I was laying down in the tent , thinking.
It was 11 P.M and most of the force were sleeping. What am I going to do now? I don't know anyone here. Thank God that I saw Muhamad here. But what if Muhamad leaves ? And will he tell Rami and my mother about me ? If I tell him my story would he belive me? Or he'd just laugh at me and he'd tell my brother about me? I have to talk to him someday, but not now.
'Where's the new girl? What was her name ?' I heared a voice .
'She's sleeping I guess. You know she's sick.' It was Muhamad's voice.
'Okay. She'll start practicing when she gets better. I told her and you tell her again.'
'Okay sure.' Muhamad said.
I wasn't sleeping . Muhamad could check if I was sleeping or not, why did he say that?
I fell asleep.

I opened my eyes checked my watch and it was 2 A.M, I had this terrible headache and my whole body was hurting and I was thirsty. I got out of the tent and I was scared. It was really cold. I looked around and saw tons of bottles so I was walking to get one and I heared someone coughing I looked around and it was Muhamad. I should go and talk to him, I thought.
I got the water and I walked to him.
'Hello.' I said.
'Oh hey. How are you doing? Are you better?'
'Not really. Can I sit? ' I asked.
'Sure.'
'What are you doing at 2 A.M here ? ' I asked .
'Drawing.'
'Oh great.' I looked away.
'What about you?'
'I was thirsty.'
'Aha. You didn't tell me, why are you here ?' He said, looking at me.
'Its what I wanted.'
'Your mother and Rami, how did they let you?'
I looked at him in a wierd way, smiling so maybe I could pull the tears back and then looked away.
'You ran away?' He asked.
'Yeah.' I looked at the other side and the tears streaked.
'Why did you ran away?'
'Because thats what I wanted.'
'Okay but whats the reason?' His voice was soft.
'Why did you come to our house weeks ago?' I tried to change the subject.
'I wanted to see you for the last time. I was leaving the next morning.' He said.
'Why did you want to see me?' Something inside of me moved.
'Because I was really rude to you. Remember.'
'Yeah. I remember.' I said.
'I understand that you don't want to tell me why you came here, but if you ever wanted to talk I'll be here .' He smiled.
His his smile was breathtaking even though he looked normal on the outside but I'm sure that he is deliciously complicated on the inside .
'Thats sweet. Thank you .' I gave him a warm smile.
'Come on, you should sleep you're sick.' He said.
We stood up and he walked with me till I got to the tent.
'My tent is next to yours. If you ever need anything just say psst.' He laughed.
'Thank you.' I laughed .
'For what ?'
'Everything, Muhamad.' I left.
I fell asleep with Muhamad on my mind. His smile, the way he talks, and all of him.
Perfect, he was.
