I entered the class and the bell was rang for the first lesson to start. I sat behind the desk and asked Greg who was sitting behind me, "Greg darling, what subject do we have first?'' He replied, "baby girl, the first subject is Maths." I shouted, "shoot, why do we come to school anyways? Oh, we are being forced to by or parents. How sad." I really hate math, I think everyone does. I said and rolled my eyes. He hit my shoulder sympathetically and said, "I feel your pain darling." That's easy for him to say since he makes As in math.
I turned my head and pushed his shoulder and smiled. As the math lesson continued, I tried my best to totally withdraw my attention from the subject. I picked my jotter and started writing a poem of some sort.
It went like this,Why does love have to be so difficult
The girl tries to get noticed but the boy does not realise
The struggle of dreaming of him every night.
Seeing him with someone else, or what grief.
I guess we are not yet of age to take all this burden, the good and the ugly
But there is no harm in pushing, so I try harder
Who knows? Maybe it will work one day.
Love EllieWhile I was writing, I heard my math teacher, Mr Bricks say, " Miss Ellie, what are you writing there?'' He came closer and snatched the jotter from me. I opened my mouth and no words came out. Then, Greg said, "we were given a project work by Miss Arthur to write, ummm, a poem. She wasn't here for sometime so I told her this morning. She was just finishing her project sir." I sighed and smiled at him. Mr Bricks gave me back my book and said, " you can do that after the math class then Ellie" he smiled and continued his lesson. When I checked the time, it was 1 minute to break. I started counting, 60,59,58,57,56, till I got to 3,2,1 which I shouted when I was counting. The bell was rang and I shouted, "Bam!" I got up from my desk and had my class teacher call me.
My class teacher was called Mrs Cardbury, she was a tall beautiful dark woman. She had a lot of black hair. It was quite a lot. She was calm and accepted everyone as they were. She always asked if the class was under progression or retrogression and did all she could to make things better. Today, she wore a black dress which reached her knee exactly. I complimented her on her dress and she said, "Thank you dear. Ellie, after several discussions with the head teacher and teachers, we have decided that, you would be the leader of the school choir. So anytime we have worship or general events, you will have the responsibility of anything to do with music. So you will need to do auditions. Its all on you, you are the boss in that without any decision by the teachers.'' I smiled and responded, "this won't be a big deal for me. I promise you that I won't disappoint you.'' She smiled and nodded, "I know that you wouldn't Ellie. But, you are to put up good behavior if not you will be stripped off your post,'' I nodded and left her presence. As I left the class, Kelvin asked if I had wanted anything. And I replied, "a can of diet coke will do please," he said, "at your service ma'am." I smiled and walked past him to the next class. I went to visit one of my friends, her name was Tinasha, she was my fooling partner. We fooled so must and got into trouble together. When she met me, we did our usual cheek kissing. Then she said, 'comment ça va?' I responded, "ça va trés bien merci." We laughed and walked down the hallway together to go and swipe our cards. This was something we had to do in order to get food.
When I went to the swiping room, Christiana was there and I murmured, "is this girl stalking me or something?'' Tinasha and I went back to the class and discussed stuff about popular musicians. As we were talking, Kelvin brought my can coke and I smiled. Tinasha then said, "so this guy has not stopped loving you? Never knew love was this deep," I added, "well, it is."After that, the bell was rang for the next lesson to continue. I went back to my seat and turned to Greg, "soooo... how is it with you and Alicia? And thanks for helping me out this morning. Much love and kisses.'' He replied, ''you are welcome darling , and Alicia and I are fighting. She lied to her mum that I had tried to rape her. And that was too much of lies because I respected her when she said she didn't want to have sex.''
I was sad because Greg was way too nice to have a girl playing with his feelings, "what a whore,''I chuckled and added, "well since you two are in love, you will come back together anyways so don't worry." When I turned to look forward, I was overjoyed because a teacher was going to finally brighten my day. We were having Science with Mr Hughs, he was so interesting and funny. His lesson is understood perfectly and he understood students. He was a disciplinarian though. The Science lesson was interesting because we were learning about reproduction . And when he started talking about sex, the boys were making all those sex noises.
Kelvin stood up and said, "why do the girl's go all like, give it to me baby, aaahhhh , mmmmmm when they are in the process?'' I looked at him and rolled my eyes, "it's moaning Kelvin, that's what it is," how boys can be so perverted. Kelvin looked at me before sitting down. Mr Hughs gave us an exercise before leaving.
After that, we had Visual Arts before lunch. I, together with Tinasha took our food which was, fries with ketchup and chicken, and I grabbed a can of coke and we stood for sometime. My second can of coke that day. ''Tinasha, I am not sitting with Christiana today. So.....'' as I scanned through the dining hall, there was only one table with two free seats apart from that of Christiana, which was the boys table. The table consisted of all the perverted boys in grade 8a, there was Kelvin, Greg, Brian, Montelle, Thomas, Joey, Tobi and the two brothers Caleb and Donald. These boys were so funny and interesting to hang out with, but they were of a very bad influence. They mostly spoke about girls, and their latest dates, and the next girl they plan to get, and rating girls by their ass, and the boobs and those kind of stuff. We went to their table which was on the left corner of the room. When we reached there, Kelvin pulled my chair for me to sit and Greg pulled Tinasha's chair for her to sit on.
