"hey!" greeted Dana.
"hi." replies Layal with a smile.
"bayeeb gahwa taboon shey?" asked Sarah
"yebeely wyach." replied Dana.
"ma7ad? Ok" Sarah walked off.
"hey! N6ray Layal" Dana got up ad went after Sarah.
"yel malee8a" said dana.
"ga3da at'3ashmar." replied Sarah
Sarah and Dana stood in line waiting to order.
Sarah and Dana ordered their coffee and they started arguing over who will pay.
"yah ma e9eer thintain la t7neen!" Sarah handed the money to the cashier and stood on the side with Dana waiting for their drinks.
Mishary was right behind them and ordered his drink.
"wayha ma2loof." Sarah whispered to Dana.
"laish ma2loof?" answered Dana.
"madry a7s shayfta mn gabl." answered Sarah.
"intey kl il awadm shfteehom mn gabl", said Dana.
"la walla 9ij!",Sarah's voice went a few notches higher without noticing.
Mishary glanced at her then back at his phone.
"kla mnch." Sarah said while judging Dana.
"Ana shako intey 9ara5tay!" replied Dana.
"Sarah and Dana your drinks!" the barista called out.
Sarah took her drink and Dana's.
"Sarah al flany?" asked someone.
Sarah turned and saw mishary
"ha? Ana madry...ee", Sarah tends to answer that way when she is nervous.
"Ana mishary al flany tithakarteeny?" asked mishary.
"ha? ....ee ee mishary! " Sarah smiled.
"shlonich? O shlon 3amy o 3amty inshalla bkhair." he asked.
"ee zaineen...inta shlonik?" she asked.
"il7mdla tawny adry inch ib jam3atna." he said
"ee tawa hel course 7awalt awragy mny." she replied.
"zain zain Allah ewafgch yalla Ana mashy." mishary smiled and walked off.
"mno Hatha?" asked Dana.
"Hatha 6ala3 okho Rayl ikhty Allah yr7amha...kna yahal Lama twafat mn 3gobha ma shfnahom." answered Sarah.
Sarah was only 6 when her eldest sister got married, her sister had a heart condition that caused her death two years later. It was hard but Sarah was still young at the time so memories of the death were somewhat of a blur to her. Mishary and Sarah used to hangout all the time when her sister and his brother were married they were like best friends at the time.
"ah Allah yr7amha inshalla." replied Dana.
"walla kbar o 9ar 7lo."
Said Sarah.
"kl il nas tshofeenhom 7lween 3a6eeny my coffee bes intey il thanya." Dana took her coffee and took a sip.
"A77 7ar!!" exclaimed Dana.
"a7san."replied Sarah with a grin.

Layal rolled herself outside the building then turned left and right but there was no sign of her driver.
She called him so he could bring over her ID since she forgot it at home.
Layal sighed and called him, "alo? Where are you?....shno? You gave it to who?....why?!.... Khala9 ok bye."
Layal hung up and turned to find Sager walk out of the building and he walked over to the wall and leaned against it.
"waina?" Layal asked.
"wain shno?" answered Sager.
"il ID maly il sayg gal ink 5athayta o gltla ink bta36eeny iya." Layal crossed he arms.
"madry nsayt..." Sager replied.
"3alabalk t'6a7k? 3a6ny il ID maly." she demanded.
"chna khalayta ib mokan bes nsayt wain." he teased.
Layal sighed and rolled her eyes, "Khala 3ndk zain! A6l3ly wa7d thany!".
Layal rolled herself back into the university, frustrated.
Sager chuckled and watched her go in.
Dana and Sarah just sat down at the table and saw Layal come over looking mad.
"shfeech?" asked Dana.
"il ID maly hel-" just as she was about to tell them what happened she saw her ID placed on the table with a note.
She picked up the note and read, 'asf nsayt'
'waaaaaaay! Mn 9ja Hatha?!' she thought , she couldn't help but have a smile creep up.
'sa5eef wai3.' she said to herself, then she crumpled the paper and threw it away.
