Chapter one


"I've always wondered if I had supernatural power or didn’t . Was it because "I'm just a kid and I have a wide imagination," as my grandma kept telling me, or was it mother earth sending me those feelings."
I read this sentence in my old diary over and over again, the diary where I used to write every single thing that happened to me , sever years earlier when I was just eight . I read this sentence over and over with fears and tears falling from my eyes. I can't stand being myself. I can't stand being Rawa, a fifteen year old brunette girl who has troubles with blinking . yes, I over-blink. There's something wrong with my eyes' nervous  system that makes me blink a lot , which took my self-confidence away. Whenever I get nervous , I blink even more and that made everyone in my school laugh at me .
I closed my diary, put it under the pile of clothes that lied on the floor and wiped the tears off my cheeks as soon as my mother knocked on my door. I screamed letting her in.
She let herself in , eyes gazed and fixed on the pile of clothes that I was sitting right next to and then to my bed. Shock .
"laish mo mnathfa ghorftch?ana shgaylatlch?,"Mama Mariam said
"I told you I'm not used on cleaning my room and I told you that I'm not going to tidy it up," I replied
"Ta7achay 3arabe i7na ga3deen bl Kuwait, mita ma radaina wales tikalimay English laiman tlou3 chabdch," She replied
"Inshallah yemma bas mara7 aratbha al7een mita ma 9arle khlg," I replied
"W mita inshallah be9eer lch khlg?," She replied
" Yemma shway shway 3alay mo ana sibab il bankruptcy ili 9ar lina , remember?" I said
Mama Mariam tried to hide her tears by getting herself out of my room . I felt how sad my mother was when I started talking about the bankruptcy . I'm now sure my mother still loves her ex-husband "My father" even though he betrayed us .
