Half the way during lunch break, my phone rang. It was Hayden.
"Hi, Hayden. What's up ?"
"I just wanted to check on you."

"using me as an excuse so you don't sleep ?"
I asked, as Basma continued to stare at me with enthusiasm.
"I can't sleep. Anyway how is it going ?"

( just in case you didn't know, The time difference between America and Egypt is 6 hours, so if It's morning in Egypt, it would be night in America )

"It's a bit weird. Today is my first day back in school, My friends are amazing and everything, but It's weird. I'm not suppose to be here."

"Don't worry, you'll fit in sooner or later. And we'll give you company when we come to Egypt. I always wanted to know what the food tastes like."
"You'll find out for yourself. But right now I have to go cause the bell is about to ring"

Just then, the bell rang.
"See ?"
He chuckled.
"by the way, if you see Barron, tell him I'm sorry that I left."
"I..I will"
I smiled to myself.

"Bye, Hayden"
"Bye, Adelle"
I hung up after, and slowly walked my friends to our class line.
"So who was this ?"
Aya asked, rather excited.

"It's just a friend of mine, he's helping me set up"
She nodded.

Time Skip :
End of School Day :

My driver waited for me as I left the school.
"Bye, guys. See you tomorrow"
I said in Arabic as I entered the car, and found Rajwan there, since Allison's school, Notre Dame de Sion, lets the kids out an hour after us.

I hugged my brother, then smiled.
"I missed you so much."
"but it's only been a few hours"
He chuckled.
"I know, I just did"
"Well, I missed you, too"

He smiled back, and we rode the car in silence.

When we arrived home, I saw that my mum is nowhere to be found. So I realized she was in the company or something.
I went back to my room, and spend the time doing my homework.

The Next Day :

Today is the day I'll ask the principal to have the crew around, so I'll hope she says yes.
It was lunch time when I went to her office. It was kind of tidy, but more than the principal were there.

I sat on the chair across from the principal, as she smiled at me.
"so what brings you here, Adelle ?"
"well, I wanted to ask you something"
She nodded at me.

"well, I left America when we were filming The Exhausting Journey, and Pamela, the director, didn't want me to leave, but I did. And now she thought that maybe we should move the crew to Egypt.."

"You want to continue filming in the school ?"
"Yes. Is that okay ?"
"It is okay. But what will our reward be ?"
"3 million dollars will be given to the school at the end of the month of our stay"

Suddenly I felt more than the principal's eyes on me.
"OK, yes. You can film here. But I don't want any connections between your actors and the girls. So there won't be any trouble"
"ok. Thank you so much"

I turned to leave as she waved at me.
When I got out of the office, I called Pamela immediately.
"What is it, Adelle? It's 5 am"
"It's Miss Eman, she agreed to film The Exhausting Journey in Omar El-Mochtar School"
