~Maimouna's POV~
"Maimouna, will you please come up and introduce yourself to the class," asked Mrs Bonnet in a soft, gentle tone. Mrs Bonnet was a slim, tall old lady around about 5'9. Her brunette hair was cut into a short bob. If you're wondering how I can observe things this quick, don't worry, you'll find out later.
I slowly got out of my seat and walked to the front of the classroom. All eyes were on me but I didn't mind because I was used to it, when you had skin as dark as me you will always attract a crowd of eyes.
I finally reached the front of the class room and I began," I'm Maimouna Zigo. I'm 17 turning 18 on the 17 of May. I moved from South Africa to here, America, when I was fourteen. I was homeschooled from fourteen to sixteen. Last year I was going to Crenshaw High School."
" Boo!" The whole class said boo because Crenshaw is the rival school of Seldon High School, our school. I gave them all a smile with my perfect white teeth. Some of the guys took it in a flirtatious way and winked at me. I let out a soft giggle and continued.
"I was born in the Eastern Cape of South Africa so I can speak fluent Xhosa if you don't know what that is, it's basically the language they speak in Wakanda in the movie Black Panther. My favourite movie is Avengers Endgame because that movie was EPIC! So I guess that's all you need to know about me."
I was about to walk back to my seat, but Mrs Bonnet stopped me," Maimouna, there's got to be more that you can tell us. Like umm........ what is your favourite colour?" I stared right into to her brown pupils while she stared at my black ones. People always told me I had the most beautiful eyes they've ever seen. They always told me it added to my beauty, but I always asked them, what is beauty.
"Grey," I was about to continue to walk back to my seat when she stopped me again.
"Why were you homeschooled from fourteen to sixteen?"
I took a deep breath and answered,"I moved from South Africa to here because I was offered a modeling contract and I took it."
"Its a no brainer. You're gorgeous," the guy sitting at the back said.
I gave him a small smile and said,"Thanks," before continuing."I had to be homeschooled in case they need me at short notice. Something came up and I stopped modeling." Talking about why I stopped modeling was a heart wrenching topic. I was going to take my seat again because my legs were getting tired, she stopped me.
"What happened that made you stop modelling?" I wondered why this lady was so nosey? I was about to ask her if it's any of her business when the bell rang.
I walked towards my desk to grab my bag when someone grabbed me by the arm and spun me around. Next thing I knew I was facing a tall, light-skinned guy with dark brown eyes. He was incredibly handsome, but not my type because you don't touch a lady without her permission."Hi, my name is Hakeem. What's yours?" He asked with the biggest smile on his face.
I gave him a small smile before replying,"You would know if you listened to my introduction, dipshit."
