The Boarder

Chapter 1

Camari POV

So it's Monday morning meaning I have to go to school, I'm not a big fan of school neither do I hate it.

I get up from bed at 5:30 do my Monday School routine, at 7:00 I'm finished look at myself once more in the mirror, I just need to have breakfast and I'm off to school, so I head downstairs, I hear my dad and mum discussing in hushed tones in the dining which is weird, really weird but I decided to shrug it off.

"Good morning" I said.

"Morning" Dad said.

"Good Morning sweetie" Mom said.

I take my seat and Debrah brought my breakfast which were tea and chocolate filled croissants. Dad and Mum kept eye contact and nodding their heads to me mouthing words to each other which again is weird,  thankfully mum decides to give in and talk.

"So...Camari" Mum spoke.

"Yes mother" I answered.

"Your father and I are going back to Nigeria very soon" Mum said.

"Oh....why" I asked.

"Your mum and I business clients are in the country" Dad answered.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this means I get to go to the Boarding house of my private school yep that's it victory dance..........all happening in my head of course.

"Ok but what's going to happen to me" I asked already knowing the obvious answer.

"Oh I thought you would already know the answer to that" Dad said.

"Well what I'm concluding on should be the answer but I want and need to be assured that what I'm concluding on is right" I said, even though I already know the answer.

Dad smiled.

"Well you'll be going to the Boarding House of your School" Mum answered the question.

"Oh okay" I said.

Its offical I'm going to the boarding house!!!

"Debrah will be going with us" Mum said.

     Debrah is our maid, a sweet woman if you ask me, she's Nigerian so are we but the thing is the tribe my parents and I come from is called Igbo while Debrah tribe is called 'Yoruba', My parents and I neither understand nor speak Yoruba and Debrah can't speak fluent English so my parents permitted her to speak 'Pidgin', Pidgin language is what Nigerians use to communicate with each other if they don't understand each other tribe language.

"Ah... madam, you fi allow me make I go shop tomorrow make I get things I fi give my people dey no go happy if I come Nigeria with nothing I no want am be like say I go Dubai I don forget them" Debrah asked Mum.

(Translation: Ma'm, can you allow me to go to a shop tomorrow so I can have things to give my siblings and parents they won't be happy if I come to Nigeria with nothing I do not want it to be like I came to Dubai and I forgot them).

"Sure you fit, we dey go lets say Wednesday so make you dey start to pack now now " My mum told her

(Translation: Sure you can, we are going lets say Wednesday so start packing your things.)

"Ok, thank you madam." Debrah thanked my mum.

"Ok then I'll be on my way, bye" I said checking my Apple watch which read 7:30.

"Bye Camari" They both said.

"Bye Father, Bye Mother" I said.

     With that I left for school, the chauffeur took me to school whose also a Nigerian. His name is Chukwuemeka but we call him Emeka, he's igbo, to school from home was a 20 minutes drive, I said bye to Emeka after we arrived at school.

     I walk into the school greeting parents, teachers, and staff as I pass them, going to where my first period will be held which was Mathematics, I get in there and saw where the gang were seated who were boarders, yeah meaning I was the only day student in the gang but not for long though, I do hope this isn't gonna attract any problems cause in school any slight change of you or around you can cause problems for you or for the people around you so like I hoped, this, please, should not cause any problem for me or the gang. Cause our Protector A.K.A my brother bas graduated but luckily he thought us things we can use to stand up for ourselves, prevent problems for ourselves, and also make people think twice before messing with us.

"Wassup homies" I said to the gang.

     The gang, so this gang consists of Akilah, Michelle, Ashley, Edward, Brent, Brian and Me, we all met 7th grade and you know...we just clicked I guess.

"Hey" Brent and Ashley both said.

"Sup" Brian said.

Edward just looked at me and gave me a smile.

"Bitchhh wassup" Michelle said.

"How you doing gurll" Akilah asked.

"I'm good." I said

"So I'm gonna be a boarder by Wednesday or Thursday cause my parents are travelling." I told them.

"That's nice" Edward said.

"Okay" Brent said.

"Oh isn't that just nice i get to see your excuse of a face 24/7 now, oh I'm so blessed." Brian said being jokingly sacarstic as always.

"Well if you look at the bright side i get to beat your ass whenever you do something stupid 24/7 now wait... i think that's supposed to be me looking at the bright side but there is no dark side to this for me" I said "Oh too bad" I shrugged as i stuck my tongue out at him.

"Yeah. Too bad. Too bad Camari. Too bad for me" He said.

I shrugged and smiled at him.

"We're gonna be roomates" Akilah and Ashley with Michelle said.

"Duhhh" I said.

"Oof I can't wait" Michelle squealing.

"Yeah me too" Brian being sarcastic.

I just rolled my eyes at him cause its just early in the morning and  for being such a sarcastic being notice how i said 'being' and not 'human being' cause there's no way I'm classifying that boy as the same specie as me, with that the bell rang and the teacher came in being Mr. Ahmed hence the commencement of a good 1 hour 20 minutes of boredom.
