Lunch at Burger World
Salah sat alone in Burger World, he was reading a book. Beside him were a half eaten burger, fries and a cherry coke. His book bag and Domino High uniform coat sat piled against the wall in the booth. Occasionally Salah would look around the restaurant towards the front door. He flipped a page and with a sigh went back to reading. Soon he felt someone standing next to him. He looked up to find his classmate Malik.
Salah smiled and put his book in his bag. "Hi!" he said cheerfully.
Malik sat down, his expression unreadable, "Hello." he said dryly.
Salah blinked and moved his tray in front of Malik, "Would you like the rest?"
Malik pushed the tray away, "No."
Salah leaned forward "Are you alright?" he asked.
With a huff Malik replied, "Yes."
"Are you sure?" Salah shifted keeping his voice low.
"Yes I'm sure." Malik said rolling his eyes.
"Did you...?" Salah started cautiously.
"A little head.that's all!" Malik interrupted bluntly.
"Oh good." Salah sighed in relief. He looked at Malik for a moment, "Do you want some aspirin?" he hesitantly asked.
"No!" Malik said bluntly. He looked around the restaurant and back at Salah, "Don't be so helpful, ok!?" He said rudely.
Salah nodded falling silent, he looked at the table for a long time and looked up again, "You are upset." he said meekly.
Malik threw his hands to his head exasperated "Good Lord!!!" he shouted as his head hit the table.
Salah looked around quickly making sure no one saw. "Ok. Ok. Don't make a scene." He pleaded. "I thought you might want to talk."
Malik looked up his hands still over his head, "About what!" he hissed.
Salah shrugged, "About anything."
Malik sat up taking a deep breath. He was silent for a long time, "I'm going away." He finally replied.
Salah blinked and stared at Malik for a moment shocked, "What do you mean?" he asked loudly.
Malik rolled his eyes, "I'm going away.that's all." He said annoyed.
Salah slammed his hands on the table "Where back to Egypt!?"
Malik shook his head.
Salah closed his eyes and shook his head in disbelief, "Your going after the pharaoh again!" he shouted.
Malik looked around the restaurant making sure no one over heard that, "No." he said in a low voice.
Salah glared at Malik, "Then where.?"
"Not far don't get excited." he said in a low voice, "You're causing a scene."
Salah sat back and looked at Malik, "When are you leaving?"
Malik stood up and grabbed his bag, "Now!" he said leaving.
