Give Me A Reason

first day in school

What was the meaning of the stunt you just played back there?

Ummm sorry sir...I said looking at the floor. Did not have the courage to look up

Don't just start with the sorry line Missy, just answer my question. And when talking to me you look directly to my face

Rasing my face up to meet a angry red faced man. Taken a look at him, he will be in his mid forties or thereabout, handsome with a catchy brown eyes...

Am waiting for your answer Missy..

Sorry principal I just felt the school was hunted..

Hunted?  He asked looking at me like I was mentally unstabled.  I am calling your mother this very minute..

Please sir don't do that.my mom is going to be disappointed, please just give me any form of punishment but not my mum.. I begged and gave him my best puppy eyes that no one has been able to resist..

Am not going to tell your mother. Not because you said so,  but because your aunty was here to register you as a new  student and she mentioned your mom going through a divorce..Don't want her feeling sad again.

I mentally rolled my eyes..Does aunty Tish love telling everyone about the divorce..
Thank you sir I said inaudibly, not sure if heard it.

Don't thank me maria. Now leave my office at once and look for my secretary office down the hall for your time table,and school uniform and materials

Okay sir and thank you sir i said before leaving  the office...

Searched for the secretary office,  and thank Goodness I saw it with ease.        * knocked.*
*No response,* I knocked again.        *no response* ...
Maybe the so called secretary  is outside with the student.
So I decided to wait outside till he or she shows up... What is so important or who can be so important for it to be a must that sudent has to line up under a hot and scorching sun..

10 mins later noises of student running  started filling the whole building..

Then a woman in her late thirties walked up to me..
Hey you must be the new student..

Yes ma

Am Mrs Johnson she said Walking to her office.

Maria Jason I said sounding awkward

Take a seat Maria

Thanks

She went through her desk bringing out a piece of paper guess it was my time table...
With three neatly folded cloth, she handed me the clothes.

Maria go into the room over there and test this uniforms for the one which fits you

Stood up went to a room which resemble a dresser and checked the first one and I love  how nicely the white shirt  and Ash skirt  complimented my body..

I could say am curvy... It brought out all my body figure. I must confess that I  hated schools that allows student wear uniform but seeing myself I kinda love it....

So I did a 360 dance before coming out of the dresser..

Part of me wanted to test the other two..who knows how great one of  the uniform may look on me.

But I was so tired after the mini dancing I did and the encounter that just  happened. And beside I look great on this.... 
Packed my previous clothing  inside my bag, checked my face and thank Goodness by makeup is still intact..
Use my bag rag to clean the dust on my shoe.. Arranged my hair... Satisfied with what I saw I went out of the room...

Very good Mrs Johnson said..you look wonderful..

Thanks Mrs Johnson

Take your time table..looking at it you have just one class before lunch..
We spent all morning talking to that man. She said the word "man" with contempt in her voice.. 

I mentally suggested that the man who addressed the student was no good.
Take your keys to your locker. Your lockers number is on your time table..

Took my time table and the keys and headed out of the office with a thank you ma.

Looking at my time table found out I have three lessons more, I have one by 11am.  checking my time I realize it was 10:45 ..so I quickly found my locker put my stuff in it took my books and went in search for class 1235..

Walked around the school hall and I could not find the class number..

Oh great.. not only did I embarrass myself but I will be late for class today.

I decided to check the other left  side of the hall then I saw class 1235... Thank Goodness I breathed out and arranged my uniform before boldly entering the class..

I entered and half of the student were talking to each other.. others were with there phones and the remaining few just stared blankly on the wall.. 

I saw an empty chair at the side of the class, so I quietly sat there waiting for the teachers to come to class...

Few minutes an elderly woman.. walked in the class room with a book on  her  hand..

"Good morning class" she sounded so friendly
Morning Mrs Williams

Today is literature and we going to read pg 223
Then her eyes roamed the whole class it softens when  she looked at me
Sweetheart you are the new student she said so gentle

Yes Mrs Williams was all I could answer

Nice dear,Can you tell the whole class your name.. she said sounding sweetly but firm

"She don't have to" a distant male voice said .she is already named "crazy"..
The whole class busted into laughter..

Stop it victor Mrs Williams said..

Not minding the voice I looked  at the teacher with all boldness as if what the  voice said and the laughter did not affect  me.my name is Maria Jason

Oh !"she did not even deny that she is crazy" the voice said again with another round of laughter

I turned sharply at the voice and said so confident"  "I did not say anything because your stupidity is not shocking enough"
What I said made the victor guy or whatever is name is  suprised and shocked before erasing the emotion from his face.. And my statement brought a lot of "ohh! Damn" from the student, but some student looked at Victor expecting so sort of come back..
Satisfied with making Victoria shut up by what I said made me ridiculously happy and I sat down and opened to page 223..

The class was enjoyable enough..Mrs Williams has a funny personality..

The bell rang indicating the end of the class..most of the student rushed out..
and others stayed gisting..

Hi I am Benita,"a voice said sounding
Polite and friendly. Look up and saw a  girl who is the same age with me, hair braided into two, with a beautiful face and clear skin.
But teenage girls are trouble and need to avoid them like a plague.
Am Maria I answered her sounding disinterested and rude.

Wow! "what'up with the voice kid" I just wanted to ask if you want to eat lunch at the cafeteria with me

Looked at her she sounded genuine and seem ike a good kids... And my stomach choose to rumble at the mention of the name "lunch"

Take a look at her again but this time I was emotionless.. she is polite and you need someone old to teach you the basic of the school. So why not? I asked an rhetorical question.

Yeah love too.. sorry about the way I responded to you .

No problem Maria...

"Now come on"  she said literally dragging  my hands.let grab something to eat before the hungry kids out there finishes it..

Another chapter again.
