Behind The Mask - Episode 1 The First Glimpse

Aliya was standing outside her new school.

She was a little nervous and thinking to herself:

"Will everything be okay?"

Suddenly, someone touched her shoulder.

It was her cousin Zara.

Zara said,

"Come on, let’s go inside. I know you’re nervous, but everything will be fine."

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpIVsMlSCh

Aliya gave a small smile.

She felt better now… because she wasn’t alone anymore.

Zara held her hand and took her inside.

At the gate of Class 7,

Aliya stopped and looked at the whole class.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazxyfNKwPD

The girls were sitting on the left side,

and the boys on the right.

Then suddenly…

Aliya’s eyes stopped on one boy.

She whispered to Zara:

"Is that Zayan?"

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4knNmg0tS

Zara replied:

"Yes, he’s your dad’s friend’s son. Do you remember him?"

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuxtxjIxhR

Aliya said,

"I saw him when we were little… but today, he feels different."

Zayan was sitting with his best friend Farhan, laughing.

Zara introduced Aliya to her own best friends:

Maya and Farah.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmMxJtyS5y

Farah was funny, childish, and always made the class laugh.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxkZrvckT

Maya was mature, serious, and sometimes got angry quickly.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCVtl7vsMj

Zara was sweet, but she only talked to her close friends.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wt5vHtg0k

Zayan was tall, smart, and the kind of boy who loved to enjoy life.

His best friend Farhan was funny — the class clown —

and he always argued with Farah over silly things.

Aliya sat with Zara, Maya, and Farah in class.

As usual, Farah and Farhan were fighting again.

Zayan was laughing at something,

and Aliya kept looking at him again and again.

She told herself:

"I’m a new student. I don’t have time for silly things right now."

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnaCSnWhAd

But then a thought came from her heart:

"But… when does the heart ever listen?"

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt0GYFioaw

That night, Aliya was sitting in her room,

still thinking about Zayan.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDJoXfZAA

She took out her diary… and started to write:

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcVrTLlfBe

Dear Diary,

Today I saw him… Zayan.

It felt like an old memory came back into my life.

I don’t know what it was about tha

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRKb1fd0o

t moment… but for a second, my world stopped.
