Mrs. Kate was our english and one of our most boring teachers ever. She would always tell us about the day she met her husband and what he did. She would tell us about her random imaginary friends, weird i know. She would go on and on about what a trouble maker she was, and how everyone was scared of her. Shamsa and i would always laugh at her cause we knew all she ever said was a lie. Math and economics were always boring classes so we would always ditch them. As soon as the teacher came to class we would make up a lie and leave class. The secret behind us ditching was to meet up with goum Khalaf. They ditched every class they had except arabic. I wonder why...

We decided to ditch in the kindergarten area, where there were all kinds of playgrounds and toys. We sat down on different games and just talked. "Hey hey hey!" Khalaf yelled. What was he doing here we thought. "What are you doing here you naughty girls, go to class" he said with a smile with his dimples popping out. Shamsa smiled and said "Why are you out?" "Ughh class is too boring" he mentioned. Hamdan came out from the kids bathroom with smoke coming out of his mouth and slowly hiding the midwakh away in his pocket. He looked at me and smiled. "How are you?" he managed to say with smoke still coming out of his mouth. "I'm good, you?" i said shyly. "I'm always good if you're good" he stated. I smiled and hid my face in order for him not to see me blush. "You made the girl blush, Hamdan" Khalaf interrupted while laughing. We all laughed and then they sat down on different games. We kept talking and laughing and it all seemed to be going great. We heard the sound of keys getting louder and louder which meant someone was coming closer and closer. The sound of keys only meant one thing, the principle was coming! We all ran in different directions and managed to hide. "I know you're here Khalaf, come out" he yelled. No one replied. "Come out come out wherever you are, and don't play games with me!" the principle said firmly. Shamsa, Hamda and i were all hiding under the slide. Hamdan was in the kids bathroom, Khalaf was hiding behind the big building blocks, and Nayef was hiding behind the garbage. We tried our very best not to burst out laughing. We couldn't help it, we giggled and he heard us. "Ahhh there are girls here too" he said with an angry tone. "Come out now!" he shouted. He started walking towards us and we were panicking. "Sh*t he's going to catch us" i whispered to Shamsa. We heard his foot steps coming closer till he was literally a step away from us. It's over we were going to get caught. To hell with our weekends, detention everyday, and maybe suspension. He was slowly leaning down to see us, then suddenly Khalaf came out of his hiding spot. "You decided to come out finally, come with me, you're going home" the principle said. "Go get your bag and come to my office so i can call your parents to take you home, you will be suspended for a day". God, this was all our fault. As soon as they left, we all came out of our hiding places and decided to go to our classes. We were walking in different directions then Hamdan calls out my name "Layla!" I turned around, "yea?" "Bye" he said with a wide smile. I just laughed and said bye. 

As we were heading up the stairs to go to class, we bumped into Khalaf and asked him what happened. "Nothing I'm suspended for the day, i can go home and sleep now" he said with a smile. He looked at Shamsa and said "Ay next time i don't want to see you outside class." "Why?" Shamsa asked. "Cause if you'll get caught you'll be suspended, then how will i see you?" Her face turned red, and she smiled. Nayef was behind us and asked about Khalaf too. "Khaloof, what class do we have now?" he said in a sleepy voice. We all started laughing. Nayef was really lost in his own world. "Eco" Khalaf replied still laughing. We all went back to our classes after that. Tomorrow was national day and we just couldn't wait !
