People are so unbelievable, what was he trying to do right now? It's so unfortunate that we claim to be Muslims but we don't practice the religion the way we supposed to, I mean I'm no saint but I've got conscience, times I want to do bad stuffs forgetting that nothing hides from God's eye, my conscience would haunt me. I'm not so proud of the Muslim I am but I can list some stuffs I haven't done and I'm proud, I know I look like a bad bitch but I'm completely not that bad, I'm supposed to be completely shy to prove my innocence but if you've known me enough, you'd notice I don't maintain eye contacts with the opposite gender even with same gender neither is my head ever held high while I walk, my gaze is always down and every now and then I'd look up for a second and return my gaze down, I don't remember ever speaking loud while outside.

I hate attention, reasons why I've always wished to be little, I don't want to be noticed. At least it's my definition of shyness, did I get that comfortable around them that I'm not longer that shy. Thinking about this right now, my insecurities is also a reason for my shyness. It's no one's fault really, I mean I don't even know these people and I'm already spending a night at their place all in the name of best friend's sake. I should get home already, I was raised better than this.

After I freshened up, I packed my bags and was ready to leave. I was going to sneak out real quick and they wouldn't notice, I was planning on changing my phone so they'd never contact me again. I figured they'd all be in the living room by now and there's only one way out

"The window" I thought, I only hope my fat self would be able to go through it. I threw my bag first and I had a crack like something broke, oww that had better not be my phone I was gonna change it anyways, I shrugged.

I heard faint footsteps towards the door and I know I had to jump even tho I've been trying to convince my mind that the window isn't that high from the ground and so I did and fell on my back which hurts and I was about to scream when I heard Beelarh's voice so I had to keep shut

"Salima? I've been calling this girl forever, I wonder where she is... Ohh she might be at Kabeer's" she said walking away, I heard the door shut and I was sure she was gone, I stood immediately and rubbed my back

"Ouch" I said silently, I picked my bag and was tip toeing to the gate. I was just few steps away when I sighted the dog, thankfully it was asleep but then my phone began to ring, not taking my eyes away from the dog, I searched my bag thoroughly and tried muting it, on my phone screen I saw it was Beelarh and I switched it off afterwards.

The dog was still asleep and as soon as I reached for the gate I heard the dog bark and I turned slowly facing it, I was literally shaking and it kept barking which I'm pretty sure if I understand dog language it was saying
"Where do you think you're going?", I'd pretend I'm having a conversation with so it'd let me go

"Hey there Mr dog!" I said smiling, woof woof it barked angrily

"Or is it a Miss? I'm sorry, I just want to get something down the road, if you'd let me" I said and it was calm. "See that wasn't that difficult now, was it?" I thought to myself, as I was just about leaving I heard it bark this time more fiercely

"Please tell me that dog is chained" I thought and it was running towards me, "RUN" I screamed and started running, it kept chasing me and I stubbed my toe and fell
"Please..don't bite me" I'm more crazier than the dog, talking to a dog. It was so close to my face that I could feel it's breathing

I had the courage to look up and I saw why it was chasing me, I had fallen my phone and it was only trying to bring it back, ohh I took it from it's mouth and it was all slimy, "Eww" I mouthed. "Thanks a lot miss doggy", woof it barked sadly
"What? You don't like the name?" And it was just looking at me, yeah I know I seem crazy right now

"I'd call you Ruff ruff, do you like it?" I asked the dog and it barked happily and wagged it's tail

"Okay ruff ruff I'd be on my way now, thanks for your time" woof it replied, or so I thought and it went back to it's resting place, dogs aren't that bad I thought. I walked quickly and was just about leaving

"Salima? There she is. I've been looking for you, didn't you see my call?" I heard Beelarh asked

"Oh hey! No I didn't" I faked a smile

"Oh okay, where are you going then?" She asked

"Just wanted buying a sanitary pad down the road" I said

"You should have asked, I have tons of it, come on let me get you some" she offered

"And I wanted buying airtime too" I lied

"Let the gatekeeper get it for you" she said

"No...I mean yes thank you but no I want to shake off some pounds" I said

"With your bag?" She asked confused and I know I was busted
