Chapter 1 Meeting a Stranger.
Sarah sat in her corner of the class crouching on her desk. A pile of books lay in front of her to block anyone from looking at her face. She fought this internal force within her that kept on reminding er that she had looks which could not please anyone.
Blackberry High School was a beehive of activities with students making stories of how their holiday had been. Zenith, Sarah's friend had failed to attend school on this particular day as they had gone to a vacation abroad with her family.
She did not have the courage to approach any other student to make friends with. Her grandparents who were middle class workers did everything they could to keep her in school. As a student who did not like attention, she always sat at the back of the class which was reserved for the students who were considered to be jokers.
Teachers always focused on the A students to set their pace and the D and E students to ensure that their mean score was high. As a C student, most of the teachers did not know her. Her home was located in the Eastville ghetto and she could walk to school despite most of the students being driven to and from the school.
Her grandparents always motivated her to keep on working hard and excel in her studies so as not to end up tilling peoples' farms in her old age as she did. She kept on wishing that her friend Zenith would have been around so that they could share the juicy stories that had accumulated during the school holidays.
She did not have a phone to communicate with her friend and in this case, she had a lot to unburden from her little chest. The teachers had a staff meeting to prepare for that semesters lessons and she felt very bored. Zenith had been her desk mate for as long as she could remember.
They were in their final year of school and a lot of reading was required of them. She had spent most of her free time reading and the noise that emanated from her classroom was so loud that she resulted to just sit and stare in to space.
She placed her back pack on Zeniths sit and removed a book from it, opened it and placed it on her desk in case any teacher arrived to punish the noise makers and the lazy ones. Just then the teacher entered her classroom with a young man in tow.
"Good morning, this is Edward, he will be a student in this class," the teacher. Sarah's stare was transfixed on her desk. This did not matter to her. Just then the teacher called out her name and told her to sit with the gentleman as there were no extra desks.
She shuddered at the idea of the gentleman knowing her within the first day. Her classmates had failed in various occasions in associating themselves with her as she formed this shell around her. The walls were so strong that nobody would break past it. She mostly wore unfashionable clothes in a bid to look uninteresting and to seem dull.
