MISSING DIARY

Asma needed to be identified, who exactly was she? Why is she always pretending on things that hurt her? Why is she covering her frowns and pains with fake smiles? These questions ran through Ella's mind all day. Even though she was in the class, she wasn't really paying attention to whatever it was that the teacher was saying.

She took a short glance at Asma and noticed she was lost in thoughts as well, just like her. But was exactly was on her mind?

After class, Ella bids her friends a very warm goodbye greeting.

"Goodbye Azara." Abdullah greets as he left the class.

Asma did the same too and now it was just Darifa and Ella in the class. Every other students had gone home.

It seemed like she was not the only one noticing Asma's strange and somehow deceitful attitude , Darifa noticed it too. Their eyes followed her as she went out and they locked eyes at some point. Ella wasn't going to be the one to start up the topic, not for any reason. Darifa saw that, and decided to start up the topic.

"It seems your friend does not like me." Darifa voiced out.

"Really?" Ella asks pretending not to be aware or notice anything. "I don't think so."

"Stop pretending, I know you are aware of it. I don't know why she is like that though."

"Darifa, if nobody wants to be friends with you, you have me."

Ella says and gives her a very heartfelt hug. For once, Darifa felt relieved and secured. They departed and each of them went to their various homes.

Vivian noticed Ella's mood, she was worried and confused about some things. "What's wrong with you my baby girl?" Vivian asks holding her and trying to observe her body well. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I am fine, I am just a little confused about somethings that happened in school today." Ella says has she removed her school bag and had her seat on one of the beautiful couch, Vivian did the same too. "You remember Asma right?"

"Yes I do." Vivian nods. "She came to the hospital to visit you that day, what about her? Did you guys fight?"

"No, she is acting strange. She told Abdullah that I said I didn't want to see anyone while I was at the hospital, she didn't even give him my phone number."

"Really? It's as if she is trying to prevent you from someone or something."

"Yes." Ella nods. "She frowned when she saw me and Abdullah together but immediately covers it with a smile."

"You have to be careful then, we are not sure if she is a devil or angel."

Ella sighs and thought for a while. Can't I just have friends that would be real and love me forever? She did well to keep her thought from Vivian and quickly asked. "I hope you had a very nice day?"

"Of course, I did. I already got a job." Vivian says with a smile. "I would be starting next month."

"Really? Wow! I am so happy." Ella exclaims with a smile and hugs her.

Later that night, before going to bed Ella picks up her pen and did the usual thing. Writes a summary of what happened that day with a date up on it. She was about to close the diary when Asma caught her mind again, she decided to write on her diary 'WHO IS ASMA?'

Dressed up for school, Ella looks at the mirror and smiles. "Oh beautiful Azara!!! What a beauty you are, you picked your beauty from the land, water, fire and wind." After praising herself well she ends with a smile, Carried her bag gently and was about to leave the room when her precious diary caught her attention.

"Take me with you."Someone says in a very low tone.

"Who said that just now?"

Ella asks, even though she knows she was just hallucinating. She wants to take the diary badly with her, 'nobody must see what is written it.'Ella thought but still followed her mind and took the diary with her to school.

The first person Ella saw was Asma as she entered the classroom. They greeted each other and everything seemed cool and fine, it was as if she was back to her normal self. 'Maybe she wasn't in a good mood for a while Ella thought.' But immediately Abdullah came in, the atmosphere changed and Asma just stopped talking and communicating, it got worse when Darifa came in too. It was as if Asma segregate herself from them or was avoiding them on purpose.

Everyone noticed it but they decided to pay no attention, it was already becoming a habit.

Immediately the classes started, Ella started feeling a strong pressure on her bladder, it was as if it was going to explode soon. She managed to hold the pee, and ran out immediately it was time for the recess period to go and ease herself.

Her friends laughed at her as she ran out except Asma, they noticed how uncomfortable she was. While Ella was away, her friends went out too, probably to get somethings.

Ella walks in the class room feeling very relieved, she noticed her friends were not in the classroom, so she decided to seat and wait for them, as she remembers she had a chocolate in her bag and she opens her bag to pick it, she noticed something strange. HER DIARY WAS MISSING.
