Chika...
"We're here." Dad said as we got to the gate of my new school.
Urghhh... I hate being new, and to think that I'm resuming late, gosh!!!! My heart is really pounding right now. Meeting new people and making new friends is not an easy task.
Not that I'm an introvert or anything, its just that settling down is not easy."Okay". I say as I get down from the car.
" Chioma please help me with my box, let me carry the others"
"Alright".
My sister, Chioma, is in her second year in the university.
But she happened to be home by this time so she decided to tag along." Leave your things in the the car for now, go and register first, then you can come and carry them." Dad said
"Oh, okay".
" Chika, you know where the reception is, right?" Chioma asked me.
"Yeah".
" Good. Oya lead the way".
So we went through the black gate and into my new school.
Rosé Girls High
An Only girls school. Mtcheewww, after all my hopes and prayers, I ended up in exactly the kind of place I prayed against.
Single sex
Beret
Coloured socks (blue)
The whole school is on low cutUrghhh, and I've finished saving hair to plait in senior class. :(
We got to the reception , finished registration and went to get uniforms. Just then the bell rang, I checked my watch. 2:30 pm.
Hmmmm... Must be closing time
I was right. Students came running out of the two classroom blocks, and it was easy to know which was for junior and senior. Apparently the building by the right is for juniors because girls on pinafore came running out of it, screaming with joy like prisoners that were just released
Mtcheeewww, junior students sef eee...
Senior students cat walked to where I assumed was the hostel block. We went to get uniforms and from there Dad and the woman giving uniforms started talking and then BOOM!!! She became my guardian. Typical Dad. My former school didnt do guardian, twas illegal so I didnt have one.
After collecting uniforms, we were directed to the matron for searching and hostel allocation ,. She finished her business and called a fellow SS1 student to help me with my bags aand getting a hostel.
"Chidera!!!" she called the girl passing.
"Yes mummy" Chidera answered.
The woman is kinda old so...
"Take her to the hostel, show her round all of them let her choose the one she wants to stay in, then you help her with her bags."
"Ok ma"
"Good afternoon " I greeted Chidera as we made our way to the hostel
"Yeah, what's your name?"
"Chika"
"What class?"
