I screamed in excitement as I jumped into the crystal clear
water, eager to finally be in the water. I quickly was at the bottom, my lungs
aching for air. I slowly floated to the top of the pool, watching the bubbles
float to the top. The sun rays beamed in the pool, making the water sparkle. I
savored the moment, wishing it would never end. I reached the surface and
gasped for air, relieved that it was finally summer.
I heard someone call my name and quickly turned around. ‘’Sarah, your father said for me to bring you to eat lunch’’ Said my maid Maria in her thick Indian accent. ‘’okay, thank you. ‘’ I said quickly, reluctantly getting out of the pool and wrapping my body in a towel and breathed in the hot Kuwait weather air and let out a long sigh, relieved to finally be relaxed.
I made my way into the house, quickly running up the stairs to my room. I took a cold shower and changed into red American Eagle sweatpants and a black Holister shirt,quickly rushing downstairs in order to not make my family wait for me any longer. My feet slid across the marble floors, threatening to make me fall on my face any second. I took my seat at the long 18 seat Mahogany table in between my 19 year old brother, Fahad and my 15 year old step-sister, Amal. Across from me was my step-mother, Mariam, sitting next to my father.
''Thank you for finally joining us,Sarah'' My father joked,making everyone laugh. ''Lets eat!'' Fahad grinned,eagerly looking at the huge steaming plate of pasta in front of him.
As soon as I was done I excused myself and went upstairs to my room. I stopped at the doorway and looked around. On my left was the entry way to my closet,and on the far left corner of my room was the door to the bathroom. My eyes drifted to the light red colored walls and then to the cold marble floors. I sat on my queen sized bed,fitted in a white bedspread. I sat down on my bed,picking up my white blackberry. I saw the red flashing light and clicked on bbm. Just then I got a message from Shoug.
Shoug;*- PING!!
Sara Al X- Hey! :D
Shoug;* -Hey,Wanna go to 360 tonight? :D. All the girls are commingggg!!!
Sara Al X- Sure, i'll ask my dad.
Shoug;* - Okay! :D
Ah Shoug. I've known her since year one,when she sat next to me at lunch time. I remember when Some year 4 kids tried to take her candy,and I was the only one who dared to stand up for her,demanding that her candy was returned to her at once. We've been best friends ever since.
I quickly ran downstairs,bumping into Amal. ''Where's Baba?'' I asked, eager to get his answer. ''He went out,I'm not sure where though.'' Amal said. ''Thanks'' I smiled at her,running down the stairs to find Aziz. I guess I would just ask him, because there really wasn't any other option.
''AZIZ!'' I shouted, my voice echoing through the house. I ran into one of the living rooms, glad to find him watching some random Turkish series. ''Aziz, can I go to 360 with Shoug, Ghalia, Jana and Lulu?'' I said impatiently.
''AZIZ!'' I shouted, my voice echoing through the house. I ran into one of the living rooms, glad to find him watching some random Turkish series. ''Aziz, can I go to 360 with Shoug, Ghalia, Jana and Lulu?'' I said impatiently.
''Sure,did you ask Amal to come with you?'' He said,shifting his eyes from the screen to me. ''No,but I'll ask her, I guess.'' I said.
My father re-married Mariam 6 months ago,and they moved in only a month ago. I couldn't really imagine what Amal has been through. She switched from a public Kuwaiti school,to my British school. She left all her friends and her old house,but she never complained. Her mother looks as if she would rather read a new fashion article in a magazine or go shopping then spend time with her daughter. Amal, on the other hand looks at her mother as if she would ruin her life in a blink of an eye just to make her mother happy. I guess that's what we both have in common.
My mother was never really close to me,and never really cared to spend any time with me. But never the less I loved her dearly. I remember my struggle to make myself feel wanted by her, following her around, always trying to engage her in some kind of game, before being ushered off by one of my nannies, in order to ''not disturb'' her. But she carried me for 9 months, and provided me life. How could I not love her? She died when I was 12, after being in a bad car accident.
''Make her feel a part of the family'' Aziz said, giving me a caring look. ''Okay'' I said smiling. I quickly ran upstairs and replied to Shoug.
SaraAlX- PING!!!
PING!!!
I'M COMING!!!
Shoug;* - greatttt! Meet me at B+F at 7:30! x
SaraAlX- Okay,but I'm bringing Amal!
Shoug;* - YAY!! Shes so sweet:p
I sighed,I could always count on Shoug to be happy. I checked the time: 5:45
SaraALX- gonna go get ready! Meet you at 7:30! xo
I closed the chat and went to go knock on Amal's door. Her room was the one farthest from ours,since she was the last child to move in. I put my hand on the door to knock when I heard her voice. It sounded like she was crying, her sobs full of grief.
what happened to her?!
