Iklas' POV
I woke up early today because we were having assembly at 7:30 am, and I didn't want to miss it because it's very important. I quickly showered, put on my uniform, grabbed my bag, and headed downstairs.
"Umma, ina kwana (good morning mom)," I greeted. "Lafiya (fine)," she replied. "Come and eat your breakfast," my mom said. After breakfast, Mus'ab said he would come and pick me up after school. I hugged him quickly and said, "Daman, I'm tired of this driver, he is so boring." "It's just for today," my brother reassured me. "It's already 7:10 am, lemme get going," I said as I quickly kissed their cheeks and bid them goodbye.
During the assembly, the principal said all the prefects should come and give a speech. He called the head boy and assistant head boy, Alameen Abdullahh and Ibrahim Musa, the head girl and assistant, Fadila Abdulrahmam and Aisha Ilyas, and the remaining prefects. "So, this is Fadila?" I asked Hanan. "Yes, she is," Hanan confirmed. After their small speeches, we sang our national anthem and headed to our classes.
As we were about to enter our class, someone called Hanan's name, so we turned around. Gosh, it was Fadila! "So, Hanan, how are you?" Fadila asked. "Fine," said Hanan. "I think this one is a newcomer, right?" Fadila said, pointing her hands at me. "Yes," Hanan confirmed. "OK," she turned around and faced me, saying, "I know that you don't know me, so I will introduce myself! I'm the most popular girl in this school. I don't tolerate nonsense. When I say something is mine, nobody touches it. So, don't you dare talk or fall in love with Alameen Abdullahh because he is my boyfriend. If you dare fall for him, you will regret coming to this school and even hate yourself," she said in a serious tone.
I couldn't help but start laughing, and my friends joined in 😂. Fadila was just looking at us one by one. "Is it funny?" Fadila asked. I looked at Fadila and said, "Why would I hate myself? Myself loves me, and I love myself. And you said you are the most popular girl in this school. I thought you were going to say the most popular girl in the world. Since it's not the world, you are nothing to me," I added. She just gave me a deadly glare and said, "You are going to pay for it since I'm the head girl of this school," and then she left us as we entered the class.
"Iklas' POV:
The chemistry teacher entered our class, and we promptly stood up to greet him. As he reciprocated the greeting, he began explaining how acids react with bases. Lost in thought about Alameen and his captivating speech at the assembly, I was distracted until Hanan nudged me, whispering that the teacher was calling my name. "Yes, sir?" I responded nervously. The teacher inquired about the reaction between acids and metals, leaving me momentarily stumped. Thankfully, the teacher kindly explained the concept once more before instructing me to take my seat."
During break time, I heard someone calling my name from behind. When I turned around, I saw a boy, around 15 or 16 years old, introducing himself as Sulaiman. He mentioned he was in the art class, which explained why I hadn't seen him before. Sulaiman expressed his desire to be friends, and I agreed. We exchanged numbers, and as we made our way to the cafeteria,ifty mentioned that Sulaiman was her crush since junior secondary school. Without hesitation, I shared his number with her.
