Day 2

Yeah,so i woke up once again to the sound of adhan and fought off shaytaan so that i could go earn some thawaab. A girl gotta pray you know. After swalah and my daily quran recitation,i got ready for school. Today i was wearing a blue loose plaid shirt that reached my knees, jeggings and sneakers. To top it all, i wore a black hijab, the messy way but it covered my aura.

Nabeel drove us to school like a maniac and thankfully we reached on time. We met Safia and Ahmed at the door and we entered together. Nabeel and Ahmed went to their class while Safia and i went to ours. We had a class with Shaila. The first lesson was Biology.

We learnt all about photosynthesis which by the way is so amazing. Our teacher went like," see how the plants get their food," and i was like,"Mashaallah!!!! How can people not accept Islam after knowing all this." But then our teacher was a non-muslim and a small fight did erupt on whether photosynthesis occurred naturally or because of the will of Allah, all thanks to me. So when the bell rang, i slunk out quietly pretending that i did not start the fight.

The rest of the lessons were like so boring i could not help but sleep in class. I could not wait for school to finish because us friends were going to the mall and i just could not wait.

Finally the last bell rang and i literally ran out. I went to stand near Nabeel's car which was next to Ahmed's car. The rest of the crew came out and we decided that Shaila, Nabeel, Yumna and i would go in my brother's car while Safia, Ahmed and Maha would go in Ahmed's car.

We drove to our favourite mall and there we parted ways. Ahmed and Nabeel went their own way while my friends and i went our own way.

Our first stop was the coffee place where we ordered our drinks and food. Like come on, food comes first, everybody knows that. Our food came and wallahi it was so delicious it left my tastebuds tingling for more. It was like the best thing i had ever tasted. Of course we also took some tumblr pictures as well, like the one below.

As we were leaving that place i tripped on something. Allah knows what i tripped on but i landed on all fours and face to face with the floor. "Hey floor," i muttered silently. Suddenly something came between me and the floor. It was a hand. I followed it to see who it belonged to. To my surprise it belonged to this very cute boy and i thought Mashaallah. I was about to give him my hand so that he could help me up but then i realized that if i could get up myself i might as well as do it instrad of letting him touch me unnecesarily. If i was injured badly, that would have been another story.

I got up and dusted my clothes I told him that I was a muslim and he was not allowed to touch me he said,"it's ok ,my bad!" and gave me the most charming smile and walked away. Most of the guys at my school are jerks. If it was them here instead of this good looking brother, they would be laughing their asses off. How i do not like them!!

I hurried after my friends and caught up with them we decided to hit the clothing shops. I was in need of more clothes and it was such a problem to look for decent clothes nowadays, like all the clothes where either short or too tight. After roaming around and moving from shop to shop i finally found some decent dresses and some tops. And of course i had to buy some hoodies and sweatpants. Those are obvioulsy a girl's best friends. I also bought some snacks and movies and some decor for the sleepover i would be having on Saturday. I was so excited for it since all my friends would be there.

We got home just after Asr after dropping my friends off at their places. I prayed my Asr swalah and sat down to do all the work i had not done in school since of course i had been sleeping. As soon as i finished that, i began on my homework which thankfully wasn't much and i was done by Maghrib. I prayed Maghrib swalah quickly and went towards the kitchen to help my mom cook dinner.

Suddenly the door bell rang and i went in the direction of the door. I thought it was my father back from work so i did not bother with a hijab but when i opened the door to my surprise it was my neighbour...and behind her was her son who was my age.

I got so embarassed and did not know whether to invite them in or run away because i did not have a hijab on. I just invited them in because it was not really my fault. I grabbed a towel that was nearby and placed it on my head in a feeble attempt to cover my hair. As they passed by me, Said(my neighbour's son), muttered,"it's ok, i won't look," while smirking.

I mumbled a Jazakallah and ran to my room. After putting a hijab on i went to join them and saw my mom already there. My neighbour was inviting my family to her house on Thursday for dinner. I smiled when i heard that because i loved her three year old twins. They were so adorable. Whenever she would be busy somewhere i usually go and babysit them since Said cannot exactly be trusted with kids. The dinner was no big surprise because we often invited each other for meals.

After they left, i helped my mom with dinner which was pizza. Actually all i did was the toppings. I'm not really good at cooking or baking but i try sometimes. My mom encourages me a lot too. Don't really know what i would do without her. Alhamdulillah for having awesome parents, a loving brother who annoys me sometimes but mostly Alhamdulillah because i am a muslim.

And that marks the end of the second day.
