She didn't ask for money or wealth or even a well known position!
She asked for a family who cares for her, appreciates her hard work and loves her.
He didn't ask for anything except revenge from his past and he didn't find anyone to act the role...

||Chapter Two|| Seize the Opportunity
It is so strange to feel so many mixed vibes. All come at once and fills her mind. It is just more than loads still up at her shoulder and will never go off. She is just sure that the only feeling she knows is lost. She is so bewildered that she feels so embarrassed about what her teacher has said about her. She feels guilty about what she has done recently. She feels unthankful that she doesn't thank that new girl for standing up for her. She thinks that the right time isn't now. Later it will be better, who knows?
Maybe she would befriend her. She closes her eyes desperately about what she thought a moment ago. Who would like to befriend a lonely, hated and disappointed girl? Are they going to leave all those students and try for a once to set up a conversation or at least ask her about something? She knows that no one would do it. She doesn't care about what her teacher says about her at that time. She just ducked her head in embarrassment so that she could hide her head away from the crowded class which is full of different personalities and hidden souls. All of them just fake their characters and bury down their huge secrets in their deep hearts and their further minds almost like her. The slight difference here is that she doesn't know how to hide her pure soul and pretend like them. She is so sure that everybody has a weak point but they knew well how to hide it. How can they do this?
She thinks about so many creepy and much crazier thoughts and makes fun of her thoughts. Is she crazy? No, but what should a lonely girl do? Are they going to prevent her from using her imagination too? It's so unfair! She drowns in her thoughts and thinks if they have magical powers? Are they even human as her? She tries to be like them but it always ends up putting too many burdens on her shoulders and she would not bear them! But now she wishes that the ground beneath her would split and engulf her immediately. She does so many stupid things and regrets it later and the only thing she cares about it now is how to avoid Sarah and her minions. If only she could end the day on relief! it is her only hope.
"I didn't expect this from you, Nour ! and also on the first day. On the first day! " He scolds her and she doesn't say anything for several seconds. What does he want from her? She only leaves the class because that idiot in front of her bullies her and the teacher here is talking about leaving the class without permission. Doesn't he know about mental problems? as if the school is so disciplined to just scold her for that dump thing! A half-smile rose to her pinky lips. It is clear to me that it is the scorn of the truth of the school. the school just knows how to change its true colors. She sees her school in scorn, mockery and ridicule. It doesn't deserve to be called school! But hurriedly she hides that smile before the teacher would see her.
"I...I am sorry " She apologizes with a cracked voice full of unconfidence about what happened and hopes that she would sit right now because she stands for so long time mostly talking with her mind rather than listening to that teacher and her patience would run out in any moment.
" I see! Go back to your seat and you will be sent to the headmaster if you repeat it and you too Mariam for going out without permission and insulting your friend! " That last sentence beats her head like an earthquake. She looks at Sarah, that witch bitch as she names her and pretends to be innocent. She doesn't believe that the new girl goes to bring her from the bathroom to not make Nour skip the lesson and she knows that she replies to Sarah. A small smile rises to her lips or maybe mostly to her heart that accepts the idea with hopping joyfully.
Will they ever be friends? That thought just let her forget about all the problems she has been through and imagines how her life would change if there is a friend in her dull and understandable life or maybe the correct word is "hell"! At least, she knows that her name is Mariam. Who knows what is waiting for her! Maybe her destiny finally liberates her and congrats her with her happiest days or it worse and will menace her with so dark days full of pain and regrets!
At lunchtime in the school day. She has done her best just to be away from Sarah and her minions. She brings her lunch that is about an apple and small sandwich which brings from here. It isn't that delicious or appetizing but it's better than dying from starving. She heads to the empty table and begins eating. Until that new girl or Mariam comes to her.
"Hello! Would you mind let me sitting with you? I'm new here as you know and I don't know anybody" She greets her with a nice smile making her look more beautiful. About Nour's beauty you can say that Nour is not that monster compared to her but she still has that delicate features that make her special. Nour nods and welcomes her happily. She sits and they begin eating together.
"You have told me that the teacher sent you to get me back to class! " Those few words slip out of her mouth. She is just thinking and felt so strange from what happening. It's the first time to see someone acting nicely to her. she doesn't know how to open a conversation and she regrets later after she has found that low contact in Mariam's eyes and her ducked head that tries to avoid her contacts. Nour starts to curse herself so many times inside her. Is she sure that she is going to befriend her after accusing her of lying!?
"I didn't mean to lie but when I saw your broken eyes and you were about to cry. I had to do something because I knew how you feel when you get bullied" Mariam justifies her situation and her voice is so deep and mysterious. What does she hide? Behind those words there is so much pain and desperate and mostly lost. Nour notices that single tear falling from her eyes that strong tear which fights too much to free itself and slide down on her natural pinky cheeks. Curiosity is killing her she wants to know her secret to maybe help her but who is she mocking to? Herself? She can't even help herself!
Nour stays silent for moments and realizes that she isn't the only one that goes through so problems and pain. She is right when she says that everyone has weakness point but Mariam hides it with her bravery. That is her mask! her temporary mask that doesn't stay too long and appears everything it tries to hide in front of her!
"Thank you so much for standing up for me. I appreciate it " Nour thanks her from her deep heart then she smiles to her to minimize that anxiety that fills the air and Mariam welcomes it and smiles back.
"I'm Mariam Michael" Mariam smiles and begins to introduce herself.
"I'm Nour Al Rayyan " Nour smiles back and starts swapping some conversations.
At the end of the school day. She goes back walking. She notices Sarah and her boyfriend sitting together in his car. He is for sure dropping her off home. Nour doesn't pay any attention and walks back home alone and she feels a car coming towards her. She finds herself stuck to the ground and her legs iced and slowly her limbs go numb from that breathtaking situation and the car doesn't make any drifts and suddenly everything becomes black!
" Watch out! "
