Saiid

a few days later

I walked into my house after being in work for hours, but finally, It's Friday so I could finally rest. I couldn't tutor Rasha today because I had a meeting with the other teachers and the principal. Honestly, I loved tutoring Rasha. We were always joking and sometimes we forgot about the tutoring thing and we just spent our time talking.

We get along very well and we have it very fun when we are together. She is different from the other students I've been tutoring, she is herself and never cares about what people think of her. While the other students wants to be accepted and wants to look cool in front of others. Most girls flirt with me and want to get closer to me, but Rasha isn't that type of girl. She knows how to act and she doesn't look like she ever disrespected herself and her scarf. She is the first girl I've begun to be interested in, not in that way though.

I mean like getting to know her more and I like talking to her, she always puts a smile on my face. I think I smile more with her than when I'm hanging out with my friends. I walk into the living room and see that my friends are sitting and watching TV. Yes, I live in a house with my friends. I moved in with them because I don't know, we just wanted to live together I guess? I love our house It's beautiful and perfect for all of us.

I live with Jaffar, Adnan, and Nadia. We all met in high school and we became close friends. Jaffar is Palestinian but born in London, he moved here when he was nine years old. Adnan is half Mexican and half Albanian, his mother is Mexican and his father is Albanian. And Nadia is born in the USA. Her mother is Persian, but her father is born in Iraq. Mac is a full American, he was born here and so was his parents. We have another best friend we met in high school, Yasin. But he has already started a family and lives with his wife.

He has a daughter, Nancy. She is five years old and she is so sweet, she isn't like her father at all, she is very happy and she could be really funny. Her father is always so serious and he isn't like Jaffar, Mac or Adnan, they are the type of guys who never takes life serious and spends it with having fun. He is the opposite, he takes life seriously and spends it in a good way. He's a CEO and owns a small company.

He fell in love with a girl named Sarah, he met her through Nadia. Nadia used to hate Sarah and Sarah hated her back, they fought and of course, Yasin got angry because Nadia is his best friend. He went to talk to Sarah, they started hating each other too. Somehow they fell in love with each other and they got married. It's sick, you could meet the person you'll spend your life anywhere and at any moment without you knowing. What if I have already met the person I'm going to marry? Nah that doesn't make any sense.

'' Looks like Einstein is back. '' Mac says and they all look at me. '' Hmm, why are you late? Met up with a hot chick? '' Jaffar winks at me. '' Bro, It's pretty light out. If Saiid would've done it he would've done it when It's dark out and at night. '' Adnan jokes, they all laugh while Nadia fake gagged. '' You're so nasty guys. '' She says. I shook my head and sat on the couch. '' I had a meeting. '' I tell them and they nodded. '' Well, you know It's Friday so wanna come with us to the club? '' Mac asks me, I sighed. '' Actually not today, I have a headache. '' I say and they laugh. '' Yeah sure, a headache. Shut up bro you're coming later with us. '' Jaffar frowns, I lean back at the couch and sighed.

later that day

'' Nadia you aren't coming with us. '' Mac crosses his arms, '' But I don't have anywhere to go, home is boring! '' She complains. '' Yeah, but what if a guy touches you or kidnaps you? You wouldn't want that right? '' Adnan says and she sighs. '' Where else would I go? '' She asks. '' What about Yasin & Sarah? '' I ask her and she shakes her head. '' I still hate that bitch, I mean how could Yasin fall for her? ''

Right, Nadia liked Yasin, or still do I guess. I think he liked her back a little bit but when he met Sarah all his focus was on her. '' Then just stay here! '' Jaffar says and storms out. She sighs, '' I hope you die! '' She says and storms into her room. '' Welp. '' Adnan says and we walk out. '' Who's car should we take? '' I ask them and they immediately look at me. Of course my car, I have a black expensive BMW car. '' Fine. '' I say and they got in. I got in the driver seat and started to drive. Then somehow I carved chips, and when I carve chips I crave chips. '' Guys I'm just going to buy something from Walmart. '' I tell them and they sight. '' Brooooooo. '' Mac frowns and I roll my eyes.

When we arrived at Walmart I told them to stay in the car, instead, they walked out of the car and started smoking. I walked into Walmart and went towards the chips. When I was there I saw a Muslim girl looking at the chips I'm going to buy, and of course who else could it be if it isn't Rasha? Suddenly a big smile appeared on my face, I walked over to her quietly. '' Rasha. '' I shout, she flinched and turned around and threw the chips bag in my face. She looked at me confused. '' Mr.Bashar! I thought you were a kidnapper! '' She says, I furrow my eyebrows at her. '' Kidnapper? Who would ever kidnap you? If a kidnapper ever met you he would think that YOU are the kidnapper. '' I chuckled and she rolled her eyes.

