Saira p.o.v.
A brighter day with a beautiful morning which the rising sun in the sky was smiling, glowing towards my face; making me felt alive.
I fluttered my eyes open with a smile gracing my face, feeling warmth of my bed.I felt so happy because I couldn't wait to start my day as a high school student.
I silently pray to Allah to help me.
I went downstairs, greeted my mom and took my breakfast quickly before I kissed her goodbye while she wished me good luck in my new school.
The school was called Burnaby high school.
I arrived at the bus stop and I saw some girls chatting with one another, I greeted them but they snubbed me.
I was kinda hurt but I kept quiet and waited for the bus to arrive.
When the bus arrived , I tried to get in but the girls behind me pushed me back which I almost fell but luckily I was caught by someone who was behind me .
The girls snickered at me but when they saw that I didn't fall, they looked at the person that saved me before huffing and rolled their eyes while hurried to the bus.
I whirled my head to thank the person who helped but it turned out to be a muslim girl like me. I tried to thank her but she smiled gently at me and told me to worry less.
We got into the bus and she offered me a seat beside her and I gladly sat with her.
She introduced herself to me that her name was "saleena"and I introduced myself to her also.
She also told me that her family relocated from the US to some blocks away. and she lost her dad in a plane crash 10 years ago.So Saleena ,her mom and brother thought to start a new life in a new place, it broke my heart knowing she lost her dad even though I didn't know her that welt felt like I have known her all my life.
Her remembering her dad made me feel like I missed my own too. despite being alive he never bothered to contact us...
