cafeteria was so silent when i and ummy walked in . we saw khaleel sitting in our normal spot and we joined him there.
why is every where so silent and all eyes are on us. i asked khaleel if he knew what was going on but apparently he didn't which left all three of us clueless on why every one was staring and silent.
"attention people of Northgate high school" started our principal." it has been declared by the government that any sort of scraves,caps, and hijabs will not more be allowed to be worn. good day." she left everyone whispering and glaring at ummy. this is not good.
I wonder what ummy is going to do now. I mean after all, khaleel has nothing to worry about because he is a guy. ummy never ever takes of her hijab. she says its her pride, her and dignity, and a symbol of her religion. I watched the cafeteria whisper and mumble about it. ummy and khaleel were the only Muslims in the school so all eyes were on them. hold on. hasely. she definitely has something to do with it because she is walking towards us with an evil grin spreading across her face .
"sorry hon, looks like every one is going to finally see your hair" she said taking a frie from khaleel's plate and everyone laughing at that statement.
" I am never taking off my hijab" she said standing up and looking her in the eye.
"you know, you shouldn't talk to me like that. because I know your secret and I can tell everyone right now" she dared to threaten, but ummy just rose her eyebrow .
"tell everyone" she said giving her the go ahead to do it
" I will"
" fine"
she stood on the table and got everyone's attention. when all eyes were on her, she started.
" this little miss muslimah here is a VIRGIN" she said as if being a virgin is a crime
" so.." ummy said climbing the table too. I could here murmuring from every corner of the cafeteria. I expect ummy to trash talk her.
" that is not even a secret, you think you. you think I'm a whore" ummy said stating the obvious
" I am not a whore" hasely replied coming so close to ummy's face
" really" ummy said pushing her away from her face. "your hole is so wide it bigger than the sea Moses divided". oh! I felt that. hasely could not say anything so left the cafeteria with her dolls.
" common lets bounce before the bell is rung' I said and on cue the bell rang. wow.
~>~.~
after school, I and ummy headed off to the mall to shop for more hijabs for her while khaleel got bored and left for Starbucks.
the hijab store is soo cool. they are different types and colors of hijabs here. now we are in the fitting room and ummy wants to fit all the hijabs on a rack. I mean how gnarly is that. and I bet she can pay for all of them.
" hey ummy" I yelled outside the fitting room
" yh" she replied
" I'm going to the toilet. I'll be back soon"
" okay"
I went to the toilet and boy it smelled like something I didn't like. I don't know but I found it difficult to breathe because. O.M.G. it was rose. it smelled like roses and the doctor said those cause a very bad reaction in my lungs . I felt my knees getting weak, I dint know when I fell to the ground and started wheezing. I cant remember what happened after then.
