Nora and Battol have many challenges waiting for them in this absurd institution .
They have decided to keep moving forward and do their best, they won't give up that easily.
It is time to choose which courses to carry on with.
"Good morning." Said Nora as she entered the tennis hall.
Hani turned to her and said
"Hi."
Nora smiled politely and said
"Thank you so much for taking the time to help me train."
"No need to thank me." Said Hani in a low voice.
Hani was done warming up already he said to Nora to get ready for training, when she was ready they started their training.
"I only have an hour before my next class.
Let's start immediately." Said Hani.
Nora nodded her head and said
"Ok."
Hani suggested to have a quick match first.
"I need to see your skills and what I need to help you with." He said.
Nora agreed and said
"Alright, let's begin."
It was a very intense match, no one was watching yet both of them played with all they got.
Hani smirked and said
"Not bad at all."
Nora smiled confidently and said
"Thanks.
I was actually just warming up."
Hani rolled his eyes at her newbie confidence and said
"I see,In that case I better get serious."
Nora wanted to provoke him because she wanted him to show her his skills, she wanted to see the champion's real strength.
"Show me all you got, I wanna see the strength of the champion." She demanded.
Hani smirked and said
"You got it."
At first, they played toe to toe.
But then Nora failed to catch up and ended up losing.
Nora fell to her knees, she was exhausted and couldn't move anymore, she looked up at him and said
"As expected, I see how you won the tournament"
Hani's face turned dark as he said
"I won because I trained well.
You're not a beginner, I believe after training hard and working on your weaknesses you will manage to get a medal.
I will give you a few tips every time we train and I will supervise your training as much as I can."
"Thank you so much Mister Hani." Said Nora.
"I promise to do my best and I won't let your efforts go to waste."
"Don't worry about me, I choose to help you willingly." Said Hani.
"Just focus on winning that medal."
"We still have time, do you mind practicing with me a little more?"asked Nora.
"Sure, but this time I'm going to be giving you instructions." Said Hani.
Nora nodded and said
"As you wish."
While they were practicing, Manal was carefully watching them from the window.
"This is bad, at this rate she will be indebted to him and she will be forced to accept joining his group." Thought Manal.
"This is bad, at this rate we are going to lose our star!" She said in panic.
If I introduce myself now I might get nervous and mess up,
It's better to let Maha arrange our meeting. She thought.
"Hi girls, how are you today?"asked Maha.
Ahlam smiled at her and replied
"Hi, I'm doing well."
Manal smiled and said.
"Hi Maha, I'm fine what about you?"
Maha replied
"I'm feeling great, thank you for asking."
Manal
"I saw Nora training with Hani today."
Ahlam corrected her and said
"You mean you stalked Nora again today."
Maha smiled gently at Manal and said
"It can't be helped Ahlam, it's necessary for our group."
Manal carried on
"Anyway, Hani is actually a great couch."
Ahlam sighed and said
"Lucky of Nora, but too bad for us."
Maha nodded her head and said
"Yeah, it's such a conflict.
, I want her to learn from him and win so she could pass the course and join us next year.
but at the same time, I don't want her to be indebted to him."
Ahlam exclaimed
"Exactly."
Manal carried on.
"After he left I thought about introducing myself to her but I hesitated from doing so.
I thought it would be better to let you introduce us."
Ahlam said
"Good choice."
Maha looked hesitant, then she said
"I have not told them about you yet, they will come here to see me in a bit, I'll just introduce you as my close friends.
It would feel more natural to let them meet you as a total coincidence."
Ahlam nodded her head and said
"Basic, but it feels right."
Maha said.
"Battol is sometimes too honest with words but she's a kind girl.
Nora is very quiet and calm, but she's also friendly and considerate."
Ahlam saw them entering the cafeteria, she pointed at them and said
"There they come."
Nora greeted them and said
"Hello Maha."
Maha smiled and said
"Hi, how was your day?"
Battol looked as tired as usual, she sighed and said
"It was Exhausting"
Nora rolled her eyes and said
"As you can see, Battol is being a crybaby again!"
Battol argued with Nora and said
"It's not my fault, I wasn't raised to lead such a miserable life."
"Take it easy Battol, I'm sure you can handle it." Said Maha
Maha then turned her attention to her friends and said
"Allow me to introduce my friends to you.
Both of them are second-year students too This Is Manal, our sensitive cute friend. And this is Ahlam, you can depend on her, she's a real one"
Ahlam smiled and said
"Delighted to meet you."
Nora smiled back and said
"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet both of you too."
Battol smiled widely and saud
"Hi"
"Manal and Ahlam are students in the IT facility too." Said Maha
"Really?"asked Battol
"What are your majors?" Asked Nora
Manal answered
"Computer networks."
Ahlam said
"Cyber Security."
"Cool." Said Battol
Battol said
"Tell me how is the second year?"
"So far it's going well." Said Ahlam trying to avoid the question.
"We are hard-working students, with no time to complaining." Said Maha
"You should learn from them Battol." Commented Nora.
4 hours later Nora and Battol were back in their room studying, Nora suddenly said
"How odd!"
Battol stopped studying and asked
"What?"
Nora answered
"You're very quiet for a couple of hours"
You haven't cried, complained, or wined about how hard your life is and you quietly dropped the course of the sport without any drama."
Battol rolled her eyes and said
"Isn't that what you want, why are you the one complaining now?"
Nora answered
"I'm not complaining, it's just suspicious, I want to make sure you're ok."
Battol frowned at her and said
"Don't worry, I'm feeling great."
Battol said with a pout.
"Just leave me alone."
Nora turned away from her and said
"Ok."
"You decided to drop the first aid course right?" Asked Battol.
"Yeah, what about you?" Said Nora.
"I think I'll do the same, I just can't handle blood and I'm very sensitive, I'm not like my mom, I can't see myself in the medical field even as a volunteer doing first aid"
"Yeah, I believe it's better this way, to just stick with what we know"
The next day, Nora and Battol were attending the first aid course when Malak approached them.
Malak smiled widely and said
"Good morning girls."
Battol smiled back and said
"Morning."
Nora asked
"How was your shift at the hospital yesterday?"
Malak answered
"I was a bit nervous, to be honest, the whole experience was nerve-wracking.
But I managed to calm myself and try to pay attention and lend them a hand."
So you actually helped them treat people?asked Battol.
"I would love to say I did but the truth is all I did was pass the bandages and the tools to the doctor while he treated people.
He only allowed me to rub some ointment on a kid's skin who had a rash.
But it wasn't a bad experience, Rania my roommate is excited about this course, I think I'll tag along with her and choose this course and drop the sports course." Said Malak.
"Yeah, we talked to her the other day and she told us that it was her dream to study medicine."said Nora.
"Yeah, I feel sorry for those who couldn't reach their dreams, but I'm happy for her that she got this chance," said Malak.
