I parked my car and rushed to the lecture hall. Alhamdulillah, I beamed happily because the lecturer is yet to arrive.

Sitting idle sucks, and Khadija isn't in sight,she would have lighten up the place with her cheerful chatter. my eyes kept lingering from one person to another when suddenly, someone tap me on my back, my heartbeat accelerated, and my palms got sweaty
'Don't be afraid,your Ibtisaam,just turn and see who it is' my inner voice said.
someone should gift my inner voice for she's doing a great job,
I turned only to see my bestfriend;khadija

" Gabiy(idiot)....you frightened me"I fumed in anger, like one more word I will strangle her

"Woah calm your horses mi lady. You're such a scaredy cat and stupid, why don't u turn ur back and see who it was instead of been terrified "she calmly stated like she's not the one who just threw an insult at me. I will let it slide, she's the bestie nah afterall

"Oops i tends to be myself sometimes, forgerrit. I'm just annoyed girl " and I narrated all what happened to her.

she started that stupid drama of hers

"Hey what's funny?"

"Ibti when are you going to stop that feisty act of yours, if chance permit am going to thank him"she chuckle,

"For???"i rolled my eyes at that

"For putting u in place" she said nonchalantly

"Im outside right" i replied sarcastically
"Instead of apologising, u're busy checking him out kai!Allah ya shirya"

"Ouch!! You won't side with me koh,  i'm hurt" I dramatically place hands on my chest feigning hurt

"Gerrout you dey crazy" she said

the class rep announced the arrival of our lecturer, we quickly went to take a seat and settled down. After what seems like forever, the boring lecture has come to end

"Pheww!!"khadee squealed

"Watsup gurl?" I asked her putting my book into my bag

"Prof. Muh'd Abba's lecture is one hell I swear.." she faked cleaning sweat on her forehead

"Chill girl it is over now..... how's iqraar,maheera,amani and inteesar, I haven't heard from them and I aren't that active on social media " I asked her concerned about the girls

"Let's just FaceTime them"she suggested

"Kay then" I said in a singing tone.

"Huhhhh" I yawned "let's get going it's almost 12:00 before i collapse here" I yawned again
"Ohk ooo" she said as we both stand up ready to go,we went direct to where we parked our cars and bid each other adieu not before promising to FaceTime each other after we are home.  I dialed kausar's line to asked whether she's done or not and she said she has evening afternoon class, so I hopped in and drove back home.

Few minutes later I arrived home. I met ya jiddarh in the living room typing something on her phone, perhaps she came to visit us, I tiptoed and jumped on her

(Ammiey's niece)

"Oh uhkti, ana fakhadtu ki jayyid"(i miss you so much) I cooed

" Wa iina(me too). Hey... when are you going to stop this childish act of yours?.. see you 're all grown up but you're acting like a child"

"Yaaaa Jiddarh pleaseee". I whined, bcoz I know her unending lectures

"Na you sabi,ehen ammi is Waiting for you, she is in her living room" she informed as she scrolled through her Instagram feed.
I wondered what's so interesting in her feed  that she gave full attention to it.
