"you have one dm from Fawazalx"
I clicked on the notification and it opened the dm chat with me and Fawaz.
Fawaz: "Hey"
......
Saba:"heyy"
Fawaz: " ha wi9altay elbait?"
Saba: "Eehh"
Fawaz: "giltlech gouleely kint ga3d a7teech"
Saba: "nesait sorry :s laish t7atee?"
Ma nesait ;p
Fawaz: "Madry 7asait fee shay ghala6 9ayer ma3ach eb 360"
Saba: "la lat7atee nothing I can't take care of"
Fawaz: "saba, sh9ar"
Umbaih laish qa9b lazem agoula ;s
Saba: "bes 9arat meshkila weya rfeejty"
Fawaz: "let me guess what happened ok?"
Saba: "okay"
Fawaz: "she got you normal coke bdal diet 9a7? ;p"
Saba: "chubb la2! LOL :p"
Fawaz: "ha 3ayal? sh9ar :p"
Saba:"mm...akhaf agoul takhith 3any fikra mu zaina.."
Fawaz: "afaa...3anich entay? la abad ana cham sina 9arly a3arfich"
Saba: "bes t3arifny bl esim ma t3arifny 3adil fa yemken :s"
Fawaz: "la kil ely asma3a 3anich mn ekhty enich khoush wa7da"
Saba: "hmm okay bagoulik"
I told Fawaz about everything that happened that night from how Ghalia tricked me to how I stormed out of the cinema by myself. Surprisingly he was really angry but I didn't understand why he was mad I mean... its not like he was my...boyfriend or brother. We talked for what seemed like hours but not just "hours" one of the best hours.
Fawaz: "promise me something"
Saba: "okayy?"
Fawaz: "if anything like this happens again you will call or atleast message me"
Saba: "enshallah thank youu"
Fawaz: "ma baina"
Saba: "I have to go to sleep now waray dawam o 7ady ta3bana mn kil ely 9ar elyoum fa 3an ethnek t9ba7 3ala khair"
Fawaz: "oulla 6a3ay elsa3a cham its 12:30 9arlina taghreeban 3 sa3at netkalam, yallah 3ayal maby a6awil 3alaich ana ba3ad banam wentay mn ahala. goodnight and sweetdreams"
Saba: "you too xx"
I put an alarm for school and connected my phone on its' charger then went to sleep.
The next few days I ignored Ghalia at school and from then on our friendship ended, I didn't want to see or hear from her I couldn't trust anyone who would do such a thing to me. Me and Fawaz would talk ever night for up to 3 hours sometimes it was a nightly routine and day by day I fell for him more and more...
Saba: "Fawazzzz!"
Saba: "wake up! I have great news! bser3a goum mn el noum!"
Saba: "WAKE UP!"
I threw my phone on my bed and ran to my moms room in full speed holding the paper in my hand.
I knocked on the door twice then barged in.
Mom: bismellah shfeech chthy etdisheen la salam la shay wagaftay galby
Saba: mama mamaaaa shoufay shoufayy!!
Mom: shinu hatha??
Saba: enqibalt eb gust bi3tha!
Mom: 9ij?? mabrook 7abeebty allaahh ywafgich! digay 3ala obouch gouleela 7ail byestanis!"
Saba: al7een adig wagoula!
I called my dad and told him the great news, barakly o galy byeebly mufaja2a 7ilwa.
ding!
Fawaz: "hala"
awal mara ygouly hala bhal 6areeqa....gahreeba..
Saba: "wainik 9arly sa3a a7awil akalmik!!"
Fawaz: "asif ma kint yam mobiley"

Saba & Fawaz: 5
Fawaz: have fun bl zwara
Saba: thanks
I closed my phone and we were off to zwara..
***
The next day was saturday and I woke up at around 11:30
I checked my phone and found 1 message
Ghalia: "Sabouy movie elyoum 360 at 6:30 ou dinner at b+f okay?"
Saba: "Gm okay as2al umy wagoulich mnu byee?"
Ghalia: "bes ana weyaach"
Saba: "ou Murooj?"
Ghalia: "la2 latgoleenlaha abe a6la3 weyaach entay bes"

