Chapter Five (5)

I wake up to find my worst fear realized. I am going to high school today! Another year , gosh i am so hating this.

I get up and head for the bathroom, I brush my teeth. And then take a shower. Since it's the first day of school, I decided to dress as good as possible even though not meaning to brag but I have awesome sense of style!



I am so ready for school. Lies.

I go downstairs to find Ezra and Jasmine having break fast.

"He's finally up!" Ezra says "are you excited about today kiddo" he asked. I have a feeling he knows I am not. I just hissed and sat down.

"Korede, don't mind him o. On his first day of school he cried outta his mind" Jasmine commented. We both laughed at his fake pout.

After breakfast I went outside to see my dad waiting for me in the car. I had a car in Nigeria now I have legs, so yeah dad said he'll get me, Ezra and Jasmine cars once we're all settled in but until then I have to wait for him to take and pick me from school. Gosh my life has changed for the worst. Dang!! I have become as sensitive as a girl.

"Are you ready?" My dad asked breaking me out of my reverie

"I don't have a choice, let's just get this day over with" I said

"Kai! The sooner you let go of the attitude, the better for all of us" he said, the annoyance evident in his voice.

We got to the school by 8:06am students were already roaming about. If this was Nigeria, they'd be all lined up by now for assembly. Who am I kidding this is better than a Nigerian school though.

I got out of the car "Okay, bye Dad" I said and got out of the car.

"Bye" he replied and then he drove off.

I went straight to the principal's office.

I rapped the door twice before the principal said to come in.

When I came in, I saw a man with glasses and bald hair.

"Hi, I am assuming you are Korede Bello?" He asked

"Yes sir I am" I replied trying to be as courteous as I can.

"Okay so here's your schedule for the semester. And have a lovely day" he said "Oh and I am Mr Floyd" he added and smiled

"Okay, nice to meet you" I said and smiled back and then walked out.

I found the locker number. As I was arranging my books in it I heard a familiar voice "KB!" I turned around and saw Emma and Randy coming towards me.

"Hey guys" I said

"Hi, you didn't tell me you were transferring here"

"Yeah, just found out recently" I lied

" So dude, what's your first class?" Randy asked

"Literature" I replied after looking at my schedule

"Hey that's my class too" Randy said

"Really?" I said "then I guess we'll go together."

"Hey, do you play soccer?" He asked

"Yeah, I do"

"Then you should come try out for the team"

"That'll be great" I replied

"So I guess we'll go to the field together?" Emma said

"Mhm"

"Sure babe" Randy said

"Okay, I have to go. I'll catch up with you later" Emma said. She kissed Randy, waved me and went off.
