"Jessie... Jessie?? Wake up, it's time to go to college! " yelled mum from my door.
I reluctantly woke up,it was a good night coupled with sweet dream. As I looked out of the window I could see the sun raising up and the sun rays partially touching my windows and the tree tops and the birds performing their morning songs. As I woke up and went down the kitchen my mum has already prepared my breakfast.
"Your breakfast is ready" "check your books and your uniforms,dont miss anything" mum reminded me.
"I get it mum,i've packed them in advance"i replied. "where's dad? "I asked because it was unusual for my dad to not be present on breakfast.
"he got a call from one of his friend,saying that they secured a job in the new construction site,so he rushed there " replied mum.
"ohh... What plans do you have today mum? "
"well, do some gardening,i still got some left over seeds so I intend to plant them. "
After my breakfast I started dressing up for my college
"mum, I'm going now see you" i waved at my mum.
"Bye Jess take care" mum shouted back.
As I reached the college gate I could see the huge board written with bold letters " WELCOM TO RIVERBELT COLLEGE, CENTRAL TOWN.
I got nervous but I calm down as I said to myself Jess let's hope my first day of college turns out to my expectation.
As I crossed the college gate and walked further into the compound I notice the college was so big for me. There are lot of trees,car parks, canteen and there were lots of students in twos in threes and some in groups engaging in their own conversation. I walked into the college building but suddenly it struck me that I don't know the location of my class!
"excuse me senior" I called out to on of the student walking towards my direction.
"what is it? "asked the student indifferently.
'did we met before and have tough fight? Why is he so rude? Or is he like this to anyone?i wondered in my mind'
"ummm...senior may I know where is the class room for freshers located? " I asked.
"walk straight ahead from here then turn left and the second door you see is the freshers class"said the student.
"thank you senior " I hurriedly ran towards the direction pointed by the student as I saw that the time for first class is catching up. I reached the door and I was completely nervous and my palms are covered with sweat. I slowly walked closer and push the door and walked in,i could hear my heart my heat beating violently and I realised the classroom was deadly silent. I notice everyone was looking at me and I felt uncomfortable and weird, for a moment I had the impulse to run out of the class as I wondered if I happened to enter the wrong class. If i happen to be in the wrong class than the boy who pointed me the direction,i swear I will screw him.
"hello there.... are you Jessie Coleman? " the silence atmosphere was torn by the lady standing before me who seemed to be in her 30's and I guessed it's the teacher for First Class.
"umm... Ye..yes.. Madam I'm Jessie coleman"still nervous.
"There....i am still unmarried so address me miss Mac Kinley." the teacher said stearing at me as if telling me I did something so wrong.
"sor...Sorry miss Mac Kinley I dint know of it. " I replied feeling wronged.
"well it often happens "
"now Jessie introduced yourself to the class" said miss Mac kinley.
"hel... Hello...everyone.. My name is Jessie Coleman and I.. I'll be in your care.. Thank you " I got so damn nervous that hardly any words came to my mind even for introduction.
"well off you go and take your seat" urge miss Mac kinley.
As I looked around there was an empty seat next to the window in the last second row. I walked down and sat there taking out my books.
The first class was about the origin of political theory.
And like that much of the class was over and I gotta admit it was damn boring.
Finally came the tie for lunch break which many student look forward to.
I went into the dining hall, took my plate and sat down alone in one of the empty table. But soon some girls came and sat down with me.
"hey fatty girl! Hey to fatty girl... Ha..ha... You shouldn't take a lunch break instead you should go in a diet and slim that big body and ass ..hah... Hah.." yelled one of the student approaching our table with his friends holding their plates. I notice they are senior students,as every student get a badge that distinguish the different classes. Though I felt that it was unnecessary to implement such thing.
I realised that they are making fun of me or my figure to be exact. But I can't deny the fact that I'm fat though not excessively fat like having 80's to 100's KGs I feel.
But I felt humiliated and insulted being yelled at and making fun of me in front of so many students.
"Draco it's non of your business to point at others... " defended one of the girl sitting next to me.
I don't know her or why she is defending me but she is quite pretty,with an exquisite face and she got a beautiful jade black silky hair. She is lovely, if I were a boy I would want her to be my girlfriend.
"ohh... Look who is this... Its goddess Cindy" "goddess Cindy it's just a joke but it's also non of your business to interfere me too." replied Draco while taking a seat opposite to our table in the left.
So the name of the boy who laugh at my body is Draco senior final year.and the girl who defended me is Cindy? Goddess Cindy one of the most beautiful campus balle.
"umm.. Don... Don't mind him,he is like that and they always go and bully the freshers and Evan juniors,they are simply a waste a trynabe gangsta ..humph! " Cindy looked at me and comforted me. But deep down I know I felt so humiliated that someone called me a fat girl in front of so many students and in turn the students are looking at me tryna analyse if what Draco said was true?? Seizing me up and down looking at me like I'm some godamm alien.
The guy Draco was laughing and cracking jokes with his friend while he would look at me from time to time as if he means something bad.
"hello... nice to meet you I'm Cindy, second year junior."the girl said.
Its the girl who stood up for me earlier.
"hel..hello Cindy nice to meet you too. I'm Jessie a fresher and thanks for defending me earlier."I replied somewhat flustered .
Dammit am I falling for a girl? I'm a girl too! But she is really attractive...wait what if she is a lesbian?? Then I could do... Oh my God Jessie what are you even thinking!
"it was nothing...as I said they are nothing but some annoying and spoiled students." replied Cindy appearing to not care so much about the incident.
"I don't think your that fat though. I've seen a lot of people fatter than you and you look rather chubby and cute."giggle Cindy starring at me as we walked back to our own class.
"well Jessie.. see you I gotta go to my class" said come as she marched towards her class.
"emm...see you too cindy" I replied.
After Cindy went to her class I thought of what she said to me. Though I don't know if I should believe her that I'm not fat but looked rather cute. And I gotta admit that being fat I really don't think it's normal for girls but Am I really cute?
It was the first day of college for freshers therefore not many freshers were willing to strick up a conversation with a stranger they met for the first time and so everyone seemed distant. After the class I went home.
"mum??mum I'm home" I shouted looking for my mother if she is still gardening.
"Jess your home?"asked mum.
"yes ma.."
"how was your first day at college?"asked mum.
"uhhh...not that bad though I haven't made that much friend and the classes are boring." I replied as I walk up to my room.
"oh.. Jess... Nothing seems to interest you in this world. "mum replied laughing.
In the evening dad came home with some chicken and vegetaI love Chinese hotpot and always wanted to try it out so I took the initiative to help my mum in the kitchen and make hotpot for dinner. I put the hotpot in the Middle of the dinning table and kept putting vegetables,finally my dream of making a hotpot has come true. "how was the day?" asked my mum to dad. "its just another usual day but this time the company has promised to pay the bills on time." replied dad.
"thats good"said
mum. "they give promise everytime but in the end they failed to fullfilled it,why are they so corrupted?" i grumbled as i started losing hope in the construction company as they always failed to pay their workers. after our dinner we went back to our own room preparing to rest the night. But as i lie down all that comes to my mind was the words 'fatty girl' said by Draco, though i have been called fatty a few times by others but Draco making fun of so many students make me felt ashamed and insulted. so what i could do now was to really do some gym work out and try to slim this fat body down. sigh....i guess what Draco said was riggt i truly am too fat and needs to go on a diet. with that the day came to an end.
