Peace at last.
I came back home. I was so happy. I wanted to jump high. I couldn't express my emotions.

"What happened next?"

"Was everything okay then?"

"Come on Maheen, tell us."

"I can't wait!"

I can see everyone jumping and cheering in excitement. I'm still standing front of the whole class.

"Thank you Maheen! You may have your seat now." Mr.Simpson says with a huge smile on his face. He points out towards my seat.

I sit on my seat. I hear someone speak from behind. "Hey Maheen!" I turn around to see it's Sumaiya. "Hi!" I put my hand forward to meet her. Sumaiya was my best friend. She was from Bangladesh but she had been living in America from the last two years because her dad shifted. I liked to talk to her.

"Long time no see, Maheen." She says. We still have our hands tied together. "I told you not to leave us. This all happened because you left us!" She chuckles.

"Ahaha, I know, right?" I wink.

A guy enters the classroom with his hands up in the air and screams, "The Sleepy-head's back!"

It was Ayaan. And as usual, he was late. He missed my story. But I didn't care. He already knew that. After all, he was a message freak.

"Hey Maheen!" Ayaan waves his hand and comes to me. He high fives and says, "I can't believe my 'Amkae' bitch came back. Welcome back to America." He says in a men's voice.
"Ayaan, you're late again! I've finished telling my story!" I giggle. So does Sumaiya.

"Ahem.." He goes away waving his head.

Mr.SleepyHead.
