HEELS--6

"Can't breathe" Zahra whispered and we all stood off her.

As soon as we walked into my room, we jumped on her like sacks of potatoes ignoring her complains.

"I thought you guys acted like you didn't see me" She said flipping her hair

Intisar smacked her "You monkey. We couldn't jump on you like this in front of them"

Zahra rubbed the place she smacked and glared at her

"Exactly we have to act all ladylike you know" Yusrah added and I nodded

"Whatever, keep that aside" Zahra waved her hands "So Humaira tell us everything" She said sitting upright and the girls attention turned to me

I was hoping they could forget that but this evil girl had to remind them.What is even everything when I have nothing to say to them.

"Yes yes we are all ears and remember you can't lie" Yusrah warned grabbing a pillow and facing me

"We technically read your face like a book" Intisaar added as they all grabbed a pillow and turned to face me.  

"Ughhhhhhh" I groaned loudly stuffing my face into the pillow on my lap.

Lord save me.

"Goodbye Mami, goodbye aunt" I said as we walked out of the house to our next lectures. We will be dropping Zahra at the school as she had to clear up some things about the courses she'll be taking.

"And if you come back late, you are sleeping on the bench outside" Mami yelled and I groaned

"Goodbye" Aunt replied laughing as we walked out with the girls. Zahra still stuffing her face with the cheese cake.

"I don't know why you are still eating this" Juwairiyya muttered rolling her eyes

"Exactly and besides how you're eating it, is so un ladylike" Yusrah added and Zahra looked up to her with a stern look.

"What's with you and the lady like word today? Zahra asked raising a brow

"It's my new trend. Do you have a problem with that? Yusrah replied raising a brow too

"Stop doing that" Zahra muttered in an annoyed tone

"Doing what? Yusrah asked confused

"Raising a brow when I raise one" She replied and we all looked at her.

"So first you have a problem with what I say and now you have a problem with my brows" Yusrah exclaimed

"No I don't, I have a problem with your so called trend and your brows lifting when mine lifts" 

Yusrah let out an exasperated laugh "So my brows shouldn't lift?

"Not when mine is lifting"

"Because yours is lifting mine shouldn't lift? Who are you to decide that?

"The first brow lifter?

Yusrah rolled her eyes "Ohh really? Well I hail thee great brow lifter. Now you decide when people lift their brows, why and how"

"No, but not when I'm lifting! Zahra exclaimed narrowing her eyes

"How would I know when you are lifting" Yusrah shouted as we all stifled a laugh watching their interactions.

"I'm lifting when the un-lifted brow lifts obviously"

"Un-lifted? That's not even a word" Yusrah pointed out furrowing her brows

"Yes it is" Zahra glared at her adamantly

"No it's not"

"Yes it is"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Okay you guys had your fun. Can we now leave" I shouted making all their attention turn to me "We are running late" I added and we looked at each other for a few minutes before all bursting into laughter.

"That was hilarious" Juwairiyya muttered holding her stomach

"I know right. Lifting brows and the lifter" Intisaar added and we all laughed harder.

"Zahra what's un-lifted? I asked wiping my tears. Something I do that when I laugh hard.

"I don't know, it just came" She replied laughing as she threw the plastic bowl in the bin. 

"I can't believe I said brow lifter" Yusrah muttered and we laughed once again

"Alright girls let's get going" Intisaar chirped in and we all nodded heading to our separate cars.

"Do you guys have any lectures tomorrow? I asked as we approached the cars. It's past five and it is getting dark. We need to get home pretty quick before it's maghrib.

"No I don't" Juwairiyya muttered eating her chips

"I do" Intisaar said bringing out her car keys just as I brought out mine.

"Me too" Yusrah added as I unlocked my car moving to open the door

"I do too" I said turning to look at them

"Okay then girls goodbye. Take care and don't miss me too much" Juwairiyya shouted moving to Yusrah's car

"Miss you my foot " Intisaar muttered getting into hers

"See you girls tomorrow. I have to pick up Zahra" I said but their attention wasn't on me rather behind me. Their eyes were wide, jaws opened and even killed down their car engines.

"Okay there's something behind me isn't it? I muttered turning and met hafeez eyes

"You? I shouted moving back placing a hand on my chest

"I'm sorry if I startled you" He muttered raising both hands up

"It's okay. What are you doing here? I asked as soon as I calmed down

"My sister studies here. I came to pick her up but she's not yet here"

"Ohhh" I dragged then added "I study here too" I replied adjusting my slipping veil making the situation overly uncomfortable.

"Really. That's great" He said and I nodded before realising it's getting dark

"I have to go, it's really getting dark" I said as I moved backwards to get into the car

"Sure" He said then hesitated a bit before adding "Could you please do me a favour?

I furrowed my brows "Yes?

"I wanted to get your number from Amina but decided to ask you first. Can I?

Awww he is first asking if he can get my number when he could have gotten it without me even knowing. How considerate. 

What's Wrong with you Humaira? He's waiting! My subconscious screamed at me

I suddenly snapped out and smiled at him

"Yes sure" I replied

"Thank you very much. Let me go search for her, it's almost maghrib" He started jogging backwards

"Okay then. Goodbye" I said smiling

"See you soon" He said instead and turned to jog away.

I looked at his receding figure and smiled before finally turning back only to meet my friend's excited and awed faces.

What? I thought they left. I am very sure they won't let me rest. They don't understand the word "nothing" apparently.

"I'm so coming tomorrow" Juwairiyya shouted while I face palmed myself  knowing I have explanation to do.
