MY FIRST LOVE

it's January 2014 school has opened and it's a new grade ,8 th , everyone is excited about what they are going to learn and new things they will discover about them selves. liscar goes over to Kris's house to pick her up for school, but she she finds kris is still in bed, aren't you going to school? liscar asked. not yet I still have to write some exams for the school I wanted to go to. kris a 14 year old girl from a normal family not to rich and not poor , she lives with her parents and younger sister angel, her mom is a housewife while her dad is an executive chef at a 3 star hotel. ok I have to go now, I will be passing when I can to check up on you, ok take care', liscar went on to school. just like any other middle class girl kris does her chores to help her mom, even though her parents relationship wasnt the best they pretended to be the best couple. the week of her exams came and although kris was ready physically her mental state wasn't, but because she is expected to be the best she had to write the exam. a few hours later she came back filling drained, the results will be out in two weeks, for now she continued with studying for 8 th grade and home chores. the week for results came and she went to the centre to check along with her mum, you could feel her heart pounding in her chest from fear of the unknown. they check the list and fould she was number 6 from 167 students and they only choose 5, her heart sunk for she was only 1 mark away from being choosen. the school was very strict and they don't go back on their word. although her mum had a disappointment look she tired to support her all the way, later that evening her father found out about the results he was furious he lectured her for hours. now the only option was to get admitted on the school she was the previous year. February came and kris was in a navy blue skirt with tacks and a white long sleeved shirt hair put back she was off the school, when she arrived the atmosphere was rather difficult even though she has been at this school for seven years already there was something different about this year. she saw some of her old classmates who came to greet her, ' hey Kris welcome back, we thought you were going to st Mary's school, no I didn't make the cut, so am here which class will you be in? asked one of the friends , I don't know yet . 8 th grade only had two classes A for HOME ECONOMICS and B for ART CLASS. if you go to the H.E teacher she will put you in her class come on let's go . Kris wasn't a fan of home economics so while her friends decided for her she was contemplating inside.instaed of going to the H.E teacher she went to the Art teacher who immediately told her to go to class B. when she entered she realised that class B was an almost boys class it was filled with not only the good boys but bad boys as well, actually a lot were bad boys, the girls were only less than 20 from a class of 47 students. after lessons Kris went to meet up with her best friends, she had a small circle of less than 10 friends who have been with her since she was a kid. liscar, Ruth, Nancy,minx, Daniel, MOMO,John and Haggai, these were the only people she trusted. although MOMO and Daniel qualified for the school they wanted so this year they were not at the same school, but they kept in touch. Kris and her friends had lunch together, and hours later they first day of school was done. how was school? asked her mum , it was ok am in art class and pretty happy that I at least have my friends. don't worry this year will be full of surprises. the next weeks she kept on studying and catching up on notes for the first month, she would get punished by teachers here and there for being behind with notes, she enjoyed science and geography most , English and history language came came in naturally and Art was a fun subject to have.
