I saw my bestie stand on her knees with a scratch on her face.I saw tears starting to come out her eyes drop by drop,then,like a waterfall.I never saw her crying,because I thought she is the strongest person ever met!I ran up to her and then got on my knees and started screaming for help.No-one stoped.Racism could be seen with the naked eye flowing through the wall.She began to sway gently and gently as I stroked her hair.

-What did we do to deserve this?We are PEOPLE TOO!We haven't killed anyone!Just because of the ninety..

-Please,Betty..stop blaming yourself for nothing.It is not our fault that we were born darker in color...Shhhh....

-Thank..you..f..for begin here...

-Let's go to the doctor's office.

-Okay.

The nurse putted a bandage on the scratch.We wanted to tell the director about that,but Betty thought we will get more bullied for this so we went to classes.

The first class was music.As I konw how to sing and play the guitar  it won't be that hard to take an A.But for Betty...is different.She doesn't know how to sing or even to hold an instrument..But she is talented in art!I am good at art too.She draws animes and chibi people,while I draw realistic.

-I am very nervous and stressed!said Betty trembilg a little.What if the teacher will give us an F for begin black!What if..if-

-These are just in your dreams,Bet!Nothing like this will happen in real.Maybe we will have luck and she will be black too!But there is no way that will be true.

We knocked at the door.She told us to come in.I froze in front of the wide-open door with big eyes.Betty too.She was completely black.We stare at the music teacher for 20 seconds and then Betty started talking.

-Hello.I'm Betty  Albow.

-And you,sweety?

She talked to me.I never talked to a black woman which her har can be seen.It was really strange.

-I..am  Ariana Dismithg.Nice to meet you.

I bowed down for her as a sign of respect.

-I'm miss Jina!And I will be your music teacher till'you will graduate.I hope!

After class Betty asked the teacher if we can talk with her,and she accepted.

-We wanted to ask you...something...

-What is it?Come on!I don't get mad that fast!Oh,I get it.

-You do?I asked surprised.

-Yes.Every black kid that comes in our school asks me the same think and I got used too.

-This is so strange..

-Why so?

-Well,I thought this is a all white school..

-Have you met the other black children?

-Another black children?

-Yeah!Do you have some time  after school?We can go to the cafeteria that is near the school!

-I have to ask my mom.But I'm sure she will not mind if I come late home.I mean your a teacher..

-GREAT!What about you Betty?

-Sure.She let's me go everywhere if there is  Ari with me.

After the school ends I called my mom.

-Hey mom.

*on the phone*

-Hello,sweety!What's wrong?

-I wanted to ask you something..*sigh*my new music teacher..well she asked me if we could go to the cafeteria..

-Ariana..

-There will be more black children and..and we will have fun!Mom I swear!I will be alright!

-Ari..Are you sure?I mean you never went anywhere...

-Yay!Bye mom.Love ya!

-Love you,too sweety!

*end of the call*

I ran as fast as I could but my legs where to..tiny..
