in a community where having any type of friendship with the opposite gender was shameful and forbidden, you still managed to have a boyfriend without finding out, especially not the teachers or your parents, if they find out you're screwed

*you and Zaid have been dating for a good 5 months, he is in his last year of high-school he'll finish school and graduate after a few months while you are still in your first year of high school, the age gap was really big for a young relationship, it was risky, over all no matter your age or your excuse your parents will not except you if you had a boyfriend nor your teachers and classmates, so you HAVE to keep it a secret*

to everyone you were the losr nerd and he was the popular guy every single girl liked him but would not talk to him since it was considered something shameful to even glance at the opposite gender let alone talking to them

you always got bullied for being short and having a small delicate frame but you never told Zaid, you did NOT want to be a burden, today like usual you were getting bullied (a bit physically) by some classmates of your it was Sara and Emily, like usual, Zaid saw the interactions and his blood boiled but it would look really weird if a guy, especially a guy like him defended a girl like you

He still did help you, his expression was disgusted
