The school was not that bad. Jessie, Kate, and Natalie became my good friends. The only thing that was making me upset was the memories of my dadoo and my home.
Today Sarah was planning to skip school. I was walking in the aisle with Hadi. I didn't know why I was too nervous. I was biting my lips and rubbing my both palms together. I knew it was weird.
"Terrorist, a towel head terrorist " a blonde guy shouted from behind. I heard loud chuckles and other disgusting comments.
My body froze for a while. I felt my eyes pricked from tears. I tried to keep it in but they slipped. This was the first time when someone bullied me for my religion.I had never experienced this in my country. Undoubtedly, my India is a secular country, I started missing my country, my motherland more.
I silently made my way towards my class wiping off my tears.
Daniel's POV
Anabia's POV The next day in school was exhausting. Our Maths Teacher gave us a wonderful surprise. Test...A freaking surprise test...I love Maths though I was average in Maths. "How was the test?" Natalie and Kate asked me and I gave them a frown look."I wish, I could pass" I scrunched my face. "I'm gonna fail " Jessie pouted."I guess, I'll top," Natalie said dusting her shoulder."You mean you gonna compete Daniel " Kate rolled her eyes. "We all know that he is damn good in Maths " Kate scrunched her nose.
Daniel's POV Today I wanted to skip school as Emily was staying at her aunt's place. But boys would kill me. So I silently got ready for school."Daniel " I took my last bite of the sandwich when Maria's annoying voice hit my ears."What," I said in a sluggish tone."Today I'm visiting my mom with Sarah and Hadi. So the car is not free. You have to drive Ana to the school" she said eying me and Ana who was standing there nervously biting her lips. "Sorry... I can't.. I've to pick my friends" it was a complete lie as I used to pick Emily and today she was not coming.
Sarah texted me that they were planning to stay at her grandma's place. Dad was on a business trip. So I was alone with Anabia.I was watching Netflix when my stomach grumbled. I sighed and made my way towards the kitchenAs I was about to enter the kitchen, I stopped, realizing She was already there, trying to cook something.She felt my presence as she tiltedher head. She was wearing a pink long shirt with white beads and white trousers. Her head was wrapped in a pink scarf. I realized that she was hot... no hot was not a suitable word... She was beautiful...She was biting her lips nervously as I was staring at her continuously without uttering any word.Why I was checking her out like this."You want something?" I came back to my senses as I heard her angelic voice. Angelic..really???"Umm..
Anabia's POV Kate and Natalie were preparing a surprise birthday party for Jessie. They invited Kyle too. I was still looking for a perfect gift for Jessie but I guessed I had bad taste. This was not my fault, I didn't have any friends in India, I had never gone to any birthday party yet. I decided to take the help of Sarah. She chose a beautiful gold bracelet. It was really expensive, I hesitated a little but Sarah insisted to buy it. Sarah paid the bill. I must say Sarah was really sweet. She was just like a sister. I asked permission from Uncle Afzal to visit Jessie's home. Sarah was also invited so we both were helping each other wit
"Lily got in a fight with Emily" Natalie came and blurted out. Her face showed slight fear and worries. I shrugged my shoulders. I had to do nothing with Emily or Lily."I guess Anabia you completed your dare " Jessie gave me a pitying look."Wh...whatt do you mean" I looked at them with confused eyes."Actually, Kyle was holding some grudges against Emily. So...maybe Kyle texted something from Daniel's phone...and.." Jessie said lowering her eyes and I jumped from my place."Are you kidding me... y'all knew this.? You guys can't do this to me..." fear was visible from my voice and eyes. Daniel had seen me in his room.I stomped my feet and walked away from them. A tear fell from my eye...I knew he won't spare me...Daniel's POV Emily called me urgently
After a few days, I became normal. Whenever he saw me, he ignored me... so did I.Jessie and Kyle apologized to me and I forgave them. I just didn't want to keep grudges against anyone.I got detention again cuz I was late. I was bending on my books when a voice interrupted me."Hey" it was Shuzaat, I gave him a fake smile."Detention....?" He laughed."I was late..." I made a frown face."Eh.. and I was using the phone in the classroom " he laughed.We settled down on our seat and chit chat a little."Uhmm" he cleared his throat."Huh " I raised my eyebrows to him."Uh...uhmm... I was thinking... can we go somewhere.... like on a coffee...or.. lunch" he said rubbing his temple nervously. He was asking for a date..."Umm...eh..." I didn't know how to tell him that I couldn't
Anabia's POV "Here she is " Natalie squealed and almost jumped from her seat when she saw me entering the classroom. "What happened that day... you guys are dating...huh...?" Jessie pulled my cheeks. "What" I rolled my eyes. I had no clue what they were talking about. "Mhmm... you and Shuzaat...you told me about the coffee date," Jessie said in a chirpy tone and I was shocked. How could this girl assume this...and she told everyone. "It's nothing like this " before I could explain myself to them Kate
Daniel's POV We won the match...I won the match..There was no limit to my happiness. Our team got selected for the next match. "Hey...I'm throwing a party at my place .. we are gonna celebrate our victory" Alex said with a huge grin."Are you kidding me.. Alex is throwing a party " Jace mocked him. "What.." Alex rolled his eyes. We all knew that he was the one who couldn't spend even a single penny for anyone. "Please invite some hot chicks too. It will be fun" Kyle winked at us."Really...? You're interested in some other chicks...
