The first time Eveel met Ahmed was at an outing for her Birthday sometime in early September of 2011. She didn't want to go out because her younger brother was visiting and she had to bring him to the airport early the next morning but one of her best friends Suzete yelled at her and said Birthdays are a big deal and that they needed to celebrate. When she put it like that how could Eveel have said no?! So they went to this cafe in Hartford and met up with a few friends of Suzete's from high school. Amongst one of those friends was Ahmed. Eveel is very shy, especially around cutie boys so she was somewhat quiet throughout the night. She had gotten up to go to the bathroom and when she got back she asked Suzete who her friend was because she thought he was really cute! Suzete proceeded to tell her his name and said that she had known him for a while and that he was in town for a few more days because he had to go back to Qatar for a year because he was going to school out there. Eveel was a bit bummed that this cutie boy was leaving town for a whole year but she didn't think much else about it and carried on with life. Fast forward to a year later and Ahmed had called another of their mutual friend, Cristina, to meet up because he was back in town for good. Cristina (one of Eveel's best friends and roomie at the time) asked her if she wanted to join her and see her friend, Ahmed, who was back in town after being in Qatar for 4 years. Eveel said sure and went with Cristina to meet up with Ahmed...and the rest is history <3
Summer 2011 I was home for another week, Nico, Ahmer and I went to meet up with Tina and Suzy to say my goodbyes and enjoy a summer night out. That was the first time I met Eveel. I left for the year to Qatar and came back home for good. That summer I finally got to talk to Eveel. We would meet up as a group and always end up spending the whole night out talking. We talked about everything for months. We had similar aspirations, dreams and values. We've been inseparable ever since.
