Rayaan's P.O.V

"Ray are you okay?" Sophia asked sounding a bit worried

"Sophie someone saw me!" I shrieked out waving my hands in the air

"Saw what? what did you do?" she demanding to know sounding alarmed

"Saw me doing it, when I called you." I breathed out still in panic mode

"Oh my Allah don't tell me you did it in public." she stated when she realized what i was talking about once I nodded she held her hand to her heart and her eyes were wide open.

"It was... I couldn't help it ...I had to... I...I that's not the point I think they recorded it." trying to tell her that this might be the end to our dream before we even got the chance to start.

"Recorded it? You think? Ya Allah do you know them? Ray I don't know if I should laugh or lock you up and hunt them down before our parents find out where were you when all this happened?" she asked putting on her black overhead abaya and niqab that was by the couch she was leaning on.

"Where are you going?" I asked a bit worried because she looked like she was on a mission

"Hunting them down. And making them erase it. even if I have to walk them with my shoe to make them delete that Video I will." She stated looking very serious. I looked rethinking her mental state at that point because no normal person would do that to a complete stranger

"Who are you and what have you done to my Sophia?" because at that moment she didn't seem like my Sophia, my Sophia wasn't ever the rash one I usually was. She was more of the calm cautious one. That's why we balanced each other out. She's usually the person that gets me out of trouble but that dos't seem like the case now. I'm going to have to step in an percent her from going to jail for assault.

"Ray you are being ridicules come on let's go and out of my way so we can leave and catch up to them. Before the disappear." She said trying to scoot me over like the decision was final.

"No." I said trying to sound firm, only to see the look she was giving me said that if I didn't move soon there was going to be some damage.

"No? Why Ray you know it's my responsibility to make sure you don't mess up that's what sisters are for."

"It's my responsibility to keep you from doing stupid things you would regret. That's what sisters are for." I countered back feeling a bit satisfied

"Ray move." The look on her face demanded that if I didn't I would regret it. So I moved knowing this will go down really bad. She opened the door and help it open for me to pass.

Just as I got out of our apartment into the hall way I saw them coming in. There they were just across  our apartment both of them; the one with long hair that I couldn't tell if it was light brown or blonde was now in a ponytail since the last time I saw him. He was looking straight at us with his grey eyes. He was the one who was holding up his phone filming me just minutes ago. He looked somewhat amused seeing us infant of him, He seemed to be smiling at me directly and avoiding too look at Sophia. He didn't look that much taller than me The other one had dark coffee brown out of control curled hair that looked like he just woke up and just ran his fingers through it which he did when he spotted us with his warm brown eyes not many people looked like they could rock the beard without the mustache he looked so MashaAllah with his beard not many people can rock Sunnah beared look but he did.

"As-salaamu 'Aliekum" the bearded guy said to us as the other one said "Salaam".

"Wa 'Aliekum Salaam" I murmured after Sophia. Then I reached out and poked her back with my pointer finger to send a message that it was them and she seemed to have got it.

"Do you know my sister?" Sophia has asked demanding an answer

"Sister no, we just met her at the quick stop and she misunderstood that he took a picture of her when he was playing with his flash-" the breaded guy started explaining

"Man way to sell a brother out." And was rudely interrupted by is 'friend' who I am beginning to dislike by the second. He unnerved me.

"-light. Did you and your family just move in to the building?" the breaded guy asked us completely ignoring is companion.

"No-" I started off but Sophia interrupted

"Yes. Just two weeks ago. Alhamdulillah that was a misunderstanding, it was nice meeting you brothers but my sister and I will be going supply shopping now because our classes will be starting soon InshaAllah. BarakaAllahu feel." she finished off dragging me by the arm through the small hallway and out the building

"Sophie you lied." I stated once we were out of earshot

"No, I didn't. "

"yes you did.."

"No, I didn't. We are going supply shopping and I didn't want them to know we were living alone for safety reasons. We are two females without a muhrram at the moment. That's why I don't want anyone to know we are living alone. Plus we are family and you are my sister.'

"I have t thought of it that way."

"That's why you have me Alhamdulillah." She signed

We tried to find the nearest bus stop using my phone's GPS but seemed like we were going in circles until my phone died thank you Siri and poor sense of direction. But thank God Sophia had brought her phone after a few minutes finally walking to the correct bus stop the bus was already there and we were able to catch it. Sophia made sure to ask the bus driver if we were on the right bus and to drop us off to our mall destination. We went to a store called Walmart and bought notebooks, pens, pencils, folders, binders and a lot of other things we thought we needed considering we didn't have a supply list. Rather be over prepared then under prepared.

"Can we stop please stop at caribou, I need coffee." I told her finally cracking I didn't have my evening coffee and that was abnormal to my system.

"Okay a quick stop, because I can't deal with Crancky Ray tonight." She said making me a bit happy since the incident. We got our coffee and came out.

"OH, No! No! No!" Sophie shrieked

"What's the matter?" I asked a worried that something might have hurt her.

"This can't be happening ...This can't be happening." She repeat as she dropped her lovely coffee and shook he phone

"Sophie was wrong?" I asked shocked the she dropped coffee and was acting like a lunatic in the middle of the mall.

"My phone is dead." She finally wailed defeated

"Oh my Allah."

"Yes."

"How are we..."

"Going to ..."

"Get home."

"Now?" We said the last part together

This was an official disaster....
