I said back." I joke and she narrows her eyes.

"Sharmoota!(bitch)" she said flipping her hair.

"Hey I didn't teach u that!" I said placing my hand on my hip.

"Who said u did," she smiled bitting her lip.

"Than who did?" I asked.

"Ummm,"

"Tell me!"

"Rasheed the new guy." She blushed.

"Umm, how???" I asked. She never mentioned talking to him...

"Me and him are kinda a thing now,"

Huuuuuuh????WHAT!!!!!!!!
