Picture of Thandi's mum...
Thandie POV

Waking up today seemed to be a challenge and I never was the person who had a problem with waking up but today was different, even the begging of the alarm seemed to do no convincing. I just wanted to hide in my bed and forget my new reality that awaited me the moment I get out of this bed. "Shit." I groaned pressing snooze which I have been doing for the last 30 minutes. I pulled the cover over my head with hopes that it would magically make me disappear from this part of the world and wake me up in my safe environment that I had known for as long as I've existed but that plan went out of the window when my mum barged in my room with so much determination to pull me out of my bed.

"Angel wake up,you are going to be late for your first day at school." Mum spoke yanking the blanket off me and the cold air suddenly hit my body and for a moment I shivered.

"Mum!" I whined trying to grab the blanket back but to no avail as she threw it on this beanie chair in here.

"Get up and go take a bath!" She looked serious and I knew there was no putting off school cause even my pouting face didn't work instead she walked out of my room but not before touching the watch in her hand letting me to hurry up and that just made me groan even more before I finally got up and dragged my feet to the bathroom. Can't the earth just swallow me already.

"Hey baby." That was my dad who I met up with on this hallway which leads to the bathroom. He looked pretty excited and for what? Only God knows.

"Hey dad." I mumbled before I continued my dreading journey to the bathroom.
I really did not want to be in this part of the country,I just wanted to go back home.

I took a 15 minutes shower before going back to my room and lotioning up and dressing up in my black tights and an over size sweater. I wanted to make sure that I didn't wear something that would bring me unwanted attention or any attention for that matter

"Angel you running late." Mum said barging in my room once again and once she saw I was almost done with getting ready she gave me a small smile. "Finish up baby and come down for breakfast." After that she left my room closing the door on her way out.

"I'm coming!" I semi yelled with this bored tone before putting on my socks and I sat down and slipped my white Air Force on. I stood up and tied my Afro in this neat bun before I
applied a lip gloss on my lips then once I felt I looked a little decent, I headed out of my bedroom and made my way to the dining room with my backpack.

"You look great baby." Dad said with yet another happy smile while checking out my outfit as I joined him and my lil bro Nathi for breakfast on the dining table. My mum had went all out on the breakfast.

Let me introduce myself,my name is
Thandeka Kayla Duma but call me Thandi,I'm 17 years old,I'll be doing my 11th grade at my new school which is Bronx high.

Me and my family recently moved to New york actually we've only been here a month and no I do not have friends as yet since I've been locked up in the house for the last month so that's why I was really nervous and scared to go to school. I know that I'm one of the awkward people so getting to know new people scared the hell out of me,

My mum is a nurse, she decided to apply for a job this side of the world and she got it that why we are here,my dad is a lawyer,he's not yet employed at the moment but still looking but deep down I prayed he didn't get it so Mum would see that this wasn't working so we could go back home.

I'm a first born and than there is my brother Nkosinathi who is 10 years old. He's a cutie but annoying as hell but I guess that what he came to this world for. To annoy the hell out of me.
