CHAPTER 3

I am finally going to school today and guess what? I woke up late hay!!!!  I was waiting for my God-given alarm clock 'my mother' to wake me up but no, she choose today of all days to let me sleep in.

You can never fully understand what is going through my Mom's head,  she laughed at me when she saw me struggling to wear my shoes and walk at the same time. I had to be in school in like 15 minutes, why didn't this woman wake me? She's lucky she's the mom in this relationship, how I want to yell at her right now. I even had to skip breakfast 😔 this is taking a toll on my foodie title.

5 minutes later I'm standing in front of the big gates of Brixton High. I really couldn't take my time to admire the school or look around cause I don't want to be late for classes on my first day. As I entered the school gates, I ask the security man by the gate where the principal's office is 'it's always better to ask the security guard questions'. After he describes how to get there I thank him and walk as fast as I can towards where he described for me.

I'm now seated in front of the baldest person I've ever seen, his head is so shiny I can literally reflect on it. His name is Mr. Brown Woodley, he is the principal of Brixton High. 

"You're miss Nuelle Kalio right?" He asks.

"Yes sir".

"Here is your timetable and a map so you can find your way around the school and some books that you will need. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Brixton High" he says.

I thank him and leave.

Now I'm five minutes late for class and this map isn't helping, I really should have paid attention to Geography in my former school. I am standing in the hallway looking as lost as I can be when God brought this Angel to me.

"Hey!! You look so lost, can I be of help?"

"Yes, you can" I answer with an excited look on my face.

"I'm looking for My English Class. I'm a senior and new and I really can't understand this map" I sigh.

"You are in luck," he says.

"I'm going to the class too, we should hurry we are late. By the way, I'm Levi" he says with a smile on his face. 

I like him already. 

"I'm Nuelle" I reply as we walk as fast as we can to class.

Nothing interesting happened in class and our English teacher was late for class. I was so happy about that but the whole class still stared at me as I walked in with  Levi.

Levi made me sit close to him which I am grateful for.

It's lunchtime now and as a new girl with no friends, I have to eat alone. The whole cafeteria is crowded, I can see students sitting in groups, I can't just sit down with a group of people I don't know.

I look around for empty tables and I find one at the far end of the cafeteria. It looks like a good spot, I wonder why nobody sits down there. I block my ears with my earpiece and my music is as loud as it can get. When I get to the table I sit down and start eating minding my business as I always do.

Someone taps me and as I raise my head, I am met with sharp blue eyes staring down at me saying something I couldn't hear because of the earpiece in my ears so I remove it and answer "Can I do anything for you?"

Staring at him eyeball to eyeball, he let out a short chuckle "Yes get your ass out of our table" he says.

"Hmmm ah let me check something first," I say and start looking under the chair and table and beside it. 

"What are you doing," he asks looking amused.

"I am looking for your name or any name at all on this lunch table but there is none on it" I reply as if I just solved a case. 

"So it's not your table which means I'm not getting up, although you are welcome to join me if you want," I say with a fake smile on my face then I continue to eat my food. I'm hungry and this boy is getting on my nerves.

"What is she still doing here Jake?" I hear a feminine voice ask so I turn around to look at who is talking but am greeted with three more boys and the girl who just spoke, one of them looks awfully familiar. Fuck that's Jeremy the boy from the store.

Our eyes meet and his face hardens. He walks closer to me and says "You should leave this table, it's ours".

"No" I simply answer and face my food. 

The next thing I hear is my tray hitting the floor, all my food is littered on the ground now I am pissed. I stand up in anger but quickly realize how short I am standing close to him so I climb the table now standing face to face with him.

"Why did you do that?" I ask.  

"Why the fuck did you do that?!, did you bring this table from your house for fucks sake, must you be an asshole everywhere you go huh?" I ask him, my voice portraying how pissed off I am, not minding the thousands of eyes that are staring at me, the cafeteria becomes soo quiet that everyone is paying attention to what is happening.

"I won't let you bully me into leaving this lunch table. The same amount you pay for tuition fees is the same amount I'm paying too, I have every right to sit any fucking place I want to sit, you hear me?!" I say as loud as I can.
