Why so fast thought? Wasn't only this morning they decided to tell us?

"The sooner it is the better." Amir's father spoke up. "And we can sign our papers faster that way." He continued.
My parents took a few glances at me, seeing sorry in their eyes.

It's not actually their fault. I chose to help them. I'll do whatever I can for my parents, even if that means not choosing a husband. I believe that true love begins after marriage.

"I have a request." I voiced out making all heads turn to me. "I don't want it to be public and I'm sure neither does Amir. And I don't want to have a weeding party, the nikah is enough."

Amirs eyes caught mine sending an unknown message. What is he trying to say?

Amir's father looked taken aback. Maybe he didn't expect that from a girl with dreams. I always wanted to have a blast on my weeding but I changed my mind the second I found out who my partner was.

Amir's father stared at me long enough to see throught me and I think he found his answer because he said. "Then it shall be like that."

Amir didn't even utter a word since I came here. Why is he so obedient all of sudden in front his father? There's something going on with him. Either he's afraid of him or respects him. There nothing in between that. Except if he did something he shouldn't have and he's receiving his punishment.

Me.

"Then we will do the nikah this Saturday."

In two days?! "Does it sound good?" My father asked. No one made a sound.

"We have a deal then." Amir's father nodded. "Oh and make sure to find a house. Amir, you and Layla can go and look around together tomorrow." He looked at his son and Amir obeyed.

"Are you really going to get married?" My little brother Ali hopped on my bed.

"Yes Ali now if you're not going to help, get out." I said picking my clothes and placed in the suitcase.

"Are you going to leave us?" He asked frowning.

"Nooo, I mean yeah. I may not be living with you guys but I'll visit as often as possible so that you won't even miss me." I explained as I crouched down in front of him.

"No it's okay I'm not going to miss you, I just want to take your room."
I gasped and slapped his leg playfully.

"How dare you? I'm going make sure you won't get my room." I huffed "I won't miss you either." I stuck out my tongue.

I continued my work and with the help of my little brother we were done in 2 hours packing all of my things because he really wanted my room because my room is the biggest room in our house.

Tomorrow after we find a place we will move our things there. I have to live with him too.

In two days my going to be someone's wife. I'm going to be bonded to someone.

To Amir.

I knocked on Ali's door and asked if he wanted food but he was so engrossed in his game to pay attention to me.

I went downstairs and made myself cereal before i took a seat in front of the tv.

The house is empty, well almost empty.

My parents went out to the company and Khaled still didn't came back since this morning.

I ate while watching Pretty Little Liars and didn't know when I fell asleep.
********
Beep beep beep

Ugh can someone shut this stupid alarm off.

I'm not a morning person, at all.

I lifted my head up from my pillow to check the time only to find out that if I don't move I'm going to be late.

Why is there even a prison called school here in this world?! It should be banned.

I sighed and went to the bathroom to do my morning needs. After I finished which only took my 10min I grabbed my backpack from the ground and skipped down on the stairs.

"Good morning." I greeted my family who were eating in the dining room. I kissed my mom and dad on their forehead, something I do everytime I go to sleep and wake up.

I couldn't sit down with them because my first period starts in 10min.

"Hey where are you going without breakfast?" Khaled stopped me before I even reach the door with an apple in my hand.

"I'm late buddy. I need to go, like... right now." I pointed at the clock on wall. "Bye, mom, dad and Ali." I shout and climbed in my car.

I reached my school and literary ran inside while taking out my books from my bag until I pumped into a hard chest which made me stumble back.

My books went flying but not like in the movies where the papers fly to every direction in a perfect order.

No, my big dictionary landed on one of my feet and a hard book straight on my head. It was catastrophic.

"Ouch." It hurt like hell.

"Are you okay?" A voice made me look up. It was Lucas, Amir's gang member.

"Y-yeah I'm fine." I picked up my books fast.

"Do you need help?" He offered but I declined. This guy is nicer than I thought, he usually don't talk much.

It's like he's mysterious.

"I'm Lucas." Is he really trying to make a conversation? I'm running late here!

"I know. Look I gotta go, I'm late for class." I hurried away before I could hear his answer.

I went inside the Laboratory for chemistry and sighed in relief when I didn't see a teacher.

I sat down on nearest chair. I suddenly felt a presence beside me. Lucas just sat beside me.

"I didn't know we had the same period." I said to him. We never had the same period before.

"I changed to this class. Needed the points." He looked at me.

Okay, so much I get it but why is he sitting beside me? There's a lot of empty chairs in here.

"Good morning class, I hope you're excited for the weekend." The teacher intrupted me before I could ask him.

Whistles and howling broke out the laboratory.

I'm not excited for this weekend. I'm going to leave my house and begin my life as a wife. Amir's wife.

It's not exciting at all.

"Okay now enough dreaming. I have a project for you to work on until Christmas. It's a group project with two people in it each and I'm going to choose the groups."

Everyone in glass groaned including me.

It's not like I have a friend in this class but the teachers put together the worst combinations.

"The Projects will be about human chemistry. I want you to write an essay based on the questions on the paper." The teacher continued while handing out papers. "I'll divide you now so you can begin right away."

And she began calling out names.

"John and Eric."

"Sophia and Jacob."

"Hanna and May."

I looked around wondering about who could be my partner before I heard my name followed by a name that will make my school life much harder.

"Layla and Lucas."
