Him and Her 2

We went into class after Maha convinced me that it was ok, all I had to do was avoid eye contact and maybe he wouldn’t even recognize me. As we waited for the next class to start I noticed a guy sitting alone in the back of the class, he was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans wit his black hair causally pushed back. He had a tan and a lean muscular physique. He was so hot.
I never say that about anyone, actually I never even thought that of a real life guy. I was staring, trying not to stare since it was rude and stalkerish but I couldn’t help myself. That’s when he noticed.
I tried to break the eye contact but I couldn’t do it, it was like I was frozen in this bubble.
He was staring at me now too with eyes like melted chocolate, I could feel my heart beating rapidly as he picked up his coffee cup and raised an eyebrow at me.
That’s when it clicked that this might be Sara’s brother, please please let me be wrong, I muttered.

“Maha” I whispered “where is he sitting?”
“He’s the one in the back, staring at you” she said laughing silently.
That was the second moment today when I just wanted to disappear. Thankfully our teacher finally showed up. He started by telling us about how this course was very important and how we were supposed to take it seriously. I just wanted the time to pass so I could leave this class and end this horrible day. I was concentrating on not looking in his direction when the teacher slipped a paper on my desk, it just had a name on it “Mayed”.

I turned to Maha “Shu el salfa?”
“This is the person you will be working on the major project with”
“And who the hell is this Mayed guy?” I asked angrily.
“e7m” I heard someone clear their throat and when I looked up, it was him. Of all the freaking people in this freaking class it had to be Him.


We sat together while I was internally panicking, trying to figure out a way out of this uncomfortable situation, while trying not to gaze at his hotness. All of this made my face turn into various shades of bright red. Maha was shooting me glares across the room while fanning her face with a paper, I knew she was trying to get me to calm down but it wasn’t helping. It didn’t matter anyway since he didn’t even look at me, he was so engrossed in whatever he was writing.
“Sorry about the coffee incident” I said shyly, trying to break the akward silence.
“Whatever… 3adi” he said without even looking up from his paper.
“La mush 3adi, I’m not normally such a klutz but I ...”
He rudely cut me off, “Look I don’t need to hear your girl drama, we just need to set the tasks for us to finish this project”
Rude! It was clear now that Sara wasn’t the only rude person in their family.
“What’s your name again?” he asked, finally looking up from his paper.
“Latifa” I said, annoyed that he couldn’t even bother to remember my name.
“Inzain this is what you have to work on,” he said giving me a piece of paper with a list of things I had to research. “And this is my email if you need any help”
Help?! I’ll show this idiot that I was waaaay smarter than him, I thought to myself, before getting up and falling haphazardly into his lap.

This was So not my day...
