There was a Syrian girl in our Arabic class named Sara who was very annoying. She was very white, had huge blue eyes, blonde hair, and was very loud. Everything about her irritated us and Goum Khalaf. Goum Khalaf loved making fun of her, it was the joy of their life. She began with her annoying comments and sketchy jokes. I laughed at some of her lame jokes so she would eventually stop, but she didn't. Hamdan kept staring at me and smiling. "Look at her smile, and that laugh agh" he said in front of everyone. All eyes were on me as he was staring in my direction. "I love your laugh" he mentioned with his mesmerising smile. I felt really embarrassed so i just smiled. Sara kept commenting and talking about silly things, and i was getting really bothered. Hamdan noticed the fact that i was irritated by her, so he started with his comments too. "Ay ay ay Sara, look at your face" he stated with disgust. Shamsa and Hamda both went to get some food from the canteen at that time, but i stayed in class. Khalaf sat next to me and started talking to me about random things. People started grabbing their chairs and sitting next to Khalaf. We all formed a column in the back, and i was the only girl there. Hamdan kept looking at me, until he got his chair and kept trying to squish it between me and Khalaf. There was no space, there was some space near Khalaf on the other side, but he insisted on sitting next to me. "Shh" Sara decided to reply to Hamdan. "Excuse me? Don't shh me. Who do you think you are?" Hamdan answered. "I'm Sara" she said coldly. "Please snow white, spare me, look at yourself in the mirror then come talk to me!"he uttered. "You look just like Ostriches' poop" he said finally. Wow i thought, how rude of him. We all hated her, but that was just rude. "Look at Layla, look at her" Hamdan said while pointing at me. "Look at her eyes, look at them, look, look" he mentioned to Khalaf while nudging him. "You know Khalaf, if i woke up at night and saw snow white i'd scream and shout." "But if i saw Layla i'd sit down and stare at her till the sun goes up." he uttered. I started blushing and turned away from everyone's sight.
Shamsa and Hamda came back, and i filled them in on what happened in Arabic. They were clapping and cheering for me, and we all couldn't stop laughing. Khalaf came our way and pulled Shamsa from her arm and took her away. "What's up with him?" i asked Nayef as he was approaching us. "No idea, but he seems mad" he replied. I shrugged and went back to class. Nayef was talking to Hamda and smiling. I never saw him this happy before, actually i've never seen him smile. He reached for his pocket and took something out and gave it to Hamda. It was a small red box, and had a small card attached to it. She waved good bye to him, and ran to me. "He gave me something!" Hamda yelled. "What is it?" i asked. "I don't know" she said while placing the box on my table. "Open it" i uttered. She opened the small red box to present a silver charm that had her initials engraved on it. "It's beautiful" she said while covering her mouth. "It is! Mabrook Habibti, put it on" i commented. I attached it to her bracelet and she went to thank Nayef.
I sat alone in class, wondering about Shamsa and Khalaf, and was thinking about Hamdan. I could write a thousand pages about Hamdan's laugh or the way his eyes look when he watches me. I could tell a thousand people about his smile or the way his texting sucks at two in the morning. I could sing a thousand songs about his lips and how his fingers make me feel. I'd rather be silent and keep him all to myself because sharing has never been my strong point. Someone suddenly covered my eyes with their hands. I put my hands over the person's hands as i was awakened by them. I felt a kiss on both of my hands, then a kiss on my neck. I removed the hands from my eyes, and looked up to find him. The man of my dreams, the one who makes my heart flutter, my stomach tumble, and my pupils dilate. "How are you Boo?" Hamdan questioned. "I'm good you?" i stated. "I'm seeing heaven in front of me right know, how do you think i feel?" he mentioned with a big smile. I laughed and squeezed his cheek. "I love you" i whispered to myself. "Haaaaa, ha, ha, what did you say?" he yelled while jumping. "Nothing" i said with a big smile. "Say it again" he said while holding my hands. "I love you" i said while looking into his eyes. "I love you more than anything in this world, i love you to the moon and back, i love you till the end of time" he yelled at the top of his lungs. I started laughing and so did he. "You're crazy!" i screamed out. "You made me crazy" he said while hugging me.
Khalaf walked into the class while slamming the door, and Shamsa was walking behind him with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong" i asked her immediately. "Nothing" she replied. I took her by the hand and told Hamdan to talk to Khalaf. I took her out of class and forced her to talk. She began to cry. "Shamsa, it's okay, just tell me what he did to you?" i asked. She didn't reply, just drowned herself in tears. "Boo, calm down and tell me what's wrong?" "I..I..I..I saw Khalaf next to the bathroom with Angelica and she was playing with his hair, and he was laughing" She managed to say while crying.