Saba: "laish?"
Ghalia: "bes we need me and you quality time! :p"
Saba: "akhaf tiz3al etha darat"
Ghalia: "latgoleenlaha shlon btadry"
Saba: "okay but if she finds out maly shighel ga3da agoulich mn al7een btez3al"
Ghalia: "okay lol"
Saba: "see ya"
Ghalia: " see youu x"
I went downstairs to have some breakfast, I slipped on my slippers because it was so cold and went downstairs.
Dad: 9aba7 el khair
Saba: 9aba7 el nour
I kissed my dad on his head and went to get me some cornflakes
Dad: ha darastay 7ag emte7anatich?
Saba: Ee el7emdellah yuba 3ady a6la3 weya Ghalia elyoum?

Dad: el 3afu
after I finished having breakfast I went to tell Ghalia that my dad agreed about tonight except that I cant have dinner since the movie will finish at 8:30 and I had to be home by 9:00
Ghalia: "okay 3ady skip dinner, bes movie o nakil bl cinema"
Saba: "okay :D"
At 6 I got ready to go out I wore black skinny jeans and a blue long sleeved shirt under a furry black vest and gold flats along with my black Chanel purse. I applied some black eyeliner and blue eyeliner I added some light lipstick and some bronzer and I was ready to go by 6:10.
Saba: yallah baba ana 6al3a
Dad: take care 7abeebty
Saba: Enshallah
Ghalia was waiting for me outside my house in the car (her driver brought her since she cant drive either)
Ghalia: heeyy!
We hugged and I got into the car.
Ghalia told the driver "go to 360 fast we have a movie 6:30 bser3a"
Saba: you look gorgeous today laish kil hal kashkha 7ag shinu :p
Ghalia: waiii cant a girl dress up for once without anyone saying anything!
Saba: hahaaa! zain zain waih kalaiteeny ma gelt shay
Ghalia was wearing a tight black dress with a scarf over it and the dress reached just above her knee, she had bright pink flats and silver accessories and had her hair up in a cute bun.
Saba: shinu el movie?
Ghalia: filim hindi :p
Saba: waih tadreen eny ma7ib aflam hindeya! they are like 3 hours long o lazem ared el bait by 9!
Ghalia: umbaih sorry nesait! we can just leave before the movie ends 3ady
Saba: okayy
We got to 360 exactly on time.
Saba: Ghalia...
Ghalia: hmm
she was looking around frantically I didnt know what she was looking for she looked like she ahd lost something
Saba: shfeech?
Ghalia: mm wla shay entay shfeech?
Saba: shfeehum hathaila ga3deen yl7igouna? la7athtay?
Ghalia turned around and looked at the 2 guys who were following us mn awal ma wi9alna 360 laih el cinema.
Ghalia: yallah khandish el filim byabde
I looked at Ghalia confused, why did she totally ignore my question about the guys?
Saba: okay....yallah
We went in and the 2 guys kept following! we got to our seats which were at the back of the theater at the very right corner above the stairs.
Saba: umbaih hatha dasheen ma3ana el filim ashkara la7geena shfeehum :s
Ghalia: bagoulich shay...
Saba: shinu??
Ghalia: shiftay hatha ely labis cap a7mar? hatha esma Nasser w ely yama M7amad
Saba: na3am?!
I didn't understand what was going on! what was she saying!
Ghalia: theyre our dates..
Saba: SHINU!?
I didn't notice I started to scream until I saw afew heads turn my way
Ghalia: ushh ush! la tefthe7eena!
Saba: entay mu 9a7ya 9a7?
I picked up my bag from my seat and left but she pulled my arm before I could walk down the steps.
Ghalia: la saba ne6ray 9aber sem3ay!
Saba: shtabeen tgouleen? you used me to cover you for a date? sh'hal 8ilat 7aya? entay ma teste7een 3ala wayhich? o feeny tsaweenha? wallah 6e37tay mn 3ainy! o heday eedy
I pushed her arm off me and walked down passing the guys, when I reached the boys I turned slightly to the left and said "ma kent adre enha mkha6i6a chthy wila chan ma yeet"and I made sure my shoulder pushed one of the guys. I was fuming with anger I couldn't contain myself. I was so close to tears and I felt them build up in my eyes. My parents raised me not to let this happen to me and I was so angry that one of my best friends, or EX best friends did this to me.
I took out my phone from my purse to call my driver to pick me up when suddenly I bumped into someone and my phone fell from my hands since I was shaking after what had happened.
"saba?"
