~Mohammad's Point of View~

I woke up at 11 am and changed&got ready to go out again with the guys. This weekend is the 25th&26th of February, and what does that mean? National&liberation day! Anyway, so I got ready and called Yousef.

Mohammad: Yalaaah ana baraa

Yousef: Kani yaay

I hung up the phone and hurried to Mohammad's car.

Yousef: Hello

Fa re7na ou it was really fun. The rest of the weekend went the same way and on Saturday night I did my homework then checked Twitter. I had a new follower, @RawanAlXx. Shtabyy hathe? I pretended ina I didn't see the follow and I closed Twitter and went to sleep.

It was Sunday and I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I put on my dishdasha, qetra&3gal then took my schoolbag and headed to the car. Our school usually has celebrations on Thursdays, but this time khaloha on a Sunday. Elmohim, I was participating in the traditional dance with Yousef and some of our other friends, and so we get to skip most of the periods today!

I went downstairs and got into the car, then the driver drove my brothers and I to school. As soon as I got there, I saw Layan leaving the girls bathroom. She smiled at me&I smiled back.

Anyway, the day was going great and Yousef and I got out of classes to practice the dance, and at 12 it was finally time for us to go onstage and do the dance. I felt really nervous with all those eyes on me, but somehow I managed to do it and keep up. While we were dancing, I was surprised to see Layan&Rawan in the crowd staring at me while smiling and clutching each others arms.. That's weird=)) So when we were done, I saw Yousef giving them a glare as he walked off stage.

Mohammad: Ha shfeek Yasfo 3sa ma shar=))?

Yousef: Shft'hom??

Mohammad: Shft mno?

Yousef: Nevermind.

I knew what he meant but I wanted to see if he would say anything. The school had a lunch set up&there was a tent and all kinds of traditional Kuwaiti things everywhere, people were in dishdashas, dara3as and 3abayas... It was actually really funny.

Yousef and I sat in the dewaneya area with Khalid, Bader and Salem and talked about the dance and how well the day was going. I heard a squeal from behind me and slightly turned around to see Layan blushing from the corner of my eyes.. Ashkra mtfashka ymkn it7eb Yousef ou in9admat ena he looked at her? Madri. Elmohim, Rawan and Layan were walking around and it was getting kind of obvious that they were trying to get either Yousef's attention or mine, so I acted as if I didn't notice them.

~Yousef's Point of View~

Yousef: 7amood goum m3ay barou7 ayeebly akel you3an

Mohammad: Yallah kany

We went to the buffet& I got my food, but when we got to the sandwich&9aj section I saw Rawan&Layan waiting for food. Layan seems to be too shy to even eat in public, but Rawan and her friend who I think is called Yasmeen were holding their plates and waiting.

As soon as Mohammad was in their sight, I heard them talking.

Layan: Umbay Rawoon rf3ay rasch bser3a.

Rawan: Laish..?

Layan: Ohoo entay bas rf3ay bs mu itkhaleena ashkraa!

Rawan raised her head and I saw both her and Layan blushing and looking at 7amood in embarrassment.

Rawan: Oh hey guys!

Mohammad: Hala, shlonkum?

Both: Bkhairr el7mdlaa&you?

Mohammad: Tmam:p

Mohammad: Yalah 3an ithnkom e7na bnrou7 3nd rab3na

Rawan&Layan: Byee!

We went back to the dewaniya area as if nothing had just happened and we kept talking and laughing until the bell rang.

Mohammad: Yallah ana barou7

Bader: Ee hman ana

Yousef: Ana bg3ad shway, wnasa;p

Mohammad: Yalah 3ayal enshofkom bacher

~Mohammad's Point of View~

Bader and I walked away and headed to the gate wela faj2a:

Bader: 7amood chayek hathy chnha t7ebik el shagra ely gam tmshy wrana, ga3d itkhezik!

Te9arwa3t shway: Haa??

Bader: Shouf chnk gam itdawr a7ad!

I turned around to see Layan also heading to the gate behind us, maskeena hal bent taksr elkhaa6er a7es'ha 7ail baree2a.

Mohammad: La shku a9lan hathy rfeejat my cousin shku et7bny

Bader: Mmm ee g9 3la nafsk;p

I don't know why but I believed him. I've never thought a girl could like me before bas Layan ou Rawan they act strange around me, ya3ni ana shayefhom shlon lma maydroun eny mwjod ou 7adhom ghair, y3ny klish mu nafs ma ykonon m3ay ana ou Ywaisef.

Mohammad: Yallah Badoor ashoufk bacher

Bader: Bye

I got into the car in which my brothers were waiting for me&we headed home.
