14 days passed but nothing new happened, usual routine : Wake up, go to school, get bullied by Miley and Conor, sometimes punch them, get into the boring classes, get back home, feed my kitten, go to work, get back home and sleep.
Al hamdulillah, Elina have found the kitten in the garden. I checked the bracelet on its hand and it was the same as the name of the store I saw in the mall while I was leaving, I went to it again but the worker refused to tell the identity of the man who bought the kitten.
"Come on !" I sighed as I noticed that a chewed gum was stuck to my back, "I have had enough of those two" I walked in the school searching for someone, for the only one who would help me happily.
"Hey Robin" I waved at the red headed boy who I once saved from Connor's fist, "Oh hey, Ummm ... Leena right ?" He smiled, "Yes, and I need your help" I whispered, "I see, I think I know what you're thinking of, It will take me two days to get the thing ready" He smirked, "You're the best, make sure to make some worms involved" I whispered and he laughed out loud, "Whatever you say" He winked and headed to his class.
"Hey, Leena listen, I'm sorry but today I'm making this surprise party for Molly so please come for her, she'll be very happy" Simon said quickly and I had to stay silent for a while to understand what he was saying, "I'm sorry but I don't like music and dancing and drinking", "I know I know, that's why I didnt get any of those things, we'll just have a cake and there wont be many boys, you can just come for 5 minutes, please, do it for Molly" He ran to his PE class like a Ferrari.
"So, you going to Molly's surprise-party ?" Helen asked me, "I am" Diana answered, "Shut up, I'm asking Leena, So ?", "I donno, I don't like parties" I shrugged.
"Hey karate kid" Here comes Molly, "Hello empty-headed" I put on the fakes smile I had in my fake smiles book, "Did you take a bath today ? because it smells like garbage" She put her hand over her mouth and nose, "It's normal since you are here, come to my home and I'll give you a deodorant" and loud laughs echoed through the whole school from students from all ages.
"LEENA, GET DOWN HERE" Mrs.Carter shouted from downstairs, "I'M COMING" I put a blanket over my head and ran down, "Your friend is here" She said, "What frien- what are you doing here ?" I raised my eyebrow, "Shame on you Leena, is that how we welcome our guests ? have a seat young-man" Mrs, Carter left me with this stupid tall tanned beautiful young-man to get him a glass of juice.
"What is this blanket doing over your head?" He chuckled, "Shut up Simon, Damon is out in the room beside the pool" I walked to the stairs, "Sorry Sorry I wont laugh, I'm serious now, stop" I turned around but saw how hard he was trying to stop himself from laughing that his whole face turned red, "Okay, laugh before you choke, I know I look like grandmas" I sighed and pulled the blanket over my face and he exploded in laughter, "Okay, now, I came to remind you to come to my sister's surprise party at 6, it's Friday and it won't be a problem", "I don't know, I'll check if I got work today, my boss changed the schedule" I turned around, "Wait, take this, it will look better on you than the blanked, please put it on when you come to the party, please, you will like it" He gave me a white box then left quickly.
"He's willing to anger me" I walked upstairs and to my room then opened the box. A bright light came from the box and almost blinded me, "WHAT !" I pulled a golden dress, it's the same one he made me put on to see if it fits his sister, but why did he give it to me ? I'll figure it out.
"COME ON WE'RE GETTING LATE" Damon shouted at me and his sister and we ran downstairs, "Beauty takes time" Elina said, "Yeah yeah yeah WOAH ! Leena ! you look gorgeous" Damon's eyes widened, "Yeah yeah, take your eyes off me before I stick pen inside them" I threatened.
We ringed the bell three times until Simon opened, "Wellllllll- woah, It really looks good on you" Simon said, "We got some things to discuss about this" I raised my eyebrow, "Come on in" Simon opened the door widely.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOUU HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY TOOOO YOOOOOUUUU" My eyes widened as I saw al my friends inside the house standing around a table with a huge cake over it.
"Happy birthday Leena" Simon whispered as he gave me a box wrapped with red paper and a bow.
"Wh-what is this ?" I asked in a whisper, "It's your birthday, 21st of October" Elina hugged me so did the other girs, I was too shocked to say anything, I stood in my place with two of Simons' gift, I wore one and held the other.
"Don't you say you forgot about it ?" Tom asked and I started tearing, "W-what's wrong ? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" Simon apologized.
"No, No, I'm happy, really happy. It's just that I wish my parents were here, I can't believe they forgot my birthday" Simon gave me some tissues, "Are you actually crying ? You've got to be kidding me ! come on !" Damon started jumping and doing weird faces to cheer me up and I eventually laughed.
I heard some nasheed playing in the background, "Is this Sami Yusuf's nasheed?" I asked, "You can say that I searched about somethings in your phone" Diana said, "WHAT ?what else did you find ?" I glared at her, "This" She pointed at the cake and I saw a picture of me when I was a baby and a recent one printed on top of the cake, "Thank you, everybody, I really appreciate this" I hugged my friends, "Come on ! I deserve a hug too ! I chose the flavor of the cake !" Peter said and we all laughed.
"So, me and the guys will go out to let you and the ladies have fun and some privacy" Simon pulled the boys out, "Leena" Damon called, "Yes ?" I asked, "You said that your parents forgot your birthday. They actually did not" He smiled, "What ?", "Your gift is outside" Damon opened the door widely and my eyes lied on a golden Range rover with a red bow on top of it, I screamed my lungs out.
"You've got to be kidding me" I jumped up and down after Damon gave me the keys, "You sure my parents sent that ? We are not that rich neither are my parents that generous" I asked, "No offence but I asked your father the same question. He scolded me and shouted at me since it's none of my business but he told me that his things worked out well in Turkey and he has built a new company, he also mentioned how muck he loves you and that will give you the whole world if he can. Congratulations, you are rich now"
Me and the girls decided to play truth and dare, "Leena, who bought you this beautiful dress ?" Molley asked, I glared at her because she knew the answer but wanted to embarrass me, "It's a gift from Simon" The girls gasped except Helen, "I ain't surprised if he eventually falls in love with Leena, I mean, after all, he did this whole thing and planned for it, he even did the decoration by himself and invited us yesterday, he even told us to steal your phone and find out your taste in music" Helen said, Molly coughed "With my help for sure and my taste" I blushed, "Did he really do this for me ?" I asked, "LEENA IS BLUSHING, SHE FEELS SOMETHING FOR SIMON" Molly shouted, "WHAT ! no shut up, it's just ..... it's just that nobody has done something nice for me since I came" I frowned, "Says the girl with a golden Range rover" Helen said sarcastically. A phone ringed and cut off out conversation, "Whose phone is this?" We all asked in sync. I took the phone and unlocked it, "Whose phone is this ?" I asked again after I was surprised because of the background that had some Arabic words, لا اله الا الله (la elaha ella allah , No god except Allah) was written in a bold font, "WHOSE PHONE IS THIS !" I asked loudly, "What's wrong ?" Diana stood up to see what's wrong with the phone but I put it behind my back, "Nothing".
The door opened after two minutes while I was still holding the phone and wondering about the owner of it, "Oh, you found my phone, thank you" Tom snapped the phone from my hand, "Do you realize what's written on the picture that is set as your phone background ?" I asked.
"Yes Leena, I do" Tom walked away with his phone in his hand leaving me speechless.
