Jordan Loughran as Rachael Napia

Ghana....

It's been a month now since I relocated to Ghana, to live with uncle Peter and his family.
I was enrolled into "KUFFOUR HIGH SCHOOL ACCRA" which was one of the top schools in Accra.
      What was really Bothering me about about starting this school, was that it's a mixed school.

In Cameroon I attended a single sex school, but I wasn't allowed to have my rest of mind.
Am not trying to boast but am a very pretty seventeen years old teenage girl, am almost a professional at handling the violin, am good at sports and am a good dancer.
I was nicknamed lady perfect and nearly all the girls in my former school, were jealous of me and always looked for a way to pick on me.
"Alex you are a strong girl and you are definitely gonna survive, you just stay low, try to go through high school without receiving any type of attention".
I consoled myself before drifting off to sleep.

The next day.....

Alex!! Rachael!! wake up girls, go get ready for school, you don't want to be late on your first day of resumption" mother (aunt Rose) yelled from the hallway.
"Fuck school"

I quickly took my bath and dressed in my school uniform, a black skirt on a white long sleeve shirt and black neck tie
I let out a groan in frustration while fumbling with my tie, *how much I love ties*...sarcasms...

       Everyone was already seated at the dinning table by the time I got there, Rachael and I quickly ate our food before running towards mum's car where we argued about who gets to sit at front seat with her.

"Abaa na boo mum (see you later mum)" we both chorused, waving at mom until her car got out of sight.
I turned around to look at the mighty gate in front of me, the gate had the inscription "KUFFOUR HIGH SCHOOL ACCRA" on it.
Wow was all I could say as I used my eyes to survey the magnificent building.

We both walked towards the classroom block, then Rachael turned towards me "Andra" She placed her hands on my shoulder " I want you to get used to the school environment, so am not gonna follow you to your class, I want you to go and socialize "
She pointed towards a class with the inscription grade 11 ART in it.
"That's your class, bye sweetie" she gave me a Peck before she left for her class which I guess was grade 11 technology.
"Yes am a strong girl" I whispered to myself before walking into my class.

Immediately I stepped into the class there was a piercing silence for a minute, all eyes were on me then murmurs of
"i think she is the new girl, she looks rude, wow! She's pretty" I just stood in front of the class looking like a lost sheep.

I noticed a cute chubby girl walking towards me, she was smiling at me exposing her nearly pure white teeth.
"Akwaaba (hey)" she said, it seemed she had a natural smiling face.
"Hey" I replied her forcing a smile on my face but damn!! I was so nervous.
She looked at me for a while before speaking
"I guess you are Alexandra Napia" I replied with a nod. I hope she understands that am not trying to be rude I was just too nervous to even speak.

"That's cool!! Am Yvonne peter and you are my seat mate" she helped me carry my bag and she held my hand in her free hand "come let me show you your seat" I just met Yvonne in less than five minutes but I already like her, she's a very jovial person.
I later calmed down when all my class mates came and told me welcome to KUFFOUR HIGH SCHOOL with a sincere smile on their faces.
