Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Halima’s POV

The sleep over/girls night was superb!! We watched movies, pulled pranks on Ya Sa’eed, invaded Teemah’s fridge which earned us two hours of warning speech from Teemah’s parents.

We even had a food fight when Teemah’s parents, Amal and Afnan (Teemah’s younger sisters) were not around. We had to bribe Ya Sa’eed by taking him shopping with us so that he wouldn’t tell Teemah’s parents what we did. It was a butt load of fun.

It was Monday and after a lot of thinking I still stood by my decision of telling Amir about my feelings. I’d seen him twice and it seemed like he was avoiding me. Or was he just busy and had not noticed me? Either way I’d find a way to get a hold of him, I told myself.

I finally got a hold of him in the kitchen and thankfully, it was empty. I told him I’d been trying to talk to him but I couldn’t get the chance.

He was making a lot of stupid excuses and I think he was trying to avoid me. Whatever it was, I had to tell him what was on my mind.

After a lot of stupid excuses he finally gave in. I told him I was crushing on him. This was exactly how I said it “Amir, since I first saw you, the day you saved Teemah from that ball, I fell in love with with you, wallahi I’ve been crushing on you.”

After I had finished saying what was on my mind, I regretted what I had said, but the deed had been done. I couldn’t even read his facial expression.
