"Mina get up you can't be late again!"
The Curtains opened and I hissed in pain as the sun made it's to my eyes "ummi(mom) that was not necessary"I pulled my blanket off and made my way to my drawer "okay you have 10 minuets I'll wake up Abi(dad) and make breakfast"
Ten minutes that would be enough I grabbed my towel and stepped into my bathroom staring at my brownish tan skin in the reflection of the mirror. My hair is growing out again, but that's not what's frightening me so much. The scar on my left side of my forehead. I look away and try not to remember the reason for moving here.
,I sharp pain hits the pit of my stomach "Calm down, your safe now" I try convincing myself. I brush my teeth, change and make my way downstairs.
......As I make my way up the stairs of my new school and work out of the cold air, I look at my schedule one last time memorizing it. "English first period" The hallways are empty and the quietness soothes me. I am already late. I rush down the hallway and Make a turn
"Ouch" I look up to see the cutest person ever "Aw, sweetie I am so sorry here" the old lady extends her small hands and helps me up "No problem it was actually my fault for rushing I am kind of late" I say dusting my skirt. "I haven't seen you around here before what's your name" "Mina my name is Mina and I am new"
I extend my had toward her but she looked dazed as she is staring at my hijab( head covering) of course I thought to my self as I was about to turn around and walk away
"I am sorry sweetie I just spaced out there for a second that scarf is just so stunning on you, I wish I could pull that thing of" I faced her again a warm beautiful smile spreading on her face "my name is lesa sweet heart and it's very nice to meet you.
Now you get goin don't let an old lunch lady interrupt your learning" I smiled back at her "Thank you I hope to see you later" I say making my way around her "goodbye" she shouts waving her had.
"Two weeks here Mina and you have made two friends great" I quietly whisper to my self.
.............
I sigh opening the door to my class. "And so class the very essence of the American Dream is t... Mina find a seat now please and talk to me after class" well that was uneasy
"Of course Mr.Dan" I say he starts his topic again. I look around an make my way towards the back of the class since the ones in the front were all taken up.
I sit down and I can feel heat starting to build up as all stares were headed in my direction uncomfort does not even describe the state I am in right now.
