chapter 3 - Leaving him

September

For the remainder of the week, I never saw Akeem till I left for school

schools resumed and I can say I was never ready for the experiences I was about to get

the first week of school I completely forgot I had someone I was completely infatuated with because of new friends, new environment, new things and experiences

my first day in class was the most memorable one, where I was introduced to everyone and the class teacher asked me to sit with a redhead who I later found out was the clown of the class

Two weeks into resumption and I already figured out the nerds, jock, elite, and weirdos and sadly I was already classified as a weirdo

Even with the fact that I was the nephew of the principal I still had zero popularity and respect

It was the opposite for my brother, he was the third eligible bachelor in his class, and people found it difficult to believe we are even related

I was made fun of countless times for my body shape and introverted self

one month into resumption and I already gave up the hope of having a friend or popularity except I was popular for being the black sheep of my family.

not only did my friendship radar dropped my self-esteem also dropped

The only thing to compensate me with was the fact that juniors liked me cause the more gentle the senior the less likely you will be punished by the senior

I got along with a lot of Junior more than my mates

And academically I wasn't doing well enough too

My expectation and happiness I had for a change of school went directly to zero

and I instantly knew right then that not all changes in school or environment always have a good outcome
