The drinks, the adorable couples, my favourite songs of all time blasting through the loudspeakers, what else could I have wished for my first dance in high school. Lizzy and Junior were walking to my direction waving. Liv and James gave me a weird kind of stare but I just ignored them.“You look great.” June said to me out of the blue.“Don't talk to me ever again.” I said.“Look I am sorry for all what I did. I didn't have a choice. Please forgive me, I have left her alone. I thought Liv would change, but she didn't.” June said and she sounded sincere.“Whatever I forgive you.” I said rolling my eyes.“And me?” Henry said with a sad look on his face. I just walked away.“Awwwn you look cute baby girl.” Junior said holding hands with Lizzy.“So you guys have finally forgiven yourselves.” Lizzy said pointing at June. Lizzy looked beautiful in the black m

".... positive!" I let out a sigh of relief. "Mom! Your face scared us." I said as I giggled. If I found out that Junior wasn't my brother, the bond we had wasn't going to be the same. Well maybe for him not for me. I felt dumb because my mind is finally at peace and I was angry at Junior for absolutely no reason.Junior hugged mom tight and I joined in the cuddling too. "If only dad was here." Junior said painfully and started crying. "Don't cry Junior, I'm actually the one that's supposed to cry because I was far away from him for years. When I thought I could meet my complete family again, I find out that dad is dead." I knew how he felt. It was sad seeing him cry."Please my children don't cry. It is hard, all the finances. I miss my Ricky, but I am not crying." My mom said as she cleaned the tears from Junior and I face with her hands."Mom I'm miss him. What happened to him?"I asked." Your dad died in a car accident, a y

“Dude stop daydreaming!” I felt a hard poke on my shoulder which brought me back into the world.“Sorry Harley.” “Hey I thought you said you won't talk to me.” I said as soon as I noticed her.“Are you missing me already?” A familiar voice called out and I moved away from my locker to see her.“Lizzy!” She looked so fresh and more beautiful, probably because she had rested from all the school work.“I called you a million times every single day. I was starting to get worried that you found another boyfriend to stay in my place.” I said playfully and grinned.“Of course not. My phone was lost and it took time for me to buy another one in Canada.” I was so happy. I missed her sweet voice, everything about her. I decided to give her a gift. “Junior not here!” Harley lamented as Lizzy giggled. “What? He just gave me a brief kiss on the lips. Can't he do that?” Lizzy said still with that beautiful

“Good morning mom.” Junior said as he walked into the house with all his belongings.“Madam! Can I call you mom.” He said as loud as he could to my mom whose attention was on the newspaper she was reading.“Oh my God what is this. I know you too well Junior.” She said and let out a deep sigh.“So you are still the old mom I knew. The one that would watch bubble guppies with me because I said so. The mom that would play with me on the playground because I didn't have any friends.” It was weird because I didn't remember any of those. I felt left out when I heard Junior laughing hard. "Yeah. You still remember?" Mom said. "Of course, I didn't just recognize you." She said as she hit my arm playfully while I was squeezing the flowers in the porch.“Hey people of Abraham Block. Come and see this person. Junior that died long ago is back again.” Mr. Benson of all people called out. He looked very excited

Harley’s povMy life was officially over. It wasn't yet lunch break and I had already picked on five different times. It's not that they don't see videos like what that James posted everyday but people that knows my mom is holy. She is Godly. When the video went viral, my mom's reputation both in church and at work got tarnished.“Harley! Wait!” An annoying feminine voice cried out. I turned back to see the person, but it was the pest Liv.“Sorry about you know what happened to you. I know you don't like me but I will like for us to have an hangout. I'm not a bad person.” I didn't suspect her at all. I was even happy to have someone to talk to since June left the city. I didn't have a choice but to just give her a chance. June knew how my background was, maybe it was time for another friend.“Of course.” I replied.I got home quickly to be early enough to explain everything to mom. She agreed

Harley’s pov“Ahhh my head.” I screamed in pain.Suddenly I saw Junior coming in with a glass of water and a weird drug. I looked around the room I was in and figured out that it wasn't my room. I was terrified and confused at the same time.“Where am I? And whose clothes am I in? Ahhh!" Maybe asking the questions in one breath wasn't a good idea. Junior didn't even answer me.“Here take this glass of water. And here you go, pain killer. The pain is a little overboard because this is your first hangover.” He said that without looking at me. Before I could say anything, I heard a feminine voice call his name.“Junior! Please come here.”She cried out.“Coming!” He said in his British accent. He looked at me for the first time that day. His eyes were asking me if he could go. So I just nodded in agreeme

The sound of the slap echoed in my ears as I held my cheek with my palm. I couldn't feel anything, only pain and regret.Why did I ask for something that wasn't possible?Why did I go to climb a mountain that was way too high for me?These thoughts raced speedily in my head as I stood up, with my palm still on my cheek. Tears started to fall from my eyelids as I tried to maintain balance.I removed the veil of my barka, still with tears in my eyes."Did I tell you to stand up?!" My dad exclaimed, pushing me away making me fall down on the marble floor.That was when my veil removed completely and I could see everyone surrounded by me. My mom, dressed in a black barqa like me stood still sobbing and shivering in a terrifying way. She was also covering her face, but I could hear the sobbing and see her shivering.My two brothers, Ahmed and Abdul Malik, stood beside each other also facing me. Ahmed had a stra