'' You know many kidnappers have wanted to kidnap me because I'm cute. But thank god I beat their asses off and you know they got scared and ran away. '' I broke out laughing, this girl isn't clear in her mind. '' Whatever, don't trust me then. '' She crosses her arms. She took the chips bag on the floor and put it back and took another bag. '' Let me buy it for you. '' I smile at her and she narrows her eyes at me. '' You think poor? Oh my, I thought you were better than this Mr.Bashar! '' She crosses her arms and walks over to the cashier desk. I shook my head and took a chips bag and walked after. When I was at the cashier desk I saw that she was already at second in line and I was the fourth in line. I sighed, she turns her face at me and sticks her tongue at me.

Rasha

When it was finally my turn I put my card in that thing, you know that thing that you put your card in, what is it even called? Whatever, I dialed my code and pressed the button Done. '' I'm sorry your card doesn't work. '' The cashier said, I looked up at her. '' Really why? '' I ask her looking all clueless. Oh my, this is so embarrassing, everyone is staring at me! I swear I'm going to cry, I hate being embarrassing. '' Because you don't have enough money. '' She says, WHAT THE BUT THE CHIPS IS ONLY 1 DOLLAR!! I turn around at Mr.Bashar who is laughing, I give him a please help me! look. I turn around at the cashier again, '' Th- ''

'' Babe, you forgot the other chips bag. Do you always forget that we have two kids, and we're about to have our third? '' Mr.Bashar winks at me. I cover my mouth, WHAT THE FUCK!!! He passes the other chips bag to the cashier. He looks at my card. '' Baby, that's your old card, Did you forget your card at home? '' He asks, I suddenly nodded my head. '' Well, let's use my card. '' He puts his hand on my shoulder. He pays and we take our bags. The cashier looks at me confused and I feel everyone's eyes on us. As soon as we get out of Walmart I kicked him in the leg. '' Ouch! What was that for?! '' He frowns.

'' BABE? THIRD CHILD? ARE YOU FUCKING CLEAR!? YOU EMBARRASSED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! '' I yell and he burst out into laughter. '' No I didn't, I saved you. '' He chuckles as I pushed him so hard that he almost tripped. '' Okay fine then. '' He said and took the chips from my hand, '' Mr.Bashar! Give me back my chips! '' I yelled and he shook his head. '' Your chips? It's for our second kid. '' He jokes and I felt how hot my face became. I ran after him but he was to fast, '' We should call our first kid Adel and our second Ameer and our third Mohammed. '' He laughs and runs backward. I stop for a second and look at him with my eyebrows furrowed. '' Why only boys? '' I ask and he laughed until he couldn't catch his breath. '' You want girls too? '' He laughs and I cover my face of embarrassment.

'' Saiid? '' Someone says, I took my hands off my face and see three guys looking at me. '' Who is that? '' A white looking boy points at me, don't guys have any manners? '' Um... guys this is Rasha, my student. '' He says and they widen their eyes at me. '' I swear you look much older. '' A guy who looks middle eastern says and walks towards me, he shakes hands with me. '' I'm Jaffar, this is Adnan and this is Mac. '' He says pointing at his friends. They smile at me and I smile back, '' What's wrong with you Saiid? You look like you can't catch your breath. '' Mac says and I chuckle.

'' Um... It's nothing. '' He says and passes me the chips. '' Thank you Mr.Bashar, I'll pay you back! '' I say and he shakes his head, '' It's fine Rasha, don't mind it. '' He smiles at me, I feel my stomach tickling. Weird? '' Where do you live Rasha? '' Adnan asks, '' Five or ten minutes away from here. '' I tell them. '' Let me drive you home. '' Mr.Bashar says and I look at him with my eyes widen. '' No It's fine, I don't live far away I promise. '' I say and he shakes his head. '' Rasha- '' Mr.Bashar tries to say something but I interrupt him. '' See you in school Mr.Bashar! It was nice meeting you guys bye! '' I say and run home with the chips bag in my hand.

Saiid

I look at her running home, a smile appears on my face. '' I've never seen you laugh so much with us as when you're with her. '' Adnan says, I look at them all crossing their arms.

'' Okay now you're overreacting, let's just leave now. ''
