"Bilaaaaal" shouted his mom, "Get up its already 5:30, you missed your bus."

Bilal woke up saw his clock, "Shit it's 5:30 I missed my bus. I'll need to take a taxi." He jumped off his bed, rushed to bathroom, got freshed. This was his 3rd time in a row getting up late to school.

"Take your lunch Bilal" told his mom.

"I'll grab something from the canteen mom" replied Bilal.

He rushed out of his house, took a taxi and went to the school. It was 6:15 when he reached. He cursed the traffic for making him late. He entered his school and his class teacher asked him questions sarcastically,

"Today what happened? What reason you have today?"

He stood silent there.

"Go and take your seat."

The school ended, he and his friends would gather in the playground and speak for sometime. "Bilal how was the test bro?" asked Saad his best friend.

"It was average bro, although I could not attend some of the questions! What about you? How was yours?"

"It was nice, I just needed 5 more minutes then I could have finished the test."

"Lets hope for the best. Ok I have to go bro, I'll miss my bus then."

"Ok bye Allah Hafiz" They parted their ways to their buses.

"As salamu alaikum" he entered his home.

"Wa alaikumusalam" replied his mom. "How was your test?"

"It was ok, not easy and not that difficult." He went to his room, got freshed, had his lunch. He opened his Instagram account, read his messages, and saw a reply from Sarah "Hey Bilal" and to his luck she was online at the moment. He quickly replied "How are you?" he was nervous, his heartbeat was fast. She replied "I am fine, Alhamdullilah. What about you?"

"I am fine too." They began chatting. They spoke continously for 2 to 2.5 hours and not realizing that he had to go for his chemistry tuition. They started to know each other, became good friends.

Bilal randomly just took a look at his clock and it was 3:30PM, "Oh lord, I have tuition at 4. What's wrong with me today" he said smiling.

"Ok Sarah, it was nice chatting with you. I have a tuition now, I'll speak with you after sometime."

Sarah replied "Ok then see ya soon. Bye take care."

As he closed his phone and was getting ready for his tuition, there was a call from his friend Taha, he received it "Where are you man? The tuition is about to start."

Bilal, Saad and Taha were in the same tuition and same batch.

"Coming coming, on my way." replied Bilal in a typical way.

He left home and reached tuition. The tuition had already started. He sat on his place, he was present there physically but not mentally. He was thinking of Sarah. Their long chats made him so happy that he started smiling, his tuition teacher noticed it and asked him "what's wrong Bilal" but Bilal didn't listen, he was lost in the thoughts of Sarah. When Saad hit him saying "Bilaaal" he was back to his senses. His teacher asked him "where are you lost?" he replied "nowhere maam, I was thinking about..." he paused "Nothing maam. I was thinking about chemistry related stuff." He smiled weirdly as he didn't knew what he meant by saying that.

After reaching home, he had his dinner. Went to his room, took his mobile, opened Sarah's chat and messaged her "Hello!" but she wasn't online and he started studying. As soon as he opened his book, Sarah came online and replied to his message. He saw the message and became happy, but he was confused now, whether to study or chat. He then decided he will chat for 15 minutes and continue studying. But then his chatting continued for 1 hour. And then both of them were sleepy and decided they will talk the next day.

"Huh! No study today" He said laughing at himself. He then packed his bag and slept. Hoping to get up early next morning. He was thankful that he didn't have any test the next day. And he dozed off.
