The next day, during lunch break, Amna cornered Zara in the school courtyard. "Zara, I need your help! I've been trying to tell Hamza how I feel, but everything keeps going wrong. Do you have any ideas?"

Zara listened attentively, nodding her head. "Well, Amna, maybe you're overthinking it. Sometimes the simplest approach is the best."

Zara smiled. "Just tell him! Be honest and direct. You don't need a grand gesture or a perfect moment. Just find a quiet spot and say, 'Hamza, I have feelings for you beyond friendship, and I wanted to be honest with you.'"

Amna's eyes widened. "That's it? Just say it like that?"

Zara shrugged. "Why not? It's sincere and straightforward. And who knows, he might feel the same way!"

Amna thought about Zara's words, feeling a sense of determination wash over her. She was going to take her friend's advice and finally confess her feelings to Hamza, no matter what.
