Sealed Fate

Three

She stirred continuously in her sleep, the nightmare is a lot to handle for her these days. It is becoming a regular thing for her and nobody knew about it even her roommates.

She woke up startled , sweats finding their way down her chin. She moved to the bathroom to perform ablution so that she could pray. She prayed to the Lord asking for his forgiveness, she started having the dreams when she was 13 and for four years now , she still do.

Having nightmares with her grandmother is something that always disturb her. She knew she didn't offend her. Or maybe it is because her grandmother is angry with her?

She looked at her side watch, the night is young as it was just 00:50 , she can still four and a half hour sleep before she wake up again .

She slumped on her knees, finding it so hard to go back to sleep. She picked Her Qur'an , she always find solace in reading the holy book and before she knew it , sleep finds it ways to her eyes.

The beeping sounds of the side watch woke her up, she groaned before saying her morning prayers and she moved from the praying mat to the bathroom.

She prayed subh before waking the rest up. Waiting for Manal to come out of the bathroom, she picked her phone and logged into her i********: account.

Hushpuppi was trending, she never liked to guy and to imagine he scammed 1.6 million or mor families, he is heartless.

She was so engrossed in her thought not knowing when Manal came out of the bathroom standing right behind her.

"Oh Hushpuppi, I still can't believe he's a scammer. The way he brags on social media, you will think he's a multi millionaire tycoon but it turns out the opposite" Manal blabbered, while she apply lotion to her brown skin body. 

"Some people are not what you see them as, who would expect he's involved in that kind of act" Switching off her data, she grabbed her towel as she made her way to the bathroom.

"Kim, I'll use your phone for a while" said Manal. 

"Alright, but don't switch on my data, I know what you did last time" Kim yelled from the door remembering what transpired between her and the Ammar guy.

"Oh you knew?" Kim decided to ignore her, knowing it's not proper to talk while in the bathroom. After spending almost fifteen minutes in the bathroom, she finally got dressed.

"What are we having for breakfast" Manal was now dressed in black mid length with a white flowers decorated around the chest area. She wore a black leggings underneath. Kim stared in thinking, for some reason she's craving for some crepes.

"Let's go for crepe, with a hot tea" thinking about it is making her mouth watery already. Manal passed her the her phone while she sprinted out. 

"There's a message on your phone" she ushered while closing the door behind her. Switching the phone, she find her data already on. Seriously, Manal is really something. 

Her eyes widen seeing a message from the Ammar guy 'Hey' it says. Kim repeated the word. Is he normally friendly to people like this. Sh decided to reply him with the same word he used. Plopping the phone inside her jeans pocket, she left the room closing the door. 

As she descend down to the cafeteria, she spotted Manal sitting on the far end. Letting out a sigh, Kim walked in a slow pace towards her.

"I've ordered the crepes already, let me go get it" she said the moment Kim sat on the chair facing her said. As said, she came back with a plate of freshly made crepe with a cup of hot tea.

"Ouch, so hot" Manal exclaimed placing the plates on the tables.

"Just the way I like it" Kim muttered digging in immediately. They started eating the food in silence until Manal decided to spoil the mood by asking her a question.

"The message earlier, is it from that i********: guy?" she asked, 

"Yes"

"What did he say?" she questioned again.

"He said hey" she explained.

"And what did you say?" Kim stopped on her tracks watching Manal folding her hands across the chest. 

"Are you interrogating me?" she raised her brows while chewing on her food quietly.

"I'm just curious" she muttered.

"Okay, I replied with a hey too" Manal stared at her friend wide eyed.

"That's all?" 

"Am I suppose to say more?" she said sarcastically.

"No, I just think the guy seems nice"

"Whatever, every guy seems nice to you" she rolled her eyes, continuing munching on her crepes.

"By the way, there was this guy I stumble upon on your feed. He's so cute" Manal cupped her face grinning. 

"Manal you're really unpredictable"She stated. "One day , you will ooze at a married man"She continued.

"Nah, it won't happen even in my nightmares'Manal said shaking her head. Kim doesn't understand why some people are against marrying a married man, she sees nothing in it. At least you have someone to look up to.

"Just be fast before we miss the assembly and get an earful from the principal. I am not ready for that today"Kim said plugging her air pods . "I thought you said 'She is nice and kind" Manal mimics . 

Kim hissed under her breath , she is not ready for a fight with her this morning and she doesn't want to be late . She played one of her favorite song: secret by burno boy ft jeremih & sereni.

Baby, can you keep a secret (shh) 

For a long, long time

When you're awake and sleeping (shh)

Say my name no time

I know you want to be my

Baby oh, but I got my wife

I know you want, you want to 

She hummed as she dance down the hall , not forgetting to cover her air pods. She happily waved at the female guards while Manal acted as if she is reading for a test.
