Being lucky to get into a federal school is one thing every Nigerian parent prayed for their child(ren) , and luckily for Hannah, her mother's prayers had not been in vain. Nine year old Hannah had just gotten transfer  admission to a federal school in Ogun state and her happiness knew no bounds. Although she was asked to resume a week after she got her admission letter, Hannah and get parents made sure everything was ready, as she even got extra time to celebrate her success at a well known mall with her friends.

When the day finally came for me to get to school , I  couldn't wait to finally witness and see all the things and happenings people claimed went on in the boarding house .

"Hannah Dickson "
Hearing my name through the speaker, I left the line I  was and walked into the final clearance office, and this time I  was to do it without anybody's help.

"Ma ", I replied and knocked on the door in front of her .

"Just come in fast ", the person replied with a very angry tone . Although I later got to know she was Mrs Nwanbude ,our senior boarding house mistress , and that she was always angry .

Muttering a quick prayer , I walked into the office like my life depended on it.

"Hannah , remember the child of whom you are oh, " my mum called out . Being that we were already done with the registration and all other things , my Dad had already started rushing to head back to Lagos .

"Mummy I know ma , sebi we have talked about all this at home" . Sometimes my mom can be very dramatic and all you can do is keep up with her drama .

"Dear , give this girl her money and let us go now ," My dad finally spoke "you'll just end up making my baby cry " .
Coming out of the car , my Dada came towards me and hugged me before starting his own part of the tale .
"Just make sure you read ehn , your best is all we need . No boyfriend oh because ...

"Boys and books don't relate" , I completed the  statement as it was a regular thing we heard at home everyday .
  After that they both said a few prayer with me before my two stubborn siblings who were twins ,  Hadassah and Henry finally decided to come outside .
"You know I've been here before , so it's not that hard ", Hadassah spoke up . Being my elder sister was so much fun as she and Henry were already in 200 level at Babcock and Covenant  university respectively .

My big brother , Henry just blew my arm and winked at me before handing me 3000 . His big boy seff ehn .

Finally going back into the car , My dad called me to his window side and handed me 5000 naira extra ."Give 1000 naira to your guardian oh " , he said before winding up the car glass and they zoomed off .
I waved at them till I couldn't see the car in sight anymore . After which I bursted into hot tears  and walked to the hostel .

"Hey , I heard there's a new girl in our room oh " I heard a voice say from outside

"I pray she's Shalom's bunkmate oh be cause I hate new girls "another voice again

There was no prep today because of we the new intakes . But deep inside I wished there was , so I could have more time to myself .

  Drifting out of my thoughts , I heard the room door open. Ignoring the set of girls who walked in I faced my bed and started laying it with my blanket . Seemed like they also ignored me too ...

In about two minutes the whole room was full , and quite noisy as everybody wanted to see the new jss2 girl .Obviously it was me , but funny enough nobody had gathered up courage to talk to me .

"Oya oh I will go ", I suddenly heard from the door side of the room , which was like four bunks away . The girl who I later got to know was Dara , a jss3 girl who was my senior
"New girl ," the voice shouted again "what class are you "

"My name is not new girl oh ," I replied and hissed . That was when it all started . People started shouting , laughing , going out to call other room girls , and also insulting Dara for talking to me . Climbing my bed , as I was up bunk , I just sat and stared at all of them before I brought out my novels and started reading them . Just then I saw someone climb up my bed. Before I could even say anything she spoke up "Hi I'm Mary Ann , Heard your name is Hannah . Nice to meet you ".
Smiling back at her , I shook her already outstretched hand ." You have such soft palm," she continued "your bunkmate is in the school dispensary , and before I forget I'm also in Jss2 D , I read it on your locker ." Collecting one of my novels , Mary Ann acted like she had known me all her life , as she even balanced well and laid down on my bed  . The room was still noisy , and to be honest I've never heard so much noise. And then I started crying again .

I'm so sorry that this chapter is so short . You'll get a long one next .
Anyway how do you feel about Hannah and her reaction towards Dara ...
Its probably because she's nervous tho .
I'm so happy writing this .
