Day 21: The truth might have slipped

I called Nora to check up on her.

I talked to her for a bit on the phone then she came over to my place.

We caught up on everything, She was opening up to me like none of the salfa happend. I feel like we got closer in just a few hours! it was so great.

After she left I slept 3ala 6ool. mkalamt 3ziz, I was too tired.

In the morning I woke up by Rawna8's annoying pings!

I stood there awkwardly playing with my hair, as that's what I did when I got nervous.

He looked at me constantly and I looked back at him, straight into his eyes! His eyes are deep and brown, so hazel. It was as if I can describe exactly who he was as a person by only looking at his eyes, they truly were the window to his soul.

I couldn't stop staring blankly at him, watching him speak. I thinking about him, whilst the whole world was on mute. It was only him and I.

R: HAYYWWWW 3ZIIZ ANA HNEEE! Shfeck etkhiz my friend? 3aib tara haaa.. esta7 yawalad!

She was smiling and didn't sound serious at all, but after all with every joke comes a hint of truth.

A: Makhzait

He looked down to his feet, while smiling.

I looked down too, smiling also.

R: Shg3ed e9eer yajima3a? Am I missing something here?

I quickly mummbled nervously and said

"Rawna8 tabeen bux? Mishtahya.."

R: WALLA EL3ATHEEM AKU SHEY! GOULOULI AL7EEN BA3A9IB TARA!

A: Shfeech mafe shey, you're making it awkward...

He whispered.

R: Eee I will make it awkawrd! What's going on, do you two know each other?
