The Situation

Her final project is due in six weeks, and it is her last attempt. Aisha Omar needs a classmate to check her work, and she would rather fail again than say the word help.

✦ ━━━━ ❖ ━━━━ ✦

Aisha

Sharp, dry, and proud. She hides how smart she is behind her failure. Harsh with her words, quietly generous with her actions, and she stays late just to be near someone.

Her Faith

Her faith is hers. She prays, she covers by choice, and she has limits she believes in. Wanting someone and holding her beliefs pull at her at the same time.
