Do you every just stare up at the ceilings and think about like? Well, I do I have been staring at the ceiling for about five minutes now and I am debating it I should get dress for school. My name is Aasiya I am 17 years old and just moved from Somalia to L.A.

 I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and do my hair and makeup. I went to my room and picked out a pair of black skinny jeans, A pink tank top and a hoodie to go on top. I went downstairs to see my mom and sister eating breakfast. I kissed them on the cheek grab a few pieces of bacon and left. I got in my car and left to go to school. 

I stayed in the car for a little bit deciding if I should go in there to a place of unknown a place where I don't know anybody or just leave. I put on my head scarf or what my dad used to call it my shash on and grab my headphones and phone and got out of the car. I locked my doors and walk to the entrance with a few people staring at me. I walked to the office to the office to get my schedule but it was taking longer than I expected. Five minutes later I got my schedule to see what classes I have and my first class was geometry. I was hoping that I didn't get boring classes and to my luck I didn't I had all AP classes. I walked to geometry  and on the way there I kinda got lost I retraced my steps and realized that I was late to class. I finally found my way and when I walked in the class everybody looked at me as I was some type of freak. The teacher got up and walked to the front of the class " Everybody this is our new student Aasiya" I looked around and smiled and all I got was blank stares. "So where are you from and how do you pronounce your name?" Mr. Jackson asked I looked around and walked a little closer standing next to him.

"Um it's pronounced  A-see-ya and I am from Somalia," I said looking down and rubbing my arm. The teacher looked at me and smiled. 

"Well we are happy to have you here in L.A you can take a seat anywhere that's open" Mr.Jackson said I looked around and found a seat in the back next to these group of boys because that was the only seat left only beside the one in the front and let me tell you know I don't do well in the front. I sat down and took out a notebook and took down the notes that were on the board. I looked on my phone to see what time it was and we had five minutes left of class. I was listening to music when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and seen a girl with purple hair smile at me. 

"Hey, I'm Bailey you are so pretty." Bailey said to me sitting next to me since everybody moved. 

"Thanks so are you I love your hair color," I said turning to face her. 

"So I know you're new and all but there's this party Saturday night at justin's house want to go with me and my friends?" She asked me smiling. I smiled and was about to turn down the offer when a boy interrupted us.

"So I heard my name being said. Hi I'm justin and might I say you are very beautiful." This boy with the most amazing  eyes I ever seen said while smirking. I blushed and smiled. 

"Justin stop flirting with the new girl dang keep it in your pants." Bailey said smiling. I looked at them and shook my head. "So can you go to the party?" She asked again and I was debating it and but finally agreed. 

"Sure I would love to see how you guys party over here." I said smiling. The bell rung and we got up to leave for the next class. 

It was lunch time and Bailey and I were laughing at something I said about American and finds out that she's from england and moved here when she was little. We got our lunch and sat down at a table and next thing I know about of people where at the table sitting and laughing. "Hey guys this is Aasiya she's going to be apart of our group now", Bailey said. Everybody looked at me and said hey and we started talking about something random. I felt somebody put their arm around my waist and I seen it was justin. 

"Hey babe did you miss me?" Justin said kissing me. I looked at him smiling and moving away.

"I swear if my makeup is messed up them we are fighting " I said laughing and everybody ohed.

"Well if that's the case let me just do this and then we can fight." Justin said licking his thumb and bring it closer to my face. I smacked his hand and pushed him away from me. We continued to joke around and I learned everybody's name. There is Bailey, Abby, Amber, Nicky then there's Justin, Chaz, Ryan, Sam and then there's this one girl that we don't speak of that moved. 

It was the end of the day and I had one more class left and that was cooking. I walked in the class late because I got lost again. I walked in and all I heard was 'Babe did you miss me' I turned around and it was justin I sighed and shook my head. The teacher gave me a partner to work with and let me just say he was cute. 

"Okay class we will be doing a desert today and since we have a new student and she's from somalia, we will be doing one her country's favorite dish which will be coconut squares." Mrs. Alder said. I smiled because this dish reminds me of home and I can only eat them once a year. We got started on making the recipe. 

"We are done everybody you can eat your square and see what you did wrong" the teacher laughed. I sat down and watch everybody eat there food and laughed when they made jokes.

"So why aren't you eating your masterpiece?" Derek asked me smiling. 

I smiled back "We are only allowed to eat the squares once every year and that's on May 18 which is our independent days."I said shrugging. He looked at me and frowned but nodded.

"I totally understand but they are really good just take one bite," Derek said holding one up for me. I shook my head no and smiled.

" Sorry I can't if we eat one before May 18 our body won't allow us to eat it on the day then that's when your family knows you had one before and you will get in trouble." I said moving to get up and grab my stuff. I walked over to Justin and sat behind him quietly mocking and copying him from behind. Chaz was in front of him and he was trying so hard not to laugh. Justin realize that was copying him and grabbed me flung me over his shoulder and started spinning. 

"Justin okay I am sorry please put me down I feel like I am going to puke", I said trying to hold myself up. The bell rung and I was still on his shoulders when we walked out everybody was staring at us and justin didn't care. We got to our friends and when he put me down my shash came off and everybody gasped. I looked at them confused "What?" I asked picking up my shash and put it in my bag.

"Your hair is so long and beautiful", Nicky said and everybody nodding and agreeing with her. 

"How is your hair so long and shinny?" Amber asked me getting ready to touch my hair, but I smacked it away. Everybody looked at me confused and I frowned.

"Sorry for smacking you but I don't like well let me rephrase that, I hate when people touch my hair and I only use somalian products. " I told them. I felt my butt vibrate and I seen that my mom was calling.

"Hello mama is everything okay?" I asked worried. She started yelling and was mad that I wasn't home let because she was to leave. I answer her back in arabic and everybody looked at me like they were amazed. I hung up the phone after my mom got off the phone. "Sorry guys I have to go but I'll see you tomorrow", I said walking away.

"Aasiya wait up can I get your number by any chance?" Justin asked grabbing my wrist softly. I smiled at him and grabbed the pen out of my pocket and wrote my number down on his arm.

I put my pen back in my pocket and kissed him on the cheek while holding his hand I whispered "Bye justin" in his ear and turned around to leave.
