Sophia p.o.v
As Yunus went to play with the kids who were playing on a swing, I walked around the place to get some fresh air, when my eyes spotted a familiar bike.
It was the same one that almost ran me over if I didn't stop running. I got closer to see if it was the same one.
I got mad once I found out it was the same bike, I kicked it hard as I scolded it like it was a human. Little did I know someone was standing behind me chuckling.
"It's amusing to see someone scolding a non-living thing," said a male voice.
I was surprised at what the person said as my heart skipped once I recognised the voice.
Please not him.
I turned and saw the person and it was him again, Alvaro?!
"Surprise! Shouldn't I know what you have against my bike?" he asked as he pointed at his sport bike.
"yo...you..own this bike? It looks cool now bye" I said as I tried to walk away from the embarrassing situation I got myself into.
"You haven't answered my question first" he then grip my arm.
"well, if I remember, you almost ran me over with it so I did what I did and am sure anyone else would do the same," I said as my heart skipped a bit as he got closer to me.
Before he could say something someone came between us as she pushed him away it was Samra.
"Who are you? And what do you want from my friend?" she asked him as she blocked me.
"Your friend here was trying to break my bike and I asked her what she was doing," he said as he looked at me.
"Well, she... Wait you own this bike? So you're the rider that almost ran me over with my friend at the camp?" she asked as she looked at the bike and him.
"He also ran you over? same here" I said as I looked at her.
"Not possible, you and your friend were running towards the road so I just passed by next yo you," he said as he came closer again.
As samra was about to argue with him, we heard Brian calling her and we all looked at him, Alvaro did as well.
What caught my attention how Brian called alvaro, cody which was indeed surprising because he said his name was alvaro and not cody.
Brian walked towards us while carrying his gym bag, it seems like he came prepared this time.
Both cody and Brian shook hands and gave a manly hug, I stood between them and looked at alvaro, cody whatever his name was and asked him about his ethnicity.
He said he was half Mexican and American, that was cool what's more surprising was he was Brian's cousin, a graduate who came to the hospital where Brian's mom was admitted.
"What are you doing here?" Brian asked as samra and I stood with them.
"Am here for interview and I got hired" cody said and then asked Brian and he told him that his mom was admitted here.
It was stating to get dark and was getting cold by the minute as the wind blowing so fast. I happen to forget my jacket in the hospital and also the fact I was suppose to watch yunus.
As I was about to leave we heard Martha's voice calling cody's name, we turned to see her wearing black sunglasses and a black hoodie as if she was spying on someone.
And what's more interesting was she quickly jumped on cody's arm and smiling which was weird for someone who already has a boyfriend.
"Cody what are you doing here?" She asked as she removed her sunglasses and put her arm around his arm staring at him.
I was so confused with her acting like she was the only one with him.
"Am going to get yunus and should also go back to the campus before the curfew starts" I said as I tried to walk away from the awkward silence.
"Already? Its barely night time how about we have dinner before you leave" cody said as he tried to get out from her grip.
Samra then elbowed Martha and that's when martha let his arm go and soon we heard yunus calling Brian's name as he ran towards us.
"Hey there buddy, how are you doing?are you hungry?" Brian asked as he carried him on his arm.
Yunus nodded and we all walked inside the hospital and went to the cafeteria, as three of us waited for the boys who went to order for us samra turned to Martha and looked at her coldly as she asked her question.
"What in the world do you think you were doing when you hugged a total stranger who by the way almost ran us over" she asked as she pointed at us.
"Its cody and a longtime friend whom I met last summer" she said as she crossed her arms.
"So what if he's your friend don't you have a boyfriend what if he finds out?" I asked her knowing that she might end up breaking up with him.
"Don't worry his mom caught me,as I snicked in his room and told me that she will report me to school if I don't break up with her son" she said as her eyes teared up.
"Are you ok, what happened to her?" Cody asked as he put the tray full of food on the table and sat next to her.
I didn't know whether to believe her or not though she sounded convincing with her sobbing story.
Samra pat her back and Martha turned to hug her. After few minutes she calmed down and we started eating food.
Once we were done, I looked at my watch and realized that I had an hour before the curfew starts.
"I better go before the curfew starts and thanks for the food I'll see you guys tomorrow" I waved at them as we stood at the lobby leaving them behind.
I called a cab and drove off to the campus,luckily I made it before the gates were closed.
I lazily walked to the dorm as I remembered the look of cody gave me, not going to lie with such a body feature anyone would have a crush on him.
Suddenly I mentally slapped myself when I realized that Martha was also with him back then could it be that she has eyes for him and made up a story about her break up about her current boyfriend.
My mind was everywhere that I didn't even realise that I was already standing in front of my dorm room.
I opened the door and walked in when I saw Maria walking out of the bathroom with a towel around her head.
"Hey you came back, I thought you were spending the night at the hospital how's your friend's mom doing?" She asked as she sat on her bed drying her hair with the towel.
"Unfortunately she's still in coma and there's nothing to be done, I hope she recovers soon" I said as I laid on my bed.
I released a sight as my body felt the softness of the bed.
"I have warmed spaghetti and it's on the stove feel free to eat if you get hungry" mariam said as she prepared to sleep and turned off the light on her bedside.
I sat up as I felt uncomfortable with the hijab and took it off and took my towel to get a shower, as I stood in the water.
I let the warm water ran down my body as I thought about everything including Martha's story.
"Did she really broke up with her boyfriend? Or was she lying to get sympathy from cody as she claimed that they were friends.
Something was going on and I was curious to find out about it, once i was done showering I brushed my hair and teeth then went to bed.
I took out my phone to text samra and asked her about Martha but stopped as i saw the time was almost midnight so I decided to do it in the morning.
I set an alarm for morning prayer and went to sleep.
Whatever martha was up to it surely going to be exposed and the question is what's her intention to towards cody?.....
