"Nighttime had always been the time when the demons residing within me came out to play. But, that day was different, that day my angels decided to shield me from the darkness, pain and agony. My heart didn't throb; my soul became a bird in the sky...
Woah! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA SEE HER TOMORROW! I have butterflies in my stomach already!! I feel like i'm gonna mess up real bad this time. I sighed deeply, damn it's 12:00am! I should go to bed or else I'll have to receive a big ass lecture from mom, recently she's been obsessive about this tawjihi shit, it's really getting on my nerves! She's even buying all kinds of nuts thinking that they will improve my mental skills and raise my concentration abilities.
" you should be accustomed to sleeping early Leila." " please don't go into that tawjihi record right now, I'm having a headache already.." "Leila, your dad and I have given you everything we've got; we've let you travel, participate in every single competition you wanted, we never get involved in your business, nothing at all! Including your grades, personal life! And the way you dress up despite the fact that we live in a conservative society where most of your body must be covered! we even accepted your homosexuality or whatever, I'm never gonna be happy about it, yet I'm so tolerant with this abnormality; if anyone around us discovers their kid is gay, they will..." "Execute them immediately, or kick them out of the house. Yeah i know, you say that whenever you ask me to do anything for you.." "It's not for me after all, it's for your future.. besides, it wouldn't hurt if you gave us a little bit of happiness and honor.. that's why you should.." "Try my best, I know.. will you please let me sleep now?" "Alright sweetheart, goodnight." "Night, shut down the light and don't forget to close the door." "Right."
It's 2:00am and I just can't I sleep.. what is wrong with you Leila! You checked her profile yesterday! She sounds straighter than fuck! Don't make a fool out of yourself.. plus tawjihi is about to start in 3 days, you really should try your best right now, you don't want to piss the whole family off. Damn, even my younger sister doesn't stop bumbling about tawjihi, I better sleep for real, mom will be waking me up at 7:00am anyways.
"Leila, wake up! It's 7:00am you lazy careless young lady." "Alright.. Alright.. five more minutes.." "JUST WAKE UP RIGHT NOW" she pulled away the blanket and opened the windows. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ENJOY THOSE TWO DAYS BEFORE BEING OFFICIALLY SIGNED UP FOR HELL." "LEILA GHASSAN KALED WAKE UP RIGHT NOW OR I WILL TURN YOUR LIFE INTO HELL." "okay okay woman, chill!"
Damn I can barely open my eyes.. ugh moms.. annoying as fuck. I moved my groggy body to the sink, brushed my teeth, washed my face then went back to my room. So.. let's see.. what am I gonna do today? WAIT A MINUTE! I'M GOING TO MEET MANAR BASIM TODAY! Oh but that's at 6:00pm, I still have 11 hours till that. I think reading one of Harry Potter's books will do, particularly "Harry Potter and the half blood" it's my favorite in HP's series. Well, I have a huge thirst for reading, last year the outcome was 173 books; it feels like I'm flying in my own world.. I love historical books rather than novels, there's always something new to learn. Or probably I can start painting something new, mom makes me paint things to decorate the house, to be honest, she's the only person who's allowed to possess any of my paintings; despite the fact that I've reached professionalism because of practicing for 12 years, I have some sort of reservation about showing my paintings to anyone.. I Remember dedicating one specific painting to my IT teacher when I had feelings for her two years ago and regretting it till this day! I forced myself to get over her, especially because she's straight..
OH MY GOD! IT'S 5:00AM, WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR! OH NO! I STINK, I NEED TO TAKE A SHOWER, FUCK ME.. I ALWAYS LEAVE MYSELF TO THE LAST MOMENT, AND I THOUGHT I ONLY PROCRASTINATE IN STUDIES! "Just chill drama queen." My sister said sarcastically. "Shut up Raylie, this is important for me.." "Oh so it's a date?" "Oh no no no no.. Just a friend" "Yeah Right," she's allowed a giggle.. "Hey Raylie, can I borrow your new black shirt, I think it would look amazing with my ripped widish pants" "YAASSS, WEAR YOUR BLACK SHOES AND PUT ON SHARON'S WHITE NECKLACE!!" Sharon is one of my closest friends, "Right, and my hair?" "Just leave it loose, and wear some make up." "Oh no.. I hate make up, never!" "Just a little bit!" "No forget it!" I had a fast shower, left my silky black hair fall on the sides of my neck, put a little mascara on, and left the house precipitately.
"Hey, I'm Manar.. how are you?" She said delightfully. "Hey, I'm Leila, great! You?" I stuttered in the presence of those wide black eyes focused on me, for god' s sake.. I should stop glaring.. she was a brunette girl with a curly crazy hair and a bronze skin.. her lips were very idealistic making me struggle with my breath and swallow nervously.. for the sake of truth, she has a very perfect body as well.. "Uh.. great, so did you bring Quran with you?" "Uhm, yeah.. shall we start?" "Oh yes please.." "Let's order something first, what do you prefer?" "SNICKERS ICE CREAM DEFINITELY" "Hhhh, Alright,, one snickers ice cream and a beer please." We spent the next two hours talking about Islamic history and beliefs, including "رقيب و عتيد" the two angels that write down a person's sins and good deeds, and many other issues she was interested to know about.. "That's so damn interesting! Can't wait to know more about it! Thank you so much Leila, this means a lot to me!" "No need, I'm just glad you had a good time today.." "Shall we leave?" "Ahh yes, let's go" "One second, just let me pay" "Well, I already did that.. let's go" "NO WAY, WHEN!" "When i went to the bathroom" "But.. YOU can't.. I don't like this" "Oh Just shut up! Let's go" she shook her head, released an enchanting laugh and I could literally feel my heart race as she continued to smile, then we left the café.. "So we're are we going now?" "Home?" "Alright, where's your house exactly?" "Oh no no, imma walk to my mom's shop, it's near" "Alright I'll walk with you" "Oh there's no need, I can manage" "Don't worry, it's alright" we're now half way through and I glanced the roof of the bank that's viewing the whole city. "But where the heck are you taking me?" "You'll see" "Woah!! This view is breathtaking, how did you discover this place!! And the lights! I feel like I'm in a different city I swear" "Well, I like to wander around" I giggled in a very sure tone. "Impressive" she said. Just then, I played one of my favorite songs ever "the last goodbye" although it's a movie song, it's definitely number one on my playlist. "What's the song name" she said "The last goodbye" I answered, and we spent the next 30 minutes in a complete silence , until she broke it saying: "normally I hate silence, but this one is just.." "Comfortable.." I said "Yeah.. they say, silence in the presence of beauty is beauty" "I totally agree" I said "Yeah.. this view is the most beautiful thing i have seen so far.." "Yeah.." but the only beauty I meant was her.. "Let's leave" she said after receiving a call from her mom "Okay.."
Guuuysss, that's Raylie, Leila's sister..
