Ziyad: " Aha. "

Me: " Eeh. "

So here's what I decided to do, ra7 abde awakher 3an Ziyad shwey shwey. I have to! I know its so hard, bes I'll try. I love Wahab NOT Ziyad. Ra7 at3eref eb ashya2 3omre ma e3taraft'ha 7ag a7ed. Awel leman kena 9ghar I had a crush on Ziyad, kent a7eba 9ij. Kent kela a7lem feeh, 7atan gabel la anam ag3ed afaker feeh. Be3dain lema he left kent ag3ad abchy every single day, kent abe Ziyad. Bedait ansa Ziyad shway shway, be3dain Wahab came to my life and changed everything . Wala ana wayed a7eb Wahab, alah ya3lam shkether, bes still fe shay dakhle e7eb Ziyad! I'm not a player or something, bes ye3ni kent a7eba 7ail. Yemken fe ba3athkom maraw bele ana marait feeh, et3arfon elsh3our ele lama et7eboun a7ad 7AIL be3dain he leaves faj2a, ou 3ugib ma tensouna he simply comes back  ou et7ison ena elfeelings towards that person came back also? Well. Hal shay 9ar fene awal ma sheft Ziyad at the airport. Ou ana ba3ed a7es ena Ziyad likes me, ana t'3ayart 3an awel. When I was a kid I was chubby ou ma ashaweg kelish. Bes now I started taking care of myself. Ma kan e3amelny chethe, al7en mu3amalta 7age ta'3ayerat. Adre ena friends yehtamon 7ag ba3ath, bes Ziyad yehtam fene eb zouda. Ok awel kena wayed close weya ba3ath bes ye3ni ma kan yakheth raye eb ashya2, ohwa ra7 yeshtre sayara 3ala tho8i ana ou elmeshkela ohwa may7eb elsayara, bes sharaha 3ashany . Walah el3athem I LOVE WAHAB, and thats why ra7 abde awakher 3an Ziyad. Mabi a3alga ma3ay, ou mabe a7eba. Al7en I don't have any feelings for him, bes akhaf e9er shay ekhalene a7eba mara thanya. Mabe athlem Wahab, ana a7eba ou uhwa i7ebny!

T3arfon this phrase?

What goes around COMES back around.

Ye3ni lemma 7abait Wahab, Ziyad fell for me. Wala jed eldenya dawara!
