**AYAN**

I put my blazer on before loosening my tie and undoing my top button. My mum tells me I look like a homeless person but that’s how you know you look cool.

I put on the silver chain bracelet that Noor had given me when we were twelve for my birthday — very reluctantly might I add. I’m quite surprised she gave me anything at all.

After I’ve had breakfast and before I leave the house, I look in the full body mirror in the entrance hallway.

I adjust my hair.

I nod and leave the house with my Vans bag.

**NOOR**

I wear my hair up into a bun using a french pin. It’s too hot to be wearing it down.

I look at my blazer.

Too hot to wear a blazer as well.

I tuck my shirt into my pleated skirt. We’re supposed to wear pencil skirts but I’m telling you — I look AWFUL in those. So I stick to pleated skirts which are far more flattering in my opinion. The school doesn’t really care either. And the annoying strict teachers that do care enough to question me, I just tell them it’s more breathable and helps with my condition. They believe me, they’re too stupid to question it any more.

I wear my Indian gold necklace that has my name on.

I then wear my rings and put on my rose gold Pandora bracelet.

Dainty jewellery for school, heavy jewellery outside of school.

I put on my white knee high socks and then wear my doc martens.

I look in the full body mirror in my living room and adjust my hair, taking two strands out so I don’t look bald.

I nod and leave the house with my Micheal Kors bag.
