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.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJuvtUuCEH

Zara said,

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

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.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfos96n5bjx

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?"

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyW6nue784

Zara replied:

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6Qf5uBv9

Aliya said,

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95qszCzRXp

Zayan was sitting with his best friend Farhan, laughing.

Zara introduced Aliya to her own best friends:

Maya and Farah.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gKJlQ9vj

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbWqYBoe61

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiKKa3hDKd

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRGHROomm3

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.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EeO6Rzub

She told herself:

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJhoFp92TL

But then a thought came from her heart:

"But… when does the heart ever listen?"

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Wdwo1DCb

That night, Aliya was sitting in her room,

still thinking about Zayan.

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4o2QEa5Bo

She took out her diary… and started to write:

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf3bwjZFaQ

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

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJh1Q6gp5n

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