What the hell?

In my locker was a small note with a rose tucked in it. Who had put this here? Confused as hell I took out the note and opened to find my eyes go wide at the words written on it.

Greetings, my love                                                                                                       -A

WHAT?!

What is the meaning of this? So many questions clouded my mind.

Who is this?

What does the person want?

Why would the person do this?

What is the reason behind this?

Is this a prank?

Yet no answers to it.

Calming myself, I threw the note in the dustbin, hurriedly stuffed my books in my locker and started walking to the exit. Once out from college, I made my way to the bus stop.

As soon as the bus arrived, I got in on it and took my seat.

In the midst, my thoughts of the earlier incident came back leaving me again with unanswered questions.

What could that mean?

Ugh I'll go mad like this.

But what if it is Aira and Rania? Come to think of it, they did say, I quote, 'Revenge is on'. There is a high chance it could be them.

My destination arrived when the bus came to a halt, breaking me from my chain of thoughts. I got out and made my way to the hostel building. After entering the elevator, I pressed the button which had the number 7 on it.

I quickly got out as I reached my floor and headed to my room which is Room 34. The room I was given was a nice one. One king-sized bed in front of the room door but a little to the right and beside each sides of the bed were the two side tables. In the left corner was my study table. On the right was the washroom. A set of sofa was placed on the left side leaving a good amount of gap between it and the study table.

As I entered, I threw my bag on the sofa and collapsed on the comfy bed.

It's my routine, nothing unusual.

***************

"Hey guys!" I greeted Rania and Aira on our way to the Business class.

"Walaikum Assalam to you too." Rania replied.

"Oops sorry." I apologized.

"You should be." She said with a fake glare.

We had set one rule between us that we will always greet each other in Arabic at school the first thing when we arrive.

Me and Aira sometimes forget it as some people greet their friends like hey and hi but Rania never forgets. And whenever we greet like how I did, she will give the same reply.

Entering in the class, we took our usual seats and waited for our Sir.

Yesterday after I reached home, I somehow reasoned myself that the note was just a prank done by my friends and did not allow anymore unnecessary questions making its way in my mind by offering my prayer and then distracting myself with the homework I got.

Sir Rider set foot in the class five minutes later and then started with the lesson.

As I was about to doze off to sleep, I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I turned to my right to see Rania shaking Aira and pulling her hand back after shaking me.

"You two sleepyheads! Stay awake. Sir will catch you otherwise." Rania whisper-yelled.

"I don't care, I'm sleepy." Aira stated.

"Fine, then I'm sure you both will enjoy your detention." Rania said. We both got back to our senses and sat properly so Sir wouldn't be suspicious.

I hate detentions! One time I got one and it was so boring. I was literally counting minutes waiting for it to end.

"How are we supposed to stay awake in this subject?" I huffed.

"By keeping your eyes open. That's how." She answered. I pouted and then we all giggled.

**************

Business and Accounts classes were over and now we were walking towards the cafeteria for our break.

Suddenly something clicked.

"Oh shoot! Guys I forgot my Accounts notebook in class." I said.

"So forgetful." Aira commented.

"Thank you for the compliment." I gave a fake smile to which she rolled her eyes. "You guys carry on, I'll meet you there."

They both nodded and I turned around and ran to my class.

Going to where my seat was, I found my notebook on the table. Quickly taking it, I walked to the cafeteria and took my seat beside Rania.

"Here, your fries." Aira said passing me my fries.

"Thanks." I thanked.

"Got your book?" Rania asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"So any plans for the weekend?" Aira questioned.

"No," Rania and I said together.

"Well then lets make one. How about shopping?" She suggested.

"Awesome and then we can have dinner at our favorite restaurant!" I happily said.

Me and Aira looked at each other and we both gave a knowing smile.

"Pizza Hut!" We shouted in unison.

"Not happening," Rania rejected. "An Arabic restaurant it is. Imagine the rice and lamb and-"

"Noo!" We both said.

It's not like we didn't like it, it's just that we liked pizza more.

Like C'mon, who in their right mind can say NO to pizza?!

"Pizza hut is final. Besides we went to an Arabic restaurant last weekend." I stated.

"But-" Rania began to protest but Aira cut her off.

"No buts. Be fair Aira. Right Dina?" Aira asked me.

"Absolutely right." I answered.

"Fine, whatever." Rania muttered and crossed her arm on her chest with a disapproving frown.

Once again Aira and I looked at each other with a mischievous smile.

The next moment Rania was being tickled by us.

"Stop ....... guys......... ok ...sto.." Rania pleaded in between her laughter.

"Cheer up first." I ordered.

"Ok...ay .... no.w ..stopp." She gave in. We then stopped. She then calmed herself and settled properly.

"You guys are evil and insane!" She then said.

"That's why we're your fiends, girl." I said. We all laughed.
