"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...
"So.. are you going home now?" "Where else would I go?" She heaved a sigh, "Where do you live exactly Leila?" Said one blonde girl with a straightened long hair having her blue sparkling eyes fixed on me, "I live nearby Michalie." I stuttered, "REALLY! I LIVE IN MICHALIE!!, do we go together?" Added Dorris excitedly, "Uhm sure," I nodded squeezing Manar into a small hug as I whispered: "text me.." in her ears before breaking away from her, she blushed against my breath silently and before she could realize it, we left.
I left feeling her scent lingering within my nose elegently, it instilled a soft exotic touch; like a sophisticated exuberant Damascus rose that comes to warm the senses.. like Jasmines echo one another in a perfect embrace.. like the quintessence of a noble floral, she exuded her delicate sensuality, tinged with fruit and sun to lend it a godly character.. She resembled an Indian Jasmine Sambac with its warm facets of incredibly sensual and enveloping orange blossom..
At that very moment, I was defying gravity to settle on a galaxy that was created only to accommodate us. For all my life, Maths taught me that: "The whole cannot be subjected to partial laws while the segment represents a partial sector of the whole. Therefore, it must SUBORDINATE. But she has always violated physics; she likened a great universe in our galaxy while I was a very small Luminary extending its roots to derive something from her eternal light..
I opened the door carefully expecting an enormous lecture, i didn't tell my mom I was gonna be late for four hours because she wouldn't have let me, "Where have you been?" Said mom calmly, "In.. in Bonsoir helping a friend with her IT-relating project.." "Helping a friend, HELPING A FRIEND WHILE YOU HAVE A 5 LESSONS EXAM TOMORROW!" "I'm sorry mom.." "You're such a pathetic waste of ability, you've been disappointing us ever since you were born!!! Can't you be responsible??? For once!!!" I could feel my heart split in two as she was gradually rising her voice "You're grounded" she threw it and disappeared.. I went back to my room trying to summon up my powers to study, sobbing while memorizing stupid poems through the night.
Manar's POV:
"Good morning beautiful, have a nice day!" How could you wake up frowning receiving a message like that! If it wasn't for Leila, I don't think i would haved survived till this day; my mom's crap has been escalating insanely, I believe she started to have doubts about my faith. Perhaps i should do something about it; I should probably consider submitting to her irritating demands about going to church; in this way I'd put an end to her scrupulosity..
"Manar, are you ready??" "What?? Ready for What! My class starts at 12, why would I be ready at 8 for heaven's sake!" "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU'RE NOT!!! MANAR BASIM! YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO DRESS UP OR YOU BASICALLY WON'T GO TO UNIVERSITY! There won't be anyone to drive you at 11 because your dad and I would be in the shop" "Mom, I'm an adult now, I can go alone.." "Are you out of your mind! Do you think I would let you! You stupid ungrateful piece of shit!" "Yeah, keep yelling.. that's what you always do." "Oh god, what did I do to deserve an owl like her!!" I can't believe they will drop me in the taxi station at 8:00am!!! why do they insist on embarrassing me in everything!! They never take what i want into consideration! I'm so done with this..

"Hey!" A message popped out on the screen suddenly, "Hey Leila," I said coldly "What's wrong Manar, I feel like you're not okay.." "Ugh.. just forget about it, I just arrived from uni and I feel like crap, my mom and I had a fight this morning and she really hurt my feelings.." "Ouch.. again?" "Yeah.." I didn't want to complain more, I don't want her to think that i'm a pathetic moaning teenager.. "Hhmmm!! I know!! How about we go out today?" "But you know mom.." "Won't let you? Yeah, but let's bring Sophie, she wouldn't mind if she comes as well" "That's genius, but as far as I'm concerned, you're not friends with her.." "True but, i believe it can make you feel better, so.. it's alright.." "I swear Leila, you're the best" "Naaah," "One more thing, can I bring Maria with me?" "Yeah.. of course" "Perfect, where?" "How about "la Biblioteca" " "Oh that library restaurant thingy, it's cool" "I know right??" "When?" "At 7:30" "Alright, so we have about 4 hours?" "Yeah.. actually, there's something I wanna tell you" "Shoot" "Manar, I feel like we grew to be really close and there's something I want you to know.." "Talk.." i said with my heart beating insanely and I don't even know why, "I feel like you should know about this, I mean it's the right thing to do.." "Leila, spill it out" "I'm gay.." I petrified breathlessly as I didn't see that coming, adding: "What..?" speechlessly, "I'm.. gay.." That was a bit of a nasty shock but I can't just show her how surprised I am, "I've always had a feeling though, but i just might ask you, how are you sure?" "I've been in love before.." "Oh, then there's no doubt.. do I know her?" "You remember Tamara?" "WAIT WHAT THE FUCK, THE IT TEACHER? BUT SHE'S AS TWICE AS YOUR AGE!" "Love knows no gender.. love knows no age.. love is love" I could feel goospumps reading her words, she's so enchanting that i'm starting to ignore her gender.. she's utterly hypnotized me.. this can't continue to happen.. "I don't know if i agree, but I want you to know that nothing has changed, and I accept you just the way you are.." "Awwww Manar, I don't know what to say.. I'm so happy to hear this.." "Anytime xx, I'll go prepare myself now alright?" "Sure, see you tonight.. " "See you!"
