Beep

Beep

Beep

I woke up at the third beep of my digital clock.

I reached out my hand tiredly to grab my phone from the nightstand, turned my phone on and was greeted by the insane brightness of the screen.

Fuck! I exclaimed.

After making sure my eyes were clear enough I proceeded in tuning the brightness to a much suitable level and checked the time.

5:30am

I groaned out.
So this is how it will be from now on, waking up very early in the morning to go to school.

Nawa oh! I exclaimed

Removing the covers off my body and standing up from bed I moved directly to the bathroom. I picked up my brush and applied some toothpaste and started brushing my teeth making sure every corner I placed the brush in my mouth wipes off the dirt particles making my teeth pearly white.

When I was done I stripped my pajamas off my body and threw them in my basket for dirty clothes.

Entering the shower I allowed droplets of water touch every ounce of skin before I proceeded to apply the soap to my body.
I used the sponge to scrub my body till satisfaction and I got of the shower and grabbed my towel from the railings and used it to dry my skin of the contents of water.

After that I put on my well ironed uniform which consists of a white long sleeved collar shirt and a beige checkered skirt that stops just by my mid thigh coupled with knee length socks and some black shoes with a maroon colored tie with the schools logo on it and completed the uniform with a maroon coloured blazer. Done with the dressing aspect I went ahead to style my hair, I packed my long hair into a bun which was easy since my hair is natural and went ahead to lay my edges to perfection and added some butterfly clips making it look aesthetic.

Getting to my dresser I picked up my lipgloss and applied it on my lips smacking my lips and coupling my outfit with some heart shaped stud earrings.

Satisfied with my appearance I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs to the dining only to find mum in the kitchen preparing some of her gross herbal tea.

African mothers sef

The dining was a rather exquisite sight, it was spacious and homely with white chairs and a transparent glass table at the middle with flowers and table mats placed at the centre of the table.

"Good morning mum" I greeted as I took my seat one of the chairs in the dining.

"Morning sweetheart how was your night" She beamed at me as she placed my breakfast on the table, the enticing smell of fried eggs, toast and sausages filled my nose at that moment.

I took a bite of the toast and the bread and I hummed in delight at how good it tasted.

"My night was splendid mum" I said taking another bite of the egg and sausage.

"I hope your ready for school today" She asked fixing her gaze intently on me.

Now that I think about it I'm really sure if I'm ready or nervous cause I feel none of those things. I feel rather unbothered cause I know I'm gonna stay away from people and do my own thing.

"I hope your not thinking of going there only to distance yourself from other people oh" My mum exclaimed.

"Mum-"

"You will not get old before me in Jesus name" My mother said totally cutting me off.

Trust my mum to be always dramatic

"Mummy I'm not getting old na" I whined taking the last bite of my food already getting tired of this conversation.

"If you say so oh" She said picking up the car keys to her Lexus. "Lets get going you don't want to be late for your first day." She said making her way to the entrance of the living room and me trailing behind her.

Kenward International High School (KIHS)

Was boldly imprinted on the signboard as I looked through the tinted window of the car feeling my hands getting sweaty and sweat dripping from my forehead even when the cars are air conditioned.

"Are you okay baby you look nervous" My mum asked beside me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I replied even though I know I'm not okay and nervous as hell.

"Okay Sonia have a great day at school and make new friends" She said as I got down from the car. I watched as she reversed and drove out of the school compound.

Leaving me to face this nightmare

After much thoughts of how my first day will I made my way to the administrative block where I was supposed to meet the principle.

I made my way to there and saw a woman filing her nails and chewing gum like an ashawo. I made my way to call her but I decided against it cause the probability of her hearing will be zero since there was a earpiece connected to both sides of her ear.

God abeg

"Mrs Lilian!" A very commanding and no nonsense feminine voice called from the distance that can send chills to someone's spine.

At that moment the lady jumped up from the seat with a speed which startled me and removed the gum from her mouth sticking it under her table and adjusting her dress. At that moment a woman with a huge frame opened the door and looked at the lady standing there with fury in her eyes.

