I stood in front of the classroom, and the teacher came up to me with a smile. I was very nervous.

"Hello, you must be Chanel?" I nodded.

"Well im Mrs. Martin, Sit anywhere you'd like." I looked up at the class and seen everyone still starring at me. Something that I wasn't use to was being in a school with majority African Americans. Im no where near racist though. I spotted an emtpy desk in the back corner of the classroom, so I made my way to it. There were a bunch of boys back there, but I didn't mind.

"Asia, would you mind helping Chanel catch up on today's lesson?" Mrs. Martin asked a girl.

"Yes ma'am." A light skinned girl said walking towards me. She had light brown ombrè hair with blonde tips and big brown eyes. She was the same height as me with a hour glass figure.

"Okay class, now finish working on those packets and turn them in at the end of class."

The Asia girl brought a chair, sat it beside me, and sat down. She smiled at me.

"Hey I'm Asia, it's nice to meet you." She said putting her hand out. She had a thick new York accent.

"I'm Chanel, it's nice to meet you to." I shook her hand and returned the smile. She explained what we had to do and what the lesson was on, and I caught on.

"So, where you from?" Asia asked me watching me finish up my packet.

"Los Angeles, you?"

"Here in Harlem. Your pretty brave for comin to an alk black school in all places, Harlem."

"Well I didn't really have a choice. My dad got a raise at his job so I didn't really have a choice but to move here." She nodded.

We talked and got to know each other better. Asia's a really cool girl. She's 17, and she lives with her mom and her younger brother. I really hope we'll beome great friends.

The bell rung signaling we had to change classes. I looked at my schedule and seen I had Gym next.

"Hey Asia, can you show me where the gym is?"

"Yea, I have gym next to, come on this way." We made our way to the gymnasium. When we walked in there were a multiple groups of people. Some girls gave me weird looks.

"This is the gym. Its separated with different groups of people. The DBoys, Hoes, and the quiet ones." Asia said.

"Soo, who do you conversate with?"

"I usually be with my close friend Tasha. She might be in the locker room changing out. Im bouta go look for her. Just go up to coach Hart and tell him your new and he'll explain stuff to you." I nodded.

I did what Asia said. Coach Hart told me we were on the basketball unit and that I had to go change out. I went to the locker room and seen Asia with a brown skinned girl with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She must of been Tasha.

"Hey Chanel , this is my bestfriend Tasha, and Tasha this is Chanel. She new here." I smiled at her and waved. "Hey chy! Look at this little cute snow bunny at this ghetto ass school. Girl yeen scared?" She asked me. i laughed.

"I was at first, but when I meet Asia, I felt a little bit better." She nodded.

"Girl I like them red bottoms! What kind of job yo mama got?!" Asia hit her arm.
