Eli woke up to the cheeping of the birds, and rays of sun falling on her face. She sluggishly got up from bed, dragged her foot to the bathroom to take a shower.
She felt tired and sleepy, she looked at the wall clock and suddenly her eyes lit up.
" it's today, oops" she quickly brushed her teeth and took a shower, " what time is it! what time is it!!" she kept mumbling.
She heard a knock at door.
" mom I'm coming, please" she said quickly picking out clothes.
" you look lovely dear" complimented Mary.

Having started schooling in a different School and with a different identity, Eli attended a local school close to their house to avoid spending much on transport.
After registration, Eli was led to her class and was introduced to the whole class.
" we have an additional number to the
class" the teacher said to the class and turned to her, " what's your name"
" Elena Ken"
" Elena, what a nice name. please sit".
" Eli here" she walked in the direction of the voice and sat down.
" thanks"
" don't have to " she said smiling, " I'm Lana"
" Elena"
".. tomorrow please come with the required equipment, and come early. Late coming will not be tolerated understood?"
" yes, sir please" the whole class echoed. ' are they begging him?' Eli mused.
Seeing the confused face of Eli, Lana smiled and explained to her, " he is called ' sir please' because he is always saying the word ' please', like ' please don't come late ' , ' please don't make me report you', and...' please do your homework' something like that" Lana said mimicking him.
" wow, that's serious" she murmured
" yeah, it is" Lana seconded.
The class went smoothly, to Eli Mr Please class was lively and heart warming, where you wouldn't want the class to end.
Her first day at school turned out to be cool and lively, Eli enjoyed each class and understood the explanation of each subject teacher that visited the class.
The bell was giggled for lunch break, Lana came to stand beside her, " lunch time!!" Lana said enthusiastically and pulled her out of the class to buy some snacks for lunch.
Eli admired Lana's beauty while the other placed her order, ' such a beauty, full pink lips, round face, wavy brown hair, she's really beautiful' she thought to herself.
" here, have some" Lana said handing her the ice cream and french fries that she bought, " thanks"
" can we be friends, I mean close friends" Lana asked expectantly.
" yeah, of course" Eli replied flashing her a sweet smile, " let's go back to class" Eli said and they walked back to class.
Time flew fast, and it was time to say goodbye and path ways, they both said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
Eli got home, did her homework and turned on the TV, she decided to wait for her mom in the living room.
Eli couldn't keep her eyes open for long as she fell asleep.
" I'm home darling" she heard her mom calling her, though it sounded distant, " wake up, mom is back" Mary called and pecked her forehead, Eli sluggishly opened her eyes, " you are back"
" yeah, how was your first day at school" Mary enquired carrying the paper bags to the kitchen.
" it was fine" Eli said as she made her way to the kitchen to help Mary, " and I also made a new friend today"
" that was fast, I didn't know you were good at making friends" Mary commented to have Eli frown, " and why are you frowning" Mary smiled at the frowning girl beside her.
" the last time I checked there was no rules in making friends that prohibits making friends at your first day at school" She said as she cleaned up the utensils that Mary used.
