Chapter 34

I stared at her with a look of puzzlement on my face. What on earth was she talking about?


''What?'' I said, looking anxiously at her phone screen.

''Do you have Rama Al X on BBM?'' Bdour asked urgently.

''No, why?'' I said, panic rising in my voice at the reminder of her name.


I did not like where this conversation was heading.


''Look at her picture.''

*Yousef's point of view.


I aimlessly walked through the halls with Faris and Sultan, not having any intentions of going to arabic class.  This week I really got to know Sultan, and the person who I thought of as creepy was actually pretty cool. There were only two more hours until school was over, so we all were headed to the roof.


''Yousef!'' I heard a familiar voice call out from behind me.



Rama.




''This girl will not leave me alone!'' I thought to myself. I sighed, turning around.


''What, Rama?'' I said, a thick edge of annoyance in my voice.


''Can I talk to you?''  She said, batting her eyelashes thick with dark clumps of mascara, or whatever the hell you call it. I examined her face, looking for any signs that she might just be joking. She was wearing tons of makeup, chunks of foundation smeared accross her face. I always hated girls who wore too much makeup. I was glad that Sara didn't do that, I thought she was beautiful just the way she was.


''Will you leave me alone then?'' I said, nodding to the guys to go on with out me.


She nodded, and watched them walk away, leaving us alone in the hallway.


''Look, i need you to do something.'' She said, a serious tone in her voice.


''And why would I help you?'' I chuckled. That girl was unbeleiveable.


''Because you wouldn't want anyone to find out about our little secret, would you?''


''You wouldn't.'' I said, trying to hide the surprise in my voice.


''I still have the picture right here.'' She said, pulling out her blackberry, scrolling through it for a few seconds, then showing me the picture on the screen.



It was a picture of me and her from last year, just a bit before Sara became friends with her. My arm was around her neck, and her lips were pressed against my cheek.  I was grinning at the camera, my smile bigger then ever.



It was taken while me and Rama were dating.
