أحْلى جَزْمَة في العَالَم

يوم الخميس اللي فات رحت النادي اليوناني مع إتنين اصحابي. الراجِل اللي قاعِد بيِقْطَع التَّذاكر عالباب قال لي معلش ماينفعش تدخل بالصندل. لازم جزمة.

اتناقِشنا معاه لكن من غير نتيجة. فِضِل يقول ان دي قَوَاعِد أصحاب المكان وهو مالوش دعوة. أنا وأصحابي قعدنا ناخد وندِّي فالكلام شوية وفالآخِر قلت لأصْحابي خلاص ادخلوا من غيري. اصحابي مارضيُوش يدخلوا من غيري بس أنا صمِّمت.

الراجل بتاع التذاكر كان بيِتفرَّج علينا ولما لقانا هننفصل عن بعض صعبنا عليه وقال لي إني ممكن ألبس الكوتش بتاعه أدخل بيه بس بشَرط إني أخرج الساعة 12 علشان ده معاد مِرْوَاحُه. عَادةََ أنا مابحبِّش ألبس جَزمة حد وخصوصََا من غير شراب لكن في اللحظة دي حسيت إني سندريلّا وإني لابس أحسن جزمة في العالم.
