The hall was full of silence. Only the sound of the fan being heard.
It was full of students reading their books, waiting for the principal to come and read the big announcement. I can't concentrate on my book, it's not bad, I'm just not in the mood.
Whispers started as the principal finally appeared, is she going to do yet another boring lecture?
The principal, Mrs Mia, tapped the microphone before beginning her announcement.
"Good morning students! Quite sunny today isn't it? Well all of you are gathered here because of what you probably guessed, something important"
The students in sighed a little because they knew it would most likely be something boring. Nap time for some I guess.
Mrs Mia a little disheartened by our response continued in a bit less cheery tone,
"Well as you know, the average person in each class is 40. All classes are filled. Except for 3 classes in the Secondary 3 level. Thats why we accepted 5 foreign exchange students."
She paused for a few seconds to get some thought. She cleared her throat and continued,
"We hope you greet them well. Don't misbehave okay?"
And she bowed and left to go to another meeting.
As all the students rushed out in a hassle, I walked calmly as I knew that this won't affect my high grades. I have good grades but have nothing to do with them.
No dreams to inch nearer to or friends to talk to. Thats life! I sat at my seat, sorting my books. My teacher, Mr. Will, greeted us in a flat tone. Boring. I am a person who is usually attentive , but I couldn't care less today. I know that I was in one of the classes that lack 3 students, how wonderful. The other two only lacked 1 student, why do we bother about the number of students?
The two empty chairs beside her were now occupied by a girl with the most brown and curly hair and the other by a boy with jet black hair that looked messy. And what about the third one? By the window, she had light skin and a face that belonged to a baby. Her hair was black with slight blue highlights.
I didn't focus on their introductions much. All I knew that the girl with brown hair is named Samarah and the boy was named Spencer. The girl with the baby face and blond hair? Didn't remember. I had a bad feeling in my gut.
