Part 17- Better Place

I arrived at school and parked the car before making my way inside the school. I made my way to my class that was already almost full.

I got in and immediately regretted it because I felt full embarrassment from everyone just staring at me.

Why are they all staring at me like this today? They usually never even look my way.

"Adalina!" Laila called for my name.

I saw her sitting on the fourth row and went to join her.

"Girl you looking fine as hell!" she complimented.

"Stop!" I said feeling embarrassed.

"You're literally so gorgeous MASHALLAH you got the whole class staring at you !" she said teasing.

Oh my Allah.

"And what's the suit for huh? Going on a date or something ?!" she teased again.

"Who goes on a date wearing a suit? It's for the interview" I reminded her chuckling.

"Oh right! You mentioned it before my bad!" she said.

Afterwards, the class started and everyone went silence.

Once it was over, Laila and and I got up from our seats making our way out of the class when I was stopped by a random guy.

"Hey, sorry to bother you guys I was just wondering if I could get your IG or Snap?" he randomly asks me.

Laila and I looked at each other. This is the first time someone asks me for that.

"Sorry dude, she's already taken" Laila said.

"Oh...damn that's sad okay then" he said before leaving.

I looked at her confused.

"It's the best way to get out of this situation" she said smiling.

"Oh really?" I asked.

"Yup and you see? I told you, you're looking too good today" she said.

Do I really look that good?

I remember when I was very insecure about my body. That time kind of sucked. And sometimes, I won't lie I feel weird to receive compliments about my looks or body.

"Thanks a lot" I thanked her.

We were making our way outside of the school when I suddenly felt an intensive pain in my stomach.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Laila asked me worried.

"I'm fine...ugh..I think it's that time again.." I said.

"Oh god, I hope it won't ruin your day..should I go and buy something to ease the pain?" She asked me.

"No it's all good, I'll bear it" I said.

"Are you sure? Last time you almost fainted during the class remember? And another time you fell asleep the whole class...you don't want to mess up your interview now right?" she reminded me.

"Don't worry Laila, this time I'll be fine I promise" I said.

"Alright, if you say so" she agreed.

After using the bathroom for a while, we finally made it out and then we got into the car.

I drove Laila home before getting back on the road to the company's location. Meanwhile I was on a video call with Ayla.

"Girl let me tell you about this one! My mom's planning my mariage! Do you hear me?! My freaking mariage! I can't believe I will ever have to see such a day- she keeps talking about it and mentioning the same guy who's apparently into me but I have no idea who he is.." and she kept going on.
