4 ) Farah's Story

       It was about 8:55 pm, there was this kind of alley near my house, I hid in the corner afraid that my family would see me. I took out a cigarette out of my pencil case, because i was afraid my parents would search my room (what can i say strict parent create sneaky kids).

As i lighted my cigarette i  felt somebody watching me. But i wasnt scared so i acted as if i never even had that feeling. Then i heard somebody saying my name when i turned around i saw Abdulla, (one of my brothers friends.)

Abdulla: intay yanaitay o5och yadree shg3da itsaween.

Me: inta shako ? its my life , bas imsh w mathel chinna ma shiftney.

He tried to grab the cigarette  ,
but its my life i can do whatever i want. im not his best friends little sister anymore, he cant force me to do anything.

*  so he grabbed the cigarette and stepped on it. i was so pissed he cant make my choices, so i took out another cigarette and started smoking (3nad 7aga). *

7awal ya5mi6 il zigara min edee  we both held hands fj2a , he looked at me and i looked at him our eyes contacted for the first time
After moments of silence we both pulled back. so i put out the cigarette.

Me: hak kil ilzigair bas lat gol 7ag M7amad 3ani.

he was silent so i looked at him and walked away to go to my house.

Abdulla: Farah..

so i turned around

Abdulla: tara and ga3id asawee kil hatha l2ana ana ahtem feech ..

*so i flashed an awkward smile.*

1) Noura's Story

   It was 8:30 pm , I was heading to Surra (my home ) from el jam3iya , on my way i was blasting the radio to Eminem ''Not Afraid'' . I stopped at a red light and reached down to grab my Iphone . As i looked up , put my hands on the staring wheel . It was too late .. All i could see was the bright light coming towards me in slow motion . 



The only thing i could remember was that massive strong sound of the bang . But i felt numb , it didnt hurt at all . I cant explain that feeling . I felt as the world stopping for a minute . I felt ALIVE . 
Then everything went dark .


I opened my eyes , I was laying on the road . All i saw was the dark sky , and anxious faces staring down to me .

I blinked, gazing at them , i felt like i forgot to speak or i just lost my voice  ... 
I felt dizzy all the strange faces going in circles  , all the dozen of hands trying to pull me up at once ..




? : La La 7abeebty ! gasped a women with  a round face and professional glasses .

( I felt hurt i closed my eyes once again  ) 

2 hours later ..

I tried opening my eyes hoping it was a dream or something ..
That women i had seen was right in front of me with a huge smile saying el 7imdalah over over again  I looked around i was on a bed , I turned to the right and saw a group of girls staring at me .

( Im not crazy , why am i in the hospital ? who are they !!  i spoke in my inner head voice. 
why are they in tears .. ? i dont know them  ) 
 

The round faced women , was screaming Benty Benty  laish 9ar chathi ?!

Am i her child ?! i dont remember her ..

The doctor came in greeting everyone including me 

Doctor : salam 3laikom 
All : wa 3laikom salam
Doctor : 7imdalah 3la salmtha 
* everyone stared at me with sad faces* 
Doctor : el bint lazim tirta7 for one week . shnu esmha ?
A girl with green eyes stared to the 2 other girls and said Noura 

* Noura ?! my name is Noura ? what that cant be right can it .. why cant i remember anything ..Noura i kept thinking .*

Doctor : came close to my bed and smiled to me 
for some reason i smiled back .

I looked over to the girls once again I REMEMBER THEM  and my eyes started to get heavier ....
