New beginnings

7. Instagram

Wednesday, the day I hated as much as Monday. It always reminds me that I'm half way through the week but not yet done to make matters worse we had P. E as first period.
I jumped of the last stairs and entered the classroom after changing into my sports wear. You'd think the washroom would be on the ground floor but no, the washroom was on the second floor because they didn't want the other students wasting time walking all the way down here and missing some part of their lessons.

I walked into the class and was greeted by Ama screaming "you! You slimy little girl. I can't believe you joined Instaogram". She jumped around sherking like a like a little girl who just got a pink bicycle for her birthday.

"Finally, and you followed me first, well technically you follow only me but that's besides the point. Have you seen your page? It's blowing up like crazy, very soon you'll have more followers that Sheryl."she said jumping around.

"What do you mean?,"I asked. I hadn't touch my phone since Monday. We walked towards the field and she kept on talking about my Instagram and how I should post pictures and blah blah blah...

"Quiet down class. I don't want to hear any chatting or complaints. Ten laps go!," she yelled.

I gulped thinking of how out of shape I was. We began to move in sync, slowly the fit people including Ama surprisingly began to lead and people like me behind. I picked up the pace and joined her.

"What a lovely surprise to see you here Stella dearest"she said faking surprise. I rolled my eyes.

"Psst!"I turned around to see Kwabena jogging beside us. He winked at me and I smiled and continued my jog.

"What do you want kwabena? I'm not in the mood for the drama you drag behind you," she said calmly.

"As much as I'd love to spend time with you my love, I'm not hear for you," he said with a smirk. Ama huffed and jogged of.

He turned to me "hey mama Sita, hows it going, do you like the school?"he asked

"I'm alright thank you for asking and I'm enjoying the school. I think I like it more than my previous school,"I said with small smile.

"That's amazing. Anyways, I was wondering when you'd accept my follow request on Instagram it's been two days,"he said

"Oh I'm sorry I haven't been online since then I'll check today" I replied sincerely

He was about to say something else when Eric appeared out of nowhere. My heart did a mini flip for absolutely reason. He looked at me and gave a small nod before turning to talk to Kwabena"yo chale hurry up make we finish." Kwabena smiles at me and Eric gave a small and the turned around and left
(Hey hurry up and let's finish)

After we were done with our laps we stretched a little then passed the football around a bit before the siren went off.

I walked into the class after changing to meet an annoyed English teacher sitting in front of the class.After the class had settled don he got up with a scowl on his face and began to talk "Now that you queens and kings are done I'd like to inform you about your project work for this mid term. I'm going to pair you into groups of two to work on it. I want the work ready next week Monday with no excuse."

The lesson went on and soon after the siren went off. I slang my lunch bag over my shoulder and walked towards the cafeteria. I walked over to where Ama was sitting with the other girls and sat by her.

"Hey everyone" I greeted and smiled
"Hi"
"Hey"
"Hello"
"So how are you enjoying the school....and the weather?," Zina asked.
I looked up from my food and responded " the school is fine. I'm really enjoying it and I'm happy you guying are comfortable having me around as for the weather I can't say I'm enjoying it much. It gets really unnameable at times especially when I'm out but I have no choice right."

We spoke for a while and I got to know that Zina was initially a visual arts students but switch after a few weeks. Maya was a Home Economics student doing clothing and textile because she wanted to follow her mother's footsteps and Rita was an aspiring news anchor just like me and Ama wanted to be a human rights lawyer.

Rita said very few words and when she did they sounded like indirect insults towards Ama. I wondered if any of them noticed but nobody said anything.

In a distance I saw Kwabena and Eric walk towards our direction I didn't think much of it until they stood directly in front us. Kwabena was the first to speak "Hey y'all, hey love!"

AMA's head snapped and she glared at him. He pretended not to notice and sat down, Eric doing the same. We made eye contact and I immediately looked away feeling embarrassed for being caught.

"So Ama my dearest, I was wondering if you could be my partner for the English project-

Something snapped and we all turned our head to see Rita holding a broken plastic spoon. She got up and walked away with a scowl on her face.

Dun dum dun... I smell drama.
