He was eager to know more about her. She seemed very intriguing to him.
Yousef has asked Asma to recommend a replacement for her that she felt would adequately fill her position. There were many very qualified candidates, but Yousef knew that it was going to be Sara as soon as Asma mentioned her name.

A couple of months later….

His frustration is at its peak. Yousef has begun to dislike Mohammed. He couldn’t stand the person Mohammed has become. They were the closest of friends, having been on good terms from way back in middle school and all through high school, with their friendship getting even closer and stronger when they were in college. Even though Mohammed was a bit younger than Yousef, they seemed to have a lot in common. Yousef graduated high school and went to the states. His parents sent him to stay with Khaled. They thought it was safer and more economical to have both brothers together. Yousef never liked that decision.

The college years…

Yousef hated living in Chicago. Too damn cold and too damn crowded. But what he mostly hated is that he didn’t have many friends there. Most of his classmates went to different states. Sure he had his brother, which he was grateful for, but the two of them were as different from each other as any brothers could be.
Yousef had barely spent a year in the states and now he wanted to go back home, he has had enough. His parents feared that going back to Kuwait would depress him even more. They told him to give it one more try, this time he gets to pick where he wants to study. After some thought, Yousef boxed his stuff and shipped his belongings due south to the much warmer climates of Florida. "Welcome to Miami". Yousef immediately fell in love with the city.
Mohammed graduated high school a year after Yousef. He went to study in Seattle. He found it difficult settling in that city. Perhaps it was the constant rain. In reality he really missed his home. It didn’t take long till he fell into his own depression.
Spring break of that year he decided to visit Yousef in Miami, he though the sunny beaches would cheer him up. Mohammed didn’t initially share Yousef's attraction to the city, never the less it didn’t take him long to pack up his stuff and move, where he got an apartment three doors down from where Yousef lived.
The days and months passed quickly for Yousef, but not for Mohammed, who was still homesick.
Years have passed. Yousef and Mohammed became the best of buddies. They were so close that people hardly could believe that they were not brothers. They used to talk about the things they wanted to do, the places they would visit, which girls they liked. They had this comforting feeling towards one another that this was a friendship that they could rely on, that they will be a part of each others lives forever. Each one of them appreciated the role the other person played in his life. They thought that their friendship will never change. They thought they would never change. But the harsh truth they were about to face is that people always change…
