Daifi Fatima Zahrae, Fes. The Secret Party I was walking alone in the streets and suddenly I saw people running and screaming as if there was a ghost or a typhoon coming from behind. At first, I started running blindly without recognizing the reason behind all this fear. I stopped for a while to see what was happening, but to my surprise, I found nothing. All I saw was people running and wearing masks to protect themselves from what I could only conclude as an invisible ghost. So I started running again and screaming as I gradually felt suffocated. Suddenly, I heard the voice of my mother calling me “Sara wake up�. I stared at her and then I hugged her because I could not realize what was happening because I thought that everything was real, but fortunately, it was just a dream. The next day, I was having lunch with my parents when we heard news on TV that were hard to believe. They said that there is a very dangerous virus spreading too fast among people called COVID-19 and that people should stay at home for an indefinite time in order to protect themselves. At first, I could not believe what I had heard because I could not imagine myself staying at home twenty-four hours at home, and worst of all, because of this virus I will not be able to attend my best friend’s party that was organized for the end of this week. Thus, I walked upstairs to my room, and I called my best friend Anna to tell her about this virus. Anna was very sad because she had already organized everything for her party to be the best party of the year. That is why we started thinking about a solution that could help us go outside secretly. So I suggested that we can call our friends and arrange a place where we can gather to make the party and have fun, some of our friends did not accept the idea, but others were very satisfied because we thought that this was just a rumor since the virus was found in China. The next day, I was sitting at the table with my parents and I pretended that I am tired, so I kissed them and I told them that I am going to watch a movie in my room, but in fact, I was going to prepare myself for the secret party. Thus, I wore my red dress, my black heels, and I put my makeup on, and I waited for my parents to go to their room so that I can go out safely. My boyfriend was waiting for me in the next street in his car, I kissed him and he drove the car until we reached the place of the party.
