"Today is Monday, and I really despise Mondays, especially today. I swiftly rose from bed and made my way to the bathroom. After a quick shower, I donned my uniform, grabbed my phone and bag, and hurried downstairs.
"Mumcy, ina kwana (good morning mumcy)," I greeted. "How was your night?" "Fine, mumcy," I replied before excusing myself to greet my dad.
"Assalamu alaikum dad," I said. "Waalaikumus salam son. Good morning," my dad responded. "How are you?" he inquired. "Alhamdulillah," I replied. After exchanging pleasantries with my dad, I inquired about Hanan's whereabouts. "I think she's still sleeping," my mum replied. A mischievous smile crept onto my face as I thought, "Perfect timing."
Before my mum could react, I dashed to the kitchen, grabbed a cup of water, and swiftly made my way upstairs. "Today is going to be my lucky day," I muttered to myself as I opened the door quietly. "Ya Alim, why are you sneaking in like that?" Hanan questioned. "Oh God, she's already getting ready," I thought. "Nothing, just checking if you were awake," I replied, trying to mask my intentions. With that, I sighed inwardly and headed downstairs, Hanan trailing behind, questioning the purpose of the cup."
"After breakfast, our driver took us to school. As I walked in, a group of girls trailed behind me as usual. I heard someone calling Hanan's name, and she quickly turned around to hug them. It was Iklas. She greeted me and then took Hanan's hand, ready to leave. Just then, Fadila called out to me from behind, saying hello to Hanan while giving Iklas a suspicious glance."

"We were in class when I remembered what happened earlier, feeling a bit angry. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. It was Sulaiman. We chatted for a bit until Hanan and Amal joined us. Our conversation drifted to random topics, except for Ifty, who seemed captivated by him. When their eyes met, they both quickly looked away, blushing. "Aww, that's great," I exclaimed. Ifty blushed even more, and we burst into laughter. Sulaiman excused himself from the conversation. "I think he likes you," Amal said to Ifty. "Yeah, I think so too," we all chimed in, laughing together."
"After the period ended and it was time for biology, ugh, I really can't stand that teacher. So, when are we going to skip biology class, I asked them. "Well, how about today?" Ifty suggested. We quickly gathered all the science students and made a plan, and to my surprise, everyone agreed. They went their way, and we sneaked out of class and headed to the school garden at the back, making sure to grab some drinks.
We were chatting and laughing when we decided to take a selfie. Suddenly, we heard someone clapping their hands. As expected, it was Fadila. She smirked and walked away. Once she was gone, we tried to run, but it was too late 😢. She returned with the principal and mostly blamed me, claiming I had threatened her not to call the principal. So, the principal took us to his office. After punishing us and giving us 4 lashes, he let Amal, Hanan, and Ifty go, but I was left with another punishment - cleaning the toilet and sweeping the school compound. I never do that kind of work at home, but there I was, exhausted from the task."
I started feeling dizzy, almost about to collapse when my besties held me up from behind. Wow, I love my besties! They all said, "Do you think we would leave you like that?" They helped me with the cleaning and sweeping. After we finished, they quickly left before the principal showed up. "Have you finished the work already?" the principal asked. "Yes, sir," I replied. "Okay, go back to your class."
As it was closing time, we walked out of the class, and Fadila stood in front of me, asking, "How was the punishment?" I replied, "I think it was cool." Then she looked at us and said, "Next time, I will double the punishment, except you, Hanan, because you are my in-law." Hanan hissed and said, "Come on, let's go. If you're done barking, you can leave." I added, "Next time, feel free to triple the punishment." Amal and Ifty looked at her and laughed, leaving her speechless.
