The Player And A Thing

CHAPTER 2- Encounter with the "Greek Gods' 1

On getting to New York, it was about 6:33am and the city seemed lit up by then and I must say... The sight was beautiful.

When we got to our supposed house...the whole place was looking or lemme say smelling like a dead rat, so my mom had to spray her deodorant 'cause she couldn't figure out where she placed the air freshener.

The first thing my mom told us or me specifically was to pull out our clothes' bag and get settled in a room. I picked the room that was a bit far away from the other rooms but close to our neighbors' room's window, as in, really close but what has that got to do with me since I don't know who the goddamn neighbors are( I should prolly watch my mouth).

I cleaned up the whole room which actually got me feeling like a junk yard and set up my walk-in closet. By that time it was around 8:00am, even if we wanna go to school, is it gon' be now that first period has started and I'm still at home, well, that is actually none of my biz, at least, I'm a new student and moreover, I just wanna please Collen's mom so she doesn't tear me up.

I got to the bathroom and did a quick wash and about 30minutes later I got out, applied my lotion, body mist and by that time my mom was already yelling all my names that she could possibly remember.

I got dressed in a black high waist trouser and a long sleeve light blue baggy crop-top , topped it with a black sneakers and hurried downstairs as I pulled along with me my backpack to get my ordered breakfast, cleaned up after eating and went out to mom's car and we drove off.

We got to the school and my mom told us to go directly to the principal's office to get our schedules and after that she drove off and for a crazy second...it seemed like Dominic from "fast and furious" switched places with my mom in the driver's seat.

Standing right in front of the school after Collen strayed into the school like he knew everyone and everywhere, the only thing that caught my attention the most was some kind of statue writing that spelt out "LAVENDER HIGH SCHOOL". I ought to get a perfect look buh I think I've spent more time gawking at the school. I don't wanna seem weird on my first day.

I entered the school and after some minutes of searching for that door that leads to the principal's office...I actually imagined the principal to be some kinda bald headed freak buh unfortunately...he wasn't bald buh his hairline seems to be missing...on a journey of no return.

I entered after I heard a sigh and a low muttered "come in". He started by lecturing me on the advantages of not coming late to school.

"Actually sir...we just moved here, so we were tryna settle in and...you know...stuffs". I tried to look calm...trust me...well...don't trust me buh still...I really tried to look calm buh then a tight knot kept on getting tighter in my tummy...you don't get detention on your first day in a new school right?...

"Your twin brother, Collen Hathaway said you delayed him". Was he supposed to poke his nose in my matter or just gimme my schedule and I get the f**k out?

"Jesus Christ...Collen said that?...Tf?"...I also tried to have the best expression on my face...buh pure sarcasm was written all over it. Will this man stop putting his nose up over my matter and worry much about his forgone hairline?

"Yes he did and next time...I won't go easy on you if you come late again. Also...watch the use of your language".

I rolled my eyes before he could sight me and said " Sir, I came here for my schedule".

"Science department right?". He asked searching his desk.

"Yeah". I was still gawking at his hairline...it looked like it was ripped off.

He gave me my schedule and my locker's key with number 48 written on it. I had Biology first which was actually the second period .

I walked out of the office after muttering my "thank you" and into the hallway. All the serious students were rushing to get to their second class and I headed to my locker...sorted out by books and fetched out Biology.

I started walking with my fingers crossed that I'll find Biology class soon. I felt all eyes on me...at least not all eyes, buh still...I felt like I was gawked at. The newest kid in a school with a twin brother that is prolly mixing himself up with every possible student that he lays his eyes on.

Well...I continued my search for Biology and at a point, all the students parted as if making a pathway for a king or a queen to come in...like some kinda grand entrance. What walked in was not a queen neither a king buh "GREEK GODS"...
