Sara's POV

"Allahu Akbar"

I woke up to the sound of the Adhaan going off for Fajr. I walked lazily to the bathroom to do my wudu. I stopped and looked inside Sultan's room on my way. I saw my borther sleeping soundly like a baby, so I decided now it would be the perfect time to prank him. I took his phone and texted his crush, my best friend Aisha.

Sara: "Hey, you know I had a dream about you?"

Aisha: "You creep, stop texting me."

I let out a laugh, and continued on to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw a seventeen year old Pakistani girl, with long thick hair, big eyes, tan skin, and a glowing complexion. I wasn't considered beautiful, but I wasn't ugly. Average, I guess you could call it. I quickly made wudu and prayed Fajr. When I was done, I decided to pick out my outfit for the first day of school. I decided to go with white skinny jeans, a grey v-neck with a blue cardigan, and a floral blue and green hijab. For makeup I applied eyeliner on my top and bottom waterlines, along with winged eyeliner. I also applied concealer, mascara, a tan eyeshadow on my eyelid, and a dark brown eyeshadow to my crease. To finish it off, I applied my babylips. After that, I went downstairs to eat breakfast. While eating, I got a text from Aisha.

Aisha: Your brother is so creepy!

Sara: Haha that was me!

Aisha: OMG! He is gonna kill you!

Sara: IKR, pray for me :/

I locked my phone and I went on my way to school. I was walking (the school is right outside my neigborhood) when all of a sudden something big ran into me, causing me to fall down. Trying to keep calm, I got up and brushed off my clothes. I turned around to see if the person who bumped into me was okay. He was about my age, and he looked awfully familiar. He mumbled a quick sorry and got up and continued on his way. I wondered about the boy the whole way to school.

Hassan's POV

I was in a hurry to get to school. "God" I thought, "Why did my parents have to move back to this stupid town?" Lost in my thoughts, I accidentally bumped into somebody. She turned around to ask me if I was okay, and I immediately recognized her. It was Sara Ali, a girl I used to be friends with. I didn't know if she recognized me, so I quickly told her sorry and walked off as fast as I could. "Did she go to the same school?" I asked myself. Snap out of it Hassan! I don't know why, but now I was excited to go to my school now. But the question is will she remember me? Maybe her twin brother, Sultan, might. That's good if he does remeber me, becuase that means Sara might remember me. Again, Snap out of it Hassan! I don't know why, but I couldn't stop thinking about her.
