SS2 art was a totally different ball game, more impromptu test, more assignment and most importantly no breathing space. In the span of 2weeks we've had to work our Ass off to meet up with the 3 assignment they have given us in each subject. multiply that with the 10 subjects we are doing that 30 assignment. It a good thing they gave us a month to finish and turn it over if not it might as well be a suicidal mission.

"Ughhhhh!! Goodness this people just want to kill us with assignment."

One of the guys from the back benchers complained. And before I got the chance to open my mouth to speak someone, Samara, aka my worst night mares said.

" abi oo nah book we come read, we no kee person."

I giggled at that because her pidgins sounded funny to me. She snapped her necks swiftly to look at me since I was seated behind her. She glared at me like I was the reason why they were giving us too many assignment. When she wouldn't face her front I just shrugged at her and she hissed at me before looking forward. Phew i heaved a sigh, thank Goodness she didn't make too much of a big deal out of it.

It was another beautiful day in Oceanviews Academy. And right now we were all doing one outstanding assignment or the other while we awaited the Mathematics teacher,  my worst subject. I am still surprised as to how I managed a B- in the subject.

I was busy Listening to Purple hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as literature student we were told to read the first two chapters and summarize it in our own words. I was able to get another Recorder specially for that book, and Gage was kind enough to help out reading the whole book and recording  the whole book into the recorder.

That happened 4 days after we went to the beach. I still can't believe he and I skipped school and went to the beach. It was the best day of my life considering I  have never been to a beach before and I was only opportuned  to see it on Tv and hear about it from people around me. I had no idea I was smiling until someone or rather Samantha caught me smiling.

"Shioor! see her smiling like Hyena. If It is mathematical equations she is solving its cry she will be crying."

I sigh but I ignored her none the less. I wasn't ready to exchange words with her, Not this Morning. It was way to early for that. instead I just increased the volume of the recorder to over shadow her voice. What I did must have ticked her off and so walked away, only for her to return some minutes later with a scissors.

Before I could understand what she was intending to do she used the scissors to cut of the wire of the earpiece. I was surprised, but mostly hurt. I was hoping we would move past this, I was hoping that now that we were all in SS2 they would leave me alone and treat me as an equal. I guess i was wrong then I shook my head and kept my recorder I stood up and faced  her squarely.

"What do you want Samantha? Don't you have any other thing to do than to make someone else's life miserable."

" Whao, is it me you are talking to like that?"

" noo, it's your shadow, why did you destroy my ear piece, you Know I w—"

Crash

She slapped me, hard. I guess that was my punishment for daring  to  stand up to her. I can't believe she just slapped me and to make matter worse she had a sly smirk on her face daring to speak further.

"Don't you ever talk back at me, ever! Now that I have your attention.—"

She spoke making me wish I could wipe that dirty smirk on her face. Thank goodness she was interrupted by the present of the mathematics teacher who said.

"What is the meaning of this? What going on here."

I was going to give a detailed description of what went down as I fought the Urge to not let the tears fall. The mathematics teacher-didn't want to hear  of it, he was more interested in Samantha side of the story as she was crying Crocodile tears just to put me in more trouble.

"All I wanted to do was listen to music using  my ear peice and recorder. I don't know what I ever did to her she just came and used her scissors to cut the wire, ruining it completely."

Samantha explained to the mathematics teacher with her face full of tears.  How does she even do it anyway. I mean, one minute she was acting all mean to me and now that a teacher was here she was the innocent victim. I can't even fight back because there was so much at stake so much I wasn't willing to risk. I just blinked away the tears that were trying to fall, I won't give her the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

" very well then . Maddlyen, since you have chosen violence over peace, go and report yourself to the principals office."

He walked up to me and dragged me out of the class shoving me out into the hall way. He slammed the door on me when I tried to enter and that immediately sent me a signal. Not matter how hard I Tried no matter how much I wanted to, I will always be the out cast of this school and unfortunately there is nothing I can do to change it. Even if I said I wanted to change school everyone at my new school would find our what a pathetic dullard I was because of my dyslexia and the cycle will continue or rather start afresh from there.

I got to the administrative block and stood at the entrance of the principals office not knowing what to do. I was confused, perplexed even because I didn't know how to relate the situation. It's wasn't as if the principal took a liking to me so there is no reason why he would go easy on me on what ever it is I had to say. I took in deep calming breaths. What was I suppose to do? what was I supposed to say? More importantly how will the principal react to it.Will I really get punished for something I didn't do? More importantly will I be able to handle it.

Just as I was about to raise my hand to knock on the door I heard someone clearing her throat. Right there before my eyes was the Japanese transfer student. She was a light as snow, her long black hair was plaited into crown roll as she was properly dressed in the school uniform.  She beckoned on me to come closer and I did only for her to grab my hand and dragging me away from the administrative block.

"Hey where are you talking me?"

I asked innocently not wanting to be too loud. We passed a couple of classes and climbed the stairs to the senior block she smiled at me and said.

" go back to your class, and pretend you just got punished."

I was more confused than shocked I didn't even know she could speak English. Of course it wasn't clear, and she had an accent which was some how funny when she pronounced some words but that wasn't the point. What did she mean by pretend? And then it hit me what she truly meant by that word

" give them a taste of there own medicine. Pretend you got punished and go back to class. I'll meet you at the monument at lunch time."

With that said she simply patted my face with both hands, her smile ever so bright before she left me there and went into her class. I had no other choice than to follow the Japanese girls advice, I didn't even get the chance to know her name. Well it's a good thing we are meeting at lunch. That will be a good Avenue to get to know her.
