Ruqayyah's POV
I wake up to the sunlight hitting my face early morning and I rub my eyes before realising that Aisha had left already.
Damn! She woke up early.
I reach for my phone and almost scream at the sight of the time.
I was the one who was late!
I am so dead!
I clearly remember turning this alarm on. Why the heck would I miss it? I was able to wake up for Fajr, why not for college?
I hear my phone ring and it was Bianca calling me. I press answer as I rush out of bed and grab whatever clothes I find in my wardrobe. They were mostly abayas anyways so I'm safe.
"Hello... Hello? Ruqayyah, can you hear me?" I hear Bianca whisper through the phone and I suppose she's in class.
"I'm gonna be late," I scream so she could hear me since I wasn't near my phone.
"Oh, well Nah!" she says sarcastically, "What happened? We have literature after this, make sure you are on time or else Mr Jim is gonna roast you alive."
"Roast me? I think that's an understatement. I am already dead and buried." I say as I jump on my jeans and then put my abaya on. I hear Bianca laugh on the other side and soon after that Mrs Fatima calls her attention. She makes up a random excuse and gets away with it.
"When do you think you'll be here? There's only thirty minutes left for our next lesson."
"I just need to quickly brush my teeth and I'm leaving," I say as I walk to the bathroom and immediately grab the toothbrush and the toothpaste.
Once I'm done, I grab my headscarf and put it on, followed by my shoes and then grab my bag and exit the dorm.
"I'm out, but now the elevator is not working..." I say as I tap the button, "arrgh" I groan before taking the stairs.
"Don't worry, I have got you a ride."
"What do you mean?"
"Just pop on the car and enjoy the view. You'll be here on time, I mean, if he doesn't decide to take another whole route, of course."
"Are you crazy? Do you think I'm getting inside a stranger's car..." I state but soon stop talking when I find Alex in his expensive-looking car waiting for me with his black sunglasses on.
Whoa! He really decided to match his beauty with the car's didn't he?
Wait, what!?
I slap my own cheeks in order to wake up back to reality. I need to stop daydreaming.
But, wait? Am I really getting in that car with Alex?
"So, are you gonna get in or do I have to open the door for you?" He says as he removes his sunglasses.
No, put it back on! - I subconsciously tell him.
"Um... sure." I look around before getting in. I just hope my stalker is not around here messaging my mum again.
Arrgh, I'm dying to find out who that is.
"Thinking about something?" I hear Alex say, taking me off my thoughts.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" I ask once I had my seatbelt on.
"Yep." He drives out of the lot and into the road towards college.
"Does Mrs Fatima know you left her lesson?"
"Nop, because I never went to it in the first place."
