Fifteen: Taleen
“So, you two think I should talk to him soon?” Layan asks Lisa and me. Currently, the three of us are awake, watching a movie on Netflix while our backs are pressed against the wall that Lisa’s bed is glued to, but we’re not really paying attention to it. Lisa and I are preoccupied with convincing Layan to talk to Kyle.
“Yes!” Lisa and I exclaim, throwing our hands up in the air. She is so scared of talking to him and I don’t understand why. Layan has always been the one who is known for her spontanei

I watch the train as it starts moving away from the platform and once it completely departs, I walk away. I’m happy that I had the chance to spend more time with Layan but saying goodbye to her wasn’t easy. I’m never good at goodbyes. Each time I have to let go of someone I love even for a temporary time, my heart clenches and a lump constantly forms in my throat. I hate goodbyes. I hate the dull feeling and the ache they bring to my heart. I take the bus back to the dorms and when I walk into the room, I don’t find Lisa. Sighing, I take a small Tupperware box and two foil plates out of the small cabinet where we store our kitchen tools. I scoop some of the tabbouleh in the box and I put six samosas in one of the foil plates and in the other, I put man’oucheh. After covering all of them with plastic wrap, I check my appearance in the mirror.&nbs

This Wednesday is one hell of an exhausting day. After attending two lectures, I’d stillhave a shift at the restaurant. To add moretomy plate, my body is aching with unbearable pain. The doctor told me it’s all because of stress and he prescribed some medications for my nerves, but they’re not really doing a good job.I swallow the two pink pills with water then I put the small bottle back in my backpack, wishing they’d lessen the pain even for a little bit. One more lecture left.
Inevitably Captivated Nineteen: Josh
After Owen called and told me that Taleen didn’t mind me talking to her, I didn’t waste any minute. I got dressed to meet her; I want to appear decent in front of her. I also want her to know how sorry I am, I want her to know that I can get a grip on my anger issues. I want her to be sure that even if we fought again, I wouldn’t lash out at her like that; I learned from my mistake. Since Owen told me that she had a shift, I decide to use the time I have to buy her a gift; I’m not trying to buy her forgiveness because she doesn’t seem to be materialistic, but I just want to show her in every possible way that I truly appreciate her. I really don’t know what I should buy her. I want the gift to be meaningful, but I now realise that I don’t know her well enough to know what means a lot to her besides art. After roa
