Ava snarled as she ran up to me."Firstly, never call me that again. And then what exactly are you talking about?" I replied, showing no interest in the conversation she was trying to start."Don't act dumb, you know what I'm saying. And I'll call you whatever I feel like!" She yelled back in her annoying British accent."Listen Ava, whatever it is you're talking about isn't my problem right now, so please can you just let me have a normal recess?" I asked and she stared at me blankly.I let out a heavy sigh and walked over to the cafeteria while holding her hand."Hey you two, why is your face squeezed Ava?" Matthew asked as we took our seats and Ava hissed loudly."Apparently, she's upset because I tal
Expulsion???She calls that being fair?"But, Miss Ge..." I protested."I don't want to hear it.""Get out of my office, both of you. I'll call you when the expulsion letter is issued." She replied sternly as she adjusted her glasses on her nose."This can't be happening.""I hate this school, but this can't be happening." I whispered, completely bewildered.I shut my eyes at Katie, and she shut her sorry, teary eyes at me. Of course she should be, but she wasn't bold enough to come clean.I hate her.Not like I would come clean if I were in her shoes, but still...Hate her, y'all.I hissed and stormed away, thinking of how I was going to tell my mom because she'd definitely kill me this time.I kept thinking and wishing it would all go away as I walked straight to the garden.People kept staring at me, and it confirmed the fact that news sure travels fast in this school.Since the day Katie showed me around, I've never actually been to the garden again.It felt like a place of sorrow
I woke up.Yes, I didn't die.I was in the same room as when I fainted after walking down a billion stairs."Jay, omg, Jay, I heard what happened," Katie said as she ran into the room. My eyes were barely open because of my splitting headache, but I saw how wet her face was with tears."I'm fine, really," I replied as she helped me get up."I'm sorry I wasn't the one to rescue you; I know how weak you are." She ranted, and my brows rose because her tone offended me."Wait, I don't understand; what do you mean by weak?" I tried to yell, but I was too weak to do so."Like I know how weak you are, Jay, in a white society, and how hard it must be for you to be in a white school." "That's why I'm your friend—to help you." She blurted out."Oh! So this is about race," I thought, and my heart wept bitterly."So technically, you decided to be friends with me because you think I'm weak?" I said, with the pitch of my voice rapidly rising.The nurse just went about her usual business, like a fig
Maybe I'm just overreacting.Maybe it's just a stranger minding his own business.I turned around, and the first thing I noticed was a really shiny pen knife in the hand of a filthy-looking man.He was completely clothed in all black tattered clothes, making sure no skin was showing except his face; his hair was long and black with very few white strands.Slowly he walked closer, and slowly I retreated my steps until I was up against the wall."Tu parles français?" He asked, meaning, "Do you speak French?""Oui," I replied, trying to hide my fear. My mom made my sisters and me take French classes one summer, and I'm glad I did."Now, pretty girl, I don't mean to harm you." "I'd let you go if you're good and do exactly as I say," he said again in French in the most creepy way possible.I simply nodded."Good, give me all the money you have." He smiled, revealing an uneven set of brown teeth."I don't have any money..." I'm not from here; I'm a foreign student; I'm here for... I begged.
Chapter 4"YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO REPORT TO THE CAFETERIA," came a voice so loud it could deafen.5 minutes? It takes more than five minutes to go down the stairs.'How is that even......'I looked around to see no one in the room, and then it hit me.I might actually miss my food.These people are
Chapter 3I woke up to this well-furnished white room, and I thought I was in heaven until I noticed this boy sleeping in an armchair next to my bed.I didn't know boys went to this school; he had the exact same uniform I had on, except instead of a skirt, he wore pants.Our uniform is nothing too

Chapter 1I stared at my laptop screen furiously, "Arrgh, I can't come up with anything," I yelled, my voice filled with frustration."Come on, Jeanne, you have to submit that before 6 p.m. today," said my mom as she walked past my room with a laundry basket in her hands.I continued my staring co
