I can't believe I just agreed to this, I'm going to be in the same car with James wayne!!!!! I can't even handle being two meters away from him let alone few centimeters away!!! What am I gonna say to my mother? How can I explain it ?

" Uhhhhhhhh, Shahhhhhhd, you are Soo deeeeeaaad" I said in my head giving her a death glare.

" Okay, let's get the show on the road " he said winking.

I looked at his BMW car -You know how I knew it was a BMW?- because it was a red sportscar, any red sportscar to me is a BMW!!! Who needs to know more??!!

I went to sit in the back seat, but he suddenly said

" Wow, wow, princess, come and sit next to me in the front seat, the girls are gonna sit in the back seat "

What, how dare you control where I sit?!!! I wanted to say it out load but I didn't have the courage -more likely the rudness- to say it out load.

I froze in my place, I didn't want him to feel that he makes me nervous, that would feed his ego, and he had enough.

I nodded " Okay ", but not before giving Shahd a death glare, if she hadn't been acting like wonder woman I wouldn't have been in this awkward situation.

However, to be honest, I'm proud of my little sister, she did the right thing that any Muslim should do.

I got into the car and sat in the front seat. Shahd got into the back seat with Genvieve. I noticed that he helped his sister get into the car, she obviously couldn't do it herself, poor girl.

He got into the driver seat and drove off.

" So where do you live? " he asked.

I gave him the address but I omitted the number of my house, because I had a plan in my head. See, if my mother or grandmother saw me getting out of a stranger's car I would be dead meat, so they shouldn't see him, and he shouldn't know where I live exactly.

Suddenly, I started having the typical thoughts of an arab girl with a stranger in a car!!!

Can he be a mafia member? His family is rich, maybe that's why?!!! What if he kidnaps me and shahd?!! What if his family works in trafficking?!! What if he gives us something to drink and it contains drugs to make us sleep so he can carry out his evil plan?!! Maybe he wants to steal our organs?!! Ahhhhhhh!!! I was literally going mad inside my head!!

Then he suddenly opens some compartment in his car in front of him and he gets out a juice can. Ohhhhhh God!!! my fears just came true.

" Do you want a drink? " he asked offering the can in his hand " it doesn't contain alcohal, I know you people don't drink that ".

You people ?!!!!! You p..e..o..p..l..e!!!!! That was really racist!! But why did he know that we don't drink?!! Has he been planning all this???.

" Thanks, I'm not thirsty " I explained.

" Oh, then how about your little sister ?!!" he asked.

" Oh, no no no no, thank you " I explained.

" But I'm thirsty " Shahd said.

Shut up Shahd, I'm trying to save your freakin' life here!!!

" Oh, no no no, don't give this to her" I said to him.

" But why ???" He asked.

"Because..... because.... because....she has nocturnal enursis!!! " I said idiotically.

Wow, bravo Jannah I just came up with the nerdiest excuse ever.

" She has whaaaaat ?!!" He asked.

" She wets her bed at night if she drinks sweet juices " I explained.

" I don't have this!!! " shahd shouted.

Sometimes I wish my sister had a mute button, so that I could mute her voice in moments like this. Nobody asked for your opinion, shut up!!.

" Yeah, and she doesn't like to mention it " I whispered to James.

" Oh, oh, I'm sorry " James said in fake tone of concern " I hope she gets better "

I let out a sigh of relief.

Then he continued to say

" But if you think that this juice has any drugs in it, that's not how I get my girls!! " he said with a smirk, then he opened the can and began to drink.

Whaaaaaaattt?!!! So all these efforts to come up with a credible excuse were in vain!! He knew that I was making it up and he went along with it!!! Ahhhh, I'm such a horrible liar.

I heard shahd giggling in the back.

I gave her a death glare. I kept calming myself down by planning my punishment for her when we get home. She is gonna love it!!!!

When we arrived at the street where we live, I asked him to stop at a house that is a couple of houses away from ours.

" Okay, thank you, let's go Shahd " I said hurrying, opening the door.

" But we don't live here!! " Shahd ansewerd.

Girrrrrlll, do you really have to be this annoying??!!!

James looked at me in confusion, so I had to come up with another lie, may Allah forgives me.

" Yeah, that's because we moved this morning!! " I explained like an idiot.

" So you moved to another house on the same street!! I have never heard about this before " James said laughing.

Great, now I look like an idiot.

" So Shahd, you tell me where do you live exactly? " James asked her, pretending to ignore me.

Shahd pointed at our house. Great!!! now everybody at school will know where I live exactly.

When we reached our house, I awkwardly said " Thank you " then I looked at Shahd " Time to get out girl"

You won't believe what is coming for you Shahd?!!

Suddely James got out of the car and said.

" So you won't invite me and my sister inside?!! Where is your Arabian hospitality ? "

Really!!!!! Are you trying to get me killed today?!!

Then he continue,

" Is that the Islamic way of getting a tan?!! " He said pointing at our house.

What?!! What does he mean? I didn't understand untill I looked at the house. My grandmother was sitting on her chair in our small garden in the sun, getting her daily dose of vitamin D, it's good for your bones the doctors said.

" Get back in the car, get back in the car before she can see you " I shouted at him.

" Why? " James asked in surprise.

Suddenly I heard my grandma's voice, " Who is that handsome boy you're speaking to?? ".

" I'm so dead " I said to myself.

I looked at her and she wasn't putting her glasses on, she can't see well without them, so I decided to take advantage of it.

"What?!! where?!! " I pretended to be dumb. Everybody were surprised at my answer.

" Really!! " grandma said.

Then to my surprise she went to where he was standing, and held James by his ear.

" The one whose ear in my hand?!! " she said.

He was in total shock of my grandma's attitude. But what can I say?!! My grandma rocks!!!

I guess I should start saying my shahada now.

" That's ...that's .... The Uber driver " I said idiotically, shrugging.

" Ma'am, let me introduce myself, my name is James Wayne, and I go to the same school with Jannah " James said freeing his ear from her hand.

Did you really have to open your mouth now James? She could have believed you were an Uber driver.

" And why are you driving my granddaughter home? " She said in an investigative manner.

I decided to jump in

" He is my partner in crime!! I mean my partner in a project we are working on at school " great I think I just got myself in an even bigger trouble.

" Hmmmm, then let's put some food in this stomach of yours, James boy " she said smiling at him.

" I would be pleased to gain some pounds eating some Arabian food cooked by you ma'am " James said winking at me.

I couldn't believe that she had invited him inside!!! Please tell me that this is a nightmare!!!!!