I looked up to see Fawaz, his zaity eyes and perfect smile looking straight at me.
"H-hala asfa I mean s-ssoryy ma kent..I mean I wasn't looking and um and I'm sorry"
Fawaz: 3ade ma 9ar shay shfeech shaklich mkhtar3a ou metdodha?
Saba: la mafeeny shay bes emm.,,bardana shwaya ou sayigy na6erny bara ou ee..bes...
"Haha awal mara ashoufich chthy" he said with a slight smile on his face barely making his tiny dimple appear on the left side of his cheek. "Chthy shlon?" I asked with a worried expression on my face.
Fawaz: la bes you look really scared for some reason are you sure you're alright? are you here....alone?
Saba: Yea I was in the cinema
SHIT! why did I say that! how bad does it look when a girl walks out the cinema alone at night!
Saba: la I mean I was in the cinema and my friend tawha 6la3at fa I'm waiting for my driver to pick me up thats all
Fawaz: hmm...I can tell when someone is lying you know?
Saba: uhm I'm not..
"Fawaz yallah! el filim byabde shfeek?" one of the 3 guys standing by the concession counter said, they were all looking at me probably wondering who I am and why Fawaz was talking to me.
Fawaz: I gotta go but you're telling me what's wrong fahma?
Saba: nothings wrong really
Fawaz: Saba come on something is wrong. Just stay by your phone tonight and whatever it is don't worry
Saba: okay...thanks
Fawaz: okay tabeeny awadeech sayartich?
Saba: umbaih la mashkour maby a7ad yshoufne shbegoulon 3any :o
Fawaz: gouleelhum ana wild khalich mabeech teftarain eb 360 brou7ich kila shabab ou mu 7ilwa ena el bent tkoun brou7ha
Saba: la latkhaf el sayeg na6erny bara al7een
Fawaz: hmm are you sure?
Saba: I'm sure
Fawaz: okay gouleele etha we9altay el bait.
Saba: uhh okay..
Fawaz: yallah bye lazem arou7 take care
Saba: you too enjoy the movie
Fawaz: Thanks
He flashed me a gorgeous smile and I melted! then he turned around and walked in behind his friends into the cinema.
When I got home my parents asked me why I came home so fast I told them the movie was full and we just got something to eat and that's it. I went up to my room and laid on my bed. Ughh! what a horrible night I cant believe that just happened! I changed out of my clothes and washed my face then prayed and got onto my computer to pass the time.
Shittt I forgot to tell Fawaz I'm home! hmm maybe I shouldn't I mean...maybe he was just being nice and it felt weird telling a guy I didn't know that well when I got home and stuff..6af let me just watch a movie. I went down to the kitchen and made me some popcorn then watched mean girls it's one of my favorites! just as the movie ended I heard my phone ring
ring! ring! ring!
Ghalia is calling
"accpet call" decline call"
I let it ring until it cut off
She called again
and again...
the 3rd time I declined the call and sent her a whatsapp
Saba: "stop calling I dont want to talk to you."
Ghalia: " just hear me out! please!"
Saba: "khaleeny me7tarmitich a7san ou leave me alone, I don't want to hear what you have to say. Bye."
Ghalia: "I'll explain everything bacher"
Saba: "y9eer khair"

Thursday, January 17, 2013
Saba & Fawaz: 4
Fawaz: nesait ka ra8my lo 7tejtay shay
Saba: mashkour
I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.
"go home" I told the driver
I reached home at around 1:30, I set my bag down and went to take a shower. We have zwara tonight and today it's with my mothers side of the family. I got out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I brushed my teeth and went to pick out something to wear for tonight since our zwaras were fancy and not the casual kind. I picked out a cream colored skinny jeans and a white blouse with a gold blazer on top of it. I walked over to my jewellery armoire and picked out a big cold chained necklace and a black and golden ring. For shoes I picked my black Tory Burch flats.
"Saba!" I hearded my mother yell from downstairs. I set my clothes on the bed and went down to see what she wanted.
Saba: Hala yuma.
I kissed her forehead and sat down next to her on the sofa.
Mom: Sabouy 7abeebty khaltich dagat 3alay elyoum etgoul Hessa enkha6bat
Saba: 9ej? lazem abariklaha 3ad t9adgeen minziman mu shayfat'ha wala mkalmat'ha

