8:06pm

Abuja, Nigeria.

Mehr got dressed in her uniform in a hurry before running out of the room with her bag draped on her shoulder. She ran down the stairs to the dinning room, kissing each of her family members on the cheek before sprinting out of the house to the car with her plate of food - breakfast.

She didn't wake up early today cos Kydah woke up with a migraine so she couldn't wake her up early and her alarm wasn't with her. Amdaad took it yesternight saying he's taking his girlfriend; Adiva to school in the morning so he needs alarm.

"Mallam Audu I'm already late be fast puh-lease." she almost yelled frustrated.

"I'm trying Meheru." he said stepping on the gas. They arrived shortly, he bid her adieu cos she didn't bid him, she was in a hurry so she just waved.

"You're late Miss Malik." Mr Thomas says in his British accent. "I'm sorry Mr. T, I got carried away" she apologized walking further into the classroom whilst their English teacher has continued his lectures.

She waved at Makiyyah before sitting next to Afnaan who's the only one in their squad apart from Makiyyah in her English class.

The class was dead silent till Fareeda, the one and only queen bee crabbed as usual - "Excuse sir, this chair is uncomfortable." she stifles but Mr. Thomas knows better than to listen to her.

"Hey!" Fareeda purred looking at Afnaan like a piece of shit - as usual. "Can I help ya?" Afnaan asked looking at her two minions - Zainab and Hannah before looking back at her. "I think so. We want to choose the dancers this year so we're just here to let you know. And it's our last year as you know."she surly said attempting to walk away.

Afnaan is the Social Prefect, so she has the right to allow them or not to so she said "Oh little queen bee, I won't allow a person whose gob is not found in our planet to choose my dancers." Afnaan said gutsy. Mehr and the rest were cognizance to what was happening. It's not like this is the first time.

"Are you talking to me?" Fareeha shrieked "Is there any other person with a gob-like-mouth here?" Afnaan asked dramatically gasping. "Tell me about it" Yamina brusquely said pushing Fareeda slightly. "You can go now." Mehr talked for the first time.

"This is not the end." Fareeda said storming out of the school garden where they were all enjoying the whether instead of being in the cafeteria. "There will be World War Three don't worry." Baqir yelled at her retreating figure.

"How are you feeling didi?" Mehr asked asked Kydah who was sitting on her bed with her iPhone 7+ placed lazily on her stomach as if she was waiting for a reply, message or phone call. "Better" Kydah answered kissing Mehr's cheeks as Mehr did the same thing.

"Lemme just take a shower. We're going to Cold stone. Ya Habeeb is taking us there." Mehr said slipping out of her uniform. She ascend to the bathroom to take a long hot shower but she make it quick cos Ya Habeeb was yelling out her name from downstairs.

She rushed to their walk in closet to get something to wear. Her eyes dropped on a white, blue, red and pink flowery gown with a blue necklace and a pink veil. With matching pink shoes, bag and phone case. She lined a kohl perfectly in her eyes before running down the stairs only to see Ya Habeeb and Kydah in the car waiting for her.

"Ya Mashkur." his cousin; Zoya called running to hug him but he stopped her. "Don't!" he warned raising a finger. "Sorry" she said not a little bit embarrassed.

"Oh Ferozah, how are you?" she asked Ferozah who was looking at her cousin weirdly; heartless she thought. "I'm fine Alhamdulillah" Ferozah said turning once her heels to leave the spoilt brat. Her mother; Aunty Yana their mother's younger sister, spoiled her way too much.

"That's because I love your brother girl, I wouldn't have said a word or even look at you." Ferozah muttered under her breath walking to her mother who was talking to Mashkur's.

"I don't think that's a good idea bro." Zahir said sitting down on the bed next to Mukhtaar who was busy whining about needing a break from work. "I'll pretend to be sick tomorrow so that I won't go to work." Mukhtaar whined again.

"Man up bro" Anwaar said patting his shoulder. Mukhtaar just started working so he's not used to it.

"I love you more Baby." we heart Meenal said over phone when they finished talking with Muhseen. Wow! He's so lucky to have her, they're just my couple crush. Mashkur thought.

"Lemme call my baby too." Habeeb said bringing out his iPhone X from his jeans pocket. "Hey baby!" he joyfully said over the phone to Deenar.

"Gosh! You guys should stop this calling Baby Baby Haba." Anwaar said with an annoyed look on his face. "Wani ma yayi.(Someone too should have his)" Muhseen said sticking out his tongue at his best friend. Then they started; Arguing.

"Bye!" they all bid Mashkur adieu before walking out of the house to their cars. Zoya came in to his side of the house with a piece of cake in a plate.

"Ya Mashkur, come let's eat" she said sitting on the sofa comfortably. "Leave my house." he said pointing at the door.

"Ha'an, ai nima it's my house." she stubbornly said changing the channel. "Leave my room before I ruin you day or maybe the whole week." he warned menacingly.

"Haba Ya Mashkur, it's your little Zoya fah." she whined "Fuck my little Zoya and go to hell." he said frustrated. He didn't want to touch her but she left him with no choice than to do just that. He dragged her out of the living room.

"I'll keep on trying Ya Mashkur, you must love me." she vowed looking at him dead in the eyes. "Goodbye" He said closing the door on her face.
