Bailey's Diary

Chapter two

         Dear diary,

I and Matilda walked together to school and I think I have found a best-friend I told you I'm looking for. We reached the school and we saw other students. We heard a loud voice "Welcome to Mount Olive high school, it's a new year!" the loud voice said. We were confused of where it came from till we looked up and saw a loud speaker. We just smiled.

After, we were told to line up and a piece of paper was given to new students. Our classes were written on it and our gym classes were also written on it. I opened my paper and my classroom was grade 9b I prayed to God that Matilda should also be posted in my class. My gym class was gym 334. If only Matilda will be posted in my class then they won't be any problem with the gym class. Matilda was given a paper and I asked her the class she was posted and she said "Grade 9..." she paused "Please go on I said "Grade 9b" she said. I jumped up and hugged her and I told her I was posted there too "What about you gym class?" I asked "gym 444" she said I was slightly disappointed but was still happy we were both posted to where we will be seeing each other. I didn't bother about gym cause we will just be away from each other for just one hour. I hugged her again. We were both happy and then my eyes caught up with a girl eying and pointing at me and Matilda in a negative way to her friends. And I knew that there was trouble but was less concern because I was happy about me and Matilda being together.

"Grin! Grin!! Grin!!...

The school bell rang and it was time to get to the class. "Settle down, settle down!" A pretty but not tall woman said to us. I then sat beside Matilda and I winked at her and then she smiled.

Mount Olive is the biggest school I had ever seen and am really prepared to get lost in the school maybe twice or more times. "Okay class, I'm Mrs. Annabel but you can call Mrs. Ann and I will be taking you on Music". She said as she turned to the board. To be truthful, I didn't understand anything Mrs. Ann taught us today because she's too slow in speech making and that got me confused because I didn't know when she will start talking again.

After three more classes, we had break. "Gosh...am confused" I said to Matilda "About?" she asked. "The school off course, is so confusing, even the teachers". I said to her. "Bailey, it's just your first day and you don't know the school yet, am sure you will love it when you get to know the school. "That's true, but when I was still in Nigeria, when I entered high-school newly in grade seven; I liked the school from the very first day". "There are always different reactions to different things" Matilda said. "Bailey, am hungry please let stop talking and follow the students to the cafeteria before we miss our way" Matilda said. "Yeah! That's right" I said as I held her and ran to meet the other students.

"On the queue please!" the chef ordered. So we lined up. I was third on line while Matilda was fourth on the line. We both took our food in the tray on a table and while we were about to sit, the two girls on the table said "Please kindly move out! There are people there and by the way, we don't sit with losers". OMG!, I thought mom said the bracelet she gave me was going to bring good luck? I questioned myself. "Anyways, this is high school and in high school, people fit in" I thought to myself.

I and Matilda just took our tray of food containing carbohydrate, protein and vitamin. Matilda whispered to my ears "This absolutely a bad luck, we got to get out of here". We went to the second table, there were 2 girls and two boys sited there. Three vacant seats were also there. I then remembered a familiar face; the girl that was eying me and Matilda was sited there too. I didn't care about that...we are high school girls and we should be able to settle our differences.......if any...

"Good day guys! Matilda said trying to seat down. "Hey, don't dare loser! This seat is for winners alone". The girl said. "Common, it's just our first day and we are being called losers" Matilda said. "It's high-school anyways" I said to her. "So where are we going to seat?" Matilda asked. I saw an empty table at the back and pointed it. We both ran to go sit there because we were starving. I mistakenly slipped and fell on the floor and all the food poured on me. "Ha ha" people laughed wickedly. The girl that called Matilda loser earlier came closer and snapped me, she shook her head with a wicked smile and left. "Sorry Bailey!" Matilda said to me trying to lift me up. I was embarrassed and I Immediately loosed my appetite, I was in a mess. I couldn't believe that I didn't make my first impression at all. Pretty soon, students gathered around me and I had no option than to run away and they all laughed again. As I was running, I saw "Ladies toilet and I ran into it.
