Chapter  2

BEEP!!!

arggh now what, can't I have some sleep

My alarm went off and  all I could do is smack it to shut it up, I looked at the watch that I had it on the table, although it was blurry but I could tell that it was 5 o'clock.

i stood up fast, and walked into the bathroom brushed my teeth and made ablution and stood on the small prayer carpet and prayed  fajr (dawn prayers),

by the time I finished my prayers it was 5:20

hopped on my bed and grabbed my diary

which I forgot to write in it last night

 I scribbled everything that was in my mind in it,

closed the book and sighed quietly

Who ever knew that this day was coming,

Living in Egypt helped me over come a lot of fears,

my teenage years were nearly done without any problems so far.

such things as bullying and harassment didn't work nearby me

It was quite fair and no matter how nurdy you are you had

the resoect that you owned. 

I didn't had to worry now and then about what I wore or 

how people would treat me,

all i had to do was like, love and respect myself for who

I was then people would definitely appreciate you for that  

pleasing people was out of my dictionary,

like some people did they would do anything to please 

someone or grab their attention.

Wow I was talking to myself like for an hour,

it was7:20 now

so I grabbed my phone to call Maysa

ring.........

ring........ 

she's gonna answer now she always answers on the second ring,

"Jamilah, I am at the door no need for you to waste those credit"

told you!

"then what are you waiting for, come in" I laughed , that was typically Maysa,

she liked playing it safe,

a knock on my room's door startled me and opened it, Maysa came in and gave me a glare,

"What?" I asked

"You forgot our APPOINTMENT Miss Jamilah!"

YA ALLAH

I totally forgot it,I ran to my closet and grabbed pair of jeans, an abbaya and my hijab.

"I am so sorry     I thought it was this afternoon..."

"yeah yeah whatever,  now get dressed  up before we get late"

I rolled my eyes and went into the bathroom,

Came out after I had a quick shower and dressed up, looked myself into the mirror,

I was ready.

"Where are we going anyway, u didn't tell me last night

"Well I don't remember you asking me"

Ex-Squeeze me!!

"So are you gonna tell me or what.."
