It was one of the mornings' i wish would be fast forwarded😩.It was my first day in another school,a new school.It was a mixture of moods
One part of me was full of anxiety and the other with fear fear of not being able to fit in ,you know how it is.
The cool breeze from the coast brushed through my hair as i rushed downstairs to grab my pink rectangle shaped lunched bag from my mum who looked worriedly at me(she was super strict about taking snacks to school)
What's wrong pumpkin ?she asked
Mummmm I told you to stop calling me that i'm no more 5😒 I grinned
I asked you a question young lady what's wrong (looking down at my shoes)
It was then I realized I had put on my strawberry soak on my left foot and my orange lily flower soak on the my right I must have been so lost in my thoughts 🤦🏾
I let out a giggle as I hurriedly went to my drawer to get the pair of white socks mommy had kept down for me...you need to look smart on your first day in a new school she had said
It was a bright monday morning
It seemed a bit too quiet for a high school my mum and I walked hand in hand to the principal's office
I was put in the B class( I really wanted to be in the A class for no special reason)
I was directed to my class by a woman who looked like she could use a week off
I received a warm welcome by a young beautiful lady who introduced herself as Miss Naa my teacher(her looks sure made me wish i'd started my academic year there earlier)
I was sitting on the front row reading my lion king storybook I had picked it
up from Lilian's room(she's my big sis🤦🏾)
I was so engrossed in my book that I didn't notice this smallish looking girl in piggy tails talk to me until she tapped me
She helped herself to a seat close to mine I gave her rapt attention as she spoke about the school,I was intrigued I was eager to know more but just then a group of boys rudely interrupted with questions like
What's your name?where are from? How come you're so pretty lol I suddenly turned red
They spoke for a while and went to their seats
One name was spat out the mouth of many
Some group of boys rushed out to get him to meet the new girl (me)
There he was ,his hairline so cool,he was what one would call a Barbie's ken,he wore a beautiful smile which exposed his perfect set of white teeth
Hayden Joe Anderson😩❤.He was the class representative
He stared and walked away 🤷🏾
Why?didn't I look pretty in my braids?or was my smile just a little or too sneezy ?well,seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours and Hayden hadn't said a word to me not even a hello as most of the kids in class did
As school was over,he walked past me and smiled and went away
Outside the school I realized he was headed towards my route back home(I had to walk home because mum wanted me to socialize with my mates)
Me alongside 3other girls Ina,Theresa and Bella got closer to Hayden
All the other girls took different paths and waved
goodbye
Hayden had still not uttered a word he was ahead of me ,I took every turn he took suddenly he stopped and turned to look at me are you stalking me? He questioned.... I was dumbfounded
