Chapter 2

Michelle's pov

We landed in USA,New York finally after 9 hours. I hate been stagnant and not able to move so the journey was very boring to me. But I still can't stop thinking about my grandma and my friends in Nigeria especially Ayomide.

Mom and dad has taken a big decision. I have always asked for a vacation in USA and they never allowed for reasons known to them but now am finally stepping into USA. My favorite country.

We alighted from the plane and went straight into the airport. we did the needful and got into a taxi. The taxi drove me to my new school.

Yes my new school. My parents never allowed me miss a day in school so am going to be resuming now that I just landed in USA. I don't like missing school too. I love to have a perfect attendance.

The driver dropped me off at my new school entrance I took my bag and hugged my parents. my dad gave me some money for lunch and my mom squeezed some money into my hands when dad was not looking.

I walked into the school premises and the other students were looking at me weirdly. "Maybe because I was not on uniform" I said to myself.

Their skin colour was way different from mine even their hair. They have very white skin while I was brown. I haven't spot a black or brown person like me. They kept looking at me and continued murmuring until I bumped into a girl.

The other students turned towards us.

"omg! Am so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you" I apologized.

"Sorry, you think sorry fixes everything. if it does then we wouldn't have laws in the country.

"I apologized already,what else do you want?"

"What else do I want? What else do I want? Do you know who I am?" she asked.

It was then I noticed that the whole students staring at us and there was two girls behind her.

"Was she in a gang? is she a bully? I don't want to get into trouble in my first day" I said to myself.

"Am sorry" I apologized again hoping it will solve the problem.

"Stop telling me sorry" She yelled at she landed a slap on my face. I wanted to slap her back but someone held my hand.

I heard a person whisper "Don't".

The girl and her so called gang or friends walked away and the students who were looking at us left too.

"Why didn't you let me hit her?" I asked the girl who had stopped me from hitting the girl I bumped into.

"Do you know who she is? she is from a very influential family You would have gotten yourself into trouble if you had slapped her back. Her name is Daniella and those girls with her are her friends. They are also from influential families and they move together. They are the queens of our school". She explained.

"Whatever, even if her parents is the president I don't care. you should have let me teach her a lesson."

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked her.

"My name is Kate and you" she said.

"My name is Michelle".I told her.

"it's nice meeting you" she said.

"Same here" I said back.

"Can you please take me to the principal office?" I asked her.

"Sure."she said.

We both walked down the school lobby leading to the principal's office. I knocked,went in,got my uniform, school map and extra curricular activities and left.

Kate took me to the changing room and I changed into my new school uniform and came out.

The school bell rang and we both ran towards our class with other students too
