"Relax.. Just walk in" I said to myself and sucked in fresh air. I reached out to open the door.
My driver had dropped me at school, then helped me to the principal office. Who looked funny, I can't lie. He had three marks on his cheeks. Was it a cat that scratched him that way? It looks like a claw tore through his cheeks. His skin didn't have a colour that blend. His forehead and neck were extremely darker than his other body parts. Was it the sun that caused that? He was average in height and he talks slow as if he was counting his words. Other than that he was a nice person. He had appointed a student to show me my class. I am guessing from the middle school. He was so small. His uniform swallowed his body.
So sad!
Right now, I am face to face with the door to my future.
One step for man, one giant leap to my future.
I know that's not the way it goes. Bear with me!
"Are you going in or not" the boy with no name since he never told me stood behind me.
"You can go" I waved the boy off. He didn't go.
"Principal told me to show you the way and report to him later" he said bluntly.
I have no response to that.
Okay! Now or never! Although there is no where I would go to if I don't enter. Come on Susie!
I entered like a boss (coughs)
Ahh men that lie almost choked me.
At first, the noise greeted me but then totally silence followed. Not surprised about that! I figured I have been closing my eyes. I opened to see a classroom filled with students obviously and a man standing at the front, writing on the white board. The room was large and equipped like a class should be. It had a ceiling fan that kept the place airy. Table and chairs were arranged in rows and column. Eyes were piercing at me,
Everywhere looked blurry although I could see clearly.
I guess fear and nervousness caused it. I stood there for two minutes. I'm thinking they were trying to download what's standing at their door before the man, I'm guessing their teacher.
"Welcome, come in" he gave an warm smile. Then to the students, he yelled "Are you blind? Can't you welcome her?"
A girl from the back seat yelled. "Okay, guys. Let's welcome her" with that a banging sound was heard. They all stood up. Then chorused.
"Welcome to Golden Sunset International College/ Secondary School. We hope we will get along"
Wow! I feel so honoured. *sniff*
"Okay, sit down..." the bell rung, interrupting what the teacher was about to say. "Pls introduce yourself to everyone" he added.
With my millionaire voice, 😅 I said "My name is Susan Edward"
"You schooled where?" a girl from the front row asked.
"In Canada"
"Oh, you are from Canada?" The teacher asked.
"Yes, born and raised there"
Mumbling echoed after that.
"OK which one of you will be nice enough to give this girl a sit"
"Mr Adam there is an empty sit here" A voice from the back echo.
"Ehen! Bring it here! Keep it next to Chioma's seat. Yes.. near the window" Mr Adam instructed.
A tall dark boy carried a chair and desk to where Mr Adam had pointed.
"Okay! Go and have your sit, my name is Mr Adam and welcome to Nigeria "
