Guys and girls are talkative in high school. They were talking about Ahmed and Maryia. Two guys and Pedro (Ahmed''s close friend) were walking beside each other in the school campus.
Guy 1:
"Maryia is playing with Ahmed''s feelings."
Guy 2:
"No, man! he loves her"
Guy 1:
"but her father is not as famous as Ahmed''s father. Ahmed''s father has the biggest trading company in San Francisco and it has many other branches across California. She is lower than him in the social status."
Guy 2:
"Pedro, did you hear this ''social status''? Haha! He is an idiot!"
As guy 2 keeps laughing at the formal words his sassy mate said, Pedro looks serious and replies:
"Of course he is stupid; because he thinks there is something between them."
Guy 2:
"so you believe he isn''t attracted to her?"If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Pedro:
"it is her who is attracted to him, not him attracted to her. It''s the opposite"
Guy 2:
"but the looks and the eye contact they exchange.."
Pedro says in a confident voice:
"Oh boy..just simple tricks from her to make him give her attention."
A group of girls were staring at Ahmed and Maryia in the campus during the break. They exchange the gossips as they are standing:
Girl 1:
"Look at him. He guarantees her love, so he acts like he doesn''t care."
Girl 2 adjusts her hair in a silly way:
"No. He is supposed to love a girl like me."
Girl 3 waves at Girl 2 to stop her talk:
"Uh, stop it! Just look! Don''t they look like each other?"
Girl 1, 2, and 3 exchange looks at Ahmed and Maryia who are a few ten-meters from each other and them.
Girl 1:
"Mm. not much. I mean. Why there would be a similarity?"
Girl 2 replies to Girl 1:
"They are Egyptians"
Girl 1:
"So what is this, you think? Silent love?"
The girls laugh and walk away.
Ahmed heard the girls in a coincidence as he was walking in their directions. He was noticing the rumors and their talk as well as Maryia. When he hears this, he smiles and shakes his shoulders showing his questionable attitude why they do that.
Suddenly, Ahmed''s friends, Leo, Pedro, Akira, and Omar find Ahmed jumping on Leo in a playful way saying "Hi!".
Leo:
"Ouch! you hurt my shoulder!"
Leo pats his shoulder as Ahmed does the same.
Ahmed:
"Sorry, Leo."
He salutes the rest of the group. While Leo looks at Ahmed then to the group members in a sly way, he talks to Ahmed saying: "So, boss? Where will we go today?".
Ahmed spreads his looks to the group members:
"What do you think guys? Pizza?"
The group shouts in agreement: "Pizza!", then they run behind each other.
Maryia noticed all this situation with interest, always cautious that someone may see her focusing on him.
