COMING FROM AFRICA [Completed]

UH OHHH!!!!

"We have only one hour to talk to Mandy. It should be around seven in Nigeria by now." I'm tired of even explaining how my day has been going. It's all the same... boring. It is only Mrs. Schmuck's I enjoy. It's lunchtime now and we are going to video call Mandy.
"So this Mandy... how is she?" Lee asked.
"Well she is very funny and crazy. Y'all will love her. Shhhh! It's ringing." We waited till Mandy picked the call and I shouted.
"Bish!!! What's up na?!" I shouted, but not loud enough to put us in trouble.
"IJ! I've missed you oo! How you doing?" She asked.
"Chale I'm good. School has been hectic."
"Cough cough—" I turned to look at Lee.
"Oh I'm sorry. I think I'm coming down with something. I think it's called The Ignored Virus." He said to me, giving me the stink eye and I grinned sheepishly when I realized what he was talking about.
"Oh I didn't see you there... my name is Lee and this is Maureen. We are her only friends here but she totally forgot to introduce us. I think when you come around, she forgets us." Lee pouted dramatically which made Maureen and Mandy laugh. I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue at him. Have I already mentioned that Lee is a drama queen? No? Well you see it for yourself.
"Hi I'm ChiAmanda but you can call me Mandy."
"I'll call you Ama. It makes me different." Lee stated proudly.
"Ama is actually the name given to a female Saturday born in Ghana." Maureen said all of a sudden.
"Well that's just perfect because I was born on Saturday." I really loved the fact that all my friends are getting along.
"Hey Tina! You didn't tell me that your friend is so pretty. Sweetheart, if I you weren't in the other side of the world I'd totally do you." Lee said and winked at Mandy. I raised my hand to smack him but Maureen stopped me.
"Let me handle this." She said and slapped him upside down the head.
"Owieeeeeee! What was that for?!" He complained while rubbing the back of his head.
"Thank you Maureen. If I were in front of him eh, he would have smelt pepper." I trust Mandy to have smacked him back into yesterday.
We spent our one hour lunch break eating and chatting with Mandy. It was so sad when the bell rang and we had to say goodbye.

I haven't had any class with Tiffany today. The classes I had with Colum were peaceful. He didn't ask me stupid questions or send me random notes. All he did was glare a humongous hole at the back of my head. I didn't care. When I felt him kick my chair I, turned and gave him the finger.
It's the last period and I have Physical Ed. Guess who is in my class! If you guessed Tiffany, then your are officially the newest Albert Einstein. Ting ting ting. Congratulations!
I'm not scared of her. In fact, I'm ready to face her. Besides, I have Maureen and Lee in the same Physical Ed. class with me so I'm good to go.

*********

I'm in the locker room changing into my ridiculously short PE kit. I told the school receptionist to change it but she said—and I quote—'I don't have a skirt that can over all that ass and hips darling. You can't cover all that sexy body.' If I could blush, I would have been fifty shades of red by the time I came out of her office. I shiver ran down my spine when I recalled the office incident.
"The fudge! You aren't listening to me." Maureen shouted in my ear and I stumbled back, almost falling down.
"Wetin dey do you? You don craze?" I whisper-yelled at Maureen, reverting to pidgin.
"Sorry. I was saying something but you zoned out." She was smiling very awkwardly. She looked guilty.
"What were you saying?"
"Never mind. Let's go." We went to the field and Maureen was totally rocking her PE kit while I looked like a prostitute or something.
"Alright listen up. After the laps, we are playing dodgeball. Everyone get in your lane." The coach commanded. That man scares me. I got into a lane with Lee and Maureen but before anyone could speak, the couch blew his whistle—the sign that we have to run.
Ten minutes and an over panting Lee later, we finally stopped.
"*panting*—I—swear—*panting*—this coach is—out to get me. Pass me—*panting*the water bottle."
"Geez Lee! We didn't run that long."
"Yeah! It was only ten minutes. Such a dramatic boy!" Maureen added.
"ONLY TEN MINUTES!!! How is ten freaking minutes only? I feel like I've lost a thousand pounds. Owww my sides hurt."
"Well I ran for cross country back in my school so I'm used to running for a long while." I shrugged.
"I used to run long distance for a while so I can also manage." Maureen shrugged as well. Lee just twitched his eye and gave us the don't-let-me-get-up-from-bench-and-hit-you-senseless look. It was not a pretty sight. We got distracted when the coach called all of us to the middle of the gym.
"From the new girl to the red head, form one straight line. The rest of you, form a line in front of them." He pointed from me to a red head guy at my far end to form one line and we did as he said. I looked in front of me and saw a smirking Tiffany. Stephanie and Amber were standing in front of Maureen and Lee.
I knew I was missing a witch in my life today. Oya let the dancing begin!!!
"The person standing in front of you is your dodgeball partner. Tiffany! New Kid! Get ready to play ball." He handed the balls to Tiffany and she went farther away from me.
Tiffany—holding a ball—standing in front of the person she hates most in this school—getting ready to aim for her face—NEVER A GOOD IDEA!!!
I saw her smirking when she saw my slightly panicked face. The coach blew his whistle and I saw Tiffany get ready to throw the ball that I'm sure she has intentionally aimed at my face.
UH OHHHH!!!!
