Our family has known Abdu's family for three months now and Abdu and I have liked each other for three months...Well I like him. Idek if he likes me though😥. I told Mo and Dalia abt everything and they swore not to tell a soul. Right now, we were at our house and it was Abdu's 19th birthday. I got him an iPhone XR. It was 19001 dollars in Sudanese currency- Which was NOT a lot in Canadian dollars. "Hey Abdu...I got you something." I said, walking up to him and blushing. Our parents looked at us in awe. Oh and did I mention that Mohamed was here (And he was Halal Dating Dalia✌)?! Oh and by the way, Mohamed and May turned 19 a month ago and Dalia turned 17 a few days ago actually. Mohamed bought her a bag full of Bath And Body Works stuff. Mama said that he should have bought things that were more expensive. Oh, Arab Moms🙄. "Thank you Mariam! You didn't have to!" He said happily. I couldn't believe that I was going to spend the rest of my life with Abdu...MY Abdu❤. Just then, I got a call from Marwan. UGH! This is the FIFTH one this week! What did he want?! "Sorry, I gotta answer this." I said, dashing into my room. "What do you WANT?" I asked bored. "Calm down. Wassup?" He asked. "The SKY." I said and ended the phone call. I took a deep breath and darted downstairs. "Sorry. Cousin called." I said. "Which one?" Mama asked, concerned. "Ok let's get the cake!" Baba said. I think he KNEW I was talking to Marwan😩. We cut the cake and Abdu sat beside me. "Hey." He said and nudged me. "Hey- Oh wait! You got a little something on your nose." I said and put a bit of icing on his nose. He did it back to me. "I lo-" He started. "You know what I mean, right?" He smirked and I nodded. "I do too. So much." I said. We ate our cake, then it was time for them to leave. "Ahhhh what a day!" I said, then flopped on my bed. Everyone was in bed already. I decided to turn my phone on and read a book on Wattpad. I was reading With You (Adam Saleh Fanfiction) by . It reminded me of Dalia, so I connected my Airpods and called her on Houseparty. She picked up! "Hey girl!" She yawned. "How is it with your man?" She asked. "Are you sleepy?" I started and she shook her head. "How about you and my brother? Whatspoppin'?" I asked. "Don't mind me just watchin'. Haha! Oh Marwan is online, can I invite him to the House?" Dalia asked. Ugh nooooooooo! "Yea of course." I said, swishing my thoughts away. I REALLY didn't want to talk to HIM. "FINALLY we can talk! Wassup gang? And Mariam, why did you just decline the call so rudely?" He asked, offended. "It was my boyfriend, Abdu's birthday, so I had to go because we were going to eat cake." I answered. "Your..Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend? Oh I didn't know." He said, in a funny question tone. "Yea. Ok I gotta get to bed. I love y'all fam." I said. They all laughed and I left the house. As in houseparty. Ok, time to SLEEP!!!!!!!!! I thought.

*TOMORROW*

"Ahhhh." I said. I got up and got dressed for school. I decided to wear an orange shirt-dress and some cuffed skinny jeans. "You gon' wear some makeup with that?" Mohamed asked me. I hugged him. "Harry Potter after school?" I asked him. He promised he'd watch it with me. "You know it girl! Sorcerer's Stone." He shot back. I put a little bit of nude lip tint on to top it off. Beeeeeeep! I heard from outside the window. It was ADBU! Abdu was driving me to school today. He finished Highschool already. "Ugh I'm sixteen. I wish I was nineteen like you so that I wouldn't have to go to school." I groaned, as I hopped into the car with Mohamed. Mohamed and him were going to My Place, a crêpe café, ONLY THE BEST! "Kay baiii! I love you both." I said. They waved their hands and I left them. Just then, I got a text. Ugh, Marwan.
