First block was like every movie that follows the new kid and their first day of school. When everybody got in the class the teacher singled me out making me go to the front.

I didn't really say much. "I'm Samayah... I just moved here.my favorite subject is English.. my favorite color is green"

"Hu gayyyy" some dude called out.

I heard a few giggles.

"Okay! That's enough. Let's be nice to the new girl. You can like any color that has nothing to do with her sexuality."

"Have a seat honey" she whispered to me. On my way back to my seat this one girl kept looking at me. I think she was one of Sophie's minions probably soaking up the tea so she could report back to her.

"What the fuck" I mumbled under my breath when I got to second block.

So Sophie's smarter then she acts. She was sitting in the middle desk and some of her crew were sitting around her. I sighed taking a seat in one of the front desk.

"That's right. Go ahead and occupy a loser seat."

This bitch is bold. People must really walk around here letting her talk to them any type of way.

I spun around in my seat.

"Oh did I take your seat? Should I move? Only losers pick at people to feel better about themselves."

She laughed. "What are you? An eight year old? Who goes 'oooo she's picking at me... she hurt my feelings."

I laughed. "You could never do that. I'd have to give a fuck first." I said before turning around.

"Ooooo" I heard I few people say.

"Oooo Bonqeisha's feisty." Sophie joined in.

I was about to turn around and cuss her out but she was saved by our teacher.

"So, I know you guys see a very unfamiliar face among us today. New student why don't you come up and introduce yourself."

Why don't teachers ever think about the fact that their not your only teacher and you probably have to do this and embarrass yourself all day. I looked around the class when I stood up. Most of the people were the same. My eyes were automatically drawn to the other black girl. She was brown skin, really really skinny, and she looked like she could be off somewhere else making money on social media, and the last thing she wanted to do was sit with us low life's. She avoided eye contact and made a face swiping on her phone. I also noticed that the girl who was staring at me in my last class wasn't in this one. Sophie was sitting beside a ginger headed gay boy that I remember seeing at her table earlier.

"Ummm... I'm Samayah, I'm from lighterdale"

Sophie rolled her eyes.

"... uhhh I don't even know what say." I giggled nervously.

"Tell us something you like to do in your spare time"

I smiled a little this was my moment to show how educated and non-ratchet I was.. I wanted Sophie to be sitting their looking stupid.

"Well, I love to play the piano, the violin and the flute. I also love to read and paint"

Sophie leaned over and started whispering something.

"What?! You got something to say?" I said a little louder then I meant to.

Sophie's big blue doll eyes looked stunned. If I hadn't met her until just now I would think she's completely shocked.

"Me? I'm sorry, I was asking Tommy about the homework" she looked and sounded so innocent I almost felt bad  for snapping on her. But knowing  her she was lying.

"Okay, no need for that tone. But Sophie that is still really rude and inappropriate. I know for a fact if you were up here You'd want all eyes on you."

I tried my best not to smirk but I think a little one slipped out.

I think me and Mr. Gerald are going to get along.

"I'm so sorry, you're right that was really inconsiderate of me."  She said with big doe eyes.

"Okay, Samayah take a seat. Thank you for sharing"

I smirked at Sophie as I walked away.

She adjusted  her jaw and huffed.

1 for Sophie, 1 for me.

If this bitch wanna play, let's play.

In third block I finally got a break from all the introduction. My teacher just acknowledged my presents. Which was very surprising for Drama class.

"Okay everybody, pair up." She said with a clap.

Well that's awkward. I was about to start scrolling on my phone preparing to just be thrown with the kid nobody wanted to pick, when someone tapped my shoulder.

"Hey." It was the girl from 1st block. She seems like the friend that's 'different' but not actually different in their group.

She had two front pieces of hair dyed a honey blond and the rest of it was brown. Her lash extensions were fluffy and pretty but not too much. Not bad for a white salon. She was wearing a tight plaid dress with a short sleeve shirt under it. It hugged her curvy body. Her glossed lips formed into a smile.

"Uh, hey."

She sat beside me. She smelled so good. "Sorry about Sophie... for real."

"Can't be too sorry. You hang out with her."

She winced. "I would say she's better when you get to know her but.... nope she's just a bitch. But I promise I'm nothing like her.... let me prove it. Can I be your partner?"

The only thing in my head was, this is one fine ass white girl... if only I liked white girls.

"Mmm yeah, okay. Still don't trust it but fine."

"It beats being picked last" she smiled sweetly. She grabbed her stuff and scooted into the seat beside me.

"Okay I'm going to pass out papers. It's a worksheet that shows Newton's third law. Every action has a reaction. For every scenario I need the pair of you to make a scene. One needs to create an action and the other provide the reaction. You can come up with these scenes today in class.  but it's a one day task. You will be preforming tomorrow. I want to see where everybody starts off. I know some of you haven't had any acting experience and that's fine. I want to see your natural talent. I'm going write down your strengths and weakness and throughout the semester we will work on them and perform a play at the end to show case your improvements. Now I'm done talking annnnnnddd ACTION!!"

