I woke up in the morning, the first thing i do is check facebook to see if he ever replied. I see that he never sent a message and that he was offline. I go to the bathroom take a shower and get ready for School. I go downstairs to see my mom making breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom. Do you need any help? Did you guys have fun yesterday?"
" Good morning, sweetie. It's okay i'm almost done just sit down or you'll be late for school. Yes everyone said hi and said you should come next time. I thought you liked going to your uncles, you're close with your cousins." I just say: "Insha'allah, next time." And start eating breakfast. After i finish eating i pick up my backpack and put on my sneakers and head out the door. "Bye mom i'm leaving" "Ok, sweetie be careful."
I go to the bus stop and take out my head phones and put some music on. I rmember what my mom said. I was close with my cousins, in fact they were my best friends... well in fact my only friends. But i hadn't told them anything about Samir or that i was talking to him. I felt bad keeping a secret but i dont know. I just didnt want to share the secret with anyone else just yet.
I went to school and the whole time i was just out of it. I couldn't stop thinking of why Samir saw my message but never replied. Was he mad at me? Maybe i shouldnt have asked or even said anything about the post. What if he never talks to me again? All sorts of thoughts kept running through my head.
School was over so i went and got on the bus. I got home and entered through the door. I yelled, "i'm home!" There was no response, i went to the kitcken. My mom had prepared food on the table with a note saying they went shopping. I went upstairs and put on comfy clothes. I washed my hands and ate the food my mom prepared. I washed the dishes and picked up some apple and coke. I went upstairs and started my homework. I was trying not to go on facebook.. what if he never texted again? What if he told me who it was and it was someone else? So i finished all my homework. After i was done, i had nothing else to do. So it was time to face reality.. i logged on facebook. I saw that i had received a message from Samir.

Samir: tú

I was so confused what the hell is tú? I sent a message back to him.

Samiha: What?
I went on google translate, copied and paste it on there and clicked translate.   tú - You.. before i could even react, I received a message. I went back on facebook and clicked on the message. And there it was
Samir: you..
Samiha: me? Really?
Samir: mhm
I wa so happy but so confused. He liked me? It was me? What do i say? I like you too? I didnt know what to do. So then i replied
Samiha: oh ok
Samir: ok

Ok? Really ok? What am i doing?

Samir: well gtg, talk to you later.
Samiha: ok ttyl, bye.

Now i was even more confused what did it mean. He did say it was me but what is going to happen? He didnt say anything else.
I heard voices from downstairs so i went down and helped my mom put everything away. They had picked up dinner on the way so we had dinner together. I cleaned up the kitchen and said good night to everyone. I went upstairs and got in bed. I slowly drifted off to sleep..
