The Protector

Not School!!

Naomi POV

Moonya got out of the hospital three days ago, so guess what? I have to go to school here...great. Moonya said, "You'll be fine. Just keep calm and be yourself." I said, "I can't keep calm, I'm going to a new school with people in Egypt." Moonya said, "You have to, teachers here don't accept fighting." I said, "But they accept bullying." Moonya said, "Would you quit it with the bullying, please? Just be you and you'll be alright." This new school I don't like, all the kids were like bullies. I arrive in the school grounds of Caro High School, everyone was standing talking to each other, a group of boys smoking and drinking, and then the clique of all the girls who think they are the stuff. Nope, I don't like it here.

I said, "This is a mess here, look they are smoking and drinking over there. You think they won't mess with me?" Moonya looked and said, "They do look mean, just try to stay out of their way, okay?" I said, "Yeah." Moonya said, "Well, I have to go, I'll be picking you up late. Okay?" I said, "Yeah, sure." I walked into the school building passing everyone around me including the group of boys. Once I was in, I went to the office, Mr. Harmon was the principle of the school, I said, "Hello, my name is Naomi. I'm the new student here." Mr. Harmon said, "Welcome to Caro High School. I'm the principle here at this school. Here's your schedule and have a good day." I grabbed the schedule and headed to my first class. Mrs. Trina was my teacher for history and ancient history. I walked into her classroom and said, "Good morning my name is Naomi. I'm the new student in this class." Mrs. Trina said, "Welcome, take your seat." I sat in the front of the classroom. Since I'm losing 5% of vision in one eye, I have to sit the front of the class.

The bell rung, people started coming in the classroom and taking their seats. One of the kids with the group that was smoking and drinking, came into the classroom. He sat n the back of the class, as well as that, he was a little drunk. The bell rung again and class began. It first started off as saying good morning to each other, and then the most embarrassing part of my life, being introduce to the whole class. Mrs. Trina said, "We have a new student that will be joining us in tie class. Naomi would you stand up, please?" I stood up in front of the whole class, some people laugh and other smack their lips. Mrs. Trina said, "This is Naomi." It was silent for a little then the while class said, "Hello Naomi." I sat down and took out a notebook.

The next you know I get hit with a paper ball, it landed on my desk. I turned around to see if anyone was laughing at the whole thing. Not one person look up, I turned back to the paper ball and un-crumbled, it said 'Loser.' Great, my first day here and I get hit with a paper ball with the word 'loser' on it. I went back to notes, then I had a feeling that someone was watching me. I kept looking straight at the board taking notes until the bell rung. I followed my schedule until lunch, the food here was better than the food in America. I got pizza, fries, and a coca cola cherry pop and sat at a table. I was in pease and harmony until a group of girls came near me, the stuck-up girls who think they have the stuff but really they don't, yeah those girls.

One girl said, "Look that new girl." "That's not a girl, it's something else." "Can it talk?" I said, "What do you want? And I have a name by the way." The girls gasps. "Look it talks, it talk to us." "But the attitude wasn't very nice." "Do you know who your dealing with?" I said, "The ish girls." "Ish?!" I said, "Yeah, another word for the stuff that comes out of your butt when you use the bathroom." "Ewww." Then the girls moved away to the group of boys that was smoking and drinking earlier. I was glad that it was over, for a short while.

Then the group of boys came over to my table. "Hey you, are you the one who talked smack to our girls." "You know your going to get it big time." I said, "They messed with me, so here you guys are." "Want to be tough, eh? Lets see where it get you." They grabbed me and dragged me to the unisex bathroom. They started beating me up and kicking me. Once the were finish, "That's enough, I think this good-for-nothing rat got what it deserve." "Hey guys, she's a new kid around here." "New kid? Why didn't you say something?" "You know me." "Well, now she knows not to mess with the 208 squad." They dropped me and left me in the bathroom, I stayed in there until the end of the day.

Once everyone left, I walked out of the bathroom and headed to the from doors. Then I got stopped by one of the girls of the 208 squad. "What are you still doing around here?" I said, "Just leaving." "Well, hurry up. There an weirdo looking for you. Wouldn't want to be like you." She laughed and walked away. I walked out of the doors and I see Moonya with her arms crossed. Moonya said, "Where have you been?! I was waiting for you." I said, "I was..." Moonya said, "You was what?! Skipping classes?!" I shook my head no and she looked at me funny. I said, "What?" Moonya said, "What happen to you?" I said, "What? What are you talking about?" She touched a bruise that was on my face. Moonya said, "Did you get beat up?!" I looked down, Moonya said, "Lets go home, we'll talk there." She pulled my arm and I flinched in pain. She stopped and said, "What?" I said, "It's nothing." I started walking real slow. I hate school, especially here.
