Welcome to the cruel world. Chapter 14.

We were in the car now, me in the back seat with Dana, Khaled is driving and Nawal is sitting in the front seat. After me accidentally hearing the phone call between Khaled and an anonymous girl I practically ran down the stairs when I felt him approaching the door and I haven't said a word since, I don't think he suspects anything.

But I'm trying to not jump to conclusions, it's hard but I won't.

Dana was wearing extra tight clothes which is like a habit of hers when we all go out especially with Khaled. And dare I say, it kinda made me jealous. She's this carefree, spoiled and extremely beautiful for a girl her age. She doesn't have scars both on the in and out side. She doesn't have to worry about anything but me? -sigh-

I stopped thinking about it when we got to the avenues parking. It was crowded (no surprise there)

While trying to look for a parking space Khaled said, "girls shraykum tanzloun till I park?" The parking lot was full.

"Khla9 me and Dana will go and wait for you inside." Nawal said with a big evil smile on her face. She was up to something, again.

"But what about me?" I said while raising my hand like a student wanting to answer in class.

"You'll stay with Khaled cause we can't leave him alone" Nawal said while getting out of the car.

"Hey, I can stay with Khaled." Dana said while grinning.

"NO." Khaled and Nawal both yelled at the same time and I had to stifle my laugh.

"Uh ah I mean no you should go 3lashan this week is yours to pick where we'll eat!" Khaled said to Dana.

"Ugh fine." She said while getting out of the car, her evil eyes looking straight into mine -shivers- man, that girl is cray cray.

"Ma tabeen tyeen jdam?" Khaled said looking at me from the mirror.

"Hmm sure." I said trying not to show that i wanted too so bad.

I got out of the car and opened the front door but since my skirt was too long I had to lift it up a bit so I'd get in. When I got in I took a peak at Khaled's face and I saw a pained look on it. When I saw what he was looking I found one of my scars that was on my ankle just sitting there, not willing to go away.

I knew I had to break him free from his thoughts so I said in a soft, low voice, "umm, we should get going.."

"Huh? Oh right right." He said after snapping out of it.

After 20 minutes we finally parked. He got out of the car and I was looking at myself in the mirror and when I was done I found him holding my door open and his hand extended so he'll help me down. *his car is a range rover and it's pretty high*

"Shall we?" He said, still holding my hand.

I giggled, "we shall." I said raising my head so I'd look at him. He was pretty tall.

But then I remembered the phone call and I ripped my hand away from his and started walking. Ughhhh the nerve of him!

I could tell that he was confused cause he caught up with me and said, "heyyy what's wrong? What did I do?" While holding my arm, his eyes asking for an explanation.

It was on the tip of my tongue but I thought that it was none of my business so I said, "nothing, we should get going" while looking at anything or anyone but him cause he's like a lie detector.

As soon as we entered the avenues I was hit by the smell of smoke and perfume. Not a good combination. Khaled called Nawal and asked them where they were and they said they're next to the cinema. Since it neither time for lunch not dinner we decided to go to a movie. So Nawal and Dana were booking the tickets, Khaled was in the bathroom and I was getting the snacks (popcorn, candy, beverages.. etc).

"BOO" a voice said behind me making me jump from my place. I turned around with my hand over my chest and saw a grinning Khaled. I gave him my "death stare" and turned around again. Everyone knew how easily scared I was. "P.S 3aboud is not with us, we dropped him at my aunts place."

Finally, it was our turn. After getting everything we or shall I say I started looking for the girls whereas Khaled was too busy punching his iPhones screen with his fingers. Talking to his girlfriend , I assume. Pffft, I don't care so why should I think about him?

I finally found them and we started walking towards our screen room. I was busy talking to Nawal to ask what movie we were in.

The room was flooding with teenagers and adults. We finally sat down and I was the settings were (Nawal-me-Khaled-Dana) I swear, I could almost feel Dana's heart beating at a fast pace when we found out that we was sitting next to Khaled. -.-

We started taking pictures using my iPhone's front camera till the advertisements started.

Now the movie started. I was expecting a hot guy appearing on the screen but instead I was surprised when I heard creepy music in the background. I was confused, like really confused. So, I slightly turned my head to Nawals side and asked her, "hey, which movie is this?".

She had this look on her face that she always had when she did something wrong, Allah yaster....

"Um, promise you won't kill me.." She whispered, her eyes glued to the screen.

"I ain't promising you anything." I whispered back.

"Umm...... We'rewatchingmama." She said so quickly that I didn't understand anything at all.

"Mara thanya and slowly this time, please."

"We're watching mama...."

"NA3AM???" I said in a loud voice. Everyone around me were "hushing" me

I said in a lower voice, "are you guys being serious?"

"Shhhhh watch the movie" Nawal said, her eyes glued to the screen.

Ugh, I hate scary movies.

"Hey shfeeich?" Khaled asked me while leaning slightly to my side.

"You know damn well shfeene" I said with anger in my voice.

"Look it was Dana's choice and it's not that scary" He whispered while grabbing a fistful of popcorn and stuffing it inside his mouth.

Of course it was Dana's choice. I bet she'd love to see me humiliate myself.

I decided to get over my fear and watch the stinking movie.

Not 20 minutes into it and I'm already hiding my face in Khaled's shoulder. I could feel his shoulders vibrating from his laughter. -.-

"You're so cute when you're scared" he whispered in my ear while grinning.

"Chub" I whispered back trying to hold in my screams of terror.

After an hour it finished and I breathed out like I was running a marathon.

That was the last time I'll ever watch a scary movie.

Literally everyone was laughing at me-.-

When we got out of the theatre room they were still laughing..

"Uff ma a7ebkum" I said while pouting.

"You know i -cough- I mean, we love you" Khaled said with a hint of redness on his cheeks.

One word; CUTE.


We were walking towards Texas Roadhouse that was located in grand avenue when a blonde girl wearing a really tight and short dress, tons of makeup on her face started walking towards us with her stilettos.

Please say it isn't so. Please please please.

When she was five feet away from us she said in an awfully loud voice, "KHALOUDIII" and she ran and hugged him.

He had his eyes wide open in surprise but then he looked at me with sorry filled eyes.

Well, there goes my heart.
