Raghad's point of view;
“Helloo!”
what am i getting myself into..
i felt the sudden adrenaline rush through my whole body. i thought that doing the wrong thing feels right but everything in me screams DO NOT DO THAT.
but i ignored the voices in my head anyways, i wanted this. i want to try this.
he answered 10 minutes later
“hey?”
i'm so nervous my hands are sweaty and i dont have any idea what should i say..
“how are yaa” me trying to sound cool and chill which is obviously i'm not. specially not now.
“fine”
“kaif jbti my username? m7d y3rfa ela eli greben mne!”
oh crap! now what should i say? i dont understand how do some girls manage to talk to guys all the time without messing it up and embarrassing themselves.
“ana wa7da mu3ajba feek w swet elmust7el 3shan ajeba” really raghad?? this is the best you could come up with?
“lol okayyh..” he texted back
“so hows your midterms?” who asks about school these days? damn i sound so nerdy.
“walla ma ft7t wala ktab”
we chatted for a bit and then i told him about my midterms and he found out which college i go to. so much for the fake account. so i tried to be more careful.
at first i felt like i was being annoying and i was bothering him so i stopped talking. and then he was like “yo!”
“yeah?” i replied
“6g6gna shwai w '67kna al7en mn jd goleli meen enti?” he asked
“i told you that my name is Rana!” i tried to sound confident.
“law agoulk kam fake account yji y7akeni bil esbu3 mara7 t9dgen, 9rt 5bra bil fake accounts and i can tell that yours is fake, tell me who you are?”
i sighed. should i tell him or not?
“i dont feel comfortable enough to tell you who i am, if it bothers you that i'm talking to you through a fake account then i'll stop” i replied
“uhmm” he texted back instantly.
so what does that mean? are we gonna keep talking or is that it? weirdo.
i was scrolling down my timeline on instagram and found a picture that Rahaf posted two hours ago and i saw a comment from Mohammed on her picture. so i clicked on his profile and i was hoping that it wasn't private and my wish came true, it wasn't!
i scrolled down his pictures, i felt like there was a contest between the girls on who's the first to write a comment on his pictures, girls were all over him.
and he wasn't even that hot! well two points for him for being tall, 1 point for having a nice clean beard, 8 point for having beautiful white teeth... and that was it! other than that he looks any other guy, he's white, he wears glasses(and looks cute wearing them)
and.. OH CRAP! i just liked a picture of his blackberry pin that he posted over two years ago. the word FML was being repeated in my head, oh the embarrassment...
“so...”

Madhawi's point of view;
i was laughing out loud at what i was watching on the tv and talking to Ed on the phone
“laa la amana m'6awi shoufi hatha mag63i el mufa'6l” he said with so much excitement in his voice
we were watching That's so raven together, well.. almost together and i cant stop laughing at the comments he made at everything.
“amana ma t7seenah jamd law t9ereen tshoufen el musta8bal” he asked
“la ma3laaishh ma abi a9eer k2anni majnona” i said
“o8smbellah fallah tl5meen om el nas!”
suddenly my mom walked in the living room and she looked suspicious, i acted like i wasn't doing anything wrong.
“3anoud mama jat shway w akalmk okay?”
“al7en ana 6oul w 3r'6 w rjoulh fil a5er 9rt 3noud!” acting like he was offended
“kli zag mub wagtk yalla bye” i said laughing
i hung up the phone
“hala mama kaifk?”
“el7amdellah wrak gflti mn al3noud youm jet '3reba?” she acted stupid
“knt basulf m3ak wa7shtni! mama ba6la3 m3 3anoud 6yb?”
“eeh darya hathi swalfk ma tben tsolfen ella 3n el 6l3at w el jyat!”
i kissed her forehead and went to my room to get changed and call the real 3anoud, tomorrow is Ed's birthday and i wanna go birthday gift haunting with 3anoud!
after hours of roaming around Centeria i couldn't find anything that i felt expressed Ed's personality, 3anoud bought him a perfume, what a surprise! i wanna buy him something unique, something that will show him that i spent hours thinking about it, something thoughtful, but i just dont know what..
we got out of the mall and in the way back i was upset that i couldn't find the perfect gift for Ed, we passed by a mini market that has all the old candies that we used to love when we were kids, and i remembered Ed telling something like “msht'hi el m9a9at om eshara eli a5'6ar a7mar a9far mu lageehum b wla b8ala!” i told the driver to stop at the mini market and luckily i found what i was looking for, i dropped 3anoud at her house and went back to mine.
the next morning i woke up anxious about today and whats gonna happen.
of course i called Ed when 12AM and i was the first to wish him a happy birthday, he just turned 22 habeebi
but he made me feel like he was waiting for someone else to call him so he hung up, whatever.
-8AM-
we were waiting for Ed at Johnny Rockets, i was nervous. fuck i was never this nervous about a boy.
i was drinking my milkshake and texting him
“tstahbil ent yalla waink 9arlna sana nstnak??” trying not to sound too nervous
“yalla ana 3nd el bab”
he arrived and shivered when i first saw him, i kept staring at him, he's so different in person, he's tall and thin, the funny thing that his hair is brownish, i always make fun of him for that, and his eyes.... i couldn't look away from his eyes they were like magnits i swear if he asked anything from me i'd say yes immediately.
“la salam wla shai” he grinned
“hala walla kaifk” when i stood up to handshake him i accidantely hit my milkshake glass and it spilled all over his jeans.
“ya3 fsheela!” 3anoud said laughing.
i looked for tissues to give it to him to clean this mess up but couldn't find so i went to the other table and i slipped on the curtains and it fell on the people that were sitting on that table. WHAT THE HELL.
Ed and 3anoud were staring at me with shock so i held the curtains and put it on the table and apologized to the people.
shit.... what got into me?
