Fatima’s POV
I tried using Truecaller to find out who it was but the number was not recognized by Truecaller. Truecaller is actually an app that shows the identities of callers that have been registered with them.
I decided to tell Ya Sa’eed so that he could help me hack the person’s phone through his number. He did some things that I didn’t know and after some minutes he showed me the person’s picture.
It was Hamza. Hamza of the FHA. I had to rub my eyes several times and ask Ya Sa’eed to check it again before I believed my eyes. It was really Hamza.
Ya Sa’eed knew that I’d never gotten along with FHA. But he wasn’t as surprised as I was. When I was like, Hamza is not gonna know what hits him he said “Don’t think that you have a guy all figured out. You might think Hamza is just fooling around but he might not be. Boys are not as predictable as you girls think we are. We are just as complicated as you are. For example you, Halima and Kalthum think I’m just your elder brother but maybe there’s more to me than what meets the eye.”
Only God knows where all that came from but I couldn’t sit there and start thinking about it. I had other things to worry about, Like Hamza.
But before I dealt with Hamza, I needed to conquer the first thing that has got me all worked up, Amir.
I quickly checked if Kalt was online and she was, thankfully. I asked for Amir’s number and she gladly gave me which she surprisingly did with out questions asked.
I quickly sent him a hi and that I can’t pretend to be his girlfriend like he asked.
Now back to the matter at hand, Hamza. I had never in my life even in my wildest dreams think that one of the FHA, Hamza to be specific, could even think of me in another way apart from one the girls in their School.
Talk more of falling in love with me like Ya Sa’eed said. But what if it was just a stupid prank which I was quite sure it should be. I just thought maybe I should play along without him knowing I already know who he was.
Messages from different people and platforms were coming in but at that moment, I had better things to worry about so I didn’t even bother checking what they were
This was our chats with Hamza:
Me
So why are you callin me beautiful and why did you wanna come over.
Hamza
Woah, woah!! Calm down hun. One question at a time
Me
I asked only two questions so answer me
Hamza
Ohk sweetheart
Me
And please could you quit calling me hun or sweetheart
Hamza
Ohk sunshine
Me
Ughhh️️
Hamza
So the answer to your 1st question is dat you are beautiful so calling you beautiful is well, normal. Secondly, I wanna come over because I miss your breath taking face, I thought I said it before.
Me
So are you gonna tell me who you are or should I help myself to it.
Hamza
Suit yoursef, I know you won’t find out anything.
Me
Ohk……. HAMZA
Hamza
Already done our assignment now have we?? That was fast tho
Me
Yh, so you can drop dis act of yours.
Hamza
Wait, you think its an act?Fatimah wallahi {I swear by Allah}I loved u. I still do. I’ve loved you since the day you and Halima first came to our school. But having the reputation of being notorious ruined things for me. I thought that maybe I’ll one day man up and go up to you and tell you how I feel but I guess I was and still am too chicken to do dat. Fatimah I really love you. I know you don’t and will never believe me but this is the truth, I LOVE YOU.
Me
Ok Hamza I believe you. But the truth is that I’ve never liked u as a friend talkless of a lover or something. And I don’t think I’ll ever in my life be able to love you. Not in a gazillion years.
Hamza
Okbut pls just think about t it. Pretty pls️️
Me
As I said before, I don’t think I have to repeat myself.
Hamza
Just please give it one last though.
Me
Ok
Hamza
I’ll chat you up tomorrow
Me
K bye.
Now back to Amir. He had even replied and I didn’t even notice. A lot of messages had come in but I couldn’t risk having another surprise similar to what just happened come my way. I might just have an attack. I needed time to wrap my head around what had just happened.
I checked through the messages without reading them just to check if Kalt or Halli had sent me any messages but none. I thanked God for that.
I checked Amir’s reply and it said:”let’s talk tomorrow in school”. Well at least no more surprises for me. I’d had more than enough drama for a day. My phone battery was already drained so I just switched it off and plugged it in to charge.
