"Excuse me ?"
I replied bitterly.
"You heard me. Aren't you a Muslim ?"
She asked.
"You bet I am."

"That's not very impressive ya know."

What's her problem ?

I glanced at Hayden in disgust.
I try to be nice for one time..
"Hello, you guys !"
I heard a familiar voice say. I glanced up to see Millie rushing through the location.

"Why is everyone so silent..?"
She asked after a moment of silence. Annie gave her a look, motioning to Katie.
"Sorry, who are you ?"

"I'm Katie, Hayden's girlfriend."

Katie sang out proudly, while Millie glanced at Hayden in confusion.
"Okay, whatever. Let's go for a walk !"
She spoke finally, pushing me and Annie out of the location.

...

As soon as we got back from the walk, I sat down, and sighed heavily.
"Adelle, we have a problem.."
Rajwan spoke, hurrying into the place.
I rolled my eyes.
Why is there always a problem when I want to relax ?!

I glanced at him as he gave me a brief hug.
"So..this just happened."
He opened the laptop he was holding when he first entered, and showed me an article.

ISIS leader murdered by US soldiers on the orders of Donald Trump.

"Huh ?"
I questioned in shock.
"..-he killed ISIS's leader ?"
I motioned for my brother to sit down. He obeyed, and sat next to me, eyeing me as if waiting of my reaction.

".. This is a problem."
I spoke finally, my hands reaching up to message my forehead.
"Why ? You're supporting a terrorist ?"
I heard Katie say. I frantically ignored her, turning to Rajwan.

"Someone has to talk to him about it."

And that was it.

...

I'm sorry if Katie upset you.
I read Hayden's text, my eyebrows furrowing.
"What is it, sis ?"
Allison asked loudly.

"Nothing. It's just Hayden apologizing for Katie's attitude."
I explained in annoyance. Sure enough, I wasn't annoyed at my sister for asking.
"Oh. Anyway, shall we continue ?"

I barely nodded at her, and continued to match clothes together.
"This one really fits with those leggings."
"Ooh, and those ones too !"

To be honest, I actually had a good time. I don't know why I don't spend much time with Allison. It was either her sassy personality, or it was my cruel kind of 'work'.

In fact, Allison was far from sassy when you really talk to her. I don't remember talking much and opening up to each other since our biological dad died. She was crushed. While me, on the other hand, I handled it quite well. I didn't cry my eyes out, or try to convince myself other than the fact that he was dead. I moved on pretty quickly, so did my mum. She met Emmanuel while going on a trip to Cairo, and they were married after 9 months of our dad's death. Quick, huh ? Mum didn't want to have an affair with someone without marrying him, much like what our religion teaches us.

And you know who really got Allison out of her small shell ? Rajwan, of course ! Thanks to me, that's for sure.

Anyway, I continued to have an amazing time with my little sister, not knowing that the following day would be so much worse.

To Be Continued..
