It's hard to say how these things got started. God knows.
So,after a while I realized that my parents weren't getting along
That well, but you still could have knocked me over with a feather.the day my mom made the big announcement. I mean, everybody's parent fight, don't they?
She said"ya sakeni"I asked "who"
She replied" babanku"
I been mad at my dad, but mostly now I'm just depressed.my dad move out, my mom put our house up for sale just to spite him. The thing is dad wanted us to stay in the house, my mom didn't want to because, she said it reminded her of him,I'm asking you_how stupid is that? Like she'll forget him if we move into some crummy apartment.
When sheedarh,dropped me off, i walked in the door.
"Where have u been? I'm telling mom"
"Telling her what"I asked
"You're late. It's ten minute after five"
"Like she cares. Get a life"
"I'm telling, I'm telling, I'm telling" he sang I know he's my little brother and I'm supposed to love him and all, but most of the time I just want to slap him silly.
" if u tell mom I was late, I'll tell her you wet the bed last week"
That shut him up in two seconds of course. Ibrahim is nine,and he stopped wetting the him along time ago.but this whole divorce thing is getting to him too. When he wet in the bed week before, he was so upset that I actually felt sorry for him_i washed his sheets so mom wouldn't find out. Not that I wouldn't use it against him if I had to.
"And while were on the subject"I said
"You can just wash the dirty plates and see the table now,and stop sniffing"
"I'm going to tell mom you're so rude to me"
If u want to know the truth, I was late. I'm supposed to come home by four o'clock, which is a joke. I hardly ever do it. Since after dad move out, my mom bought that brilliant idea so that Ibrahim and I could"spend more time together"
Give me a break. We aren't the one's separated, and if I have to spend anymore time with Ibrahim, there's no telling what I might do.
Well,anyway, we got the table set just in time for mom(Rugairah) but we called her mom,she showed up with pizza and shawarma.obviously any comparison between my mother and Mrs adams (sheedarhs mom)
Could only depressed me.
"So did u have a nice afternoon?"mom asked over pizza
"Oh yeah. Great"I said of course she picked up on my tone right,my mom can be a real pain in the butt,but she isn't stupid.
"You know halima"she said"I wish you would try to have a better attitude about.I think it's important for you and Ibrahim to spend this time together to strengthen you're relationship."
"Mom! He's nine and I'm seventeen we don't have a relationship. You're going out of you're way to make sure I don't have one with anyone else either. By the way,have u heard from dad lately? How is he?that shut her right up. Ofcourse I can be a real pain in the butt too, I'm not stupid either.
********************
The next day at school, sheedarh wouldn't give it a rest. She been telling me about the new guy she met.who's leaving in the same street wit sheedarh. She talked non stop about BUKAR aka KAR.how amazing and handsome as he is.We were standing near her car, when she bought it all again.
"Why don't you come home with me? I really want u to meet him"
I pointed my wrist watch, it was already four O'Clock.
"Just for a few minute"sheedarh insited "he nice, and his my new friend" she giggled
She looked at me with those big brown eyes "please"
It's pathetic the way she can get me do whatever she wants.
"Okay but for just a minute"
Sheedarh drove so fast all the way to her house.
You've probably guessed that I was hopping to see sheed again,but we didn't even see Mrs Adams_we rushed straight up to sheedarhs room.
Sheedarh, pop her cellphone out of her bag and dail "kar" number, he ask us to meet downstairs. Then suddenly sheedarhs mom called her.
I was standing in their parlor when I heard a whisper in my ear and I mean right at my ear_more like inside my head."Hi"
"Whoa"I said spining around as fast as I could. Some guy I'd Never seen before had walked into sheedarhs leaving room, and
Coming up right behind me. I don't if I've ever seen anyone so cute. Even sheed dimmed in comparison. I figure he must be 19 ,and he has the most piercing blue eyes I've ever seen.
"U scared the stuff out of me" I complained.
"Sorry"he smilled oh he was so cute. I tried to pull myself together enough to filirt with him.
"So"I said"who are you? I never seen you around here before "You're a friend of sheedarh"
"Of course "he said"am Bukar"
"Oh so ur bukar, am halima,sheedarh best friend.
"Nice to meet you halima"he said smilling at me again,oh he's so cute, he gave me a serious goombs bumps. and then, sheedarh appeared"oh u already meet"
"Yes"we said.Thank u for reading this chapter, but we got a little problem, u guys promised to support me right. But why? No views, no comments and votes. If u turely will.let me be assure of ur promises please