"Mrs Lilian" The woman called in an angry voice.

"Ye-s ma" The lady giving ashawo vibes stuttered still adjusting her navy blue top and a skimpy and short office skirt.

"Where were you when I was calling you all these while to call the new student in?" The lady asked sparing a glance at my direction before looking back at the lady who looked shaken and confused as hell.

"New..." She trailed off and looked at my direction shock evident on her face.
"Ma I didn't know someone was here in the first place oh."

"Why won't you know when you were busy slacking on the job." She eyed her and hissed disdainfully before looking at me with a smile on her lips.

"Why don't you come to my office dear" She said the smile still evident on her face as I trailed behind her.

I was welcomed with the smell of lavender and the sudden coldness from the air conditioner.

Her office was as every principal's office should be with bookshelves on the right with various books, a photocopying machine, a poster of the Nigerian map and also a posters of some Nigerian leaders and some motivational quotes about learning posted on my left and there was tag on her table that displayed her name Mrs Chinanza EbubeChukwu.

"Have a seat Sonia" She said gesturing for me to sit down.

"So you already have your notebooks and textbooks and the required timetable?" She asked.

"Yes I do ma" I replied to her.

"Okay here is the school rules and regulations manual I'll be calling someone to direct you to your class" She said handing me the manual before calling someone on the telephone.

"Excuse me please can I have Miss Zainab in my office now" She said through the phone and nodded her head as she placed the phone in its original position.

"She'll be here in a minute" She told me before flashing me a smile.

A knock suddenly came from the door.

"Come in"

A girl with pretty melanin skin who looked my age came in and smiled when she saw me and I didn't know what to do so I just faced the other side completely ignoring her. And I knew her first instinct of me was going to be to be snobbish but I really don't care.

"Good morning ma" She greeted still looking at me.

"Yes" She replied "This is Sonia a new student please take her to SS3 arts class."

"Okay ma." She replied gesturing for me to follow her.

I got up and followed her to the direction she was going to. Not gonna lie the inside of the school was beautiful with posters of different kinds and flowers decorating its entrance. She stopped when we got to the staircase and I stopped too, only for her to continue.

"Hi my name is Zainab I'm the head girl of this KIHS" She told me wanting to start up a conversation.

And I ignored her.

"Whats your name?" I slightly raised my left eyebrow, because the principle just introduced her to me so there was no need for her to ask me that knowingly question. I just decided to reply anyways.

"I believe the principal already introduced you so there's no need answering that." I said not wanting to sound rude.

"You don't look like someone who likes talking people." She said again and I almost hissed.

Keyword almost

Of course I don't like talking to people, especially people my age.

"We are here" She said and I looked up to see we were standing right in front of a door that said SS3 arts.

She opened the door and I felt the air in my lungs knock out, eyes were on me and I began getting sweaty.

ITS TIME FOR ASSEMBLY EVERYBODY!

A male voice boomed and I almost staggered back cause of the intensity of his voice.

A light skinned boy made his way to the class and everyone started jumping out from their seats and leaving the class.

"Abeg oo shift let me go before he'll give us the insulting of our lives."

"This guy should try and rest na."

"I don't even know why our mumu classmates are even scared of the guy sef someone that is our age mate."

"Fatimah come lets go abeg I no want trouble."

Those were words that each student leaving murmured while leaving the classroom until the class became empty and the guy who gave the order came out before noticing our presence and stopped on his tracks in front of us.
He looked at me for a while before shifting his gaze to Zainab. While she looked at him with an impassive expression on her face.

"You know assembly started three minutes ago right?" He asked her looking at his expensive wristwatch.

"Yeah I know" She replied him a nonchalant expression on her face.

He scoffed and looked at her an expression on his face I couldn't decipher.

"You were supposed to be in the hall coordinating them especially the junior students." He said a frustrated look on his face. "You were suppose to cover for the chapel prefect since he won't be back till Wednesday."

I heaved another sigh

"That's why people never take you seriously." He said in an almost mocking tone.

