CHAPTER 2

Me and Carter sipped our coffee. We were at starbucks and I had called Sadie to join us as well. She appeared a second later, and Carter sat up straight. "Oh my Ra."

I , guessing, it was an eygtpian curse, smiled.

Sadie, along with extremely hot British guy friend , smiled and skipped towards us. Carter was starign at her with... well, a poker face. I almost burst out laughing. Maybe it was sudden urge to laugh or whatever, but I smiled and introduced myself to Billy without being shy. Yay! Score one for me! Billy just went, "Hey. Im guessing you are Zia. "

I smiled."And you're Billy!" To which he laughed. Don't know why. I was... creeped out after that. So what if he was british and hot? This guy laughed at random times,which was NOT normal. A little part of my oh-so-annoying brain went, "Werent you laughing when Carter had a poker face? Oh, you thought that WASN'T a random time?"

And suddenly he didn't seem so creepy.

Sadie and Carter, during my mental test on Billy, had made plans to go and compare stories at a private section of the café. Which left me and billy alone. And basically our conversation went like:

Me: So Billy, you're from Britain.

Billy: Yep

Me: Isnt it beautiful?

Billy: Very! The countryside near Scotland is full of 12th century castles...(rest of speech lost due to boredom) ... DO you know that he commited suicide by jumping inot his moat,which was full of crocodiles?

Me: How very *yawn* interesting. Im from Arabia.

Billy: Really?

Me: No.

Billy: ...

Me: My parents are from Arabia. I was born and raised here.

Billy: Coolie!

Me: Collie?

Billy(laughing) : No, coolie. As in, very cool.

Me (feeling foolish) : Oh. Sorry. I have dogs on the brain!

Billy (again laughing): So, do you sing?

Me(blushing) :NO..a bit..sometimes. BUT I WONT SING FOR YOU!

Billy(again laughing-what was with him?!): Oh..I like feisty.

Me (ready to throw him in a mixer and mis him to shreds) : Excuse me?

Billy(AGAIN laughing.) : well,-AAAHHH!

(Sadie and Carter rush over)

Sadie :Omg!1 Whats wrong?

Me: Nothing. The waiter accidently spilt coffee on him.

Carter(in my ear) : Or you tripped him...

Omg. Was he watching me? I didn't whether to be angry or flattered, when my heart took the matter in its hands.. In short, I blushed. I KNOW! FOR NO REASON!

I smiled like an idiot. Carter chuckled and said, "Well, Zia, Billy, let me introduce you to my little sis... well, not so little. Saddie!"

I jumped up and hugged them. Both of them,at the same time. Difficult, but im well known for my hugs.

Billy (he didn't laugh,thank goodness) said, "Congrats!" as Carter had announced he was her boyfriend or something, and went back to grilling the waiter about his Levis.

As I laughed at a joke Sadie just told us, I thought, "What a great time im having!"

Nobody's POV

As Zia laughed with her friends, she didnt notice a man tear his eyes away from their table and sit inside a black car. She didn't know her world was going to turn upside down in a matter of days.
