chapter three (introducing me to my classmates)

I followed her as she made to the stairs and then made a left turn walking through the long passage until and she turned right walking through the large passage that lead to the end of the building..

And I couldn't believe what I  saw just like the first building, but this time around was a bigger one there was a big hall by the left hand side and another by the right hand side the the middle was which was opposite the building where we came out from was another building I guess it was for the junior class....(which I later learnt that it only for jss1 and 2 and their hall like the first floor was for the jss2 and their music lab, . Then the second was for the jss1 and their cafeteria then the last floor was a big hall, with a stage for entertainment. The Hall by my right hand side was the junior hall, that's for information and the rest, then the right was for the senior. Then the jss3 stays in the principal building with some teachers and the rest)

We continue walking until we got to the end of the junior building.. And a building close  to my right hands was the senior building and a building that joined the senior building and a big field in the middle.....

"we are here " my teacher said looking at my face.

My class was in the third class in the last floor that was for ss3 only

"wow,  that's was a long walk "

"yeah,  don't worry with time you will get used to it

"yeah, with time " I said breathing little heavy.

"so, sha we"

"yeah"

She said and open the door

Wow they even have door and window

"class greet" said a girl from the second row. And the immediately they all stood in assembly

"Good morning ma, how are you doing "

"am fine and you, you may all have your sit " she said

All this while I was feeling shy I don't know why, all my classmates looks older and taller than me I guess am only taller than 5 or there about...

"class as you can see, we have a new student, name... , my dear pls introduce yourself " she said and urged me to come forward.. Just as if my legs were heavy I couldn't move freely... What is happening to me I said inside.. I have never felt like this before so why now, where is my boldness,, I said in my mind... "okay" I smiled as I move forward to the middle of the class...

"Good morning everyone "

"Good morning " the class chaos

"hmm... Mmm ...

"Shey to say your name na problem abi " a guy from the back said which made everyone in the class laughed

"hey Class behave " the teacher said and everywhere because silent

I looked at her and said "thanks "

"It nothing just hurry up, so we can do something else."

"okay" I said shaking...

I took a deep breath and smiled as I raised my head up and said

"Good morning class, my name is Ella uche and am 16years and I just moved in to ikeja...."

"yeah thank you we did not ask you whether you move in or not, so s can you have you sit, because you are blocking my view." another guy from the back sit said and only few people laugh...

"you all are not funny ooo, you have a new comer and you can't should sign of hospitality, may God save you." the teacher said with a bit of disappointment in her tone " pls look for chair and sit down and make yourself comfortable "

I just pity her..

I look a chair and a desk, since we all have to sit on a single chair and desk,, I found a chair and desk in the second row of third line since it four line and five row....

"class captain, go and call your next subject teacher " the teacher order and left the class

"okay ma " she said and left with the teacher...

The class continue with their noise, each on different groups, I felt lonely and left out, but it was not long before a girl came to me me she was sitting close to me the last sit close to the window.

"hey Ella am faith " she said with a smile

Wow she is beautiful

"I am.. "

"you don't need to tell me your name I already know "

"yeah, you know "