The girl looked at me like she was holding  her breath. "No pressure" she said breathing out. "Oh my god .. I didn't even tell you my name.. I'm Evelyn... I know, it's an old lady name. It was my great grandma's dying wish before I was born. everybody calls me Evee."

She looked at my face for a second then giggled a little. "Sorry, that was a lot. I don't usually talk this much I swear."

I smiled a little. "It's fine. I'm Samayah."

"You're gay right?"

I tossed my head back. "Oh my god.. is this how y'all greet people here?"

She bit her lip. "Sorry... Sophie was talking about it earlier, she didn't say anything bad though.... okay I lied. But fuck her, she's always so over opinionated" she said rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

" so you're not?"

" not what?"

" over opinionated."

"Mmmm depends. If it's about music or pizza flavor I will argue you down. There's not much else I care about" she giggled

I just nodded. After that I turn my attention to the actual assignment. It's not like we have multiple days to work on it.

Thank God for the rest of the day I didn't have Sophie or Evee, in any of my other classes.

My dad insisted on picking me up after my first day of school, even though I tried to tell him multiple times I would be fine. But leave it to parents to not listen.

I headed to the car loop as soon as my last class let out. I didn't expect to be bothered again today so I huffed when I heard someone calling out my name as I got to the bottom of the stairs.

"Samayah!" I looked up the stairs to see EV rushing down.

"I figured you might want my number so we can put some finishing touches on our project"

She could've just put her number in my phone but instead she gently tucked a little piece of paper into my hand. Her hand was still warm and soft.

Her hand lingered a second longer than it had to "call me"

I got a feeling that she was trying to flirt with me and I started to blush. I watched her walk away, then I looked around to see if anybody was watching.

Me and Sophie made eye contact. She was talking to somebody else, But she was completely looking at me. Probably trying to peep my conversation.

I rolled my eyes.

My dad was cheesing when I got in the car.

"What?" I asked annoyed

" looks like you made a new friend already"

I chuckled "negative"

He must've saw me with Evee.

"Some white bitch that's obsessed with being politically correct"

He sighed like he didn't want to deal with my attitude.

"I know you're not necessarily happy with the circumstances but you need to watch your mouth, and having that attitude won't help you make friends."

"Good. It's not gonna change so you might as well go ahead and hit up Alexus's people"

He sighed. "I thought this could go without saying ur apparently not. I'm not gonna try to convince anybody to do anything If you won't even try to make friends"

That shit pissed me off.

I didn't talk to him for the rest of the ride, instead I updated my Facebook status.

Status: these white people here are bold as fuck. #missinghomealready

I called Alexus as soon as I got home.

"Hey baby how'd it go?"

"I Hate it already"

She pouted. "Nooo why?"

"Everybody's just rich and snobby. There's this bitch Sophie and she's like head bitch, everybody's always kissing her ass."

She pouted "ughhh I hate those type of bitches, awww you didn't meet anybody you like?"

Evee flashed through my mind.

"No"

My phone dinged.

Friend request from Evee Foster.

I swear somehow I spoke her up even though I didn't even mention her.

I blankly looked at the request while Alexus gossiped about the current drama at my old school.

"I'm not gonna try to convince anybody of anything if you can't even try to make friends." My dads voice replayed in my head. I rolled my eyes and accepted the request.

Alexus sighed "I gotta go my little brother is screaming... again. and my mom is calling me"

"Damn okay baby."

" I know it sucks but try to cheer up. I'll talk to you later."

When we got off the phone I had a new Facebook notification.

Someone reacted to a post you made.

I clicked the notification.

There was a laugh face reaction to my post left by Evee.

I felt a little smile form in my face.

That smile went away quick as fuck when my phone dinged

Sophie:leave my cousin alone.

Mayah: one, I don't know who your cousin is and Idgaf. Two I don't know who's letting you tell them what to do, but it won't be me. I'll talk to whoever tf I want to talk to.

I'm Sure she was talking about Evee

I exited out of the conversation and went to creep on Evee's page. I didn't even notice they had the same last name. I clicked on her pics. Damn she's cute. Lucky bitch. She looks like what my mom wishes I was. Most of her pics were selfies, Then there was a pic of her on the beach in a tube top bikini. I was relieved to see no trump 2020 shit under her profile.

Okay maybe I was looking..how couldn't I? She looked so good in that bikini,  but I stopped. I was hungry so I went down to the kitchen. My dad already told me my mom was 'too tired' to cook after the move so we're having pizza... as if she moved anything herself.

"Hi baby" my mom said coming around the corner as I put my pizza in the microwave with a cup of water.

"Hey."

"How was your day?"

