Chapter 7

Huff!!! I kept on calling Ya3gobo over 20 times & at 5 pm he answered, FINALLY.

Me: ALOOOOOO Y3GOBO.
Ya3gob in a sleepy voice: Halla 7ayate.
Me: Ha :|, I was so shocked. I felt butterflies in my stomach. Weird.
Ya3gob: oh, e7m halla Reem shfech?
"Ana shfeny wla enta shfek:)" Me: umm la wla shy bs 3baly fek shy, laish kl hl msjat w missed calls 3sa ma shr?.
Ya3gob: aklmch b3dain bye. & he hung up.

Wtf? Is he serious? Why did he call me 7ayate? Did he think I was his girlfriend? OMGOMGOMG ashkra Ya3gob has a girlfriend, but why didn't he tell me? I told him about Hussain! Ok its true I told him after a while but at least I did tell him. Maybe he was going to tell me later but didn't get the chance? Who's the girl that he loves/likes? But he's my best friend he can't have a girlfriend, lol Reem what's wrong with you? Of course he can have a girlfriend. Who does he love more me or her? Duuh! He loves me more, or maybe he loves her more. But he's mine. No he isn't Reem,you guys aren't together why are you jealous he's like a brother to you. ARGHHHHH!!!!!!

All those thoughts came & went through my mind. I was pissed, jealous, sad, happy, I didn't know how I felt that time. I suddenly wasn't in the mood to go out with the girls & I called & conferenced them to tell them that my dad said no. Simple as that.

It was 7:30 & Ya3gob still didn't call me, I can't wait, I need to know what was the big deal, so I decided to call him.

Pick up already.........
The customer you are calling is not reachable.

Screw your customer is what I said :).

It's 8, he still didn't text nor call, so I called again.

"Please hold the customer you are calling is connected to another call."

OMG!! I can't believe he's ignoring me:).

Mish3al my 18 year old brother called me & told me to go to his room. I did what I was told. I knocked on the door.

Mish3al: come in
Me: heyyy!! Shfek ?
Mish3al: t3aly bklmch eb mwtho3.
"Shno? Mwtho3? Umbeh la ykon wa7d mn rb3a shafny ams m3 Hussain? La la I don't think so." 
Me: shoot.
Mish3al: Ana adry ena omy wayd shada 3lech because of the IGCSE exams.
Me: yea :( 
Mish3al: bas you know what Mishary did to them, yananhm.
Me: but I'm not Mishary.
Mish3al: I know 7bebty, but I want you to think about something, I graduated from an American school & u know how easy their system was, as for Mishary he's still doing his IG's for the 3rd year, why don't you transfer to my old school? At least your chances of getting a scholarship is higher. Tra it's only a year extra, chinch mswya the AS levels.
Me: adry bs tra ana gadha w gdod & I can pass the IG's plus ana mt3wda 3la my school & friends, I can't go to a school & leave my friends!!
Mish3al: I'm your older brother,trust me, La twgfen your future because of your so called friends.
Me: but they're not so called friends :) they're my real friends.
Mish3al: why are you so stubborn? La t3anden w trust me. Think about it. As you know I'm going to complete my studies abroad & tra ra7 asafr 25/9 so I'd appreciate it etha gltyly your answer before I travel.
Me: Enshalla.

My eyes started to tear, Mish3al was the closest to me, he understands me unlike Mishary he's always mad at me, for no reason. He was going to leave me here. Alone. Without him. Leaving Mishary in charge. 

Mish3al: BTW, I heard you talking to mom about buying a new phone, shno knty tbyn?
Me: blackberry :( al7en el kl shra ela ana, t5yl mom tgoly rkzy 3la drastch bla hal 5rabe6.

Me: mleeq ana bro7 bye.
Mish3al: ok bs gbl la tro7en ft7y the second drawer & bring me the charger please.
Me: hff ok.

I went & opened the drawer, I found a wrapped box that looked like a gift.
Me: ma lgeet elsh7n bs 7ag mno elhdya?
Mish3al: my gf, her birthday is tomorrow. Wanna see it?
Me: but it's beautifully wrapped.
Mish3al: so? They could wrap it again tra.
I laughed at him : ok let's see thoqk :p

He tore of the wrapping & it was a blackberry bold, the latest one, the one that I wanted:), I envied her.

Me: 3leha bl3afya
Mish3al: you know what? Coming to think of it, she doesn't deserve it.
 "She doesn't deserve you not the phone" is what I thought.
Me: hmm
Mish3al: how about you take it?
Me: mn 9jk? W Shno btshtrylha? Bacher her bd tra,
Mish3al: wya elwayh m9dga that I bought it for her? It's for you.

Me: YOU'RE AMAZING WALLA, I LOVE YOU, YA B5TY FEK.

I was so happy, he's amazing, everything I want he'd make sure I have it. Even if he had to buy it from his own pocket money.

Mish3al: bs shofy 3ad mu tfshelny jdam om elzeez, I told her ench btjablen drastch la telhen feh wayed. Well, at least mo jdamha.
Me: LOOL ok, thank you again.
I kissed his cheek & went to thank my dad & mom.

Mish3al "Mesho" my brother graduated a year ago & got accepted in California. With a scholarship of course. He took the year off to think about what he wants to do in life & is going to start university next month.

At 11 pm my phone lit up, it was Ya3gob. I got mad seeing his name.
