"mom look I made it " I whispered to the picture of my mom hanging at the wall of my room,i stared at the picture passionately and smiled,the noise of the plates in the kitchen caught my attention,well I know it was my dad in the kitchen but why was he up so early. I stood up rush to the small bathroom me and my dad shares,i brushed my teeth and had my bath quickly, I got dressed and went to the kitchen to know what my dad was up to. My dad doesn't know how to cook am always the one who does the cooking and I love doing that so I never complained.
"hey dad" I said smiling.
"heeyyyy" he said looking all suspicious which unlike him.
"what are you doing" I tried to figure out what he was doing, looking around the corners of the kitchen nothing seems bad,i only saw the knife he was holding, the pot cooking and some ingredients hanging around.
"am trying to cook for you" he quipped slightly smiling which is confusing.
"cook for me....?" I asked widening my eyes.
"yeah, you have opted to always make me happier each day so I decided to make a delicious breakfast" he said turning to continue what he was doing.
"I wanted it to be a surprise but damn you ruined my plan by coming here" he said sarcastically.
"OK... I haven't totally ruined it all, because I don't exactly know what you are making,so I will go sit and wait"i said moving back to the dining room.
This is how our relationship works, my dad acts like the uncle clown and I laughs all the time, he has always been there since my mom died and I want to make him happy all the time.
I was one of those that were picked and gotten scholarship to study at Boston high school, at first o couldn't believe that they actually picked me but then they did and I was so tied up with happiness and my dad was proud and am sure my mom would be where ever she was at.
"taaalaaa" my dad sings as he presented me with a hot smoky home made jollof rice which was one of my favorite.
"Dad.... " I hugged him.
"you are so sweet, I love you " I said as tears starts to drop from my eyes and I can't help but cried like a little baby.
"you are a blessing, come-on eat so you won't be late for school, remember is you first day and you don't wanna be late" he said with a huge smile on his face which gives me joy.
My dad went to cooking class just to make that for me which is so touching. The time moves faster than it usually does and it was time for me to go, I made sure I ate everything quickly.
"have fun at school" my dad said, for sure I don't really know how the having fun in school would be like but am ready for anything.
I kissed my dad cheek and waved at him then i got into my truck and drove off to school,i played all my favorite songs over and over again, I have never been gifted any thing as serious as going to school to one of the most prestigious school around,i was so happy.
Every single person I passed stared strongly at me and I tired My best not to make eyes contact because if I do I will fumble and fall so I maintained my eyes down till I got to the class
I got in and sat down,thank God I am here first.
Then people started pumping in the class, three set of friends came him, a guy and two girls.
"a new chick "the guy said I tried not to look up
"and she is black "the girl on the left said
"does it matter Kara?"the one on the right side said.
"what ever" Kara said
Am already shaking so I decided not to look up I don't want look at others that sure would be coming in soon because the class was about to begin. suddenly an irresistible perfume spread every where, I had to look up to see who entered,i had to and then i reluctantly looked up to see the person that came in.
He was dressed well and looking handsome,rich and fashionable. The guys by his sides were two guys who definitely didn't come from poor family either.
The guy and his two friends stop and stare at me like am a cabbage or something worse.
" who the hell is this? "he asked the class.
"a scholar"a voice from behind answered.
"stand up "the handsome one ordered me.
But I didn't pay attention to him.
"stand the fuck up"he shouted
I stood up and face him.
"what is you name "he asked.
"why do you ask ?"I asked back.
"what tha "the one at the right screamed.
"who are you? "he asked this time his tone changed.
I sat down back trying not to show that am scared as hell
"I don't think I have to tell you my name "I said with confidence.
He raised his hand to drag me up but a teacher entered
"what's going on here "the man said
"I think he is sick of something "I said boldly because I know he can't harm me in the teacher's presence
"Zach what's your problem? "he asked
"I don't have answers for you Mr Lee "he said and walked to his chair with his bodyguards I guess and I sat down on my chair
"class settle down"Mr Lee said,he ignored the Zach guy
"am happy to welcome you all this session of high school,and I hope we all can work together, love each other and participate in all the activities we have this season, OK"he said and walked towards me
"young lady can you please introduce yourself "he asked standing in front of me
"Yea I guess ,am Anna Brown" I said as bold as I can be
"Stupid name "Zach recommended
"you are welcome Anna"Mr Lee said
"thank you "I appreciate his kindness ignoring the fact that the people don't really like me
The class was slow but finally it was over so I left immediately to the cafeteria I bought things and sat on a an empty table
