Nia's pov
We make our way to our first period rather quickly. After the confrontation about the impromptu party I had to find a place to drop off my little sister.
"Nia!" I heard someone say my name turning my head to see Zoey looking at me weirdly.
"Wassup?" I asked her and she sighed. "I don't know what to do with you" she muttered slapping her forehead.
"We we're talking about the party, we can come over to your house to get dressed and my mom can take Zara" Zoey said smiling as she opened the classroom door.
We were bit early since the teacher wasn't in class yet so we sat at the middle row awaiting the teacher.
"O my gosh Zoey, look at Kyle" Amilia said pointing to Zoey's ex boyfriend.
"Ugh......Amilia, we already broke up, there is no bringing us back together" she said flicking Amilia's forehead while I examined Kyle more.
"But he looks like a mess" I said looking at her with sympathy. She shrugged and looked at him but I didn't miss the worry in her eyes looking at her ex boyfriend.
"Yeah........why did you break up?" I asked her and she sighed before running her hands through her hair.
"I just got bored okay?" She said and I looked at her.
"You are lying, just tell us" Amilia said and I nodded.
"He cheated okay?, I saw him kissing Cara" she said and sniffled. "When I asked him he said it was a framed work and all, and I don't believe because he claimed Cara is his best friend, and she was always sus"
"At least hear his side of the story?" Amilia suggested and Zoey huffed. "This is why I didn't want to tell you.....you will always support him" she said and slumped in her seat.
The teacher came and I was shocked to see it wasn't our old wrinkled sweet Mrs Maddie. She looked younger and curvier and the pencil skirt she wore brought out her small waist, she wore a pink shirt and and her hair was styled in a sleek bun, her dark skin shone and I could already see Amila's eyes one her.
"Wow!, who let this model in here?" A random boy asked.
"Ma'am aren't you supposed to be on the runway?" Another student asked and I scoffed.
Yeah she was beautiful but this was too much.
She smiled and moved to the chalkboard "MISS SANDERS" she wrote and dusted her hands before making her way to the front of the class.
"Good morning students, I am Miss Sanders as the board may have told you, I am your new English teacher and I do not tolerate nonsense" her British accent flowed nicely.
"That means she isn't married" Amilia whispered to Zoey and i and we both sighed slapping our foreheads.
"As you may have been told your old English teacher has retired and we shall commence this class with peace" she said picking up a book from her desk.
"I believe we have all read the great gatsby?" She said and we all shook our head.
"What about 'to kill a mockingbird?" She asked and mummers were heard.
"Well then let's go a little bit broader, Take me with you?" She asked.
"Gladly" a voice was heard and the class erupted in laughter.
"Okay what about Beloved" she said sighing, I nodded my head and she pointed at me.
"You....yes you stop looking at the back and tell us what you know about that story" she said leaning on the desk.
"Um......." I said getting up and she sighed.
"Miss.......?" She asked.
"Nia..Nia Dobrev" I said and she nodded.
"Miss Dobrev then, tell us what you know or summarize the story......and make it snappy" she said clapping her hands and I sighed.
"The story is based of a true story of a slave woman Margret Garner who in eighty fifty six escaped from a Kentucky plantation with her husband and her children. Although they sought refuge in Ohio, their owner was still one step ahead of them and caught up with them.
Before they were captured Margret killed her youngest daughter so as not to return to the world of slavery. This all happened when black people were still sold." I said and she clapped her hands.
"Please tell us more" she said and I looked at my classmates who all looked at me as my hands shook I continued.
"The story also talks about a passionate mother Sethe, who flees from her owner also known as the school teacher. In order not to return to the world of slavery she kills her youngest daughter, she was only two years of age, the school teacher witnessed this and called sethe crazy and didn't take her back in fear that she might kill him too. While burying her daughter she could only write Beloved on her tombstone. Although she wanted to have dearly beloved written she did not have the energy because one word costs ten minutes of sex with the engraver. The child then haunts her.....blah, blah, blah" I said sitting down.
Miss sanders clapped and sighed using her manicured fingers to wipe under her eyes.
"That was beautiful, literally one of my best stories" she said and smiled at me.
"Okay so students I want you and someone to team up and write a one thousand word summary on a book that you both read, and you will not be picking your partners" she said and everyone groaned including me.
"I will select random names and settle it, anyone who feels they are not comfortable with their partners should tell me" she said and I sighed.
"It would be posted by fifth period" she said and we all groaned.
"Good Job nerd" Zoey said and I smiled.
"The fact that you made a good impression before me and she already loves you" Amilia says frowning and I laugh.
"It's not funny" she huffed and I laughed.
"Hey what if they match you and Sadie together, I see the way you look at her" Zoey said trying to lighten Amila's mood.
"Meh" she says putting on her AirPods and we could literally hear the blasting voice of Katy perry.
"Let's just hope I don't get matched with one of the jocks" Zoey said sighing and scribbling down on her notebook.
"How did you know all of that about a book anyways" Zoey asked and I sighed.
"I was just sorta embracing my culture and stumbled upon it, it was so good I made research on it"I said and she gasped.
"O my gosh, Zane just looked at me and smiled" Zoey said screeching and I looked at Zane to see him and his friend Kio, I guess he knew I was looking at him and stared at me for a long period of time, I didn't back down also staring at him before he broke it off and gave me a small smile. I turned back to Zoey and she screeched.
KIO FREAKING ANDERSON SMILED AT ME.
