Three years ago, I lost my dad, Mom and I had to leave our home and come over to New Orleans. We don't have a huge house, but the little money dad left with us, Mom used it to purchase a house and the remaining balance left she used it to enroll me in school.

At my other school, I wasn't the one you'd call miss popular but the one who'd hide in the shadows and make sure nothing, and no one sees her, including the bullies at the school…

"Baby! Get Ready? "Mom yelled my name all the way from the kitchen, I hear her loudly signing to the song playing on the radio, Jason Gary's, my parent's favorite song, Mom hasn't stop talking about the day she and dad met each other.

I met her dancing with dad's photo at the kitchen table.

"Good morning, Mom," I approached her and touched dad's photo at the table as well. Mom's head turns, she looked at my dress, asking if I am ready for school, I shake my head, going to the refrigerator, I brought out bottled water, and I opened the cap and poured a little to the glass cup next to me.

Mom shifted to me; she didn't like me drinking from the bottle.

To her, it feels strange, and she calls it, bad habit, I don't really think so, if you ask me; drinking from the bottle makes me feel satisfied, but taking the water to the glass, it is just too classy and not for me.

I assisted mom at the kitchen, we both prepared toasted bread and tea, hot steamy tea, I poured water in Mom's glass and then I later did mine.

I walk with the two cups to the breakfast table, I set the cup at mom's chair and move ahead to mine, I kept my cup and also gently sit down to eat.

After I left for school, I walked with the students going into the school gate; I saw many parents by the gate who have the time to take their kids to school; it is not as if Mom didn't have time for me, I just don't want her to walk me to school; I'm almost 18 years of age, in two months' time.

"Sabrina!! Candy, my best friend, call me all the way from her chair; there is an empty chair next to her, I wave her back going there.

"Good morning," I grab the chair and I sit down; Candy smiles looking to the door, I am busy getting my books settled at the table, I then notice that the entire classroom is quiet and calm.

I looked at them and I see everyone's eyes galloping at the new student that just walked inside.

Most especially the girls in class; their eyes immediately get hungry, as the new students walk to one of the empty chair and table at the back of the class close to Muna, our schools Selena.

The new student is a tall, handsome young man with an alpha aura; he has the most beautiful eyes, and his smile can make any girl's heart melt. He looks around the class and then finally settles down the chair beside Muna. I look at Candy.
