Perfume - Chapter 1

Oh god, oh god! 
What have I gotten myself into?? 
Why isn't he leaving me alone? 

For you to understand what's really going on, I'll have to tell you my story. Get ready to hear the unheard.


2 Months ago.

"WAAAKE UUUPP LAZZY BUUTT!!" Ughh can't a girl get some sleep?

"Mmm.. saloom aby anam please" I pleaded.

"Shahood walla i4a ma gmty bagoul l ommk!" Salma threatened.

"Uff!! 5ala9 gmt, gmt! happy?" No no no! I hate it when she threatens me about telling mama.

"Very.. haha"

"GET OUT I WANT TO CHANGE" I am now VERY angry! I hate it when people wake me up early in the morning.

"You're so cranky when you wake up!"

"OUT"

"leaving"

and with that, I heard the door shut. If you haven't guessed it yet, I'm the cranky one, Shahad. And that annoying person waking me up is my best friend Salma, unfortunately. We're both 17 and high school seniors. Salma and I have VERY different personalities. I am actually surprised that we made it this long in our friendship. I mean come on 12 years of friendship is HUGE. Salma is the only person that knows everything about me. With her I'm an open book, and vice versa. Salma is the sister I never had, and I cannot imagine living life without her and she-

"SHAHOOODD!! WE'RE LATE" yelled Salma, obviously annoyed.

"COMING PEANUT BUTTER" Great.. We're late for school. Salma slept over yesterday, and we stayed up 'till 3:00 AM

I ran down the stairs and jumped into the car holding my za'atar sandwich in hand, smiling cheekily. I was now facing a furious Salma.

"Bubbles, how many times do I have to tell you not to be late?" she was trying to calm herself down. As you can see, Salma is a very punctual person and always has to be on time.

"Sorry buttercup, it's just that I couldn't get enough sleep and bec.. Ugghh!! Will you just forgive me?"

"Shahood, I'm actually glad that we're late today ... we have Math the first period"

"Ugghh! akrah el teacher marra tghaaar!! Bagy 20 dgeega w t5al9 el 79a el oola, tbeen nmr starbuck?"

"Bss lw kan el 7sab 3alaik"

"5ala9 3alay el7saab.. bs you're paying the next time okay?" laughing.

"We'll see!"

5 minutes later we arrived Starbucks, and surprisingly is was VERY crowded! Don't these people have school?

We saw a friend from school, and we went to greet her.

"SAAARRRAAA" Salma and I yelled, forgetting that we was in a crowded place.

She turned and saw us and immediatly screamed "SHAAHOODA!! SALOOMAA!!"

We ran to her, and we all grouped hug. We were acting as if it's been years since we last saw each other, when we actually met up with her yesterday. Suddenly, a voice called out-

"e7mm" it was guy's voice. I ignored, since I saw that there was no need to speak to a guy I didn't know. I told the girls that I'm going to get the drinks while they searched for a table.

I headed to the counter, ordered our drinks, and waited for them to finish.

"e7m" It's the same voice. Shahood ignore. Just ignore.

"e7m .. *cough* .. lw sma7ty?" Shahood ignore that creep.. When you have a problem ignore, and eventually it'll go away.

Suddenly I felt someone poking me, okay now this time he went too far! I turned around irritated..

"5air" I said, annoyed.

"Tarak 7ilwa" He flirted.

"Na3am?! Lw sm7t i7tirm nafsk!"

"5oothy hathie el waraga w la trdeeny" He handed me a piece of paper with a number written on it and 'Msa3ad' written on it "Banta'6r mokalimtk"

I got so angry, how can he think that any girl would hookup with him? The way he acted was the thing that ticked me. He acted as if I was the one drooling over him, when it's the opposite. Just as I was about to yell at him I hear someone say..

"YA 8ALEEL ELADAB!"