Mom: enzain al7een rou7ay barkay Hessa 3ala khi6bat'ha my tensain
Saba: Enshallah, yuma obouy waina?
Mom: tawa 6ali3 ma3a 7amany (ukho Saba 10 years old)
Saba: ah okay 3ayal al7een akalim Hessa meta el 3ers?
Mom: ba3d sbou3ain
Saba: mashallah mu bser3a?
Mom: Ee wallah madry 3ala shinu mesta3yeleen
After I finished speaking to my mom I went to my room to send Hessa a message.
Saba: "hey Hessa, its me Saba :D shlonich? sem3at 3an khi6bitich allah ywafgich o yhaneech alf mabrook 7abeebty! ;**"
I sent the message then took out the paper with Fawazs' number from my bag. I created a new contact
"Fawaz AL-X"
ding!
Hessa: "Hala Sabouyyy! el7emdellah ana zaina! entay shlonich? allah ybarik feech el faal lech enshallah ;**"
I replied to her and then got on to twitter.
"Create tweet"
Saba: Bored nothing to do any movie suggestions?
ding!
"Muroojalx has retweeted your tweet"
I closed my phone and laid on my bed
ding!
"Fawazalx has requested to follow you!"
I looked at the screen not quite sure I was reading correctly, I put in my password and waited for his profile to load...
"accept" "decline"
I pressed accept since I didn't mind having someone I sort of knew following me on twitter, if I didn't know him I would have declined.
I followed him back since he was public and tried not to think of it.
ding!
Fawaz: hey
umbaih.. why is he talking to me?
Saba: heyy
Fawaz: need a movie?
Saba: Yes please!
Fawaz: you should watch the kite runner it may not be what you're looking for but believe me it's an amazing movie but if you want something funny watch 21 jump street
Saba: I already watched the kite runner :p 7ada 3ajeeb so I guess 21 jump street it is! Thank you
Fawaz: Ee its an amazing movie bes 21 jump street is a comedy so it won't be like the kite runner :p enjoy and tell me what you think of it.
Saba: Enshallah thanks again x
Fawaz: no prob always here :D
I closed the chat and got online to watch 21 jump street. It was a really funny movie and I couldn't stop laughing its definitely a must see!
by the time the movie was over it was 6:30 so I got up to get dressed for zwara. I wore my clothes and put on make up then went downstairs to wait for everyone to finish.
Dad: ha jahza?
Saba: hala yuba ee jahza
I got up from the sofa and kissed his head.
Dad: yallah ka sweech el sayara rou7ay ne6ray bl sayara al7een umich ou okhouch byanziloun.
I took the car keys and went to wait in the car, sha8alt el dafaya bl car because the seats were so freezing cold.
I got my phone out and tweeted "Zwara in a bit", just a minute after I clicked tweet I got a dm.

Fawaz: ha shlon el movie?

ttyl? He wanted to talk to me more? wasn't this just an innocent conversation about a movie? how did we spend the past 10 minutes talking non stop..
Saba: sure x
Fawaz: have fun bl zwara
Saba: thanks
I closed my phone and we were off to zwara..
Saba: mashkour
I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.
"go home" I told the driver
I reached home at around 1:30, I set my bag down and went to take a shower. We have zwara tonight and today it's with my mothers side of the family. I got out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I brushed my teeth and went to pick out something to wear for tonight since our zwaras were fancy and not the casual kind. I picked out a cream colored skinny jeans and a white blouse with a gold blazer on top of it. I walked over to my jewellery armoire and picked out a big cold chained necklace and a black and golden ring. For shoes I picked my black Tory Burch flats.
"Saba!" I hearded my mother yell from downstairs. I set my clothes on the bed and went down to see what she wanted.
Saba: Hala yuma.
I kissed her forehead and sat down next to her on the sofa.
Mom: Sabouy 7abeebty khaltich dagat 3alay elyoum etgoul Hessa enkha6bat
Saba: 9ej? lazem abariklaha 3ad t9adgeen minziman mu shayfat'ha wala mkalmat'ha

