Classical music played in my ears as I pulled into the parking lot to my school.

My windshield wipers made an obnoxious noise as they swung across aggressively. It was pouring outside, and the droplets made a loud sound as they hit the windows to my car.

My car came to a stop as I put it in park and got out closing it behind me. I looked up at the sky as it was storming but a light shade of purple.

I walked up to the door of the school as kids bombarded me to get in. I mentally rolled my eyes as I shoved passed everyone.

As I walked down the huge hallway people whispered and stared at me as If I was the black sheep.

I'm not hurt from this as I was always treated this way. It made me somewhat happy to know I don't have to talk to anyone at this school.

I tuned everyone out as I shoved my earbuds into my ears quickly and put on some jazz music. My body swayed from every step I took, and my head bopped. When I finally made it to my locker I put in my pin and opened it.

Next to me was some random girls whispering about me and looking at me. I looked over with a bland expression that made them stare in confusion. They quickly shuffled away, and I continued to put my bookbag in my locker and take my textbooks out.

I shut my locker aggressively and walked to class as the bell rung loudly.

................................................

I walked into class as I peered at all the students of different nationalities.

Afros, straight hair, kinky hair, soft curls.

All so beautiful and appealing.

I walked to my seat and threw myself into my seat slouching as I put my textbooks on the desk.

"Welcome Class, I am Ms. Bruner."

The teacher spoke as she turned around to write her name on the some-what old chalkboard.

Everyone's whispers came to a halt as a female calmly walks through the door.

I looked at her and my music tuned out fully.

She was a beautiful caramel complexion. Her skin glowed as the light from the window shined on her melanin.

Her eyes glistened as they were a beautiful hazel and her lips were full as they did a natural pout.

Her eyebrows? Oh my... they were perfectly arched to perfection.

She was perfection.

She let her bookbag hang from her shoulder as she looked around the classroom.

The teacher looked over and her eyes widened from excitement.

"Oh- My! You must be the new student." The teacher exclaimed as she folded her arms.
