Chapter Two

It was another typical Sunday. I woke up; went downstairs, grabbed an orange juice box and a Kitkat bar, than waited in the car for the driver Tunga with Zain, Ziyad and Marilyou the maid.

As I approached my locker, I saw a folded white paper half way out of it. I pulled it out and it was another love note from Faisal that said : Meet me in the canteen after school, love Faisal <3

Let me describe Faisal
He is one of the popular guys, I used to have a huge crush on him ever since middle school but no one knew except my best friend at the time Deema. He's been sending me notes for about a year now, commenting on my beauty, telling me he loves me and he's been wanting to meet me for the past year. I never had time for all that since my mother passed away and my father was sent to jail...

He is muscular, tan, and just the perfect looking guy that any girl would dream of. The words he would write made me feel so special I could hardly believe that a guy like him would love a girl like me.

So the final bell rang. I decided to go to the canteen to meet Faisal for the first time. I find two of my ex friends Deema and Alia waiting there and a bunch of other people behind them. They laughed out loud and started making cruel comments. Turns out it was just one, big, mean, practical joke, and all those notes were written by them.

I cried out of embarrassment and a lot of the kids were taking pictures of me.
I ran to Khalty Rawya's black Escalade and told the driver to quickly go.

I have been sobbing the whole ride, when I am half way there i feel a vibration, it is a twitter mention. I was slightly shocked because I haven't received a mention in a long time. I clicked on the twitter icon and it is a mention from @DAl***** and a picture attachment of me earlier today crying. The tweet said: "@RayanaAl***** You're secret is out! Everyone knows your biggest crush @FaisalAl***** XOXO"

I ran out of the car straight to my bathroom. At that point I did not know what to do anymore, crying felt so old. I saw the raiser laying on the shelf over my bathtub. I took the raiser and cut myself right under the palm of my hand without a second thought. I cut my skin wide open as dark red blood started to flush out instantly, while crying and screaming out loud.

Khaly Sa3eed: RAYANA?!?!?!?!?

Chapter one : Introduction

Its 2:00 AM and I am once again awakened by the sound of my miserable mother screaming. As I go downstairs I witness something that can never be unseen. My father, holding a knife right over my mothers chest as she is laying down on the cold marble floor screaming: "ARJOUUUUK LAAAA22 KHALIDDDD ALLAAAH YKHALEEEK." 

-Two years later-

My name is Rayana, I am sixteen years old. I live with my mother's sister Khalty Rawya and her husband Khaly Sa3eed. They have eleven year old twins Zain and Ziyad. They are very hospitable and tolerant to my situation . They try to be helpful but nothing ever helps.

My friends? I don't have any. They all betrayed me.. I don't blame them, no young teenager would want to be around a depressed sixteen year old with a miserable life. I don't feel safe at school anymore, I have a couple of bullies, but i guess that's normal, everyone goes through bullying that's just part of life. 

This is my life, screaming in silence.
