Yes and No

Monday, two weeks ago.

It had already been a week since Amira's embarrassement, and it was actually her first day of going back to school after what happened.

That day was also the day Karim came from an almost two weeks leave of absence due to going back to home country for family reasons. Making him one of the few people who missed the whole thing.

On that day, Amira went to school in a pretty different style than her usual.

When she wasn't Au Naturel, Amira made quite some effort to look nice while being very modest.

On that day, she wasn't neglecting her appearance per say, but she was definitely trying to bring less attention to herself.

Instead of her hijab, Amira decided to hide her hair under a cap and put her hood on the entire day. She wear a heavy jacket on top of multiple layers of clothes. And had a Spider Gwen shirt on she usually wore as a pajama but chose because it fully concieled the shape of her breast and she didn't want to take any risk with buttoned shirts.

Karim startled her on the hall that day complimentong that very shirt:

"Cool shirt!"

Amira turned around violently unintentionally glaring at him. She didn't feel good hearing someone say anything about her clothes after what happened and was understandbly on the edge.

Karim was a bit startled seeing her reaction:

- "eh s-sorry, I didn't mean to startle you"

- "euh ... no. Uh thanks I guess it's just an old thing I've had for a while"

- "Didn't take you for the superhero fan tbh"

- "Yeah well Spiderman isn't really the most niche thing y'know, and I like Spider Gwen" she slowly calmed down and awkwardly smiled at him

- "Yeah...God I guess that's pretty stupid of me to say that. Didn't mean to be that guy sorry"

- "Eh you know some people act weird if they see me even speak without an accent"

- "Yeah, I've had people telling me I don't look Muslim because I don't dress like a guy from Qatar, still I guess I don't have room to complain since we still have it pretty easy"

- "Yeah you see the look I get sometimes when people see me driving"

- "You have a car?"

- "My mom's but I use it pretty often. You drive?"

- "Nah, my brother tried to teach me once and I almost wrecked his car"

Amira laughs: "You'll get it eventually"

- "Sorry for scaring you again, I just thought your shirt looked cool"

- "Don't worry about it"

- "YEAH BE GLAD SHE'S EVEN WEARING ONE TODAY!"