"Fine"

She pouted. "Just fine? It was your first day."

I didn't want to talk to her. My pizza was done warming up And I was still mad at her for fucking up my mood this morning.

I jumped when I got a notification

Evee: hi stranger, you never called me

"Who's that?" My mom asked leaning on the counter.

I thought about saying nobody but what my dad said echoed in my head again.

"A new friend." I said with a fake smirk, grabbing all my shit.

"Awww honey that's great!" She called after me as I made my way up the stairs.

I was going to wait to call her till after I ate but I already opened her message.

Samayah: Can i call you now? My bad

Evee: yep

I was too lazy to actually put her number in my phone so I just call her on Facebook.

"Well hey, damn you forgot about me fast"

"Sorry, I was on the phone with my girlfriend."

She got quiet for a second. "Awww, okay.. cool. Is she sad you're gone?"

I could tell by her reaction she was surprised.

I still have pictures of Alexus on my Fb page but she probably thought we broke up when I moved.

"Yea, it's hard being away from each other".

"Awww that sucks."

"So you're Sophie's cousin." I said changing the subject.

"Sadly... yeah. Who told you? I was honestly trying my best not for you not to find out... I guess word travels fast"

I chuckled "she did. Do I make her hella bitchy or is she like this everyday? She came in my DM's talking about 'leave my cousin alone" like I'm stalking you or something."

She sighed "ugh! That's her. 365 days out of the year. I don't know why she cares about what I do so much. It's annoyed , she already forced me into being a part of her little cult."

I busted out laughing. "No wayyy you know what I've been calling y'all all day?"

She giggled "what?"

"Minions." I said before biting into my pizza I was so distracted by our conversation I almost made my shit get cold.

She busted out laughing. "She wishes she was as good of a villain as Gru. At least Gru can make inventions. It's more of an Angelica and the babies type situation. She's just a blonde bitch with a big ass mouth."

I choked on my pizza a little laughing.

"I just don't understand how you talking to me is any of her business"

"How dare you question your ruler" I joked.

We ended up talking about Sophie and school so long it was late before we even started trying to work on our acting assignment.

"Have you seen eyes wide shut yet? I want to watch it but I'm scared to watch it alone."

"No, never heard of it.."

"Really, it's a Netflix original. I've seen almost all of the Netflix scary movies."

"Lucky you. My parents won't let me have Netflix." She gasped like I said something insane. "What?!"

"Yep... my mom was always complaining, about the shit I was watching on their being 'ratchet' one day she walked in on me watching Orange is the new black... and it was on a lesbian sex scene. She literally threatened to put me in conversion camp after that. Then deleted the Netflix account. She really hates that I'm gay."

"Damnnnnn, that really sucks. Does she know about your girlfriend?"

"Yep. That's why we ended up moving here. 7 hours away from her."

"That's fucked up. Does she really think moving you hours away from her will magically stop you from being gay? "

"I don't know but apparently she hates the way her daughter turned out so much she's willing to find out.... wow, I have no idea why I said all that to a stranger"

"No it's fine.. I'm the one who asked. That really is fucked up though."

"Yepppp..."

"Do you think you and girlfriend will break up?"

I swallowed hard.

I don't want to think about that. My parents told me we were moving the week I was going to tell her I love her. I know it doesn't seem like we're that close because I've been kind of short with her but that has nothing to do with her. I'm just unhappy right now. I still love her.

"I'm sorry, that's none of my business" she cut in before I could say anything.

We ended up staying up hella late. She gave me her Netflix password and we ended up watching the first episode of some show she's obsessed with.

I was dozing off when my phone dinged.

Alexus: aww I guess you fell asleep. I hope your day got better, ttyl baby ❤️

I instantly felt bad. especially since I was looking at Evee... and she knew it. She looked up and saw me looking at her a few times and smiled everytime.

I yawned. "Hey, I'm bout to go to sleep, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Awww" she pouted "okay, but we're watching eyes wide shut tomorrow night right?"

I smiled a little "Yea."

It's not like I'm flirting with her. I'm making sure not to do that. She knows I have a girlfriend and she's acting pretty chill about it. But I know I have to keep an eye on her. It seems like she peeps everything.

The next day of school was a little better. I guess you could say I made a friend.

Evee called me on my way walking into the school.

"Where are you?"

"Coming into the entrance."

"Ughh your taking too long. I'm stuck with Sophie and Tommy"

I walked through the door that leads to the fountain.

She was standing a few inches away from the table with the phone up to her ear looking around.

When she saw me she smiled.

I watched Sophie's face as Evee walked passed them and over to me.

She really hates that shit.

Evee smiled. "Mornin bitch, I brought you a croissant." She said shoving it into my hand. She lucky I was finally waking up. She trusted in my reflexes a little too much for it to be 8:00 am.

A bit the croissant as we went back into the building heading to our lockers before class.
