Loved the feedback I got on the first post! I can't even begin to describe how happy I was that you guys liked it. Someone suggested I write this post in the girl's point of view and make it longer so i hope this one is long enough and just as good.
With love,

It's been three
months since the playground incident and I can still remember it like it
was yesterday…
I woke up that
day to the most annoying and hated sound ever… the alarm clock. If there was a competition
on which inanimate object is the most hated the alarm would win first place
for sure. But today was different. Today that annoying sound signified the start
of a new me. I'm done being depressed and shutting people out of my life
because of someone else's actions. Today is day 1, a new beginning to the new
me.
I got up and went
straight to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. As soon as I
looked up in the mirror I saw someone else. I no longer looked at what I hated
about my body and focused on what I liked.
"I guess I like
my hair…" I said to myself as I played with my brown hair. "My eyes aren’t
all that bad too. I mean… I'd prefer them to be lighter but brown is good…
"My thoughts were distracted by my nanny banging on my door
"NOOR! QUICKLY
YOUR BROTHER AND DRIVER OUTSIDE!"
"Okayy! Al7een
nazla! Tell him to wait!"
I quickly
finished getting dressed, got my bag and the supplies I bought for the first
day and ran down the stairs and into the car to find Rashed, my older brother, playing with his phone.
"Taw il nass,
any longer and we would’ve been late -.-"
They dropped me off at my school and left immediately since he was already late because of
traffic. I walked in through the doors to see the same people I've known
for as long as I can remember. The same
boring old faces greeting each other, talking about their trips and how much
fun they had during the summer. That's when one face caught my eye… one that I haven’t
seen before. He was standing there looking like a lost puppy which I found
really funny and cute at the same time. I sat on the nearest bench and just watched him look
around trying to take the whole scene in. That’s when I started noticing his
features and realized he didn’t look bad at all. Tall, messy brown hair, tanish,
mysterious looking…
"oh shitt…"
He was looking straight back at me.
*rinnnggg* Saved
by the bell!
I quickly got up and went up the
stairs to the bulletin board and skimmed through the lists to see which class I
was in. There it was "Noura Al-X". Once I found my name I started
going through the rest of the list to see who I was gonna be stuck with for the
next year.
"She's okay,
EW, ew, ew, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, noisy, he smells… wait who is he??
Fahad Al-X… never heard of him."
I didn't give it
much thought and just went to my first period class, English. I sat in the back
of the class where I will hopefully not be bothered and called upon by the
teachers. Class started and the teacher, Mrs. Farley, walked in and greeted the
class and started talking to us about the curriculum which I had no interest in
and started playing with my pen. She was halfway done talking when someone came
into the class and interrupted her. I looked up and there he was. The mysterious new face.
Mrs. Farley
"and who do we have here?"
"I'm
Fahad Al-X"
"And why were
you late Fahad?"
"Sorry Mrs but
this is my first day and I got lost :$"
"Oh alright,
welcome. There's empty seat next to Noura near the back"
NOOOO!
He looked straight at me and immediately smiled… oh
what a beautiful smile. I turned so red
and avoided eye contact as he came and sat down next to me. Mrs. Farley
continued with the class while I zoned out again and didn't pay attention to
anything she or what the teacher in the next two classes said.
*RINNNGGG*
Finally break time. I got my lunch from my bag and saw the lollipop my mom
always leaves me for the first day of school. I immediately opened it, put it
in my mouth and took out my phone while making my way to the playground. I went outside and the sun was shining
brightly and the birds were chirping in the trees nearby. As I was enjoying the
scenery I accidentally bump into Jasim – the class bully. Being his bully self
he decided to put a show on for his friends.
"WATCH IT
DWEB"
"You watch
where you're going! What are you blind??
"
By then most of
his friends had gathered by and he got really angry so he snatched the lollipop out
of my mouth, pushed me and smashed the lollipop on the ground while grinning
down at me. I felt a lump starting to form in my throat watching it shatter to a million pieces. My eyes watered. NO! I
was not gonna give him the pleasure of seeing me cry.
"Awhh is the
little baby gonna cry??" he asked sarcastically.
I glanced down at
the floor wanting to cry but I strongly fought that urge and just as I started
to break down and cry I took one last glance at him to see him turn around only
to get punched right in the face, which was followed by a loud crack that
echoed around the playground and the laughter of all the onlookers dying out
while they analyzed what just happened. I couldn’t see who it was from the
sunlight in my eye but I felt a hand wrap around me lifting me to my feet and moving
me away from everyone.
Still crying I looked up to see who my knight and
shining armor was and staring back down at me were those beautiful brown eyes. He
pulled me into his arms and said those words that I will never forget my entire
life.
