Jamila

Chapter 7

I woke up at midnight.I had a bad dream.I don't want to talk about it.It was horrible.Now I'm sitting up 

wishing my mom was here to hold my hands and say that everything would be okay.But It wasn't going to 

be.It wasn't ever gonna be.I realize that I'm still in uniform.My bags are here but I didn't even notice.Why 

was Diana even screaming at me anyway?.I stand and see her manipulative face hidden behind the 

covers.Her hair peeked from under the blankets.She reminds me of the devil.

                                         I have to stop wishing and face reality.I have a problem facing reality.I'm always lost 

in thought.I'm always wishing.I always think life is just a bad dream.Almost like the bad dream I just had.I 

could see a head peeking from the window.It looked...familiar.I opened the window and gasped.The same 

boy I had talked to was standing right in front me.Hands akimbo,standing in his PJ's and with this 

suspicious smile.I could only stare."Couldn't stop thinking about all night about you", he muttered.I don't 

believe what he said."You haven't said a word.But I know your name,Jamila".What?.How?.When?.Then he 

did the unthinkable,he held the window sill and jumped into my room in the 'girls' boarding house.I didn't 

know where this was getting to.All I could do was stare and watch.He came closer.This just feels so stupid.

"Don't think I'm doing anything bad.I just came to visit that's all", he said.I think he's lying and push him

 away.I motion for him to leave.He smiles and reaches my hand.I don't give it to him but he takes it 

anyway.My mouth is open but I don't say anything.I am speechless and scared.Why is he doing this?.Why

 am I even allowing him to do such?.I take my hand back before he does anything funny.He just chuckles 

and leaves.I am even more scared.
