"Where is my camera and permanent marker when you need it?! Find it, but don't you dare make a noise! This moment is too precious." I whispered-yelled while smirking to Hala and Amar, making sure not to wake up the two idiots in front of me.
"Don't you think the permanent marker is a bit too much, asal? (it means 'honey' in Arabic) It's kind of... you know... permanent." amto Buthaina tried to make me drop my idea for the tenth time already. Ha, like that would ever happen. How can I loose an occasion like this?
"It's not permanent on human skin, it removes itself..." I said loud enough so everybody around me, which basically means the whole house, could hear it "... in a week if they are lucky." but I murmured this part, yet everyone started chuckling... Ohhh...Oh shit, they heard me!
Abort mission! Abort mission! Don't you hear me?! Abort missinon!
Damn, no! Just wait for it...
On the bed next to mine, my brother was sleeping peacefully with his head on the pillow, while Nur was sleeping with his feet under Sammer's nose and my sibling was doing the same thing to Nur. When breathing the stinky air -and believe me is so stinky it could kill a horse- they wrinkle their noses but they didn't even move or turn! They are sleeping with each other's feet to the other's nose! How can that not be amusing? Oh, don't give me that look! Imagine it! Plus the things I'm going to draw on their faces... perfect for taking a photo and showing it to the whole population of Jordan. Yes, I am cruel, deal with it.
You are 17 for God sake! Stop it!
But it's funny!
But it's childish!
I ain't the only one doing it! Tell it to the others. Maybe they care.
I am your conscience, imbecile, I can't talk to them!
Ok. Then, shut up!
We finish my plan, clearly putting everyone in a good mood for the rest of the day. After that, we left the bed room quietly, making our way to the living room. Guess what was everybody talking about now? I don't know, I don't care. You ask them. All I see is that one book on the table that seems to have a golden, angelic aura that lures me in like a mermaid's song. It is calling me! No, it is screaming my name! And not in that way you dirty minded people!
Just like a moth drawn to a flame, oh, you lured me in-
You realize that you are serenading to a book, don't you?
Eh, I do that all the time. What's new under the sun?
I don't know, maybe that bit when you realize that you are a bigger dimwit than any other existent one?
Ignoring her, I took one of my many books I brought from home -I swear, my suitcase is three quarters full of my babies- and sat cuddled with a blanket on the armchair near the open window, ignoring every living thing that made noise next to me. Perfect. Every bit, just perfect!
I was reading peacefully, feeling the light breeze on my face, then... BAM! My out-of-this-world relaxing moment was shattered into tiny little pieces. Huh, it matches the way the person's soul who dared interrupt me is going to look like in the next few moment.
"Faaaate, I'm hungryyyyy!" whining like a two year old in my ear, Aamar jumped on me, taking me by my PJ's collar and shaking me like a salt shaker. Oh, for the love of all chicken nuggets existent, is he dumb or is he dumb?
I think he is dumb.
Yeah, me too.
"So go make some food." Shrugging, I kicked him off, took my book from where it fell and continued my reading like nothing happened, even though I was fuming on the inside. Looking offended, the Donkey put a hand on his heart and with a look of pure exasperation said:
YOU ARE READING
Damn, They're crazy!
Comédie"Let's go and celebrate Ramadan in Jordan!" my dad said out of blue, full of excitement. Oh, God, putting all wild animals posible and imposible in their natural habitat at the same time? It may be one of the stupidest ideas of the century. It ain't...
