Change

The new school

"oh nana nana eh oh nana oh nana"I woke up as my favorite African song came on, i went and did my hygiene and things then i tried to look for something to wear i felt so nervous because i have seen what the kids in the mall had dress like and i wonder if they were going to like the way i dress. i look around at my big closet with bunch of African clothes that would make me standout and i pick this simple but colorful dress. i use the conditioner i brought at that hair store and my hair was AMAZING!!!  seriously my hair looked nice well i guess i got that to stand out and make some new friend. I hope they like my accent and can understand me. "Awusofia we are ready to go" i heard my father yelled downstairs.

" am coming father" i said and i rush and got dressed took my book bag and went to the kitchen to take my breakfast, after that i rush outside and got into the car. As we drove to this school i felt butterflies in my stomach. before we even drove to the school i saw the big sign that said river-dale high, it was a big school it look more fancier and better than the school i was in. My parents drop me in front, i already had my schedule that was email to me but i had to go to a meeting with my counselor.

when the meeting finishes my counselor walk me to class, my first class was AP calculus, yes i know but remember my father is and engineer. anyways as i entered the class everyone eyes were on me i felt so nervous but i just walk to the teacher and smile.

"quiet down class, we have a new student from Africa Cameroon and her name is Sophia aWo.. lo Awo" as my teacher said this i wonder why he said my name wrong so i just cough and said" its Awusophia Awollolo (Awou- sophia Awollolo)" the entire class laugh and i felt good because they must think i was funny. as went to sit down in the back of the class, okay i know i am suppose to be smart and be in front but te back of the class is were you learn the most, no literally you get to see everything that happens in class and the teacher pays more attention to you.

As i took out my book someone threw a paper at me and it landed on my desk i looked around and everyone were looking at me so i couldn't tell who threw the paper. so i just opened the paper and i was shocked by what it said.

"you are really pretty i want to fuck you like a gorilla."

i didn't know what fuck mean at that time but i knew gorilla i think the person call me a gorilla, as i was about to look around again the bell rang, i guess that was a sign to say class will be almost over as i waited for the teacher to dismiss the class everyone had already gotten and i was surprised because doing this at my old school who have gotten the whole class into big trouble.
