"I totally forgot how boring this class was" I groaned when we were walking out of the room.

"Well, the teacher is not that bad" Malik said.

"No the teacher isn't, the subject on the other hand..."

"Malik and I have an hour break now, will we see you during lunchbreak Amina?"

"Yeah, just rub it in that I still have an hour to go until lunchbreak" she said as her eyebrows plunged into a frown.

"Me? Pff I'm doing nothing habibti". I responded with a smirk.

I loved teasing her, I'm her best friend. I and I alone was allowed to do that.

"I love you" I shouted while Amina was walking to her class.

She raised her hand in response but didn't bother to say something back.

Malik needed to pick something up from his house so I decided to go with him. We were walking to the exit of the school and as soon as we walked through the doors, I got a text from a number I wasn't familiar with. I unlocked my phone and saw that it was Brody. Oh great the jerk just texted me. That was exactly what I needed. I almost forgot about his existence, but surprise here he is.

I looked at Malik and let him read the message.

"Wallahi I would move to China for this guy just so that I would never see, hear or smell him again (Yes smell, he has his own smell. I'm not saying it's a bad one. Just... oh well never mind)", I said while holding my head in my hands when Malik was reading the messages.

"This guy gives me a headache even if he isn't around" I kept on complaining.

"Just go Safia, I will see you at lunch", Malik said while he gave me my phone back.

"Ooh and good luck", he smirked and walked out of the building.

"Ha-ha verry funny Malik", I yelled at him.

I texted jerky boy back:

I made my way to the library and saw Brody sitting at a table with his laptop in front of him.

"Bismillah" I whispered before entering the library.

"Hey jerk... I mean Brody" I teased.

"Hey, joke thief" he said with a smirk.

This guy keeps on annoying me.

"So how are you Princess", he said while closing his laptop.

"My name is Safia and I'm fine", I responded annoyed.

"Fine-fine truce... For now?" he said offering his hand to shake.

No way I'm going to touch his perfect hand. Yes he had pretty hands, call me weird but the first thing I look at are hands. And his weren't that bad, not too big and they were clean.

"Truce" I said ignoring his hand.

"Are my hands dirty for you princess?", he asked putting his hand down.

"I'm not touching you or any other male that's not family", I responded. "Anyway lets start shall we"

We started reading the task and we had the choice on what animal we're basing our project on. For this project we had to choose an animal which we needed to do research on. And not just the basic things, everything. All the muscles and teeth the animal has, if they are protected species, what they consume on 1 day,... Ev-ery-th-ing.

"Let's base our project on the 'giraffe', Brody said more than asking.

"Or let me get a say" I snapped.

"Fine" Brody said raising his arms and dropping his pen.

"What do you think of the lion" I asked.

"Whetever you want princess" he smirked. God how much I wanted to slap that smirk off his face.

"Oh God you're so annoying, stop calling me princess or I'm leaving"

"Okay okay I'll stop pri-Safia", he said thinking he was funny.

I heavily breathed in and out so I wouldn't snap.

"Let's just continue, okay.. so the lion. Just search what that animal eats and where it's mostly common" I said

He nodded and opened his laptop again, I heard him typing on his keyboard.

I loved teasing her, the way she reacts is different. She is different in some kind of other-universe-way.

She still hates me though and I had no idea why. I could ask her now that she was sitting in front of me.

"Hey, can I ask you something" I began.

She looked up and looked at me with her green/grey eyes and then broke eye contact and focused back on her book.

"Sure" she said while looking at her book.

"It's obvious that you can't stand me, so what did I ever do to you?" I asked.

I heard her breathing out heavily and then she looked up.

"You really have no idea, do you?"

I shook my head in respons.

She broke eye contact again and started turning the pages of the book she took from the bookshelf earlier.

"I'm on this school since grade 7. I guess you'll have to figure out the rest all by yourself. You think you can do that or is a handsome face all you got" she said.

"Did you just call me handsome?" I smiled.

"The main thing is that I just called you dumb" she smirked.

"Fair enough."

I've decided to let her be and to focus on our project. She wouldn't hate me without having a valid reason. I must have done something to her. The thing I was shocked about is that she started at this school way before I did. I never saw her in the 9th or 10th grade anyway.

After an hour of torture I decided to figure out how Safia knew me. I made my way to the reception room and asked the receptionist for my class schedule of this and the past years. On there, you could find all the classes and all the names of the students who took which class.

Okay, figuring out who Safia is with Brody;

Step 1: look for the classes I follow/followed and look through the name of the students.

Step 2: look for Safia's name.

Problem 1: there are 2 Safia's

Problem 2: I don't know her last name.

Great.. I'm stuck.

Okay okay think Brody think.

There are 2 Safias', one is called 'Safia Bourdini' and the other one 'Safia Selemani'. The Bourdini girl follows geography, history, biology and physics with me. The Salami I mean Selemani girl (I just high fived myself in my head ha-ha) follows biology and mathematics with me. Well I'm stuck again, I only know that we follow biology together because of the project. I didn't have any of the above classes this year yet.

*168292 years later*

Wait a second, I know the guy I've seen with Safia... He's pretty popular and plays soccer at school.

His name is Malik Drilbi. I took my phone out and opened facebook. I hope that girl has facebook. I went to Malik's page and checked his friends. I typed in 'Safia' and a few Safias' appeared but I immediately recognized the real Safia, the Safia I do my project with. The Safia with green eyes. Her name was 'Safia Bourdini', which surprised me because I have a lot of classes with her. So why haven't I noticed her before? I decided to send her a friend request just to tease her even more. I knew that the chance of her accepting the request was small but if it was going to make her uncomfortable than I was doing it with pleasure.

I wanted to put my phone back in my pocket but I got a text from Natalie. Natalie, dear friends, is a beautiful girl I met at a party yesterday. May I say that she was totally my type; brown hair, skinny, beautiful legs and perfect teeth.

I texted back and walked to the canteen. My friends called me over the second I got there. I took my food and went straight to the table were my friends were sitting.

I took my food and searched for an empty table. I sat down and took my phone out as soon as I found one. I started scrolling on facebook and twitter. After I sat down for 10 minutes, I saw Malik and Amina walking my way. They also sat down and Amina immediately started complaining about how boring the last hour was. We were talking about random stuff when I received a notification from facebook. It was a friend request, and yes I know what y'all are thinking. It was the jerk.

Does he really think I would accept his friend request? According to Amina it was childish not to accept him. I call it a 'jerk free place'.

"I'll see", I said.

At a certain moment I heard Brody talking behind me, I recognized his voice. I turned around and saw him talking with the other jerks of school. He saw me looking his direction and smiled. He's so wrong if he thinks that I'm going to smile at him while he was hanging out with his co-jerks. I turned back around and continued doing what I loved. Eating..

"Safia he's trying you know. You should talk to him about your past" Malik suggested.

"I want him and him alone to figure out why I would never see him as my friend", I responded.

I took my last bite and wiped my mouth clean. I then continued scrolling on facebook.