Mom: tawa 6ali3 ma3a 7amany (ukho Saba 10 years old)
Saba: ah okay 3ayal al7een akalim Hessa meta el 3ers?
Mom: ba3d sbou3ain
Saba: mashallah mu bser3a?
Mom: Ee wallah madry 3ala shinu mesta3yeleen
After I finished speaking to my mom I went to my room to send Hessa a message.
Saba: "hey Hessa, its me Saba :D shlonich? sem3at 3an khi6bitich allah ywafgich o yhaneech alf mabrook 7abeebty! ;**"
I sent the message then took out the paper with Fawazs' number from my bag. I created a new contact
"Fawaz AL-X"
ding!
Hessa: "Hala Sabouyyy! el7emdellah ana zaina! entay shlonich? allah ybarik feech el faal lech enshallah ;**"
I replied to her and then got on to twitter.
"Create tweet"
Saba: Bored nothing to do any movie suggestions?
ding!
"Muroojalx has retweeted your tweet"
I closed my phone and laid on my bed
ding!
"Fawazalx has requested to follow you!"
I looked at the screen not quite sure I was reading correctly, I put in my password and waited for his profile to load...
"accept" "decline"
I pressed accept since I didn't mind having someone I sort of knew following me on twitter, if I didn't know him I would have declined.
I followed him back since he was public and tried not to think of it.
ding!
Fawaz: hey
umbaih.. why is he talking to me?
Saba: heyy
Fawaz: need a movie?
Saba: Yes please!
Fawaz: you should watch the kite runner it may not be what you're looking for but believe me it's an amazing movie but if you want something funny watch 21 jump street
Saba: I already watched the kite runner :p 7ada 3ajeeb so I guess 21 jump street it is! Thank you
Fawaz: Ee its an amazing movie bes 21 jump street is a comedy so it won't be like the kite runner :p enjoy and tell me what you think of it.
Saba: Enshallah thanks again x
Fawaz: no prob always here :D
I closed the chat and got online to watch 21 jump street. It was a really funny movie and I couldn't stop laughing its definitely a must see!
by the time the movie was over it was 6:30 so I got up to get dressed for zwara. I wore my clothes and put on make up then went downstairs to wait for everyone to finish.
Dad: ha jahza?
Saba: hala yuba ee jahza
I got up from the sofa and kissed his head.
Dad: yallah ka sweech el sayara rou7ay ne6ray bl sayara al7een umich ou okhouch byanziloun.
I took the car keys and went to wait in the car, sha8alt el dafaya bl car because the seats were so freezing cold.
I got my phone out and tweeted "Zwara in a bit", just a minute after I clicked tweet I got a dm.
ding!
Fawaz: ha shlon el movie?

