Saleena p.o.v
I was new girl in the state, I've moved from the US to Canada a few days ago. I didn't understand why my mother insisted we should move here. But we could move anywhere but not Canada. Not that I had issues with it but the fact I never wanted to move to anywhere but I never argued with them because I knew they were trying to help me move on after dad died.
My instinct did not sit well with the state. I didn't want to live here but there was nothing I could do. I would have to wait till I was through with my high school and getaway.
I woke up in the morning with a heavy heart I tried fake sick so that I would not go to school but my mom was not buying the act from me. So I had no choice but to leave. I stayed some few blocks away from my new school. My new environment was small and not extravagant.
I had to walk to the bus stop because my baby- my car didn't have enough gas. So I had no choice but to take the school bus.
As I was walking, I noticed a girl in hijab was nudged by some group of girls and wanted to kiss the ground but luckily for her, I caught her.
But she weighs a train, I thought.
She was about to thank me when the bus beeped that it was time to move. I entered the bus quickly at the backseat and offered her a seat beside me.
I was happy to find a hijabi like me and felt relaxed to talk to her. I told her about myself and how I lost my dad in a plane crash 10 years ago.
She send me her condolence but I brushed it off. She took the hint and stopped while apologizing frantically but I smiled and patted her hands.
By the time we arrived at school, we exchanged our contact number so that we could be able to talk and message more.
I was about to go to the secretary office when I saw her trailing behind me.
I was shocked, "why the heck she's following me " I muttered under my breath.
I moved at a fast pace while she tried to keep up with me, I saw the office and sighed in relief. As I entered, she also entered then closed the door behind her gently. When the secretary handed us our schedule then I felt like a fool not knowing we were new.
We both got our schedules it was different though, I looked at her and shrugged my shoulder before crushing her in a bear hug while she released a shocked gasp.
I was glad I had met another muslim girl like her. Who would had thought that I might like the new change in my life.....
But still I miss my old life ,I can't believe things has to change because I was depressed and found myself feeling sick about life all because I had lost my dad who was always been my bestie. I miss him.....
But let's hope for the best....
