Good? Great.

The showcase

Pic is Romaisa and Asher but feel free to imagine them as however you want :)

I quickly make my way tumbling slightly on my heels towards the girl who seems to be having a bit of trouble with her mannequin. Today was the showcase, and so far it was going great, only about 7 minutes till people start showing up. My mom insisted on me wearing heels even though she knows how hard it is for me to walk in them. I'm wearing a silky red maxi dress with a black hijab and black heels.

"Here how about we just add some few safety pins over her that way it won't slip off," I say to the girl, Marianne I think, with a smile.

"Great idea, thank you Romaisa!" She says kindly while grabbing a few safety pins, I help her put them on and walk off to open the doors. It's show time.

This showcase is going better than I expected, everyone here is dressed so nice and giving the best compliments. Which I think is great for the other students ego. They'll feel very proud now, I grin and say thank you to a woman who just complimented on two of my designs.

"Here why don't you take my business card, so if your ever in need of a job I'll gladly take you in," she says kindly clearly loving my works. I take the card and say,"of course I'll think about it," she smiles and walks off.

Maybe this can be a start to my own business. I look towards the doors and spot Shiza and Asher come through looking as if they're arguing about something. Shiza is wearing long dark blue maxi dress that has golden embroidery on it, with a gold hijab. She looks beautiful mashallah. Asher literally took my breath away, how can a man be this gorgeous?

Dressed in a black tuxedo with a red bow tie and his hair combed back, I can't help but look a bit longer. I quickly lower my gaze though realizing that I'm doing something haram. I slowly walk up to them trying to cool my blushing face. Hugging Shiza I say my Salam to her and awkwardly say my Salam to Asher. Which he replies to a bit too quickly.

"Hahah you guys are matching! That is so cute wallahi, did you two plan this?" Shiza says with a smirk.

Me and Asher look at each other realizing that we actually do match, before red seeps through his neck and my cheeks turn bright.

"Uh coincidence I guess," Asher says before looking around. I glare at Shiza and motion with my hands 'wallahi I'm going to kill you later'. That little idiot has the nerves to raise her hands in a thumbs up sign.

"Anyways, uh I'm glad you guys could make it, go ahead and look around uh Asher, I'm going to talk to Shiza here for a second."

Asher nodded before walking off. I turn slowly towards Shiza, she gulps as I glare at her.

"Shiza...."

"Yes my friend?.."

"You. Little. Shit."

She gasps, "Romaisa! No bad words allowed young lady, imma tell your mom."

I roll my eyes, "fine," I didn't wanna be hit with a slipper.

"Oh come here, I have to show you this dress that this girl made and you also still have to see mine. Then we can hit the food tables 'cuz we all know that's the best part here."

She nodded and grinned following me towards the girls design, a lot of people here had talent. On the way to the food table we saw Asher talking to a guy named Nathan. Nathan was the only guy who was in this, they were both laughing together about something and I didn't realize that I was smiling until Shiza pointed it out.

"Isn't that Nathan?" She asked. I nodded.

"He actually made a design?! Wait is he gay, cuz he seems pretty straight and like he's all guyish looking too an--"

"Shiza, you don't have to be a gay guy just to work in the fashion industry. Plus he didn't make a dress he actually made a suit, that I think could sell for millions."

"I wanna go see it!" She said while sort of jumping.

I frowned,"but the food!" I say whining a bit.

Shiza rolled her eyes playfully, "we can get that later, I'm curious right now, and wink wink Asher's there too!" She said singing the last part.

I glared at her, "I don't care if he's there or not, what are you trying to say huh?"

She laughed and shook her head, "nothing, nothing now come on," before I could protest she already dragged me towards the two guys.

"Hey Nathan!" Shiza said loudly.

"Oh hey Shiza long time no see," Nathan said with a grin.

"I came here to see this suit that I heard you made," Shiza said getting straight to the point. I guess Nathan thought so too because the next thing he said was, "wow getting straight to the point are we?"

Shiza rolled her eyes and nodded while Nathan brought his suit out. It was actually really amazing and looked like something out of a magazine. While Shiza started gushing and giving him compliments me and Asher stood to the side awkwardly.

"You look really nice Romaisa," I hear Asher say softly, I look at him before looking back down again. "Thanks uh you do too," he smiles.

Nathan and Shiza are now in a deep conversation about random things that I'm too lazy to follow.

"So how's living with Shiza going?" I say so we wouldn't be in an awkward silence.

"Horrible. She's such a brat sometimes, I always wanted a sibling and now that I sort of do I regret it," he says with a small laugh, and I grin along.

"Trust me I know, she's a real handful. Hey did yo--"

I get cut off as I feel something hit my prosthetic leg causing me to lose my balance, giving a small scream I wait for the impact of the floor but instead feel two warm arms wrap themselves around my waist.

Oh my Allah..
