We made our way home just on time, emptied our bags and dived in the sofa, the TV was switched on already and was at a news channel but we were both lazy to get the remote so we were stuck on the channel which was boring but we had no choice. After several yawns and wasted time on boredom, we engaged in chitchats and it was time she narrated the whole story which has been a thorn on my thoughts and has to be removed

"My dad is the Emir of Kano and yes our family is large, I didn't lie about our names and yes we're all siblings, I have a lot of half brothers and sisters. Our parents think we're too dependent, so we were sent here to learn to be on our own for some months I think...umm I think that's all you need to know but if you have any question or questions, you could ask" she narrated and I wasn't moved
"What? Did I sound that boring?" She asked

"Nop! Thought you said it could fill a novel" I replied

"Duhh the word summary still exists" she said and I mouthed ohh, I swear I could be a complete dummy sometimes. Speaking of dummies Kabeer is always ahead, ohh leedarh, that's right leedarh

"How about Leedarh?" I asked

"What about her?"

"I dunno she said something about her and Kabeer" I said looking everywhere but her

"Oh I see! How interesting? Why do you care? You like him?" She asked smirking

"God! No, why would I like him?" I asked rhetorically

"Okay then, I'd only tell you about them if you admit the fact"

"What fact?" I asked

"That you like him" she said and I rolled my eyes

"Maybe just a little"

"Girl say it like you mean it"

"Yassss I like him, like a whole lot. I dunno what I'd do without him. Each time I hear a girl's name slip his mouth, it's like an invisible dagger shot right through my heart, I might start a war for him, I likey likey him so m...."

"Enough of the exaggeration already, damn! You just sounded like you're his fan girl, eww I mean who would possibly even be his fan with his face looking like that"

"Who's that?" Kabeer asked, only Allah knows when he walked in and it felt like the butterflies in my belly were having a fight.

I know it came out all weird about the lovey stuff but I've actually always liked him, I mean he's funny, dumb and handsome. I just didn't want it to be obvious, I mean look at him, he's out of my league and just discovering he's royalty capped everything up, you should see Leedarh too, she's bomb. I'm no match with her, I was about leaving for Beelarh's room when he interrupted my thoughts

"Hey Salima! I haven't seen you for a while, I was thinking you left already but I know you aren't that crazy like this chicken here right?" He asked. Oh my God! Why does he have to say my name like that? Now my heart's melting, he should say my name more often. What's wrong with me? I am even more crazy than he can ever imagine, I have to put myself together and act like I don't care

"Yeah right" I replied not looking at him

"What? You think I'm a chicken too?" Beelarh asked angrily

"Noo...come on....you aren't a chicken, I didn't hear that part....of the speech" I replied making Beelarh smirk because she knows what's up with my stammering

"Well imma just hit the shower and perform my prayers" Beelarh said leaving, I tried following her but his eyes wouldn't leave my face and I don't trust my legs enough because I know I'd fall if I tried leaving
