THE HUSSAIN FAMILY.

She was still on bed and it's already past 7, school starts by 7:30
Her body outline can be seen on the 6 by 4 bed in the dim lighted room, the room was moderate in size, the walls in lilac and peach paint, same goes with the bed, wardrobe reading table,dressing mirror, the two seater sofa and the side drawers, it wasn't heavyly decorated nor furnished but looks neat as ever, just a typical neat room of a 16 year old girl,

Suddenly the lights went on and the sleeping girl squeezed her eyes, "Biggie is way past time, we will be late" said the boy of 15 that came in dressed smartly in his school uniform of white long sleeve shirt, maroon skinny like trouser, maroon and white polka dots neck tie, black moccasins and a marron blazer on his arm,
"Oh please anything but the lights" she muttred as she sat up, he ignored her and turned to the dressing mirror checking out his new crew hair cut, she hissed and bought her feet down "breakfast" she asked making a messy bun out of her black, wavy long hair,
"Her usual" he said as he now adjust his neck tie,
"Gross" she murmured as she stood up after putting on her furry lilac flipflops,
"I will never eat that witch's breakfast, is too gross and makes me nauseous" he said squeezing his face and still facing the mirror,
"That witch is your mother" she said from her closet
"Never" he mimicked a spat and added "my Mama is way too good to be call a cook, you know that"
"I know but we just have to make do with the new said mother and pray for the one Allah has taken, plus stay away from any of my perfumes" she said as she pull his cheeks with two fingers and then headed to the bathroom.

Five minutes later she came out and headed straight to the windows, she flipped the two curtains sideways and closed her eyes with a smile as she let the morning sun send its rays to her face, (that has being one of Nuaimat's morning routine), she then let out a sigh and headed to her small closet ignoring her brother Muayad who was still by the dressing mirror checking himself out, "have you prayed subhi (morning prayers in islam)" he asked out loud, "i always pray 5:30 am, unlike you" she called back,

Some minutes later she came out dressed in her school uniform also in white and maroon, white short sleeve shirt, almost knee lenght maroon gypsy skirt, Elbow lenght sleeved maroon blazer which also has the school badge on the left side of the chest, white stockings and black pumps on her feet, her long hair was now in a neat bun and now hidden beneath the small white carve hijab on her head.
