I woke up early at 4 a.m., took a bath, picked up some stuff, and then went downstairs to have breakfast. I saw my Mom in the kitchen ,she was preparing my lunch for school then I walked up to her and gave her a peck on her cheeks. I had a flashback of my thoughts last night , it was the first time of me being nervous .
" Stop being nervous darling it your first day I understand it can get sticky sometimes " my mom said. Sometimes I wonder how my Mom knows what am always thinking about but I believe it might be mom's and daughters bond's. I grabbed my lunch and went out to the house, it was alittle bit windy so I put on my jacket then I hailed a taxi.
When I arrived at school, the atmosphere changed, and I started feeling butterflies in my stomach. The woman I and my mom saw last time approached to me with a smile. "You must me Emily Carter and my name is Miss Lola , welcome to Lincoln high school"she said with a smile on her face.
The first time I saw miss Lola I knew she was a kind and caring woman.She escorted me to my class, and everyone stared at me as if I were out of place.
I got nervous again but miss Lola held my hands then she introduced me to them. I could not look around because I felt like they were still staring at me.
Everyone I heard we have a new student in this class please welcome her nicely". I raised my head to see who was that, it was a woman who looks like she was in her fifties, she had a gray hair and wore a knitted sweater. I was interrupted by a girl who sat down next to me , she was dark in complexion,she had one amazing scent which scented like strawberry, she had a wave hair which made her more beautiful.
" You must be wondering who that old woman iright " she remark with a smile on her face . I felt compelled to speak but I was completely absorbed, captivated by her beauty, she noticed I was staring at her then the clapped her hands which got my attention back.
"Mrs Meyer's is the oldest teacher in Lincoln high school and she teaches us biology and no one dares to joke around with her, my name is Mira I'm the class content creator and you must be?" Emily Carter I said with a smile on my face.I had the feeling that I'm going to become good friends with her. Mira told me a lot about the school and shared some of the names of students in our class.

Time moved really fast and it was lunch time, I and Mira went to the cafeteria to get something to eat because i wantedto try something new, we sat down together, Mira told alot about the food they sold in the cafeteria. Some students caught our attention , they were screaming like they had see the devil himself.
" Am not surprised at all , Mira said with a distinguishing look on her face". I got confused at that moment and Mira noticed how lost I was so she decided to tell me who those boys were.
" That is FBL team which stand for famous basketball team of Lincoln high school , the tall guy with a curly hair is Jasper, the guy with glasses is Larry then the devil himself is Andrew " she said. I really don't know why Mira hated them so much so I didn't bother to ask her, she also said that they were the top student in grade 11. I just stared at Andrew and was also trying to figure out why Mira called him a devil.
Andrew felt my eyes on him, so he walked to where I was sitting, I felt my heart pounding, expecting Mira to lash out given her strong aversion to him. I felt i have brought up a fight and I wished I didn't stare at him.
" Hello laddies Andrew said in a teasing tone, Mira's action surprised me , she didn't even bother to reply him, I tried to catch her eyes but she looked away. Then Mira got up and walked out leaving me in Andrews company, I stood up to follow Mira leaving Alex alone.

Since the incident that happened lately Mira had been given me the silent treatment , I didn't know what I did wrong so I decided to ask her but she remained silent. As the school day drew to a close, Mira approached to me and suggested she was going to walk me home , as we walked home I summoned the courage to ask her the reason behind her anger earlier.
" Emily am sorry for my behavior lately, you didn't deserve it and my anger was misdirected, am actually upset with Andrew and not you". Despite her apologies I felt responsible for the situation,soon we arrived at my house , she turned to head back home.
As I walked into the house, my mom noticed I had been talking with someone outside.
I see you made a new friend, I told you everything was going to be fine "she said. Despite all the challenges my Mom always ensure me that everything is going to be fine. I gave my mom a hug and a smile , then I walked upstairs to get my self ready for dinner.
