shaikha: mama tara ma sheba3t mn shopping! i want to go to selfridges today

mama: okay mama give me an hour wawadeech

i love my mother so much, im so thankful of her. we took a cab and spent about 3 hours, just shopping..after that we sat in godiva, i ordered the chocolate covered stawberries obviously and mama got her coffee. sheft ymken 4 people mn my school all in the same day, i think thats a record!

we went back to the hotel and jouri was over. i spent the whole day with hessa w jouri, bas chthe ga3deen suwalif and movies and what not. 9arat sa3a 8pm, and i called haya.

shaikha: do you want to invite anyone else?

haya: khangoul 7ag faisal w rab3a eyoun wyanna 3ashan mankoun brou7na?

shaikha: yeah good point, it can get really scary i heard

Haya's POV:

shaikha and i took a cab to picadilly alone and met up with faisal, me7sen and their other friend hamad. we stood infront of the haunted castle just staring at it for a while..

haya: tara chni khft..

shaikha: don't be a baby haya!

haya: i'm not a baby ugh fine lets just go in and get this over with!

we got our tickets and went in..it was literally pitch black, you couldnt see ANYTHING. i didnt even know who i was walking next to.

Shaikha's POV:

not gonna lie, this was kinda scary..there was this long hallway we had to walk through that had flickering lights. the atmosphere really felt like we were in an actual haunted house. little voices came our of the walls..

shaikha: haya?

haya: shno?

shaikha: lets walk together, okay? tara el7een the actors are gonna try to split us up. you guys, stay close enzain?

all of them agreed we stay close to eachother. we reached a door that had a sign that said "push and walk in", and so we did. all five of us find ourselves in this empty tiny red room. we're all standing there when it suddenly starts moving. oh, its an elevator.. it stops and the door opens, we all get out and start moving in one direction. there are these black vines that fall from the cieling causing us to loose our way with the people we came in with. WE ALL LOST EACH OTHER. i knew this would happen. i kept walking until i found this bruised up woman sitting on this chair,, she ordered me to come to her and i moved in slow paces. she told me to go through this door.

Haya's POV:

haya: shaikhaaa???

i was walking alone at this point. just pushing through these black vines.

haya: faisal??? me7sen?

me7sen: haya?

haya: wainek? wain kelmen?

me7sen: madre i lost them.

faj2a out of nowhere this reaaaally loud noise bursted..i think kan menshar ou wa7ed kan maska yay 9obna yarketh. 9EJ NEGAZT! i didnt know what to do at that point so i held onto me7sen's arm, he pulled me and we started running in another direction until we reached a door, pushed it and went through! we found hamad standing in the next alone..

hamad: 9ij khagait'ha,, ha wain el baje?
