"Mia come out already" that was my mum and I'm already late for school.
" come out princess, u don't want to be late on ur first day of school" my dad added.
I got down from my bed , showered and brought out my clothes.
I was going to wear my black trouser and my coloured sweater.
It was actually my first day in school here since we moved from my former neighborhood in Italy.
My dad was transferred here so we had no choice but to move since it included more pay.
I didn't want to leave my friends or school behind but I didn't want my selfish reason to hinder the families happiness especially when Mum loved the idea.
I wore my sneakers and carried my bag downstairs.
" bye mom, bye dad"
"Aren't you gonna have breakfast sweetie " my mum asked.
" no mom,I'm late for school"
" have an apple princess, remember the saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away" he said laughing while flipping the pages of his news paper.
" ok Dad " I said picking an apple and adjusting my glasses
" bye again mum and dad" I said climbing on my bicycle
" bye Mia"
*****
I rode my bike as I headed to school, thanks to mum ,I already knew the Address by heart.
I got down from my bike and headed to the deans office cause I needed to get my schedule.
" hey, excuse me" I called at a weird looking boy standing behind his locker.
" hey", he said poking his nose, while rubbing the stuff on his black shirt.
Yuck. I guess nobody told him that stuff was disgusting.
He saw me make a disgusted face and stopped.
" uhmm, how may I help you?" he stammered.
" I'm looking for the dean's office,I'mnew here" I said.
" A new girl? Why are you joining us Mid semester?"
" see , my parents just moved here and I need to attend school"
" oh,that's nice. Uhmm, her office is just over there, welcome again Miss"
" Thanks, the name is Mia"
"It's a pleasure meeting you Mia,I'm Austin. Welcome to my school "
" Thanks Austin, see you around"
He gave me a thumbs up and left,I headed for the dean's office. If everyone wound be this nice then the school wouldn't be bad I thought.
****
I got to her office and I'll be lying if I said the place wasn't nice,I wondered how they funded the school.
" Good morning Miss Roderique" she greeted.
I wondered how she knew my name until I saw my file on her table.
" Good morning Maa'm"
" just call me Mrs. Julian." She said with a smile
" you know you really have a lot to catch up with considering the fact that you you joined us Mid semester"
"Yes Mrs. Julian" I answered.
" your schedule has already been arranged, four core courses, English and Literature and Any other sport. Not to forget your music class"
"Thank you Maa'm" I collected the schedule and left.
*******
I got to class and found everyone already seated and an elderly man was taking them literature.
" Good morning,sir" I greeted.
" Good morning New girl,I got a call from the Dean that you were coming"
" ok sir"
" Have a seat " he directed me to sit behind a blonde girl.
"Thank you sir"
I got to the sit but the girl didn't look like someone who wanted me to sit there.
" Four eyes I think you should get another sit, this one is reserved for my boyfriend"she said chewing her gum like a runaway lunatic.
" uhmm.... The teacher asked me to sit here and besides I don't see your boyfriend around here" I answered her mentally exhausted from her tantrum.
"Hey, You can sit down here" a dark girl said. I smiled at her and took the sit she was offering.
" I'm Aria, you might be wondering why I'm darker,I'm actually from Africa, south Africa to be precise. Uhmmm... This is my friend Austin" she pointed at the boy smiling beside her.
I remembered him from earlier Today.
" we meet again " he said smiling.
" yeah,I'm Mia by the way,I'm from Italy".
The lecture continued till we were distracted by a loud opening of the door.
" Mr Cruz you're disturbing my class, and why are you this late to my class" the teacher asked angrily.
"Sorry Mr Andrew my watch was five minutes late and I had practice. It won't happen again" he said in a nonchalant way.
The class burst out laughing. He went to the seat the blonde girl refused me sitting earlier , so he's probably her boyfriend.
" He's Jordan Cruz, The school basketball Captain and Daisy's boyfriend" Aria said like she was reading my thought.
" Try staying off his path,he's a mean bully" Austin added closing the book he was writing on.
Just then he turned and stared at me for the longest time then turned and whispered to Daisy.
" so we have a new student, how come she wasn't introduced to me" he said shooting dagger stares.
" you would known if you had set your time well Mr Cruz" the teacher said and the class burst out laughing.
I laughed and Daisy shot me a glare.
" Hey four eyes, welcome" he said smirking.
" It's Mia" I corrected him.
" I'll call you whatever I want to, Four eyes" he said.
I just turned away ,I obviously had no time to exchange words with someone as rude as him.
Just then I felt something hit my head,I looked at the floor, it was a piece of paper rolled into a ball.
I opened it and saw a ugly painting of what looked like a girl with glasses on.
I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me it was Jordan.
I hated him already.
