"هذا اينن مع هالجاكيت"
Jana said as she went through my closet while I was still dressed in my robe.
She took out a white black shirt with an olive green bomber jacket that I'd never worn and pair of ripped black jeans. I never thought of this combination.
I quickly changed into them in the bathroom of my bedroom and when I'd just left, she pulled out her bag of makeup and wiggled her eyes at me.
"امبيه لا كلّش مو متعودة"
I told her as I sat on my bed.
"حبيبتي بتشوفينه هناك، غصبا عليج بتحطين مكياج. يالله غمضي"
She told me and I did as I was told.
We were going to Arabica, where according to Jana, Fahad would hang out every Thursday at 8PM. It was 7:30 now.
"يمدي جنوي؟"
I asked her.
"اي ماني حاطتلج مكياج عروس بس شي بسيط"
She said as I felt her work on my eyes.
"متأكدة بيكون هناك؟"
I asked her.
"حبيبتي انا كل اسبوع هناك بعد"
She said.
"بطلي"
She told me and I opened my eyes to see her smile, which were a very pretty pair of almond-shaped eyes framed by thick lashes and thin, well-cleaned eyebrows.
Her nose was small and her lips looked bigger than what they would look like naturally. Definitely fillers but who cared?
She looked hot.
"Perfect, n6ray ma khala9t"
She said, now working on my cheeks then my nose. I was worried we'd be out of time.
"Lipstick and we're done," she announced as she uncovered her Mac lipstick from her bag.
She lined my lips first before filling them in.
"امبيه تشوقين"
She said.
No one had ever told me that.
I hurriedly ran to the mirror and I was surprised, it was me but ten times prettier. My eyes were wider, my nose was smaller, my lips looked plump and attractive while my cheekbones were more prominent. I was so surprised and happy that I hugged her.
"لازم تعلميني thank you جد"
I said, I didn't need Danah anymore when I had my own stylist and makeup artist for a friend.
"شدعوه ما سوّيت شي، انزين يالله خلنمشي"
She said as I stuffed my feet in my Golden Goose to tie in the car.
We ran to her car which was parked outside my house. My yorkie Rosegold barked as she saw us walk to the car.
"Bye Rosegold!" I said to her.
"Umbay itshawiiig," Jana added.
"9a7?" I replied.
Thank God my father loved dogs and approved of the idea of having a puppy outside the house. My mother was still not happy and Danah...well, she was Danah. She didn't care about anything that didn't affect her.
"Arabica," she told the driver and he nodded, familiar with her usual destination.
"امبيه اموت على هالأغنية"
She said as she plugged her phone into the AUX cord.
Rashed blasted through the speakers as she sang along to the song loudly, and I hoped we wouldn't get chased by guys from how wild she was acting, but she was definitely fun.
I went on snapchat to check my stories, pressing on Rawan's.
Happy birthday ghalooouy
She captioned, celebrating our friend's birthday party, which I wasn't invited to. Out of sight, out of mind. This time, I wasn't jealous.
I was off to see Fahad.
The driver slowed down as soon as we reached the street leading to Arabica. It was crowded right outside it and I felt insecure again.
"حنى صج صج شلون شكلي؟"
I asked her.
"من صجج؟ اقولج تشوقين والله"
She said as she took off her jacket, sitting in a short sleeved low-cut stretch shirt tucked in a pair of skinny jeans that really flattered her figure and curves. We got out of the car and walked together to Arabica, my heart was racing. Would he recognize me from school? Would he find me attractive?
My eyes roamed around all the guys standing outside until they fell on him...Fahad.
He looked really attractive in a pair of jeans and a navy long sleeved shirt. He was laughing with a pair of his friends and drinking his iced coffee, not bothering to turn left or right. Was he really that uninterested?
"شفتيه؟"
Jana wiggled her brows at me and I giggled.
"انتي عجيبة"
I told her and she shrugged.
"ادري"
She said as we reached the entrance now.
