An African girl who had just moved to the the states has no friends. She goes into a school with predominantly white people ,and she meets a boy who is intrigued with her. What will happen between these two?
Here I am in America in my aunt's small two bed room apartment. I have no friends and no family to to talk to. I left everything in Africa my mom, dad, and four year old little brother. My mom insisted that I should move to America for a better education and opportunities. My aunt says I will be starting a new school tomorrow and that there is mostly white people . I don't know how to feel about that because in Africa I hear about racism and I'm scared that I will feel alone in this school. But I feel mostly excited to see what school will be like here in America.
I wake up to my aunt shaking me "Lulu baby you gotta get up" I get up and walk into my closet to see what I'm wearing. I do not have much clothes here. So I decided to wear a sundress that my aunt gave me the first day I came to America.

My aunt drove me to school since she didn't want me to take the bus on my first of school in America. When I arrived at the front of the school I was shocked at how big it was. It was 10 times bigger than the school I went to in Africa! I went inside the school and all I can feel is stares. Maybe they haven't seen a black person before. I went to the front desk and they gave me my information for all my classes. My first period class was English. I loved English back in my country. When I went inside the classroom I wasn't surprised to see everyone staring at me. "And who must you be" the teacher said " Hello my name is Lulu!" I said excitingly Everyone laughed at me and I was confused why. I made my way to a seat that was in the front row so I can focus on everything. While the teacher was teaching I felt something being thrown at me. I turned around and saw a paper ball on the floor. So I picked it up and open it. I opened it and it read "African Booty Scratcher why are you here in this school you don't belong here"
I chose not to get mad at this because my aunt warned me about the racist people in this community so I was expecting it. Someone tapped me and I looked up and saw and beautiful young girl with brown eyes and blonde hair. " Hey I'm Nia, you shouldn't get mad at the note they throw at you, their just surprised to see a beautiful black girl like you in this school". " Aww thank you" I said awkwardly not knowing what else to say. "So do you want to come sit lunch with me today". She said "Sure"
I had all my classes and now it was time for lunch. I was excited to go sit with my new friend. I went in the lunch room and I found Nia sitting in a small round table at the corner of the lunch room. I sat down and ate my food that consisted of jollof rice. Nia starts talking about things that goes around the school and I listen then all of sudden she stops talking and stares at something behind me. "He's staring at you" Nia says "Who" I asked confused "Ryan Payton" she responded I was still confused on who she was talking about so I turned around and saw a tall boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was quite handsome I thought.
