Chapter 13

I'm SOOOOO sorry for taking a long while to posting this chapter bs I've had so many things and work to do :( hope you guys enjoy the drama in this chapter, and this one exactly relates back to my entire blog title. "Never mix friendship with love." Enjoy :* x

Okay, so I've been back in Kuwait for over 3 days now and in those 3 days, I have gotten to catch up with all the school work I've missed with Maha's help of course… Things were way better now with my dad since all of a sudden he stopped being so busy w 9ar 3nda less business trips w more time to spend with me where we always have lunch together now, al7amdillah! As for Reem & Lulu, things were going okay I guess y3ny me and Reem were back to normal friends we always were but things with Lulu have just been weird lately. To be honest, I was avoiding her y3ny she'd ask me to go over to her house and I'd use an excuse that it’s a week day and I can't even though I can go out whenever I want to, I know 7arakati 7adha mub 3adla bs I was trying to avoid her because she didn't even tell me about her & S3oud till now! Ffhhh. As for 3aziz (my best friend), I saw him yesterday when he came to take Reem from school and he hasn't changed one bit, we're meant to hang out this weekend since he wants me to tell him all about g6r. And if you're all wondering about my beloved boyfriend 7amood, I still didn't see him layn el7yn t5ylo L I miss him so much bs we're meeting up this weekend inshallah, can't wait! Other than that, everything has been going back to normal, I have to admit, life without Mama did really change and I miss her so much it kills me, oh and one more thing, my cousins back in g6r after the day I left none of them talked or even tried contacting me wla 7ta Fahad bs all I care about is Mama back there, 6z fe ay 7ad thany.  

9aba7 youm el5amis 

I woke up and 3ala6ol packed my things 7ag today since we were going shalaih ana w elbnat, we needed to catch up and I know I needed to fix things with Lulu, I'm being such a hypocrite y3ny ana bnfsy I didn't tell her about M7mad till after a while and she accepted it w el7yn I'm acting like this? She'll tell me when she wants to, period.

I ran downstairs in my uniform w messy bun and found baba sitting there waiting at the table.

"9ba7 al5air fe bnayti el7lwa"

"9ba7 elnour babaa!"

And I kissed his forehead, I can't believe he waited for me to have breakfast together!

"Shnu elyoum na6rni 3shan nakil wiyah ba3a'9?"

"Ee glt ntryag ma3 ba3a9' since we didn't do that since forever."

"Baba last time we had breakfast together was over 5 years ago.  :)

"Oh.. x_x" mskeen glab wayha a7mar :(

We ate and had awkward chats for the rest of the morning then I excused myself so that I don't be late to school and I told baba that I won't be coming home this weekend since I'm spending it at the shalaih.

"Ee bs deray balich baba, w take Mary m3ach kl mkan trou7en!"

"Ee ee lat5af."

I kind of liked the feeling of someone being overprotective over you, specially when its someone you KNOW that they want whats for your best, just like baba. I'm not really used to anyone fl bait wondering where I go and looking over me x_x <3

The rest of the school day 5ila9 really fast since we finish early today 'half day' so more time to catch the shalaih gabl ma elshams goes down! Me, Maha & Reem were going together in one car since Lulu said she had to go home grab some things and then she'll come m3a her own driver, I didn't even bother arguing with her about that.

On the way to shalaih

Reem: "Bnat 5a6ry I tan I'm feeling so white!!"
Maha: "Yalaa we'll tan when we reach there? It would be 1 by then w elshams btkoun perfect! Ha shglty Nooro?"

"Ee okay ely yry7kom 7abaybi"

To be honest, all I could think about is Lulu, S3oud.

S3oud, Lulu.

Lulu, S3OUD.

Ya rby shfeeny?!

After a long car ride, we finally arrived to my shalaih and just as Mary has finished bringing everything down, I remembered ena I needed to get some redbull and snacks for the girls, the house barely even had any food and drinks other than water -.- So I told Reem & Maha to wait back at the shalaih while I went with Raju to the dikan.

As we were passing by a certain car parked on the side of a street that was a tinted black gxr bs you could see shway from the front glass, it caught my attention and the car seemed really familiar… We got closer by the seconds to the car and I could see I think two heads bs mu wayid wa9'i7 who it was and after a few more seconds…

OH MY GOD.

NO.

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!

IT WAS S3OUD AND LULU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told raju to park behind their car because I couldn't help but find out what they were doing together. I saw S3oud sitting in the drivers seat and Lulu in the passenger one, their heads were moving indicating talking, talking and more talking then mra wa7da, I saw Lulu open her door wanting to get out of the car and S3oud held her back in pulled her in for a hug then she rushed out crying, and that's when I stepped in and got out of my car.

"OMG LULU ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Noor?:/" Both Lulu AND S3oud said that as he was stepping out of his car -.-

"Noor what are you doing here? Enty ga3da tla7geeny?!"

S3oud asked furiously

"LA 6AB3AN. Well I was going this way w shft syara w I thought it looked familiar fa wgaft cause I wanted to see who it was wla 6la3 ento elthnain, WHATS GOING ON?"

I pretended jdam Lulu ena i didn't know anything about her and S3oud and she told me that she's been seeing him since I left to Qatar..

"Lulu why didn't you just tell me?! and why are you crying?:/"

"Noor, don't even try to act innocent right now, I KNOW that you know S3oud and i know how he feels towards you, bs ana mu m9dga ena lch 3ayn y3ny kam wlad tabeen fe 7ayatich?"

