1 I feel out of place.

On getting to the school premises,everywhere seemed strange and I got no attention as i used to get when i was in my father's house.Everything seemed awkward and no one wanted to know who I was or where I was going.Everyone focused on their own paths and I felt abandoned instantly. Back at my place all attention was fixed on me and I thought it would be the same here.Though I wouldn't like my identity to be known,I'd like to live a normal life like everyone else but everything seems so awkward at the moment.

Hello young man can I speak with you?I tried to talk to the young boy who looked so handsome that one would whether whether he was from the sea,He looked at me like I was a crazy person and he continued with his journey. I felt so bad because of the way he ignored me and I didn't expect that kind of treatment. This is the direct opposite of the treatment I get in my father's house.I feel like rushing him and removing one of his teeth but I couldn't. As far as everyone here is concerned,I have no power over anyone and that is it.

Hello young man,you looked confused ,can I help you with something?

I turned and saw a beautiful lady standing right before me with her eyes sparkling with light,her face beaming with smiles and she looked so innocent and beautiful.

I'm Zoddie and you?

I'm Betty ,she answered.Thats a beautiful name you have there and it suits you perfectly. Thank you for being so wonderful and for reaching out to me,the truth is that I really need help with adapting to this place,I just arrived and I would like you to help me get to the place where I would be registered or at least direct me to the place if you would.I don't know anyone here and I don't know how to find my way around.

Well I'm not so grounded in this school yet but I guess I'm better than you,I'm also new to this school but at least I'm through with my registration and I've started receiving lessons.

Let me do you the favour of taking you to the place where you will be registered.So just follow me and I'll show you the place if you don't mind.

Thank you so much young lady,I really appreciate the good work,I guess everyone here Is not as wicked as I thought because almost everyone I stopped here to ask for directions didn't even look at me not to talk of listening to me.Its no nice of you to offer to help me and I really appreciate it.

Everyone here is not so bad though,its just that they like to mind their business and no one wants to get into trouble.Besides it also depends on your manner of approach .You might talk to them with authority in your tone and they'll decide to air you.And looking at you, and giving the tone in which you used to address me,I guess they got the wrong perception about you.

what do you mean by that?Young lady.Did i shout at you or did i sound rude?

You didn't sound rude though but there Is a way you talk and one would see it like you are giving them a command or something.

If you want people to listen to you or give you attention,you have to be as nice as possible to them or else you might not easily get what you want.

I don't know you though,but I'm just telling you what's best since we are talking already.

Alright then,thank you for your advice young lady,I appreciate even though it doesn't seem necessary to me,but it's fine. I've heard everything you said.

Alright then,this is the man you should meet for your registration and he will also put you through on the place where you will be staying and everything related to it.After your registration he will fill you in on everything .

Can you just follow me to meet the man?I don't want to go there alone and I will really appreciate it if you follow me to meet him.

Since you've started the good work,just finish it up already if you don't mind.

I do mind dear Zoddie,i don't know but you really sound authoritative and rude.You didn't even add the word please or something like that at least,and you don't even sound appreciative.Didn't they teach you how to talk to people?

Calm down young lady,I don't mean to sound rude but that's how I talk and I'm sorry if you don't find me nice but I don't know how else to Express myself.Just Bear with me please if you would. I'd really appreciate that.

Everything is fine though,I'm not angry with you and I don't want to have any issues with you,besides this is the first time I'm meeting you and I don't think it's cool to start having problems with you.I will grant your request or should I say command and I will follow you to meet the man..Let's go closer then.

Hello,I am new here and I got to know that you are the one in charge of registration so I'd like you to give me attention.

Young man can't you greet?I'm old enough to be your father and this isn't the nicest way to approach me.

I'm sorry,Good day sir,I'd like for you to register me.

The man looked at me in a way that shows he was very angry but it didn't move me.

Submit all you files here and wait,he said and I dropped everything on the table.Betty didn't say a word rather she just watched as everything unfolded.

We were done with the registration and I have also gotten a place to lay my head.

young lady can you please give me your number?So that I will reach out to you ..please.

I thought you wouldn't say please,she said and I laughed. Such a cute girl indeed.
