"Did you know if you put Saturn in water, it'll float?" Maaz says as we sit, resting our backs on a big wide leafless tree. It officially turned dark outside and millions of stars litter the sky above with no moon in sight. Aladdin left about forty minutes ago leaving us with some extra water bottles and our backpacks. I'm still a bit suspicious over how fast he randomly had to leave but the bigger thing on mind was just getting to the wedding and making Laith drive us back home.

I cock an eyebrow at Maaz who is patiently waiting for an answer and he says, "it's true, Saturn's density is lower than the density of water, it makes sense though. Saturn is an outer planet which means it's made up of gasses just like the other three outer planets, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune..." I tune his rambling out by inserting another ear plug into my ear under my hijab, where he can't see it. The ear plugs were for the times in need during the wedding, I've had too many experiences with screeching aunties and hyper children to not remember to pack them.

The view infront of me was so good I had decided to take a pencil out and try to draw it onto my sketch pad, which was now resting on my lap because with the rambling of Maaz's, I had only managed to draw half the sky, and that was only when he went to pray.

I watch him out of the corner of my eye, he's oblivious to the fact I'm not paying attention and his mouth continues moving up and down as he gestures around and up to the sky.

This is no new thing, Maaz has been in love with space since he was a kid, I remember back in sixth grade when our science teacher said we wouldn't be studying space that year, something about not having enough time, Maaz literally ran out the room screaming his life was over. It took two out of his three sisters to calm him down but he would still get prissy whenever somebody mentioned it.

Right now he's finally quieted down and is watching me draw, normally I don't like it when people stare at me while I work, but this is Maaz, he's been doing this ever since I moved in next door. He really has no life I'm telling ya.

"You big oaf, move over you're blocking my elbow space." I say trying to wiggle my elbow free so it can move easily with my hand across the pad.

"Say please." He says childishly but I childishly reply back, "never."

"Fine, then I'm not moving over." He says crossing his arms over his chest.

"I hate you Maaz."

"I hate you too Rania."

"I hope you eat a tub of gelatin by accident one day."

"I hope you fall in a tub of gelatin...not by accident. Don't worry I'll push you."

"I'm telling your mom."

"I'm telling your brother."

"Touché." I reply before continuing to shade on to the paper.

"Your pictures coming along great." Maaz says looking over at me.

"What do you want Maaz?" I reply knowing he doesn't give a compliment out for no reason, "pass me that apple," I roll my eyes and hand it to him before looking around us at the barren dusty road.

"What time did Aladdin say it might come again?" I ask Maaz as he chomps annoyingly on his apple, he shrugs before saying, "he didn't, he just said to keep a lookout."

"Holy shit!" Maaz suddenly exclaims jumping up from his sitting position a few minutes later, I look around to see what made him jump but when I don't spot anything I say, "what are you being a little girl for, sit back down."

He shakes his head rapidly, "I swear I just heard something move." I roll my eyes and go back to drawing, "it was probably the wind or something."

"Rania-- HOLY GUACAMOLE MOVE RIGHT NOW!" He yells and I quickly try to jump up but a a sharp pain erupts in my ankle and I gasp falling back down again. I look up in time to see some sort of snake slithering away.

"I told you, didn't I tell you?!" Maaz says before dropping down next to me, "did it bite you? Oh shit..." I feel his eyes look down at my ankle and I ask, "is it bad?!"

He nods before saying, "okay uhm don't touch it...just uh...hold on." He runs over to his back pack and starts looking through it, I wince as another strike of pain rushes though my whole foot, looking down at my ankle I groan as I see two pinch marks and blood oozing thought and own my ankle. The outside of it is starting to turn purple and I wince as I try to move it closer to my body without making TI touch the ground.

"Okay okay don't move, I got this." Maaz says running back a small towel and a water bottle. I groan as he says this and I shake my head, "no no let me do it." As I try reach I for the stuff, my foot begins to throb and I gasp reaching down and wrapping my hands above the wound.

"Okay okay you do it," I say closing my eyes in pain. Maaz looks at me sympathetically before saying, "do you trust me more than you hate me Rania?"

I don't say anything for a few seconds but then I nod, I cry out a bit, it feels like my whole foot is burning from the inside out. "And for the record Maaz..I don't hate you that much."

I feel my eyes begin to droop and a bag being placed under my head, "me neither Rainy, me neither," with that I feel water being poured over the the mark and I just don't have the energy to ask him if he knows what he's doing. I trust you Maaz.