I could feel people stare at us, but mostly at Jana. She was gorgeous and attractive especially with showing off her curves by the way she dressed. My heart was beating faster and faster as I approached Fahad who was standing at the door. I could feel him turn to us now and so I avoided his eyes, looking anywhere but at him until we reached the entrance.
He actually turned...
"شقلتلج؟ امبيه شوفي ويهج شلون قلب احمر بس"
She said with a chuckle.
"جب جب"
I said as I nudged her in the ribs.
We walked though the line of people waiting and passed the tables right next to us to get to the back of the line. However, a guy who looked to be in his mid twenties waiting before us strayed from the line to say hi to some guy behind me.
Jana looked at me just as confused as I was, should we wait for him or should we wait in line anyway?
Jana grabbed my hand pulled me away from the line until he returned, and he looked at us confused. He was pretty hot with his light eyes and strong jawline. I felt Jana's hand grip mine tighter.
"تفضلو"
He said with a smile, extending a hand for us to join the line before him.
"مشكور بس انت كنت ناطر اول"
Jana said and he smiled brighter.
"مشكورين"
He said as he went ahead of us and Jana mouthed "hot" as soon as we looked at each other. I couldn't help but chuckle.
My eyes went back at Fahad by the door, busy talking to his friends. Was he really that hard to please? In a way it did make sense, he would be all over Rawan or Jana by now.
"بنات شنو بتطلبون؟"
The hot guy in front of us said and Jana and I looked at each other.
"نعم؟"
Jana said, shaking her head in confusion.
"خلوها عليّ والله اخرتكم"
He said and Jana gaped at him.
"لا والله عادي مشكور"
She said.
"لا لا ترديني"
He said with a smile, placing a hand on his chest. Jana definitely melted at this point.
"Umm, a spanish latte?"
She said to the barista.
"ورفيجتج؟"
He asked, looking right at me.
"Me too, I'll have a spanish latte please," I said.
"Thank you wallah," Jana told him with a smile.
"حياج"
He said as he handed his credit card to the barista.
He joined his friends at the table behind us while we waited in the corner.
"امبيه اللي صار صج ولا لا؟"
Jana said, biting her lip.
"صح؟؟"
I said, but my eyes darted back at Fahad, who was busy on his phone, while Jana kept sneaking glances at her new crush.
I pulled out my phone and went on his Tumblr that I was too scared to follow.
"؟tumblrاطرشله شي ب"
I asked Jana.
"لحظة تعرفينه؟"
She said with her eyes wide open, and a sly smile appeared on her face.
"لا قصدي فهد"
I said with a chuckle and she huffed.
"اي كيفج"
She said.
"امبيه شنو اكتب؟"
I asked her and she grabbed my phone from me. She began to type into my phone before handing it to me.
"Good?" she asked me.
3ash min shafekkk!
"Umm I guess," I said.
I took a deep breath and handed the phone back to her.
"امبيه ماقدر"
I told her.
"it's anonymous شفيج يالخبلة"
She said and I nodded, hitting send. I gulped.
This was so nerve-wracking.
I looked back at him through the window but he wasn't on his phone. I hoped he wouldn't see this too late.
"Spanish lattes?" the barista said, and we walked to get our orders. The guy who paid for us came over at the same time.
"بالعافية"
He said with a smile, mostly to Jana. Of course, why would he be interested in me?
Maybe if I dressed how Jana was dressing he'd look at me too.
"الله يعافيك"
She replied with a grin and a pair of flirtatious eyes. The girl was good and I knew with her I might, just might be able to get Fahad.
"عادي نوقف داخل؟ ادري فهد برة بس بتشوفينه بالمدرسة هذا مادري اذا بشوفه مرة ثانية"
She whispered to me.
"اي اوكي"
I told her. I was a bit bummed though, I wanted Fahad to turn towards me to figure out who this mystery sender was. I guessed Jana really liked this guy. I followed her to the end of the coffee shop where we found a table to ourselves.
"Tara he's really hot," she gushed, and her cheeks were turning red.
