This I Wonder Essay #Draft
No friends All Associates
Today is the day I am supposed to be starting my new
high school. Due to the fact that the current school I was attending was
shutting down in the middle of the school year I had no choice but to switch
schools. In my head I was thinking “oh boy! How fun might that be!” when in all
reality I just wish at this point in time I could just be home schooled. I
don’t know what is was, but it was just something about going to a new school
let alone a new high school especially. I knew that unfortunately I was going t
be the new girl which made me hella of nervous and on top of that I had to make
new friends which of course I was not looking forward to at all. So the name of
the new school that I am now attending is called Delaware Valley Charter High
somewhere in north Philadelphia which was like a hour and twenty minutes away
from home. Thank god today was a half day at this school because I was not
prepared to be in school for a whole day with a whole bunch of unfamiliar faces
trying to put me on the spot light by asking me all different types I
questions. So my mom pulled up to the school wanting to drop my off on my first
day which was oh so sweet of her because I did not feel like catching public
transportation. Even though I would have
to by the end of the day but at least by then I had met someone that was going
my direction and we could possibly walk together. As we’re sitting in front of
the school parked I kind of start to get a little nervous and my heart starts
to beat a little faster than usual. “Ok let’s go! Get out” my mom kind of yells
so I opened the door and hoped out of the truck. Then I noticed that the school
really look that bad from the outside and it was actually clean on the outside
too. As we walk up the steps getting closer and closer to the door my nerves
started to calm down a little surprisingly, then we finally got to the door and
there was a door bell and we rung standing there waiting to be buzzed in.
“Bzzzzz” then was the first noise we had heard the there was a click so my mom
pulled the door open and I entered first and she followed. “Good morning
ladies, how can I help you?” the security guard said standing in the back of a
big brown desk, two computer monitors that me and my mother could see ourselves
standing in, and last an id swipe.
Today is my first day as a freshman, where am supposed to go to get my class schedule? He pointed to a door behind us which seemed to look like the main office. I pulled open the door my mother walked through and of course I followed behind. I walked up the desk and there was actually a short light skinned lady, with long pretty black hair that came straight to our attention. “Good morning ladies how may I help you? You must be knew because you have a very unfamiliar face.” I turned and gave her a little smirk it was kind of funny that she noticed I was a new student. Then I said “yes I am a transfer student and I wanted to know where I can get my class schedule?” Then she said what’s your first and last name is? Koumezee Voker I replied. A little noise came from behind her that sounded like a printer which it probably was, then she turned around grabbed the paper from behind her and brought it up to me. “Here you go, the class you have now is English and that’s in room 204, then afterwards you have lunch. See you later mom!” she said to my mother and “I hope you enjoy the rest of your day young lady.” Before my mom could leave she gave me some lunch money, reminded that I should behave myself then she finally left. As I walked out of the office I asked the security guard if he had knew where room 204 was and he “straight threw these doubled doors and make a left its gonna be on your left hand side.” I followed his directions until I reached the class room and noticed that the door was open. Of course I was little nervous because I knew that as soon as I entered all eyes were going to be on me. So I took a deep breathe walked in surprisingly a few people looked but the others just continued to converse with each other. “Pick a seat any seat!” the teacher yelled from in the back so I did right next to the three girls that seemed to look pretty cool. “ Wassup, im jamilah this porsah and that’s mirna. Whats ya name?” “Damn why you gotta talk for me! Like I do have my own mouth!” the other girl who looked like she was Puerto Rican her name was mirna. Koumezee I said and nice to meet you guys. You must be from somewhere ya name sound foreign porsah said. I chuckled a little and said yea I’m Liberian. Where’s that in Africa? Yes I responded to jamilah. “Ohh so you African?” yes I said again. In my head I was hoping there were no more questions because I didn’t really feel like talking and there wasn’t. So I just sat the rest of the thirty minutes in class quiet, until the bell rang to go to lunch. Finally the bell rung and the hall had begun to fill with a whole lot of fresh meat leading the one to one direction which I could automatically assume was the cafeteria. We got down stairs received our lunch and jamilah requested that I follow her to sit with them at their lunch table. So I did and when I sat down I could notice that this high school was exactly how high school looked in the weird reality TV shows. i could see that all the nerds sat with the nerds, football, basketball, track, baseball etc. did the same as well. Then I looked to the left of where I was sitting except down the other end of the table and there were a group of girls that were so loud and obnoxious. From that I could already tell who they were me personally I liked to call them the boogies. But I out of all the girls there was this one girl that stood out called B. I mean yea she was pretty with long black pretty curly hair, with nicely paint pink nails, knee high doctor martin boots and for some reason she had on neon pink tights, which was so out of the uniform code. By the way she walked to the table and looked at jamilah or may I say the way they both looked at each other with that mean vicious bitch what are you looking at stare I could already tell this was going to be a long semester. Of course I could already sense the beef in the air but, one thing I knew it wasn’t my beef and I could care less about it. One thing was for though I think these girls probably though that I would back them up if anything went down, but truth is it was only my first day and I could really care less for friends. By the time school was out the weather had gotten a little warm but you could still feel the cool breeze as the favorite season of all spring was indeed on its way. Jamilah had gotten out a little early today so it was just me Mirna and Porsah walking to the train station. When I looked across the street to the left of me I could see that we weren’t the only ones speed walking to broad and Logan. Except we were speeding to catch the train I don’t really know why everyone else was in a hurry. Then I noticed that some people were even running and it was then that I knew something was about to go down. When we got to the train station all I could see was a huge crowd of boys and girls standing waiting around. But, apart from that there was a horrible stench that was giving me the Bg’s which of course almost made me puke! The scent was so awful that it smelled like dog poop, sweaty football socks, and homeless people piss all in one. On top of that you could feel the dirty rust water that dripped from the rusty train tracks above our heads. Then I heard someone from behind me yelling “i hope she ready! Where she at? Because jamilah and her family running down here right now.” Within a split second there she was with her hands already thrown up running towards B screaming “ wassup wassup what’s all that shit you were saying earlier!” when they finally had gotten face to face there was no more talking to do. Jamilah threw the first punch and it connected with B face it was on after that.