"You know what?" She snapped and the girl who was all smiles with me disappeared and something else appeared.

"I just wonder how someone all brainy and smart like you can still be so stupid." She said with a fit of rage in her tone.

"For your information I was on my way to the Assembly before I got a call from Mrs Chinanza to direct a new student to her class, so next time try to find out whats up before you start saying rubbish" She spat out and hissed.

Regret filled his eyes that moment.

"I'm so-"

"Abeg shift." She said completely cutting him off.

"Come lets go." She said too me while I was still dumbfounded by the whole situation.

I made my way into the classroom which was more beautiful. The walls were painted red and a type of creamy white with some poster that said welcome to SS3 art and two chairs and a table joined together for each person.

"Sorry about the commotion down there, that's just Victor the head boy." She told me.

I only nodded to that cause I didn't know what to say.

"You can sit on my chair and wait for the class teacher to come since assembly ends soon."

I muttered an okay before she left.

The bell rang in less than five minutes and students came trooping in talking in various groups, and I started getting nervous. I looked up only to see eyes on me.

"Who is this one?"

"Why are they bringing new students in our final year."

"KIHS has never had a new student come to SS3."

"She is pretty though."

"She's sexy as fuck."

"I must tap this one oh."

I heard comments around all corners of the classroom and I was slightly irritated with the comment the last boy said I looked up only to see a boy looking at me with a predatory look in his eyes and I immediately looked back.

Ewwwww

I looked around only to see that he wasn't the only boy looking at me like that.

I felt slightly uncomfortable.

CLASS GREET

A feminine voice commanded and all attention on me was gone while everyone stood up to greet the elderly man I didn't know.

He looked like he was in his thirties or something.

"Good morning sir." The class said in harmony.

"Good morning students please have your sit." He said and some after Zainab joined me too and smiled at me while I ignored her.

"Someone else is sitting here so you have to find another chair" She told me and that moment a girl with a demeanour which screamed rude stood directly in front of me and eyeing me with so much disgust.

Wetin dey do this one

"And why are you on my seat" She asked still eyeing me from head too toe.

"I-

"Abeg stand up from my seat." I almost fell down at the speed she used to yank the chair from my bottom.

I stood there dumfounded

"...and we also have a new student joining us this term, please can you indicate yourself. He said which means he has been talking this whole time.

"I shyly raised my hands up indicating where I was."

"Why don't you come and introduce yourself young lady. " He said a smile playing on his lips.

I freezed for a moment before taking slow steps to the front of the class.
All attention was on me now, boys were busy ogling at me while some girls hissed.

"H-i my name is Sonia Uduak-Abasi Ubong and I'm sixteen, you don't have to welcome me cause I'm not here to make friends." I said truthfully.

"That one does not concern me sef let her just stay away from my man."

"Wahala!"

"Abeg oh who even wants to be this one friend, make she shift"

"Guy see nyash na"

"Omo if I no press this girl this term make I bend."

"Her lips are so kissable."

"That's enough!" He said in a commanding tone and everyone went silent. He turned to me that instance.

"My name is Mr Obike and I'm your form and Government teacher I'll be right here when you need anything." He said passing me a quick smile before looking around the class before he settled on a particular person.

"Flora is the seat beside you taken?" He asked a girl and I followed his gaze only to see a girl with caramel skin and box braids beaming at me.

Okay...

"No sir its not taken at all." She replied looking at me with excitement in her eyes.

"You can sit down there I have a class now." He said going to his table to carry some materials before heading out.

I made my way to sit beside the girl with so much energy in her bones. Immediately I took my sit I was bombarded with questions.

"Are you a model?"

"What skincare do you use?"

"Are you from this country?"

"Are you Ayra Starr's twin?"

"Is this your natural hair?"

She said all the questions in a go and even proceeded to touch my hair.

God abeg

I forced a smile and grabbed my schoolbag proceeding to bring out my materials.

"I know you said you're not here to make friends but you'll be my friend by fire by force." She smiled at me before bringing out some books from her locker.

This is gonna be a very long day.
