Later that Night :

My mum was sleeping with dad in their master bedroom, and I could tell they were both in peaceful slumper.
But I wasn't.
I couldn't close an eye.

I tried everything, counting sheep, counting to 100, everything, but nothing seemed to work.
I tried texting Hayden, but he was sleeping.

Johnny, Caden, Annie. But none.
I couldn't blame them though, it was midnight.
Gosh, what's happening to me ?
Saeed's look was all I was thinking about.

I guess I was exaggerating.
But then what ?
I always hated Ahmed and his wife, and his son was definitely no exception.
I was finally able to close my eyes.

I was so satisfied that I was about to get some sleep.
But then I heard the sound of floor creaking.

What ?

Why would anyone get up at this time of night ?
I got up, slipped on my robes, deciding to check who was it.
I turned on my phone's flashlight, and got out of the room, trying my best not to make any noise.

My soft slippers helped me with that.
I sneaked quietly through the hallway, my phone clutched tightly in my hand, pointed at my feet.
I tried not to trip, due to my usual clumsy self, but it was hard when you know that someone is out there, awake.

Something, or someone touched my shoulder.
I turned around, dropping my phone due to shock.
"R-Rajwan..! What the heck ? You almost gave me a heart attack !"

"Sorry ! I heard some noise, and I couldn't sleep."
That is strange.

He heard it too.
He bent down to pick up my phone, and handed it over to me.
As he stood back up, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and turned around immediately, fear trickling into both of us.
"Allison..! Why would you scare us like that ?!"

Of course it was Allison.
Mum and Dad are sleeping in the same room, and if one of them woke up, the other one will, too.

"because I wanted to, duh !"
She said sassily, and I rolled my eyes.
"very funny. We need to go back to sleep, you know."
Rajwan spoke. I nodded.
Allison rolled her eyes, but eventually nodded too.

We said goodnight to each other, and went back to our rooms.
I fell asleep almost immediately.
I guess a little scare can make me sleep.

The Next Day :

We were sitting in Miss Manar's class, who just finished her lesson, and was doing nothing.
Of course, we were free, too.

I was re-reading what I just wrote, over and over again, when someone knocked on the door.
I looked up, and I saw Hayden coming.
"Hi, Miss Manar. Can I speak to Adelle ?"
She nodded, smiling.

I smiled too, and hugged him for a second.
He was too embarrassed, since the whole class was watching us, but hugged my waist anyway, patting me slightly.

When we let go, he spoke, handing his phone to me.
"well, someone would like to speak to you.."
I was surprised when I saw Isaak Ryan Brown's face popping up on Hayden's FaceTime.
