Ugly Luggry ! Ugly luggry!
They sang as I picked up my books from the ground hurriedly. As soon as I had them in my grip , someone kicked my back from behind and they toppled over again . I bit my chapped lips , tears flowing down my cheeks . One of them held a bottle of milk over my head and poured it all over me , breaking the first rule of a Black woman- Don't mess with the hair
I'm not necessarily black though , infact the last black married into my family was my grandmother but then ; I just happened in be 'lucky' enough to have her hair which made me stand out among my white classmates like the devil in heaven
Mum and Dad had felt it a good idea to let me go to a school with mostly whites so I could "get accustomed and be like them"- Mum's words but she has no idea what I go through every day
I stared at the pile of books on the ground and spotted my diary . I tried to hide it away in my coat but Troy saw me trying to hide it and he took it from me
No! No! No! No! No! No!
Troy can't see that Noooo!!!
He's going to know ......
I looked up meaning to confront him about it when he stared at me and smirked
He knows
He knows I have a crush on him
Someone hit me in the back with an egg . Where they got it from? I don't know . Soon enough , the others pucked up idea and began to rain eggs on me from all corners
"Wear this on your face!!"
"It'll make you pretty!"
" Ugly luggry!!"
I stood up , snatched my book from Tony and ran off...........
