Hello:) last post for tonight, I'm going traveling tomorrow for a day to meet up with my friend (can't tell you the country, lets just say that it's really close!) And were going to be having a blast! :D I'll be back at night, and I might type up chapter 13!
And huge shoutout to all of my readers:D I only started my blog 6 days ago, and I am already getting so much positive feedback! At first I was unsure about this whole blogging thing, thinking that people would judge me because of my story, or criticize my writing. But in this whole ongoing experience, I learned two things. First, is that you should always take the risk, because the result could just end up being amazing. And Two, is that writing, in a way, can help you express bottled up emotions and feelings, and it's such an amazing thing. ALSO, I learned that I am an extremely bad speller, so another shoutout to google chrome spell check:p
so yeah. thank you:D and enjoy! xo

We arrived to Dana's mansion at 8:00, and I told my father to pick me up at 11:30. The music was blasting, the party already in full swing. I could hear the thud of the base from outside, waking me up. I followed Fahad into the house, and he was greeted by his friend, Abdullah, and they quickly ran away into the crowd. Amal waved off at me and said that she had to go find a bathroom. The dj was playing ''Don't Stop The Music'' and everyone was dancing and having a good time. One of the house keepers came up to me, offering to take my blazer into the coat room. I smiled and agreed, shrugging of my blazer and hanging my bag across my shoulder.
''Sara!'' Shoug greeted me, embracing me in a quick hug. ''Hey!'' I tried to shout over the music.
She pulled me over to the dance floor. It was just a regular party, no one was dancing inappropriately, or doing anything wrong. It was better then I expected. I was dancing to the music, having an amazing time.
After an hour of talking, socializing, and dancing, I went to go sit down, trying to find the rest of my friends. It was pretty hard to get a good search, because every minute someone would come up to me and start a conversation. I finally escaped, going upstairs into one of the bathrooms. I called Ghalia, and she said she was downstairs with Turki, Omar, Lulu and Jana. I asked her If she saw Yousef, and she said no, saying that he came here with Faris and left. I tried calling Yousef but there was no answer. Strange. I fixed my makeup, applying more lipgloss, and left to go back downstairs.
I turned the corner, and I saw Yousef walking towards me. But he wasn't alone. Dana had her arm around his neck, and Yousefs arm was stretched across her waist, reaching up in her high heels to give him a kiss on the cheek. His expression quickly changed from joy to surprise, and then to guilt. He removed his arm from her waist, reaching out towards me. I backed away, trying to make sense of everything. Dana? How could he not tell me? And how am I so hurt by this? I looked down, and quickly made my way downstairs.
I walked into one of the smaller living rooms, to find Faris and Shoug talking. She saw the look in my eye, and excused herself from Faris, leading me into the empty kitchen. ''Sara, whats wrong?'' She said in her soothing voice. ''Yousef and Dana, I saw them walking upstairs, and, how could he not tell me? How could he keep this from me? Why?!'' I said, starting to sob. I knew why I was so upset.
It was because I liked Yousef, much more then a friend. I finally let myself admit it, letting all of the emotions loose. Every look, every smile, every late night phone call, all of the funny chats, all of the hugs, all of the pranks. Everything made me like Yousef. I had just been lying to myself the whole time.
I hugged Shoug, my eye makeup running down my face. She led me into the bathroom, quickly cleaning me up, and redoing my eyeliner and mascara. I just sat there, in silence. I finally noticed my phone buzzing. It was a call from Yousef. I was unsure about if I should answer or not. But I knew ignoring him would just make it all worse, and I couldn't live with that. I quickly hugged Shoug, and she quickly left. I took a deep breath, pressing the accept button.
''Sara? Thank god you picked up. I can explain, I swear. I'm so sorry just let me explain!'' I kept my voice quiet and calm. ''You have 5 minutes to explain, meet me outside, at the back of the house.'' I said and hung up. I made my way out of the kitchen, and I turned the corner, leading to the back door, when I saw Amal, with a guy.
''Amal?'' I said, checking to make sure if it was her. She quickly turned around, her jaw dropping. I recognized the guy behind her as Jassim, from the grade above us. I quickly realized that the Jassim from her phone call two weeks ago, and Jassim, Yousef's friend, was the same Jassim standing behind her. I gave her a smile, walking towards them. I smiled at Jassim, and reached out to give Amal a hug. ''Your secret's safe with me, don't worry'' I whispered in her ear. She pulled away and gave me the biggest smile ever. ''Have fun'' I said, making a funny face at Amal. she giggled and I made my way to the back door, scanning my eyes for Yousef.
''Hey.'' He said, and I quickly turned around, seeing him standing behind me, his hands in his pockets. ''You look really beautiful'' He said, looking at me. ''Okay. So what happened? I want to know everything.'' I whispered, avoiding his eye contact. We went to go sit on the bench in front of the garden, overlooking the sea. ''Dana, she was just flirting with me, and I just decided to go along with it. But I swear nothing happened. Dana told me you were with Bradly, that British guy in year 11, so I just gave up and followed her. But every second I was with Dana, I wished it was you. Sara, I'm sorry, okay? I knew you would never like me back, so I stopped trying!'' He said, running his hands through his hair. I was speechless. Was this actually happening? ''Sara, I love you.''
