...20/20...

Wednessday, 25th October, 2017.

Dear D,
Well well, guess who finally has a good news?! Yes! Yes! It's meeeee! Two of my tests came in yesterday, and guess who had a perfect mark in one? Me! I couldn't believe my eyes! I actually had 20/20, I mean, I knew I tried my best, but I wasn't expecting a perfect score! Oh, and the other one, I had 18.5, that's not surprising, I really like reading and we just had to analyze a book that we had read in class.

My cousins called me yesterday, and they said they had to leave 'cause their dad had to be rushed to the hospital, I don't know the details and I don't mind because Alhamdulilah, he's fine now and he's back at home.

My sister also called me yesterday. She said she's coming over on Friday which means I have to stay home this weekend too lol, my roommate misses me ssooo much, she's called me like a million times and I don't even know how to explain that I'm not going to go back until Sunday, oh and Kawthar too! She is complaining that she has been cooking and eating alone and well, let them miss me just a little bit more.

Yesterday was better than the day before, oh, I spoke to Adeel and I did feel better :)! We actually decided to meet up after Jumu'ah prayer on Friday, and now I don't know how it would work out considering that my sister is coming over, and she won't be happy if I leave her at home just to hang out with a friend. I don't want to worry myself though, I would cross the bridge when I get there.

Today was really nice, after our classes, we had a class meeting and it was so much fun! My classmates were just cracking us up and at the end of the day, our course advisor didn't show up (We didn't regret staying back though).

I apologised to my half siblings by buying them ice cream on my way back from school and yay! They're not so hard to please, we even watched some cartoons together when I got back.
(Oh, I got back just some minutes before 3, as our classes ended by 12 and our meeting was dispersed around 1:30).

Oh yeah, introduction to my half siblings, or wait, all my siblings.

My elder sister's name is Asiyah and she's going to be 23 years old later this year, yeah, she's 5 years older than me, but we used to be really really close until she got married last year, and actually, I'm only lucky that I have school and friends else, I'd be the loneliest person on Earth, even though my half siblings are the best when they're around! My sister doesn't talk a lot too, I think that's because I already do all the talking for us ;)! She is a really kind soul too, but she's not very open, especially to strangers

My half siblings are twins, a girl and a boy, and they're both 10. It took a while before my step mum could have babies, and it was only a very big blessing to the family that she had twins, Ameer and Ameerah. They're really smaarrtt! They're like the smartest kids I know, and sincerely, I love them soooooo much.

They're like polar opposites though. While Ameerah is super shy and quiet, Ameer is very bold and although he doesn't talk a lot, he always stands up for both himself, and his little sister. I remember Ameerah telling me once when they were in primary school that nobody in her class dared to argue with her, because they were all scared of her brother.

They're both in their first year in secondary school, and they also go for their Quranic classes in the evenings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. They're both learning Spanish too, I don't know why they're mum is making them do so much but I can't complain, why? They're handling the stuff quite well!

So, those are my siblings, and I'm really happy and feel blessed to be able to call them that. I don't get along well with my step mum because she wants to be much closer to me than she is, and I don't want to, I don't want to call her mummy or share secrets with her. I mean, we are cool, we say hi and we even used to have random conversations and all, but since she asked me why I don't call her mum, I started to withdraw. Muhammad thinks I'm not being nice, but I haven't given it a lot of thought and I don't want to worry

Oh goodness, I've wasted so many lines lol!

Yours,
A.
