Maraj:

  I rushed into class, heading to my usual seat in the back row. All the other kids had come in, the class now filled with noise and chattering from every corner. I just sat where I was, quietly listening to music on my phone.

"Quiet!." The principal yelled as she walked into class. She hated the sound of all students and assumed school should always be as silent as a cemetery.

Everyone obeyed and shut their mouths up, looking in her direction. I just took my headphones off.

"So, since your old English teacher, Mr. Peters, was fired a few days ago for assaulting a student," I grimaced at the sound of the topic being brought to hearing again. The man was an absolute pig. "I've hired a new teacher to come teach you delinquents." She pointed her hands to the door with a smile as our new teacher walked in.

"Good morning everyone." She said with a very inticing bajan accent, giving us a wide smile. Her hair was curly and light brown, put in a bun. She had on a navy blue shirt, with a black pencil skirt that had a small slit by the side. Her wrist was dripped in an icy rolex with a clearly expensive pair of louboutin heels on her feet. She looked flawless.

"Yes, this is Ms. Fenty and she's your new English teacher. Go easy on her, I'm begging you." Principal Tara said literally begging us knowing how stubborn we were. A few students snickered while some just rolled their eyes. With that, she left the classroom.

"Once again good morning," Ms. Fenty greeted as everyone responded with a bright smile. "As you all know, I'm your new English teacher. And I want this class to be fun for each and everyone of you, okay. So, first things first, can we have an introduction?, I'd love to get to know you guys." She asked with a smile as we all nodded. She began pointing at us, starting from the first roll as everyone stood up and gave their names.

"Victoria Sawyer." One of the students I didn't talk to said as she sat down. Ms. Fenty simply nodded. "Cute." She smiled. Just right then, my phone chimed. I quickly checked it to see what caused the tone.

LOVE-GALORE🥺💌

Thembi😻: Yo, you guys still going out with me and Trevor tonight?.

Ariola😋: ofcourse.

Candice🍭: yup.

Titi🧸: yeah, me too.

Whitney🎀: yeah... lemme check with bae to be sure 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️.

I rolled my eyes on seeing the texts. A group of six and I was the only single one. Was I that unlovable?.

Nic-nac🍪: 🥲.

I had no idea why I was even on the group in the first place it was only for the not single ones but it was nice to know that they loved me enough to add me so i wouldn't feel excluded.

A shadow stood over me, causing me to look up and see Ms. Fenty looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

"You see I'd seize your cell phone and give you detention but it's my first day, plus, I don't even know your name, so what am supposed to tell the principal hmm?." She asked with a straight look, her accent getting even thicker with that hmm. I looked down nervously.

"Oh um.. I-I'm sorry." I said genuinely. This is the type of trouble these girls are always getting me into with their in-class texts.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you, I hate timidity." She spoke with dominance. Other teachers would cut your head if you dared to look in their eyes while you spoke, she wants me to. I did as told and looked up at her, getting lost in her eyes. She had Hazel eyes with more of the green tint, it led me to observe other features of her face, her perfect cupid-bow shaped lips, her perfectly shaped eyebrows and her cheekbones which were perfectly on point with the light makeup she had on. She was perfect in every way.

"What's your name?." She asked, I was still lost in her eyes, I barely even heard it.

"Oh um.. O-Onika. Onika Maraj."

"Onika." I closed my eyes as the way she pronounced my name rang a couple of times in my head.

"Beautiful."