Thursday, January 10, 2013
Saba & Fawaz: 3
We all laughed at Murooj, but something in me wasn't comfortable by how
happy she had gotten when she heard that Fawaz was here, I stared at her
face to examine it and see if she would give off any hints about her
feelings towards Fawaz. His name left our conversation as easily as it
came in. The girls may have forgotten about Fawaz but one thing was for
sure, my heart sure hadn't.
After that moment my life changed, drastically.
"wake up! wake up! wake up!" Ghalia screamed in my ear.
Saba: Ghalouy! shda3wa chthy y9arkhoun mat3arfeen etgawmeen elwa7ed mn elnoum ela bl9rakh?!
Ghalia: o fough hatha lail7en tredeen tnameen!
Saba: shaku mara7 arid anam!
I took my pillow and smacked her on her head with it.
Ghalia: Oww! goumay bs goumay khal9eena
Saba: ka gimt! iff, enzain wain Murooj?
Ghalia: enzalat ta7at be7i6oun elryoug
Saba: umha ta7at ba3ad?
Ghalia: La bes Abdullah o Fawaz
Saba: aha okay 3ayal ana bes aghasil wanzilikum ne6rouny la takloun!
Ghalia: Okay bes la6awleen mara7 nan6er wayed ywa3a!
I looked at her giving her a sarcastic smile then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change into my jeans and hollister hoodie, it was a sleepover and we weren't going anywhere so this was fine. Badalt o 9alait el fayer ba3dain nezaltlhum. When I got to the kitchen I saw 4 people sitting at the table, Ghalia, Murooj, Abdullah and Fawaz. When I saw him I felt my stomach make knots and the butterflies began to kick in.
Murooj: 9a7 el noum!
Saba: 9a7 eb denich, laish kelkum ga3deen embacher
I looked around to find a place to sit, Murooj was sitting in the middle, her brother on her right and Ghalia to her left and Fawaz was sitting at the end of the table next to Abdullah. I walked over to where Ghalia was sitting and took a seat next to her, basically the farthest seat from Fawaz.. :(
Ghalia: yallah! ye3t mita ekhali9 elakil!
Murooj: al7een! bes khal tkhali9 elkhadama! mafeech 9aber?
Ghalia: la mafeeny! ba6ny gam y6ali3 a9waat ghareeb ou 3ajeeba mu rathy yaskit
Saba: haha Ghalouy entay bes tfakreen eb ba6nich wedy bes mara tensain 3an el akel wetray7eena smillah 3alaich
Ghalia: shtabeen kaify ba6ny w ana 7ura! wallah etha ma khala9 el akel in 5 minutes ba6lib
Abdullah: 3umry ma sheft bent methlech chthy t7ib el akel kithrech
Ghalia: chubb!
Fawaz chuckled then his phone vibrated and he picked it up to see who it was from.A smile grew on his face and soon that smile became a laugh.
Abdullah: shly ytha7ik, tha7ikna ma3aak
Ghalia: Ee tha7ikna ma3ak eshghel balna mn hal na6ra ely mu rathya tkhali9
Fawaz: rfeejy dazly nekta bes
Ghalia: rfeejik ha? :)
Being the fearless crazy girl she is Ghalia reached over and snatched his phone from his hand, I turned my face sightly to peak at the screen hoping it really was a guy who sent him the joke, bugagt 3youny and read the name "Jassem Al X" I let out a sigh even though I didn't understand why I even cared in the first place.
Fawaz: hay shfeech entay 3a6eeny mobiley
I stared at Ghalia and gave her a nudge with my elbow signaling that she better give it back to him.
Ghalia: ayy Sabouy latsaween chthy
Fawaz: La saba saway 7igreeha o khim6ay minha mobiley
I snatched the phone from her and gave her the "shut up or you'll regret it" look, I handed the phone over to Fawaz.
Saba: e3therha el bent mu 9a7ya o yo3ana
Fawaz: la7atht
Ghalia: umbaih chub wai3 entaw mu 7aseen bly ana 7asa feeh tara ana 7ady yo3ana 3ady akil eedy
Just the the nanny walked in with a tray with 5 omelettes
Ghalia: FINALLYYY JANE HERE ME FIRST!
The nanny ignored her and served Fawaz, Abdullah, Murooj, Ghalia then me the food.
Fawaz: Samay gabla takleen la t8i9een
Ghalia: bismellah yallah dig in!
She literally ate her egg without chewing she just swallowed!
Saba: shway shway Ghaloy khalich bent mu chthy takleen!
I whispered in her ear so no one would hear but she didn't realize from how hungry she was
Ghalia: ana ga3da akil mithl bint shfeech entay 3alay khaleeny akel 3ala ra7ty!
Saba: way kaifich
Fawaz: khaleeha el bent ma3endaha tharabat banat mithlech wa7sh mu bnaya
He laughed at her and I took what he said as a complement. We ate our food then went to the living room and we all hung out together until our drivers came to pick us up.
Fawaz (talking to Abdullah) : Yakhy ta3abat mn eljam3a aby atkharaj w atwathafaby abdy 7ayaty o a3timid 3ala nafsy
I started to listen to their conversation
Abdullah: wallah fahimny ma9arat la3at chabdy mn jam3a

Murooj: tabeeny ayee gust? ;p
Fawaz: la ya3ne bes ga3d agoulich enha zaina kaifich rou7ay auk etha tabeen
He completely ignored her attempt at grabbing his attention and turned to me.
Fawaz: Saba entay way nawya etdisheen?
Saba: h-haa? ana enshallah Gust
Fawaz: 9ij? zain wallah btnawer gust eb wjoudich
I blushed and saw Murooj's face get red with anger.

