"so, your mum left you, and you went to live with your dad ? But why did she leave ?"
I sat next to Menna Fahim to discuss why was she acting strangely. I noticed that she didn't remember me, at all, and I knew I had to act quickly because girls started to call her names, like "possessed", "ghost girl", "Devil's daughter", etc..She told me that her mother left her, and when Menna saw her once in the street, her mother acted like she didn't know her. After that Menna got sick and she had to take medicine which caused her a temporary memory loss. That's why she forgot me.
I don't know why it sounded so familiar.
She nodded at me.
"yes. I'm sorry if I made you scared for a while, it's just..I never really knew you to begin with, and when I did, I didn't know how to tell you."
I shook my head."It's okay, Menna. I get it."
We hugged, and let go when I heard someone entering the room. I looked up to see Tenzing.
"Hi, Tenzing."
"Hi, Adelle. Pamela needs you to see if the new actor works or not."I nodded.
"OK, give me a minute."
He shook his head and got out of the room.
I bid Menna goodbye and went upstairs.Later :
I stood in front of our new actor, Mohamed Ramadan, as he talked to Pamela about his free timing and everything that might appear important.
When Caden said that they were exaggerating when they said they didn't find anyone to replace T. R, and that they should've asked Hamdy to do it. Pamela asked Hamdy to look for someone who might appear good for the role.
Hamdy spent the whole night thinking about who to bring, and when he finally got it, he contacted Mohamed right away.
I was relieved.I knew Mohamed Ramadan very well, and I knew that he's not like Pitbull. So it would be alright.
"so Adelle, do you like him, or do you have a personal opinion about him ? Please say yes because we don't have much options."Pamela said, not trying to keep her voice quiet enough.
Mohamed and Hamdy stared at me hopefully.
"yeah, he's good. Thanks, Hamdy. "Both smiled.
"yeah, well, thank God. I guess you got the role, Mohamed."
I smiled back.The bell rang.
"I gotta go now. Thanks again Hamdy."
"You're welcome."I headed towards the class immediately.
In Class :
I saw Menna Tawfiq randomly sitting there with Christina. That rang a bell.
The day her phone got stolen, she was sitting next to Christina.Is she planning something ? I asked myself.
I got distracted when a notification rang my phone.
Not usually a good thing. I thought and unlocked my phone.Hey, Goddess. The message read.
It was Barron.
Hi, Barron. Everything alright ? I typed, but before I can get an answer, Mrs Hayam walked in.
"please sit down, Adelle."
I nodded and sat down in my usual place next to Basma.We should go for a walk. Please, Barron ? I typed later in class.
Just to be clear, I'm the only one who's allowed to use the phone in class, the principal made sure I was happy enough not to change my mind about the deal.
Of course, Goddess. He typed back.
To be Continued..
