That's the saddest thing i have ever heard. I didn't even need him to proceed, i know why he's mad at my mother, she probably was the reason she died. It explains the grudge he held for my mother. 

So i decided i'll finished my home works, then i heard abdulrahman say out loud like he's in some military thing "Mafeha ela el5air yba" 

Yba?

her father!

I quickly gathered anything that had my name on it and pretended like i was doing my homework which i was, but now i'm pretending.

"Ha baba" he said,

"Ahlan blwald" i started playing my part as shaikha, i'm actually good at it i might pursue acting i don't know.

"Shlounch elyoum?" He asked, gosh he's the sweetest, i barely talk to my father, "el7mdella ga3da akml drosi" i replied with a smile. 

"Sha6ra bnty" he said and i think i had an awkward smile on my face, great my acting dreams has been shattered. 

He smiled at me and left. 

Remind me to never switch with shaikha, ever again.

i texted shaikha that i found out and about her father. I also texted d3ay telling him i'll be visiting him during the weekends.

The next day, 

After doing all the general morning school day doings, and after reaching school.

I hurried to the homeroom, Shaikha was there, i knew she would because i'm always early. 

I sat and we waited until everyone arrived so i don't have to 'tell the tale' again.

After everyone arrived, i started telling them everything, shaikha look traumatised by that, 

"knt bakon ele5t elakbr" she said with a sad face. 

"Ee ana en9damt w fe nfs elwgt enksr 5a6ri" i said. 

M7md looked deep in thought like he wasn't buying it. 9gr didn't look like it was a life changing thing but he felt sad about it. Sara was as us shocked and sad. 

Now that everything is clear to me i no longer have to worry about anything. I mean this is clearly why he didn't want to talk about it, he was old enough to realise many things around him to see his mother crying over her dead child. 

Today was also this girl noof birthday, m7md showed me her and i remembered her. 

Before the break started, the gang pulled me to a corner and asked me to talk about something for a moment. 

"Shsalfa?" I asked,

"Hai elbnt lulwa m3jba fe m7md" said sara as she started while looking around, i looked at them with an eye brow lifted, "enz-" she cutted me off saying "w pretend ench with him bs chthe aby achoof wayha" she said with excitement expecting me to say yes. They all did, it seemed as if prank is their thing. 

I giggled and said "okay" 

We entered the surprise party and i could clearly see that lulwa has a crush on m7md.

All of us took a seat, m7md sat next to me and had an arm placed behind me resting it on my chair. 

I could see the gangs faces, full of devious smiles. Gosh what have i dragged myself into.

How does this work, i'm not found of relationships. I see them in my old school and in movies but when it comes to now pretending to be in one is hard, it feels awkward.

Sara whispered to me "hold his hands" i looked at her like what.

He whispered in my ears "shgalat" 

Shit, i could feel his hot breath on my neck, i wasn't used to this i started breathing weirdly, but i had to improvise.

I whispered back "hold my hands" 

We had eye contact as he held my hand and never broke contact.

My heart was furiously pounding, my face and whole body was heating up, i was going to panic but he squeezed my hand trying to let me calm down.

"Oh my god you guys look cute" whispered sara, i without looking at her and gave her an elbow hit aka 36ait'ha bko3.

[m7md's POV] 

As wrong as it might sound, this by far is my favourite prank. I know that sara did this on purpose because she knows that i'm developing feeling for hessa. 

This does sound horrible more like manipulation but a prank is a prank.

I promise you, that i wasn't agreeing on this no matter who it is that has a crush on me, feeling are feelings.

It did feel awkward at first, the whole pretending to be a couple. But i won't lie i loved every moment of it.

Damn, it will be really hard to keep such promise with her around. 

But i'm a man of my words, until i make sure that my mother is living happily in her own house, her own property then i may just may think about love.

From that moment, right after our hands met i decided that i will stop wanting to feel like this. 

Becides she's basically a thing with that guy d3ay, i shrugged and let her hand go, but i left my hand resting the back of her. Suddenly i'm hating what's going on.

I scanned the classroom and i could see lulwa taking glimpses of us as she was preparing.

"Okay okay she's coming" yelled more like hissed a girl i wasn't familiar of her name, but was to her face. 

So we got up to surprise noof.

She was, she looked like she didn't see that coming and then it turned to drama because she cried. 

We ate cake, we socialised and that was it, when we left sara started re-acting how lulwa looked like. It was hilarious. 

Sara never really liked lulwa, and i'm pretty sure they hold a grudge of some kind because this isn't just about a prank.

"7dch knty awesome! ana 9adgt enkm couples" she told hessa

She shyly giggled and smiled "est7at" said 9gr mocking her. She lightly hit his shoulder and he pretended like he was dying.  

"Wala lma yawdtaw yad b39' 3younha shwy w etshgg wayhch" said shaikha.  

We laughed throughtout, but suddenly i had a weird feeling i don't know what that is, but it's painful, A feeling of impending doom, that something horrible is about to happen, that i may be in grave danger, and more of a choking sensation, and it feels like my throat is closing up and i'm finding it hard to breath, it's like my heart is pounding for no reason. 

I leaned onto a wall close by and tried to catch my breath.

"Wee shfek m7md?" Asked sara.

I lifted my head, to see all of their faces looking all concerned about me. I have no idea what this is.

"Ma- 3arf" i kept trying to catch my breath what the hell is this. 

"M7md sht7s feh" asked hessa

"Glby kna by6l3 mn bl3omi w kna shy y39ra w magdr atnafs" i managed to say. 

"I think you have an anxiety attack" she said.

Anxiety? Me?

"What" said sara

"Shdrach?" Asked 9gr

"I get that alot and your condition is severe" she said. 

"How do you make it stop" asked shaikha. i just sat on the ground, i couldn't stand. 

"Okay okay lets all sit kna bnba96 hne shaklna weird" she ordered. 

And they all did.

"Okay breath just try calming yourself by breathing, trying to settle your heart beats" she ordered.

God this is painful. 

"Shla y9edch anxiety" asked sara

"Huni i get anxiety after drinking coffee or eating chocolate i literally have no idea why i get it, it just sort of happens" she said.

I'm starting to catch my breath slowly, this is the worst feeling ever. 

We started chatting and break was basically over 15 minutes ago we should be in our class, if it wasn't for my melt down. 

Question is why did i get anxiety attack. I'm not the kind of guy that worr-

Come to think of it..

I sighed and though,

'This is going to be harder than i thought.'
