New beginnings

5. Queen bee

Arggghhhhh, Monday morning. I walked into class like the zombie that I am and took my seat fortunately for me Nii and Julie aren't in school. Hallelujah (mini victory dance in my head). I looked around for Ama but I guess she's not here yet. A little wired since she's an early bird. I let my head fall on the desk to catch up with the sleep that I was so rudely interrupted from.
Within s few seconds I had I drifted of into deep slumber. Then there was a tap and another and another until I got annoyed and woke up.

It was Rita "Hey Stella, do you want to sit by us"
"Erm I'm sorry but no, I want to sleep a little before assembly" I tried not to sound rude neglecting her offer.
"Okay"she said then walked away
I put my head back down to sleep but heard her say " I told you" to one of her other friends.
I paid no attention to it and decided to go back to sleep. My head barely touched the table when the annoying siren began to blare.

"Just five minutes of sleep I can't have. What the heck is Monday and where is Ama. Argh should have stayed at home, feign some illness or something" I muttered under my breathe

Assembly was a drag. Nothing interesting happed just the normal school anthem which I still haven't learn, a long boring prayer and information that was of no use to me.

Ama was still not in school and that's unlike her.In a distance I could see Eric walk pass a group of prefects. I was a bit shocked st first that they had let him go without punishment, this school was very strict on punctuality. Those prefects would punish you the moment you were a minute late and they just let him go. I paused for a minute to look at the prefects who let him go and scoffed.

They looked like they were ripping of his clothes with their eyes. I'd admit only to myself that Eric is good looking but he's at least a year younger than them. I rolled my eyes and continued my walk to class.

Half way through the first period Ama rushes I to the class out of breathe.

"Miss Opoku it's half past nine and you're now gracing us with your presence" the math teacher complained. I know she could have done more than complained but she appeared to class at least fifteen minutes late and would have been in trouble if fanyone decided to report him.

"I'm sorry Mrs lamprey,uh my-my car broke down about two traffic lights from here and I had to run all the way from there" she apologized

She looked at her for a minute and seemed satisfied with her excuse " I'll let it go because you're not a habitual late comer but I won't forgive you if it repeats it's self"

Liar

"I promise it won't repeat it's self" Ama replied

She turned around and walked to her seat. She looked different, her eyes were red which made me think she cried. I was probably over thinking things

I didn't get a chance to talk to Ama in between class because all the teachers had arrived a minute or two earlier and it posed me off.

I tapped my feet impatiently waiting for the siren that announced it was break.
5,4,3,2,1....the siren went off

Finally, I bounced to Ama.
"Hey!!", I leaned down on her table and let my head drop into my palm

"You shouldn't be in that position, you're giving the boys a very good view of your ass" she said matter of factly

I stood up abruptly "Eeww"
I turn around and Kwabena passes by and winks at me.

She rolled her eyes "don't look so surprised, anyways are you ready for our study date"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that. I'm starving"

"Oh hush, you can go a few hours without food, Miss foodie" she chuckled

I helped her pack her books that she needed and we began to head towards the library

We passed by a few seniors and as I attempted to greet them Ama pulled me away and I knew something was about to happen.

"Hey hey where do you think you're going?"one of them said. She stood there with her arms on her waist and a nasty glare on her face. Around her stood four other girls.

"What do you want Naa, I don't have time for your nonsense today. There's this thing called learning that we do around her and I'm going to do just that" Ama said with sass. This was a whole different side of the sweet bubbly Ama that I knew.

The other girls around her gasped except for one who just rolled her eyes. She was dark and very pretty. She looked about the same height as me probably an inch or two taller, slender with curves in the right places. She had the looks of a model. Any girl would be jealous of her because of that but not me id grown to love myself no matter what and so should every girl out there.

Another girl stepped out of the group,she had a scar on her left check probably from the northern region and bellowed "the two of you kneel down, who do you think you are to talk to your seniors like that."

Ama rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand and began to pull me away from them. I just followed behind her to stunned to even protest.

"Where was that attitude when you were running to school this morning" Ama tensed and stopped in her tracks. I turned around to see the pretty girl standing in front the group with a smirk on her face. The other girls laughed and walked away.

She didn't say anything until we arrived at the library. She began to set her belonging on the table, my curiosity was getting the best of me and before i could stop myself I asked the question on my mind "who were those girls?"

She muttered something under her breathe before answering my question. "Tsww those stupid bimbos,always trying to get on my nerves,arghhhh. For absolutely no reason they've picked on me since form one

"Enlighten me Miss Opoku" I say

"That girl Naa, she's like the 'leader' they follower her around like puppets,like they're in some cliche high school movie except for Sheryl the dark one that looks like some model bi. They're cousins and they think they run the school"She says with an eye roll

"Why haven't I met them before" I asked. I know I haven't been in this school long but I've actually never seen them before

She glared at me and continued "before you so rudely interrupted me I was going to say that they are science students they're on the last floor. They think they're smarter than all of us but I swear they're dumber than a rock. Sheryl and Naa are in someway related to the principal. People say she gives them they questions ahead of time so they can learn but no ones been able to prove it,"she finishes.

I look at her blankly trying to digest everything she just said.

After Ama calms down we begin our study session but don't get far before the siren goes off. We walk briskly to calls and the day goes buy in a flash.

Hiiii loves 🦋*gives a nervous laugh*,
I know I know its been really long since I updated. I've been procrastinating and I promise I'll try my best to stop.
