Tales of the Nigerian Girl

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Turning it off I stood from my bed and stretched my arms in the air.

First thing's first I have to wake Chika and Bobo up -my brother and sister - then I have a nice warm shower.

After the shower I went to my closet to see what to wear on the first day of school.

In Nigeria most schools used school uniforms, private or public, but here we can wear whatever we want to wear to school.  Wearing school uniform is not a bad thing, it is actually good in a way because you don't have to go through the stress of looking for clothes to wear but I still prefer not wearing them cause it get confusing at times, I remember one time, I wore the wrong color of shirt to school, the whole day I was the odd one out.

I brought out a pair of black jeans and a blue t-shirt with a long grey sweater to go with it. Once I put this on I found my black sneakers, then I tied my hair up very tight and for the finishing touch I put on my glasses.

Grabbing my black leather bag, I ran down the stairs, to get some breakfast.

" You guys should eat fast, I'm waiting for you in the car" my mum said. This isn't how mum is all the time, I guess it's because she hasn't found a jib yet that's why, but I'm sure when she finds one, should calm down.

The time is 7:53,and I am still at home, but there is nothing to worry about, because school starts later over here, by 9 o'clock.

Once I was done eating I raced to the car and sat in the passenger's seat beside my mom and she started the car before driving off.

Once I see the school the first thing I think is

big school.

I was expecting it to be big but when I get inside, it seems even bigger.

After I got my schedule and stuff, I went in search of my locker. When I found it I began offloading my things in it. This locker will make things easy for me since my bag is small, in Nigeria the schools made us carry our big heavy bags with all our books in it.

That was tiring.

The first thing I was having is chemistry so I have to look for the class before the bell rings so I would not be late. But as soon as I shut my locker the bell rang.

It seems, the world loves me.

I started looking for the class room. This school is very big. My legs are killing me because I've been walking for like ten minutes now

finally.

I noticed the classroom at the end of the corridor

I walked inside but stopped when I noticed how every one was staring at me. I gathered enough courage and  continued walking then stopping again when my body is completely inside the class

" Hello" I said when nobody said anything.

" You must be the new transfer student right, please can you introduce yourself " the lady that stood at the front of the class said.

" Sure, I'm Ad- Sapphire Unoha and.... " When someone tells you to introduce yourself what exactly are you supposed to say.

" just take a seat " the lady said. There were four seats available; three at the back and one in the centre I sat at the one at the back.
The lady continued teaching but was rudely interrupted by a boy entering the class in a rush.

" Miss Wordsworth , I am so sorry I just -  "

" Freddy why are you late again, this behaviour is very disappointing, but rules are rules, detention after school. "

He just sighed and went to his seat. Just then someone tapped me on my back.

"hey blackie " he said in a low tone, I just stared at him blankly.

" your on my seat " he said with a smirk.

" oh sorry "I said earning me stifled laugh from some students. I began packing all my books and went to the seat in the middle of the class.

I began to listen to the lecture but was interrupted by a tap on my shoulder.

" hi I'm Reesha " said the girl sitting behind me.

" aren't you supposed to be listening to the teacher,  I'm not ready more trouble" I stated " so you should mind your own business".

" I just wanted to introduce myself gee" she said.

I would have felt bad but I didn't right now I'm not up for some trouble. Besides did I Mention nobody ever called me blackie before, like racist much.

Lunch break came and I did not want to go for it at all, I mean I don't know anybody, were would I sit I can't sit on my own it will just make me look sad and lonely which is not good for my reputation as the new girl.

*sigh*

Well it seems I'll just have to skip my afternoon meal because I'm all alone, maybe I should go look for my next class or do things nerds do.... does this make me a nerd...... O my gosh o my gosh I've always wanted to be a nerd
I think its cool being a nerd cause you don't act like who you are not.... does that make sense? I doubt.

Any who I'll just look for my next class and settle down, don't want to be late now do I.

As I walked past the people in the corridor my eyes landed on a very familiar face. " hey Reesha".
She just walked past me like nobody is talking to her, that just got me annoyed so I walked away no be by force.

◽◾◽◾◽◾

" but sir I am new here how would you give me a detention for coming late, don't you understand I was looking for the class" I was already pissed by what that girl did to me and I entered this class only for this Idiot they call a teacher to start harassing me because I was late, this man get mind oh he get mind.

"miss please take a sit " I don't even now how I am controlling myself right now, but if another person should find my trouble ehh it is only God that would know what I would do.

I sat at an empty seat at the back of the class and started bring books out of my bag, after I settled down I began to listen to the man that was teaching, something tells me I would hate this man for life. While the man was teaching another boy came again but the man did not harass him for coming late, I am telling you that man is an agent of darkness. " hey blackie your on my seat ' again'"  the boy said to me, wait oh isn't this that boy from chemistry, he wants to come disturb me again during biology, first I just have him a cold stare before talking " what, is it that you cannot see that there are other seats in the class or you just feel like disturbing me, you can see I am sitting here and you are still telling me this is your seat, did you write your name on it?"

"but this is were I sit "

" next time you would not come late " with that he left for another seat not without glaring at me.

It serves him right.

After detention I had to walk home cause I missed the bus, today was so tiering I hope tomorrow would be better cause I can't go through all that stress again.

*sigh*

Oh well, a good night sleep should be the cure to the pain in my neck.... literally.
