DÈJÁ VÛ -Norminah-

11

Normani clutched her Biology textbook close to her chest as she tried to plow her way through the large crowd of teenagers. She wanted to actually make it to class on time at least once this year.

She would always get sidetracked and distracted by the beautiful light skinned girl that is Zendaya. She's so perfect and popular, but she would never notice Normani.

For a while this made her sad, but after she saw the way that the taller girl treated others, she wasn't upset anymore because she wasn't the only one getting that type of treatment. It made her feel better, along with the slight increase of confidence she now had.

Today was a little different. Normani decided that she wouldn't sit around waiting for Zendaya to walk through the doors of the high school. Although she didnt have a choice because she realized that Zendaya would be absent today. But despite all this, she really wanted to make it to class before the bell rang.

And when she speed walked into Mr. Spencer's biology class at 8:05, when the bell was scheduled to ring at 8:07, she was pleased with her self and happily took her seat in front.

She had a true grin on her face as she began pulling out her favorite pens and pencils, along with her Biology notebook.

"Ms.Hamilton! Almost ready for class and came to class on time." The blue eyed, blonde haired, middle aged man smirked at Normani and gave her a teasing round of applause.

Normani looked up at the man and pushed some of her fallen hair out of her face. "Yeah" she responded shyly and averted her eyes back down to her bag. She then heard the bell ring, causing the rest of the class to come rushing in.

Some of them were in groups laughing and talking, while others were tired and drained from a few hours of sleep.

It was loud in the classroom, flushing out alot of other sounds that filled the room. It was very loud to the point where Normani didn't even hear anyone sit in the seat next to her.

She pulled out one last item she needed for class and placed it down onto the desk next to her pencils. She jumped when she heard, "Hello, I'm Dj, nice to meet you."

Normani's heartbeat sped up seeing the smile on the girl's face. "H-hello. I'm Normani." She shook the girl's hand. "Are you a new student or transferring classes?"

Dj still had the sparkling smile on her face as she answered politely. "I already transferred classes."

Normani nodded, but inwardly cringed. "Right." She shook her head at herself and began to listen to what Mr. Spencer was going on about.

"Hi" Dj plopped down in the seat next to Normani. She looked up from her lunch tray to see the girl not paying attention. She chuckled and waved her hand in front of Normani's face in attempt to get her attention. "Helloooo?" She sang.

Normani snapped out of the trance she was in and repeatedly blinked her eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. I dont know what came over me." She looked down in her lap, feeling the blood rush to her cheeks.
