Hearing the hustling and bustling of people and cars in the school campus gave it away that its was the last day of school, and all the students of university  where  either hurrying out of the school campus or into the hostel to pack their bags, so they could leave for their various destination so was Ameena .

Dressed in a white skinny jeans and  a white top with a kimono on it  and a scarf wrapped around her head on a stiletto carrying two boxes down the stairs of the girls hostel as she dropped the luggage and hurried back for more after three trips backs she was already exhausted and judging by the sweats that was on her face  shows that she was eager for this to end .
She was on the last stair with the last set of boxes when she tripped and almost fell  when a pair of hands grabbed her from falling on the floor .

He quickly removed his hands from her body, and stood up to his full height that was six foot  then cleared his voice.

She looked up to see Amir the guy she had a crush on since year one and wish the ground would open up and save her from this embarrassing situation.

"are you really sure you are dressed for this, judging by the high hills you are putting on" he said with a grin visible on his  face.

"thanks  it's just that I wanted to leave the school early, so i can reach home before its get dark" I replied with a smile on my face.

I turned to pick up my boxes so that I  can put it in the cars that where waiting outside the gate cause cars are not allowed inside the girls hostel, likewise the guys but today was an exception .

The semester was over, so was i, i was through with school after spending five good years in schools thanks to( assu for extending my four years course to five by their incessant strikes).

Clearing of throat brought me out of trance , I have totally forgotten about Amir for a second ,haa who does that, i mentally face palmed myself i mean who forget their crush after getting him to talk to you for the first time you have to do something to prolong this conversation, think!think! ....
Thanks for that..... i have to go I said so lame meena do something, maybe its to late as I reached the gate about to open it when i heard his husky voice calling my name wow!!  He knows my name I turned back to look at him when he asked me whether he could help and I gladly accepted so I waited for him so we could go to where the car was packed and put the luggage in the trunk on our way back he asked whether this was how I pack every semester but I then replied that I was through with my studies .

Thanks for giving me a helping hand, I would have still be battling with the luggage I said lowering my gaze or else he would have seen me blushing .

U are welcome, I would like to ask you a question if you won't mind he said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

OK, I answered it came out  faintly and i was surprised he heard that because it didn't come out confidently like i  intended it to be.

I would like us to be friends your way and attitude was what drew me to you,  so I decided to  study you for a while and Masha Allah, I would really like us to get to know each other he said

I was shocked and was loss of words to say, so I did the very next thing that was closed to saying yes by giving him my million dollar smile.

He seems as if he was holding his breath because i  could see him exhale and the next thing he said was Alhamdulilah (Glory be to Allah).

We bade each other Goodbye after exchanging our contacts and we left the school campus each in our respective cars,   I was so tired due to my final exams, it was indeed very stressful  I prayed to come out with flying colours because even our last semester's was being withheld due to many people failing so the department promised to send it to our individual mail next month.

Madam how school ? Chinedu asked bringing me out of reverie
school was fine I answered as I stifled a yawn,
Make i no disturb you he said with is usual pidign English.

With that, the journey continued smoothly and I didn't know when I dozed off until I heard the horn blaring in front of the gate that housed the mansion that was my home as we drove inside you could see the house in its full glory with  a fountain that contain a stone figure of a woman in a Roman dress bearing a pitcher on her shoulder, water poured from the pitcher in a steady stream into a shell shaped fountain.

As I descended from the car and walked towards the oak door, just as I was about to ring the bell ,the door was thrown open by a middle age Arabian woman with an oval face and dreamy brown eyes and I can see her long black hair peeking out from the scarf she tied losely around her head with a smile on her face as I quickly threw my arms around her hugging her tightly until I heard begging me not to suffocate her, then I released her as we both went into the living room that was beautifully decorated with expensive furniture and  chandelier that was the centerpiece and you just can't get over it's sheer beauty.

So tell me about school she asked eagerly,
Mom can't you see that am so tired i pleaded with her and she gave up and told me to go to my room and freshen up, so i went into my room and kept my Gucci bag on my  bed and went straight to my bathroom that was all designed with marble and was sparkling thanks to our maids that does a thorough cleaning because my mother informed them that I was coming home, so I climbed into the bathtub and I added shower gel  and soaked my aching muscles in the bubbles until the water turned lukewarm and I rinsed my body with water before putting my robe on and went to my closet and put on a simple gown and laid on my bed with my i phone 7+ and went on Instagram then i saw a friend request from ameer and I accepted and went through his pictures and saw  pictures of him as I was scrolling I noticed a picture of him and a pretty Lady , and immediately I was consumed with jealously before I quickly  turned my phone off not to welcome unwanted thoughts its not as if we where officially dating i said to my self and decided to go down to have dinner since I skipped lunch because I wanted to eat my mum's cooking.
