Differences.

Chapter eight

"Hey Femi your a beautiful singer" Megan said as she walked past me in college. People smiled and clapped for me every time I walked past them and I would smile in return, me singing on Saturday had made people notice my existences and loads of people claim that we are friends now. I have not seen Ramel yet but I took no notice of it, I walked to my first lesson and took a seat at the back. Ramel came in looking a little bit scruffy with Angel following closely behind only a fool wouldn't know what they have been getting up too. Ramel came to sit next to me and didn't say one word until he got his book and pen out.

"Hey"

"Hello"

"You alright"

"Yes I am and you" I replied looking over to him. He smiled and I smiled too.

"Yeah I'm great"

He reached into his pocket bringing out his blackberry seeing as the teacher wasn't here. The classroom went quiet at one point due to people shhing; we heard clicking and clacking from the other side of the room. We watched the door intrigued to who it may be. The door slowly opened and the head teacher came in.

"Ramel put that away and everyone you know your teacher is on maternity leave so you have a temporary teacher now"

She opened the door and in came a light skinned lady who looked to be in her 40 smartly dressed in a black suit. She walked further in examining the whole classroom walking row by row.

"Hello class I'm Mrs Frank"

She came and stopped at me smiling and examining me, she made me feel weird. Ramel squeezed my thigh under the table making me face him even he was looking confused. She carried on and when she was done she walked to the front of the class to teach. Ramel kept talking to me and I kept getting in trouble so she told me to stay behind. When the bell rang everyone left leaving me and Mrs Frank alone. I sat in my seat quietly as she was cleaning the board and humming a song I have heard before but I could not remember where. I joined in quietly looking at my bag I looked up to find her not there, I turned beside me and she was there looking straight into my eyes. I moved away from her slightly and grabbed my bag with that song playing in my head.

"Miss ill not distract myself next lesson so may I go"

She nodded but still looked at me and that was actually scaring me. I walked towards the door and when I shut the door I looked through the glass to see her still watching me. I quick walked away till I knew I was near some crowd of people. I sighed but that damn song kept replaying in my head, I turned the corner and met Ramel, Dwayne and the others all standing there engaged in their blackberries. I kissed my teeth silently and walked past making sure my presence wasn't noticed.

"Femi"

I turned around and Dwayne was standing there smiling. I walked towards them standing next to him, he walked around me and hugged me from the back not letting go. I looked up to Ramel who silently watched then looked back onto his phone.

"You alright b"

"Erm yes and you"

"Yeah now that your here"

I shook my head and unfolded his arms fixed around me walking out of his hold. He winked at me and I just laughed looking away. Dwayne is not even ugly he is very handsome but not Ramel handsome, he has a blonde Mohican and light brown eyes with an eyebrow piercing, he has good taste in clothes making him look like them Atlanta boys.

"Where you from b"

"Nigeria and yourself"

"Trinidad"
