It's been a week since Alisa has been on that date with Rasheed. But she never really mentioned what's going on b/w them. When ever I bring them up, it's like she wants to change the subject and I'm not sure why.

Anyways, it's none of my business and I shouldn't stick my nose in everything.

I'm now out with my mom, grocery shopping. My legs are hurting from how much I walked. My mom just won't get enough from anything, she has to bring every single object she has a coupon for.

"Reema, go to the fridge section and get me two boxes of eggs. I have a coupon buy one get the other half price." She said, grabbing five cereal boxes and placing them in the cart.

"Mom, seriously?? U bought enough stuff." I rolled my eyes and yawned.

"Waly(you), enkhersy(shut up) and go get the eggs." I rolled my eyes and walked away towards the eggs, huffing frustratingly.

After I grabbed the eggs, I walked back to where my mom was, but I couldn't find her any where.

GREAT! Now I have to search the whole store for her. I walked everywhere But I couldn't find her.

I finally spotted a women with a head scarf by the cashier. I shook my head and walked there sighting frustratingly.

"What do u mean the coupon isn't working? U guys just sent it to me yesterday on email. And if it doesn't work why are u guys sending it to people. You think people like us our stupid?." I heard my mom argue with the cashier.

"Mom? What the hell is going on?" I asked, embarrassingly.

"The mes3ada( a way for calling a lady in different situations.) is saying the coupon isn't working." She places a hand on her hip while she glares at the lady.

"Mame, I'm so sorry but it's not working in the system." She apologized, motioning towards the computer.

"I don't care u guys are going to make it work!" Mom snaps which brings everyones attention from around the store towards us.

"Mom, what the hell its just a coupon come down.." I whispered threw gritted teeth.

"No it's not just a coupon. This coupon is sent off of email. Email is used by internet. Internet bill is expensive. I pay the internet bill to get coupons and she says it doesn't work??!"

"Mom! Tawly rohek( come down)!" I snapped.

"No I'm not going to I wanna talk to the manager." My mom orders, crossing her arms above her chest.

"But mame I-"

"I wanna talk to the manager!" My mom shrugs signaling for no more excuses.

The cashier took out her walky-talky and called what seemed the manager. I placed my face in my hands and stayed like that for a couple of minutes.

"Yes mame is there a problem?" I quickly recognized that voice and my head snapped up quickly.

Our eyes met and he looked surprised to see me as I was surprised to see him. No! No god kill me!!! This is so embarrassing!

"R-Rasheed??" I whispered to my self...