"Oooo," I said as I wiggled my brows.
"Chub chub," she said, rolling her eyes. I was facing the wall so I couldn't see him.
My phone pinged on the table and I grabbed Jana's hand to squeeze it.
"رد؟"
She asked me.
"ماقدر اشوف"
I said as I handed my phone to her.
"بس قال عاشت ايامك حتى ما سأل منو"
Jana said.
"جد؟"
I replied, snatching the phone from her hand.
"قلتلج ما يعطي ويه"
Jana said.
"شسوي؟ "
I said, I also wanted to brag about him in front of Rawan. To let her know that I won him over.
"انا اعرف، امشي معاي"
She said with a smile and I gulped, what was she going to do? I followed her anyway, even past the guy who got us our drinks until we left the coffee place. Fahad was on my right now and Jana suddenly gasped and turned to a guy a bit older than us right behind us.
"لا غلطان اخوي"
She said loud enough for Fahad to turn to us. The guy who Jana was talking to looked so confused.
"نعم؟ شسويت"
He said, shocked.
Did anything really happen or was Jana making this all up?
If she was, that was a bit cruel.
"تعرف شنو"
She said and Fahad began to approach them, closing in on me to the point where I could smell his cologne.
God, he smelled so good too.
"جنى شصار؟"
He whispered to Jana, and by now everyone standing around us was glancing at us.
"خلاص مابي اكبر الموضوع، وين السايق؟"
She said. The guy gaped at her like he was still shocked but she walked away from him, and I walked with her past Fahad but he followed us, Jana anyway. I couldn't believe my eyes.
"منور كلمي السايق"
She said as she handed me the phone that was dialing anyway.
He picked it up within two seconds.
"الو؟...اي بليز تعال جدام ارابيكا"
I told the driver through the phone before handing it to Jana.
"فهد والله ارجع ماله داعي توقف معانا"
Jana said as she looked at me and I thought I saw a ghost of a smile on her lips.
"انتو بس ركبو السيارة وانا ارد"
He said, but I noticed that he never turned to look at me.
"اوه فهد هذي منيرة معانا بالمدرسة، حولت هالسنة"
She said while wiggling her brows at me.
"هلا والله"
Fahad said, as he turned to me, but he was uninterested.
The way his eyes met mine sent shivers up and down my spine yet I felt warmth rush through me at his glance...everything felt right again.
"امبيه لحظة جنه هناك؟"
Jana interrupted, and all of a sudden she walked away, leaving me alone with Fahad.
I couldn't help but stare at her.
"مادري قصدها الحقها ولا اوقف بمكاني؟"
I said out loud and he chuckled to my surprise.
Suddenly her driver pulled up at the sidewalk in front of me.
"هذي وين راحت؟"
I said as I looked around and he chuckled again, amused at the whole thing.
"!لا تضحك"
I blurted out to which he laughed even louder and I started to laugh too. Jana now approached me and slowed down as she saw us laughing together, but then a playful smile appeared on her face.
"يالله منّور"
She said as she looked at me, like she was dying to know what was going on.
"يالله"
I said.
"مع السلامة"
I told Fahad.
"Thank you!" Jana said.
"حياكم"
Fahad replied with a smile.
"يا حمارة قوليلي كل شي الحين"
She said through her teeth as we walked to the car. I felt my face burn up...
We sat in the car and I told her what had happened, to which she gasped and gushed.
"جذاااابة"
She said, and a huge smile appeared on her face.
"والله"
I said.
"عطيني موبايلج دقيقة"
She said.
"ليش؟"
I replied.
"بتشوفين"
She said. I unlocked my phone and handed it to her.
"follow back الحين بيطلعله ودام عرف منو انتي لازم يسويلج ،follow والحين سويتله...unfollow سويتله"
She said, handing me my phone which was on Tumblr.
I looked at her and I felt my jaw drop.
She was good.
Would he follow me back? I couldn't wait to know.
Happy reading,
