Being a Muslim teen that wears the veil is like a taboo. She gets bullied, insulted, disrespected.

After moving to LA with her family, Aya re-enters the door she thought she had closed and is determined to this time show people that covering her head doesn't make her any different from them. She isn't going to let anyone criticize her for wearing it - again.

But, it isn't that easy; fighting against a whole school. Struggling to keep relationships, fit in with everyone else, and being careful not to disrespect her religion are things that she never expected that she would have to face. All she wants is to live like everyone else, a normal teen. What she doesn't realize is that being the only Muslim in High School requires much more energy than she expected.

COMPLETED ✔️✔️ Excerpt. *** "I won't bite. . .yet. . .I promise" He said with a teasing smirk. Walking in the rain didn't sound like a bad idea. Naima didn't want to sit in a car alone with him. As her luck was rare, the thunder clapped and she found herself racing into a practical stranger's car. That wasn't the plan. Naima looked at him weirdly. "Fine. . .but don't try anything funny." "You have my word. I won't try anything. . . funny, Habiba." She could have voiced her disapproval in his insistent need to call her Habiba. But there were much more bigger problems. *** Blurb. A bump in the high school hallway? Cliché. . .I know. But it did happen. And personally Naima hated clichés. She was clearly going to hate him too. But she didn't design life. No one did. And Tawfiq had a way of sneaking up into people's lives if he wanted. And he wanted to sneak into the one hijabi in his French class. Things start not to match up with what Naima knows and questions are raised. Everyone hides something from the world. . . Even stars hide behind clouds on a cloudy night. When the clouds move, will a beautiful starry night be seen or a dark sky with no stars? As the saying goes, Nothing is really truly hidden... Forget Disney and fairy tales. For this is a whole different tale. WARNING ‼️ ⚠️ You'll laugh with them. You'll cry with them. You'll hate some with a passion. You'll love some with the same passion. Started: September 2017. Ended: December 2018. Book 1 in The Secret Series

Salam u alaikum readers! I wanted to inform you guys that I've started making edits to this story. Some chapters are the same while some are completely different. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! ________________________ Anisa Malik. The famous confident hijabi in class 11-A. She's headstrong and beautiful but could be a short tempered kid when provoked. She's got her hands full and the handsome bully in her class just makes it worse for her. Little did she know, the annoying boy who never ceases to piss her off might be a bit more important part of her life than she takes him for. He might just be the one chosen to be her other half. Ali Hassan. That name sent girls shrieking and blushing all over. That was no wonder. His charms and looks were enough to send any girl's heart racing. And he knows it until he meets the only girl who plays hard to get. Her clear cut comebacks, her sassy attitude just sparks something inside him. Despite this feeling, he takes every chance to humiliate her. The only guy bold enough to step up to the confident Anisa Malik, he just seems to be the perfect bully for a girl like her. What happens when Anisa and Ali are forced to get married? The two can't even get along for two minutes in a classroom let alone spend the rest of their lives together. She's got her problems and this marriage is another one added to her list until the bully starts showing a side she has never seen. One thing is for sure. It's one shell of a bumpy ride.

#4 in highschoollovestory on 11/2/2020 ****This book starts off with the present time of a wedding and reveals a hidden love story**** Now, going to be married, Sairah reminisces about her past love story. Sairah's a hijabi... and life as a hijabi isn't easy at Kendale High School. Sairah is witty, sarcastic, modest and beautiful. She receives looks of admiration, and hatred because of her loyalty to her religion. However, one day someone takes things too far... Ahmed, the new kid was also Muslim and had just moved to LA. He's bold, charming, egoistic, handsome, and sometimes gets a little too in over his head. However, when Sairah's and his path clash insults are exchanged and so is flattery. Learn the eventual result of these two hot-headed Muslims and where life takes them... Both start off with a rather teasing and sarcastic friendship, but time leads them into something more-- something beautiful. ************************************************************************************************ "Now? Now I have to deal with you throwing all your hard work for a girl! A girl Ahmed! A girl!" He emphasizes 'girl' with annoyance and disappointment. I clench my jaw getting heated. "Dad she is NOT some girl okay! I love her and she loves me! She is more than just some girl!" I soften my tone, "dad I love her okay and I'm not leaving NYU because of her. I'm not even thinking about NYU for her. And for our future together." I try to reason with my dad who is shaking his head in disbelief. "Ahmed I know you care about her okay. There's nothing wrong with falling in love-- unless she's taking you away from your life plan!" My dad explains visibly frustrated. "Dad, it was never my life plan to begin with. It was yours!" I run a hand through my hair. ************************************************************************************************ ALSO, THIS STORY IS A TAD RELIGIOUS BUT IT IS FICTIONAL
