I was awoken by the sound of "Super Rich Kids" by Frank Ocean featuring Earl Sweatshirt. I let the song finish and tied my dreads into a top bun before I stepped into the shower. I washed my body, got out, put on some lotion and then got into my uniform.

My uniform consisted of white socks, a green and red checked mid-thigh length skirt, a short sleeved white shirt and a grey blazer with green and red trimming.

I tried my hair into two ponytails and made my way to the dining hall. It was full of boys and girls getting breakfast. I entered the line and opted for some toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice. I looked for an empty table and found one.

Ms Steele suddenly appeared in the centre of the dining hall. It the buzz of students talking immediately ceased.

"Good morning students" she spoke "We have a new student in our school, she'll also be tutoring performing and visual arts, so I expect you to treat her with utmost respect. Ms. Kingston, please, stand up and tell us a bit about yourself."

I swear I nearly had a heart attack. I quickly finished chewing my food and took a sip of my juice to help it go down. Everyone's eyes were on me.

"Hi- Good morning everyone, my name is Isis Kingston, I'm 17 years old and I write poetry sometimes." I said, not really knowing what to say.

Whispers started all around the hall, l just sat my ass back down and got back to my food. I wanted to make sure I ate enough, the first day would surely be something. This school is huge and I can't imagine how long it'll take to familiarise myself with everything.

I was interrupted when someone sat next to me. "Hi, I'm Jameela Bailey" the person spoke. A beautiful girl with light brown, kind of olive coloured skin, green eyes and curly black hair. I can't really put a finger her race. But she's just... beautiful.

"H-hi" I say stuttering because of how beautiful she was.
"I'm gonna be your school guide!" She said with the most beautiful smile "Aaaaandddd, we're roommates, so."

Time skip.

The whole day went really well. Jameela and I have every class except P.E together, which I'm very grateful for. We headed back to our dorm to find two girls l had never met before. One, a ginger haired girl with green eyes and freckles, and the other, a tiny brunette with brown eyes.

"Hey guys, this is Isis" Jameela said, pointing at me.
"Isis, this is Amy" she said motioning towards the ginger "and Sarah" she said motioning towards the other girl.

"Hey, guys!" I said a bit louder than intended. I'm kid of nervous. "Nice to meet you"

"Likewise" they both said with soft smiles.

I'm so glad everyone I met here has been nice to me. I was kind of afraid that I'd get bullied or whatever.

I slept on the top bunk on the left side of the room with Jameela on the bottom bunk and Amy and Sarah slept on the right side of the room with Amy on top and Sarah at the bottom.

We barely slept. We were trying to get to know each other. More like I was trying to get to know them and them me, since they all already knew each other.

I found out that all four of us have scholarships here for different things.

Amy is Irish and got her scholarship for her mathematical genius.

Sarah is from Lebanon, she's Jewish and is here because she's good at science.

Jameela is mixed Jamaican and Arabic, she's here because she can speak 8 different languages.

Wow. A room with so much talent.

I discovered that all four of us in this room have to teach whatever we're good at to other kids on different days.
This should be interesting.
I have my first class tomorrow, they're all in the same grade as me.