I was really confused so I pulled Lulu to a side a few steps away from S3oud and whispered

"Lulu what are you talking about? Ee i know S3oud and that's because..."

she interrupted me and said

"Ee that's because he helped you and Reem back then lma your rhino stopped and that's fine, w b3dayn he helped you guys with your jet ski and you guys DM each other w phone call b3d AREN'T I RIGHT?"

"Ee that's true, bs just as friends... Don't yell its not like I'm the one who's been dating him and not telling my best friend about him."

"Ee mthl ma gltly 3an M7mad from the same day 9a7? :)"

"Okay bs I eventually told you, 5la9 you're right I'm being so judgemental right now.. Enzayn I still don't understand why you're crying :/"

"We broke up, well he broke up with me.."

"WTH? LAYSH?:/"

Okay 9j ena I was always pissed off w 7ala bs that doesn't mean I wished for them to break up! She's my best friend w I just don't know what's happening right now..

"Wanna know why we broke up? Well, its starts with YOU & ends with YOU."

"What?:/"

"Yeah, well guess what? S3oud was only using me as an excuse to get over his little crush on you and he just broke it to me that he can't get over you w he wants MY help to get you to fall in love with him too. :)"

"WTF? Omg Lulu I am so sorry wallah, guys are like that they're always going to be guys:("

I felt SO bad omg, I came to pull her in for a hug bs she pushed me away..

"Noor, just stop it STOP PLEASE! LEAVE ME ALONE."

"Lulu you can't really be mad at me right now ana shd5lny?"

"Shd5lich really? Doesn't this remind you of everything that happened back in elementry school, when both me and you had that little crush on Hamad Al-flany?"

"Yeah w b3dayn he told you that he has a GF already, besides we were kids Lulu mu mn 9jich right now."

"La the truth was that he never had a GF but he asked me to set you up with him, you see Noor its always YOU, you're the one thats always going to be the one with a fit body, longer hair, shinier eyes, longer legs, better everything, you're like ms perfect to the guys, and for some reason it always turns out to be the guys I WANT. And you know what's funny is that you actually have a boyfriend that you love so much right now called M7mad, yeah remember him? W just like you love M7mad, I was also foolishly in love with S3oud, and YOU took that away from me, allah ysam7ich."

"Lulu it's not like I forced him to fall in love with me!"

"Yeah well but you didn't even try stopping him, bil3aks you grabbed his attention even more w m36ita wayh w riding their jet boat and midnight phone calls even though by that time you knew he was with me, so don't just blame him and remember that next time you try talking to me."

I was speechless and I broke into tears, Lulu turned her back to me and started walking away but I grabbed her arm and tried apologizing but she turned around and added some more hurtful words,

"Noor, ana e3tabartich k2nich e5t le, w I've never thought of trying to hurt you in any way but I know you, and I can see the way you look at S3oud so don't try denying it bs please I need a break from everything, everyone and specially YOU to think about things, you really did show me who are true and who are just as fake as everyone else these days, w you know you can't deny the way you feel towards S3oud."

I stood there and just stared at her without saying any other word which made her pull her arm away and walk far away from me, I can't believe what I just did... I turned around and found S3oud standing behind me and he pulled me in for a hug because of how much tears were spilling down my face. 9j ena he was the last person I should be hugging back right now but there wasn't anyone else around and I really needed one..

"Noor?"

"Hmm?"

He wiped the tears sliding down my face and pushed my chin up making my eyes meet his gorgeous ones..

"Ana asif"

It then hit me that he was the main reason of me and Lulu's fight right now so I pulled away from him

"S3oud ent elsbab me and my best friend just fought, y3ny why would you use her like that? 3shan t8hrni 3shan shnu fahimni ent shtabee!?"

"I want you.."

I didn't say another word and as I was about to walk away to go back to my car, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back in a way that hurt my hand shway.

I then got a flashback of abdulra7man back in g6r and the time he pulled me like that and tried to kiss me so I started yelling and S3oud immedietly let go of my arm.

"Noor noor I'm sorry! ASIF 3AWARTICH?"

But I just kept on even crying more and more, not because my arm hurt me or anything, but because to where I've gotten, I always hated people ely chee and I started realizing what a guy magnet I've became and suprisingly I hated the feeling.

"Noor wallah ana asif ma kan g9dee I hurt you" he looked down at my wrist which was a bit red and his face 9ar kl alalwan mra wa7da.

"Its fine, it doesn't hurt me, its just that I remembered shay b hal 7araka."

"Its the guy back from g6r 97?"

Yes, i did tell him everything in details back then..

"Ee."

"Noor walla asif don't ever think I'm like him okay?"

I smiled at him with the ":)" hay el smile ely everyone hates and got up.

"Does that mean ana w enty okay?"

"S3oud I need time to think, I can't just get over everything that happened in these 30 minutes just like that. Y3ny she's my best friend w I'm not letting a guy get between us. I have to go bye"

I got in the car and told Raju to go back to the shalaih, I was so angry w upset to even think about anything..

I then felt my phone vibrate, the red annoying light was flashing,

"M7mad Al-Flany: Waynich? :)."
"Reem Al-flany: YALLA lal7een fl dikan? rij3ay we wanna tan."

I didn't open any of the chats and checked the recent updates.

"Lulwa Al-Flany- 5 updates in the last 20 minutes!"
