The next morning, which was mondayy, my mum woke up early in the like at 5.00 to come into my bedroom to wake me up to go and check in the kitchen if there was any chores for me to do. so i got up and went to the kitchen, and it was tidied. so i went back to my room. i bet you lot are thinking why am i not angry at my mum, well becasue back in Ghana i would have woken up like at 4.30 to sweep the whole of the compound of my dads house and trust me Ghana houses are not small like this country's house, they are wayyyyyyy bigger and have bigger compunds so i was used to my mother waking me up in the morning to do chores.
as there wasnt no chores for me to do, and i couldnt go back to sleep, i decided to start ironing my school uniform, i ironed them and made sure they were ironed properly, because back home if you do not iron your school uniform properly and you go to school the teachers will beat you, and i have already heard that in this country they do not beat up children in school and they give them something called detention, so My friend i do not want to get 'detention ' on my first day for being lazy and not ironing my school uniform.
After my ironing session, which was at 5.45 ( i took my time to iron because i do not want to get detention), i decided to go and have a long hot bath, since this country weather is not good. As i soaked myself in the very hot water, i started thinking about, how this coutry school is going to be like and how the students and also teachers are going to be like. I hope the girls in the school are friendly like Shanni and not like Cynthia, (i dont even know why i have the same name as her kmt and why is she not awake its like 6.30 now and we have to leave at 8). because if they are like her, and they make me angry i will probably insult them, because trust me back home i used to insult a lot of people. my firneds used to say that my mouth will get me into trouble one day.
i got out the bathroom, and saw cynthia standing outside there giving me a bad look,
Me: why are you giving me a screw face, are you not a morning person or what?
Cynthia: Kmt, cah you took your time in the bathroom, like it is your house u freshie...
Me: hey hey my firend if you are not a morning person or in your dream someone made you angry do not bring it on me. its too early, and just because the house is your dad's doesnt mean you can come and talk rubbish in my years and plus he is my uncle so just dont bring yourself.
Cynthia: you got a mouth on you now Akos.
Me: yh i do, i do not know why you think you can talk to me any how just because i'm new to the country and you are meant to me showing me around. please madam just leave and let me go and get ready and you too go and do your business.
Cynthia: Kmt......
I just igonred her i couldnt be bothered with her, its too early and i do not want to be in a bad mood on my first day at a new school just because of some Horse look alike. Kwasia (fool). and what does she mean by like my house. ha this girl is funnyoooo, i cant wait till my mum settle in, apparently she's got a job now, dont get it wrong my mum has got a degree in nursing so i think it was easy for her to find a job and she can also do hair so very soon she said we will be moving into our own house, well that is what she told me yesterday after shopping when we got home.
I started creaming and putting on my school clothes, it was a white shirt, black cardigan or jumper i dont know what it is on top and then a blazer and for the bottom it was a check check skirt but it was mostly blue, a little bit of black and yellow. i finished putting on the school uniform and the i might have to say that the skirt is really long. so i decided to fold it up a little bit but dont get it worng, it still go pass my knee, i also put on my school shoes which was a normal dolly shoes but i put black shocks on top of the tights and put on the tie. i do not know why i have to wear the tie but i still put it on and made it long because when a tie is short is not formal.
after all of the dressing up i went on to do my hair, you see me i have a very longg... jet black hair, but i do not really like to leave it out becasue i do not like hair touching my neck... i remeber when my father was alife he used to always tell me to leave it out becasue i apparently it really bring out my beauty and makes me look more mature but i never listern. so i combed and tied my hair back. after i turned around and it was like 7.30 so i have sometime to go and make myself some tea. i cant go a day without having my tea.. that is all i drink back home every morning.
i went downstairs and saw cynthia standing there trying to fold up her skirt. i just looked at her with a dirty looked, she turned around and looked at me up and down.
Cynthia: what in Jesus name are you wearing?
Me: the same thing that you are wearing?
cynthia: yh but you do not have to leave the skirt that long, and make your tie a little bit small and you do not have to wear tights you can just wear the long black socks. you do not wear them both together like that.....loool
Me: okay first, i have folded the skirt and i like how long it is, secondly, if the tie looks small i wont look formal, and i will consider about the tights and socks, i will remove the socks instead and lastly do you mind laughing at me, i do not like it.
she just laughed at me again and left the kitch, i just kissed my teeth and went about making my tea. ( i know my way around the kitchen now)
After having the tea it was time to go to school, i'm actually excited....... i Hope i like it.
My uncle dropped us to school and there was already a lot of children about, i saw Shanni she came to say hello to me and also told me that i should go to the reception and get something call diary and the form class i'm going to be in. and she also said that she hoped that i'm in her form class. that rat cynthia just left me and went about her business.
i went to the reception and they gave me my diary and they took me to my class...
Before i entered the class i could hear that it was noisey but as soon as the teacher that was taking me to the class entered with me everyone went silent.i looked around the class and it was a very big class and yes Shanni was in my form and yes again cynthia is not init. the teacher talked to the form teacher and got back to me, telling me that i the form teacher will turn to me. the class were whispering some of the girls at the back was screwing me so i gave them dirty looks too. the teacher went to the fron of the class and said.
Teacher: alright class be quiet, we have a new girl, her name is Akosua so please make her feel welcome and shanni i want you to show her around since you and your crew are only the sensible once.
so the teacher told me to go and sit on the chair next to shanni and her firends. i sat down and all of them started talking to me they where nice and there was this other ghanian girl there called Docas. i think i am going to be good friends with them since they are not like cynthia. they even said that they like my accent and it is joke*. i dont think my accent is jokes its just the way i speak and do not know why these wired people find it amusing....
after school
overall my first day at school was ok, i liked it and also i learned a lot and i became great friends with shanni and the rest of her friends. i found out that also cynthia do not really hang around with shanni at school because she thinks that she is too good goody*. Also the boys around the school keep telling shanni that i have a *big batty*, which i do not know what they mean i hope it is a good thing and they also call me a FOB and apparently it means fresh Of the boat. when i understood what it meant and some guy called me that in my maths lesson i called him stupid and told him i didnt come to this country by boat and i came by plane. nonsense. those girls that were screwing me when i first entered the class gave me dirty looks for the whole day and evrytime i walked past them with shanni and the rest they will start to laugh. they need prayers if the dont know laughing at me for nothing is the first stage of maddness if they must know.
I think i am going to actually enjoy this school even though i know i might have to insult some people if they keep calling me FOB and them girls that kept screwing me.... Amen...