Murooj: so...Fawaz, shinu tan9i7ny adres etha dashait business?
Fawaz: hmm...finance?
Murooj: shme3na mu marketing ma3aak??
I turned my head to look at her, I can't believe she just said that. He turned to me and we smiled at how she was throwing herself at him.
Murooj: shfeek?
Fawaz: ha? wla shay.. entay shfeech?
Murooj: sa2altik su2al!

our eyes connected once again and we held the look for a while, why did I feel like he was sweet talking me.
When he realized that he was staring nazalha wayha o his face turned red and I could tell he felt embarassed about what he had just said.
Saba: mashkour I guess..
Fawaz: el 3afou
we smiled at each other.
*RING..RING..*
Saba: aloo? yes youre outside? okay im coming now, bye.
I looked at everyone in the room.
Saba: saygy bara yallah barou7
I hugged the girls and said bye to Abdullah and Fawaz, just then Fawaz got up and said he had to leave to.
Fawaz: yallah ma3alsalama
Everyone: ma3alsalama
Me and him walked side by side but with a few feet space between us out to the gate of the house.
He opened the door and I walked out then he followed.
Fawaz: mnu beridich el bait?

I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.
"go home" I told the driver

Saba & Fawaz: 2
Again this is not a true story and I hope you guys like this next chapter as much as the first one, if not more.
I wanted to disappear or to transport through the phone and pop up where ever Fawaz was at the moment. I tried to relax and think about what I should do, and more importantly what I should say.
Saba: Fawaz, I love you too. I love you so much it hurts, This is really hard for me and it's not how I wanted it to end, hell I didn't even want it to end! You are the best thing to happen to me and my best friend and my future husband. I never thought my mom would do this to me but for your own good this HAS to end. The last thing I want is for my dad to hurt you in anyway...if you love me you'll wait and you'll be there for me when the time is right. I love you more than my life itself, believe me this is going to be the hardest thing for me to do...
I'll love you forever and ever

