The sun was shining brightly, and the air was burning hot, where could this be? Syria.
"Mom! Where's my backpack?" Mayex shouted from his room.
"In your closet son" his mother replied.
"Oh thanks!"
He quickly left the apartment and headed to school.
When he arrived, he went straight to his classroom.
"Good morning, everyone" said the teacher.
"Dear students, today we're going to-"
Suddenly, another teacher burst through the door.
"You all need to go outside immediately, to the schoolyard now!" He said loudly.
"Excuse me" the teacher replied. "Why should they? And please, knock next time!"
"Don't you know what's happening? We're having an alarm drill" he said
"Oh... I didn't know that"
She murmured. "Alright kids, let's go outside!"
All the students followed the instructions, while everyone was walking out, Mayex noticed something strange, a boy was biting his entire thumb, curious, mayex walked up to him.
"Hey you! What are you biting? Not your whole thumb right?" The boy looked up slowly "First my name is Mohammed, and second, yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing"
"Do you...have some kind of disability or something?" Mayex asked bluntly.
Mohammed frowned. "Why does everyone think that?, I'm sure other people do weird things too, I just do this when I'm thinking"
"Oh I see..." mayex muttered quietly to himself.
"He's definitely not normal"
A few minutes later, the alarm was over, and everyone went back to class.
"Well done, everyone!" The teacher said cheerfully.
"You all behaved wonderfully, so each of you will get a sticker in your homework notebook!"
She pulled out a pack of superheroes stickers.
"One for you, mohanned, one for you, Mohammed, one for you, yamir, one for you, hamza, and one for you, mayex, you are a lucky one! You get batman!"
After handing out the stickers, she started packing her things.
"Alright, dear students, that's it for today, and guess what?, no homework!"
The class cheered quietly, mayex began packing his things too, but then another student named hamza suddenly grabbed his homework notebook, mayex didn't react, he knew the boy would give it back, what would anyone even want with a homework notebook anyway?
A few seconds later, the student threw it back onto his desk, mayed sighed.
"He's so weird, why did he even take it?, whatever, who cares?"
Once he was ready, he headed home, on the way, it started to rain, so he ran faster.
"Welcome home, how was school?"
His mother said when he walked in.
"You...you're soaking wet!"
His father closed the door and looked at him. "Go change your clothes, mayex, or you'll catch a cold.
Mayex quickly changed and then grabbed his homework notebook, "Dad! Mom! Look! I got a batman sticker from my teacher!" He said excitedly.
"Oh really?" They replied "show us then"
He opened the notebook, but the sticker was gone, he flipped through every page, nothing
"I'm sure I stuck it on this page...page eight, I'm sure of it"
"It's ok if you lost it" his mother said gently, "she's right" his father added
"Of course I am right dear" his mother said.
But mayex was certain he hadn't lost it, he turned the page after page...still no sticker, and then...he remembered something.
"...it was him" mayex whispered
"Anyway go do you stuff and then sleep, if you are hungry just ask" his mother said gently
Next day at school after the lecture time was over he goes to hamza, he grabs his hands and goes out with him
"Give me my sticker!!!" Mayex said
"What sticker?...I'm just joking, nope" hamza replys
"And beside what you gonna do about it?" Hamza pushes him away and mayex falls on the ground.
"You are weak" hamza says
"I swear if I could make anything you love explode I would do it now!" Mayex says.
"Yeah that would be-" boom!!!, an explosion happens and an apartment far away falls down....mayex and hamza stare at it with blank face while both of their mouth are wide open, hamza slowly looks at mayex while mayex does the same...
"...wallahi not me" mayex says, hamza stares at the building and sees another explosion happen
"Wallahi not me" mayex says again
"....i...i will go home now while I am screaming ok?" He does exactly as he said.
Mayex looks around and sees everyone crying and running everywhere so....mayex starts running away to, with his full speed mode straight at home while yelling out
"WALLAHI NOT ME!!!".
