Heyooo! How's it going??
I've finally left school. Kind of. Basically, we're on study leave so technically we're still a student at the school, except we only attend to exams and then go back home.
Anyway, it's finally Ramadhan!! Ramadhan Mubarak!
Is it just me or is Ramadhan days and nights so much better than ordinary days and nights? How have your fasts been going? I pray that Allah makes it easier for all us and gives us the strength to complete all of our fasts. Ameen ❤️
Okay, I'm going all long-winded now 😂

Don't forget to vote and comment and Enjoy!

Thank you x

With love, somethingaboutziam 💞

Harris' pov:

"A-Anaya?" My hands became sweaty and my heart just missed a beat. What is wrong with me? I haven't seen her for weeks, how can she still have this affect on me?

"Harris" was all she said.

Anaya's pov:

"Hi! Well I'm AJ and this is Yusha, we're his brothers. And you are?" AJ but-in and passed Harris some food.

"Oh erm hi. I'm Anaya. Oh and this is my little brother Fadel and my friend Salena" I answered, pointing at them whilst saying their names.

"This is awkward" Fadel interrupted, referring to Harris and I. Well no shit, Sherlock.

"Tell me about it" AJ and Fadel laughed. I can already tell, they're going to be great friends.

I looked at Harris who stared at me open-mouthed. He quickly glanced at Yusha, then AJ, then back at me. He randomly grabbed me by the arms and dragged me to where the chairs were, away from everyone else. "We need to talk" he said rapidly.

"So it speaks" I replied, sarcastically.

"What's your problem?"

"I don't really know. I mean, sometimes I.."

"It was a rhetorical question" he said in an obvious tone. "I don't get it, when we were in Dubai everything was fine but as soon as you came back to London you stopped answering my calls and texts and acted as if I didn't exist. It's not fair on me."

"I'm sorry" I wanted to say more. I wanted to say so much more but that was the only thing that managed to escape my mouth.

"Is that it? Wow!" He looked at me in disbelief. I felt bad, I honestly did.

"I'm sorry okay! What more do you want me to say? I was scared of" I quickly shut up before I said anything else. I've barely known the guy long, I can't let him in. It's too soon.

"Scared of what?" His tone instantly changed from angry to concerned.

"Nothing. The movies about to start, I gotta go."

"Anaya? Wait" Harris sighed, "remember when you had a breakdown during rehearsals and I told you that I'd always be there for you. You replied with 'that's what they all say but they all leave anyway'. Is that what this is about? Is that why you're pushing me away?"

I stared at him blankly. I had no idea what to say. Wait, how did he know that. He literally just read me like an open book.

-----

"You know his brother is actually so fun. What is his name again? AJ, that's it. The other one is so quiet. I think Salena likes him though. What were you and Harris talking about?" Fadel waffled.

"Salena likes everyone, to be honest" I laughed.

"Err rude. FYI.. I don't like Yusha even though he is insanely cute" she smiled to herself. What an idiot!

"See! She even remembers his name" Fadel scoffed. I really wouldn't be surprised if she did fancy him. After all, it is Salena.

"Seriously though, shut up. This film is kind of interesting." I said, throwing popcorn at the both of them.

Ten minutes later, Salena decided to open her mouth. Do these two ever shut up? "Anaya my phones dead, can I borrow yours?" I unlocked my phone and handed it to her.


Salena's pov:

Since it's Anaya's birthday in a few days, Auntie (Anaya's mum) decided to hold a surprise party for her. She hired a hall and invited so many of their friends and family.

Fadel, being the genius that he is, came up with a brilliant plan - take Anaya's phone and invite Harris to the party. She's going to love us so much after this. (Note the sarcasm)

"Oh my days! Fadel look at this" I showed him the hundreds of missed calls and texts that Harris sent. She hadn't replied to a single one. "I think we should allow it" I said nervously.

"No. I know my sister and I know that she really likes him. Didn't you see the way they looked at each other earlier? She just doesn't let people get too close. She's always been like that since Zaki moved but I think it's cause of Dad too. If she won't talk to Harris, we'll give her a little push. There's no harm in that, right?"

I was actually so scared. What if he didn't turn up? Or what if he did but it all went wrong? She'd never speak to me again.

Anaya:
Hey 😬

Harris😍:
So you finally decide to text me

Anaya:
yeah..

Anaya:
Listen. It's my birthday this Friday on the 2nd of June

Anaya:
I'm inviting you to my party. 8:00pm. The Gibson Hall.

Anaya:
Bring whoever you want

Harris😍:
You could've sent that in one text instead of spamming me with notifs 😑

Anaya:
lol you're welcome. So are you coming or not?

Harris😍:
I'll be there.
