Chapter Three

JAMIL

Can't believe I'm actually starting school today and at a Nigerian school at that, arrgh I am soo not looking forward to it at all. What if all those horror stories I heard were actually true, it can't be that bad, yh right its probably worse. What if they laugh at me cause of my disability, I've heard Nigerian kids can be brutally mean.

'We go soon reach ohh, oga', Mr Emeka my driver says bringing me out of my thoughts. I simply nod my head at him.

Damn I'm soo nervous right now and I don't even know why, Bro quit worrying already you sound like a sissy, shut up head voice, you know I'm right nigga so don't act all high and might cause you housing me okay, hmmph. I wonder if they have really cute girls tho, Alex said they were okay but very thick when he spent a year here as a foreign exchange student, what were his words again yh, 'Those Nigerian babes be the realest man, like they hot, like they smoking hot and they thick, they thick as fuck ' I still remember his exictment about that. He said they have this kinda fetish about foreign guys with an accent cause I had been shocked to know that my nerd of a best friend was actually attracting girls to himself considering his bad luck at wooing girls, not that he's not attractive, he is trust me ; mixed dude with Latino and Nigerian heritage, with a head full of thick puffy curls and beautiful hazel eyes on tan skin. Nigga you said beautiful eyes, hell I did, didn't I, yuck it sounds so weird  thank God he can't hear me think that, that would be so weird. Heck aren't we there yet, how far is this freaking school.

'Oga we don reach ohh', Mr Emeka said just as I was about to ask him how much longer to the school. Now I'm not in a hurry to get to school but I absolutely hate  waiting or sitting for too long, that's just horrid.

I stepped down to leave the car after strapping on my back pack.

'Ehhn oga your mama say make I tell you say I go come pick you for afternoon around that kind two o'clock', Mr Emeka literally rushed out as if I understand  what the heck he's even saying. I must have had 'huh?' written all over my face considering he just quickly tried to explain in a way that I would understand even if I don't get everything he's saying.

'Asin your mama say I should tell you say that I go come for afternoon around two o'clock ', he tried to explain slowly in his broken English so I could understand. I grasp just a little of what he said but understood the message he was trying to pass across.

I nodded my head and bowed my neck a little to say thank you and walked straight to the administration block. 

   💎🕸💎🕸💎🕸💎🕸💎🕸💎

I followed the girl that the principal had called to show me to my class and show me around school and help me get settled into the school system. Damn, she's freaking pretty, I thought to myself but she seems shy, like really shy, shier than what is considered normal. She has kept her head down since I met her at the principal's office and hasn't said a word to me, she's literally shaking and just leading the way to class, she's apparently my class mate.

Her silence made me feel really uncomfortable considering the fact that I'm usually  the silent one. I try to think of what to say so I can talk to her but all to annoying soon I hear say 'we are here', Damn even her voice too is pretty, I know weird how can a girls voice be pretty but it is and I can't explain it you'll have to hear her yourself to understand what I mean, I wonder if she has the foreign boy fetish?

Just as we get into the class, I hear my new classmates start throwing stupid jabs at her, what do I call her, I don't even know her name, hmm how bout damsel, naa try something else, Jamsel? Really ha you are already claiming her nigga, whatever.

'Urrgh, this ugly thing resumed this term too ',someone said, what?? Is it my Jamsel they are calling ugly are these people blind or something.

'Why she no kukuma just leave this year naa' another voice said.

'Oh boy you see our class pishure last term bahh, the babe just spoil am ehhh, if you see as she take wohwoh for that pishure it go shock you, even dog my dog sef fine pass am', a pretty slim guy said making the whole class burst into a fit of laugher

'No dey call am babe that's an insult to the word naa haba', a light skinned girl by the window said causing another round of laugher from them.

My heart broke at this, wow is this what she passes through everyday. Even though I don't fully understand what they are saying I manage to grasp what they mean. I turn to look at Jamsel and to my surprise she looks pretty unfazed by what they are saying and just walks to a sit at the end of the class where no one is, leaving me to find a seat by myself. It's either she doesn't care or she's extremely good at masking her emotions to look that composed, she didn't even bat an eyelash at them just calmly went to her sit, wow.

Pulling my gaze away from her I turned to see the whole class staring at me and murmuring amongst themselves.

'Guy hafa' the slim guy said and I just looked at him in confusion. I guess he saw I didn't understand what he was saying cause he immediately corrected himself and said, 'Dude, what's up '

I smirked at that and quickly typed on my phone to reply him.

'I'm cool '

'Ohk naa, I'm Chinedu, you nko'

I'm guessing he asked for my name so I just typed it.

'Jamil, Jamil Jonathan ', the robotic voice replied for me.

I heard some girls giggle amongst themselves at that, one girl even said I was hot loud enough for me to hear. I grinned to myself at that seeing that the foreign boy fetish was true. The girls probably thought I was smiling at them seeing as they are all swooning.

'So you don't talk?'

'No, I don't ', came my robotic reply. I waited for them to poke fun at me but they never did. Instead I heard gasps and apologies, I just shrugged my shoulders and used the robotic voice to tell them it wasn't a big deal.

'So where can I sit', I asked seeing as I had still been standing.

'Here, you can come sit with me',  a dark skin beauty said. Dayummmn, she is beautiful and thick too check out those thighs, I thought obviously staring at her and licking my lips.

'So you are a player ehh?' a guy sitting in front me said. I wasn't  expecting that kind of question  but answered it anyways.

'Sort of, I mean c'mon there are way too many pretty ladies around like the one sitting beside me to pass up on, besides what girl wouldn't want a piece of me ehh', the robotic voice answered and I cockily finished it off with a wink to the beauty sitting beside me. They all laughed some the girls blushing especially the beauty beside me.

'Spoken like a true gee my man, welcome to Peak high school ', Chinedu said in between laughs.

'Thank you bro ', I replied

I turned to look at Jamsel but she wasn't even looking my way. She had her head bent on the table looking out the window not paying any of us her attention.

'So what's her name', I asked the guy who asked me if I was a player, I think he said his name was Nonso. The way he scrunched up his nose in disgust you would think he was changing a baby's diaper.

'Abeg guy fashi that girl, she's not worth your time at all, she's not even fine sef with all those hideous black spots on her face then to make matters worse she's na fat anyhow', he said with so much venom that I actually wondered if that was the only reason I shouldn't talk to her. There was probably more to the venom in his voice. 

'But she's not all that fat, I think she's just really thick and she's really pretty', I said turning to look at her. She still wasn't looking at me but out that window, I thought I saw her stiffen when I defended her but I think it was just my imagination. 

Turning my attention back to the others, I noticed the weird looks they where giving me.

'What', I asked

'That bitch is not fine anything at all, if any thing she's the most digusting creature to ever step foot into this school, even the lizards fine pass her, if we gist you her gist ehh you sef go understand', Chinedu exclaimed with everybody agreeing with him.

A bell rang in the distance and they got up to start leaving the class. They said it was the morning assembly and so I followed them out.

Back from the assembly and seated in the first class of the day I glanced at Jamsel and noticed she just looked straight ahead at the plump English teacher with a very blank face on. I decided to let what are classmates said slide even though I didn't agree with them but what can I do they have already made up their mind. Ohh well there are finer girls around, I wonder which of them will give in first. Maybe during break I might get a little something from the girl sitting two rows in front of me that had be looking at me seductively with very suggestive winks. Yh I'm so getting myself some this break, I can't wait.

Smirking to myself I tuned her out and concentrated on my English class.

I'm actually going to like this school, the horror stories weren't true after all.
