First day of school

It was one of the best days of my life. I spent two hours sorting through my vast collection of designers' clothes. I had settled for a red and black sleeveless dress with a blue denim jacket, blue wedge and one of my beautiful red studs, my special charm bracelets and my black choker.

My long curly brown hair dropped on my ass as I braided it into a lovely French twist. I know, you all are thinking, how a black girl can have that length of hair...well I'm more surprised than you are. PS turns out it's a family trait from my mum's side. My grandma has a super long shiny and curly hair. I had already dyed parts of my hair black because I really loved the color black. I added some little clips to my hair and I was done.

[Door flings open]

Just as I was about finishing up, mum barged in saying "sweetie, aren't you done yet? You know you're running late".

I'm almost done mum, I replied saying...just one more minute. [Mom had already gone down stairs].

I had a make-up kit but I never use it because I really never liked make-up. It makes me feel uncomfortable and unnatural.

[Now running downstairs] good morning mum and dad...they answered in unison "good morning"

"Oooouuuu my favourite" I squealed out of happiness and excitement. Mum prepared pancakes and hot chocolate tea for breakfast. I'm a fast eater, so I finished up before everyone. My siblings Gwendolyn and Ethan as usual were competing on who will finish up their breakfast first.

[Now leaving the dining table]

I picked up my bag whilst going towards the door, then mum yelled out..."jasmine, aren't you gonna let your dad drop you off to school?" She asked.

"No mum, I prefer to walk" I answered." Alright dear, take care" she said. Gwen and Ethan yelled "bye sis, see you later". I relied them all, saying, "Bye".

[Now on the road side]

I was in such awe with the environment around me, it was so beautiful and the environment smelled nice that I didn't notice a boy skating towards me with high speed and he didn't see me also, so he crashed into me.

He didn't get hurt because of his helmet and knee braces. I on the other hand hit my head on the ground and bruised my elbow.

He stood up recovering and he said "OMG, I'm soooooo soorrry for that, it's my fault". [Now helping me up] I said "it's alright; it's only a little bruise".

We recognized each other soon after the incident.

"OMG, David...David Sylva "I said." Yeah! Jasmine, nice to meet you again" he said.

"So, what are you doing around, I thought you would still be in Los Angeles "I asked.

"Naaah! I live here now, I'm leaving with my uncle now... since my parents went on a business trip" he answered.

"Oooo that's nice, where are you heading to?"I asked." To school, it's a little far from here, it's Camwits Foundation High"he answered.

"That's my new school also, do you mind if we walk there together?" I asked.

"Do I mind? Do you even need to ask... of course I don't mind" I replied.