I watched my thumb shake as I moved it to press on the "send" button.
I couldn't do it, this was too hard I just cant..
You're probably wondering how did this all start? Well this is their story...
Murooj: Sabouy please 3ade tanzileen el ma6bakh tyeebeen el marshmallows?
Saba: La a7ad yanzel ma3ay mara7 arou7 brou7y
Murooj: Shda3wa! bes nezlay yeeby mu awal mara tyeen baitna!
Ghalia: khala9 ana ayee weyach yal dalou3a goumay yallah
Me, Ghalia and Murooj have been best friends for 4 years now even though we aren't that close I consider them my best friends and we spend almost every free time we have together. Ghalia and I got off Muroojs' bed and headed down to the kitchen, we wanted to get marshmallows so that we could play chubby bunny.
Ghalia: waay bait'hum laish kela chethy thalma!
Saba: Eeh! wtgoulonly laish tkhafeen tanzileen el ma6bakh brou7ch, al7een 3araftay laish?!
We tip toed into the kitchen hoping we wouldn't wake up Muroojs' dog, she had a chihuahua and it was the loudest, most annoying animal to ever set foot on this earth.
Ghalia: wain el marshmellows?
Saba: a3teqed bl kabat 3ala yemeenech ba6lay o shoufay
Just as Ghalia was about to open the cupboard the room lights switched on. Startled, Ghalia and I turned around in fear to see who it was.
Abdullah: banat?
Me and Ghalia looked at each other and burst out laughing, it was Muroojs' brother Abdullah. Abdullah was 18 years old and a freshmen in University.
Saba: h-hala Abdullah, khra3tna taby shay?
Abdullah: la bes yay ashrab may, entaw shemga3dkum lail7een?
Ghalia: e7na benaam eb baitkum
Abdullah: aha okay 3ayal have fun banat o la tez3jouna eb gargatkum
Ghalia: "tez3jouna" mnu "entaw" fee a7ad ghairik hnee?
Abdullah: Eeh rfeejy ba3ad benaam 3endena bes latkhafoun e7na bldewaneya o bnagfil 3ailaina elbab fa ekhthaw ra7atkum.
Saba: oh enzain 3ayal mashkour o you too have fun.
Just as I was about to leave Ghalia grabbed my arm.
"nesaina nakheth el marshmallows yal bgara!" she whispered loudly in my ear
Saba: ohh 9a7! yallah ekhtheehum 3ashan enrou7
She found the marshmellows and we walked back to Muroojs' room, on our way there "we" met for the first time. On my way to Muroojs' room I guess you could say fate brought us together, it was the first time I'd ever seen him and the same goes for him, he'd never seen or heard of me before that night. It was like a dream come true, sort of like a movie where you see stars and hear music playing in the background but there was no one there playing it. Just like that, with one look and one second of eye contact, I felt it and so did he.
"Wayy! bismellah! ent mnu?!" Ghalia screamed, already trying to recover from Abdullah startling us in the kitchen.
I looked ahead and saw a tall figure, a fit guy standing infront of me. Though I couldnt see his face that clearly because of how dark it had been I could tell he was handsome.
Fawaz: mnu? ana?
Ghalia: La ga3da akalim el6oufa ely 6la3tly methl yenee! akeed enta ba3ad mnu?!
You could always count on Ghalia to speak her mind, I guess you could say "elsanha 6weel".
Fawaz: ana Fawaz rfeej 3abood
from the moment I heard him say his name, the butterflies in my stomach went crazy, suddenly I didn't want to play chubby bunny anymore, suddenly I didn't want to go back to Murooj's room for the sleepover, all I wanted to do was sit here and hear him speak even if it wasn't to me.
Ghalia: ah okay ya3ne mu 7aramy, ashwa. Enzain ana Ghalia o hathy rfeejty Saba.
Fawaz: Nice meeting you two..
The three of us stood around awkwardly until I finally broke the silence
"Ehm...Ghalouy lazem ne93ad foug my9eer enkoun ta7at etha fee 9bayan" I whispered in Ghalias ear.
Ghalia: ay 9bayan? mafee 9bayan
Fawaz: e7m..ana barou7 eldewaneya ma3alsalama.
Ghalia & I: okay bye
I pushed Ghalia up the stairs infront of me. One, for talking to the guy for so long and two, for embarassing him!
Ghalia: haay latdizeen!
Saba: emshay bes emshay 7emday rabech ma talaitich min athounich, zain chethy? fashaltay el walad maskeen!
Ghalia: shda3wa fashalta bes gelt mafy 9bayan mu shay yfashel, w entay shfeech 3ala el walad etdaf3een 3ana? latkhaleeny ashik feech 3ad
She laughed it off as if it were nothing, but she didn't know, she had no idea what I just felt. We walked into the room with a bag of marshmallows.
Murooj: ma baghaitaw! shfeekum 6awaltaw hal kither?
Ghalia: shefna ukouch
Saba: o rfeeja Fawaz
Murooj: 9ej? Fawaz hnee? wansa shraykum nanzil 3enduhum enshouf filim?
Saba: Entay yanaitay 9a7? 9bayan enrou7 neg3ad ma3ahum w enshouf filim? agoul khalich 3ala chubby bunny a7san o t3awithay min eblees
We all laughed at Murooj, but something in me wasn't comfortable by how happy she had gotten when she heard that Fawaz was here, I stared at her face to examine it and see if she would give off any hints about her feelings towards Fawaz. His name left our conversation as easily as it came in. The girls may have forgotten about Fawaz but one thing was for sure, my heart sure hadn't.
After that moment my life changed, drastically.
I wanted to disappear or to transport through the phone and pop up where ever Fawaz was at the moment. I tried to relax and think about what I should do, and more importantly what I should say.
Saba: Fawaz, I love you too. I love you so much it hurts, This is really hard for me and it's not how I wanted it to end, hell I didn't even want it to end!
