I was shocked when she replied me with * hi *, I smiled at her and I walked slowly to her in a romantic way, I was still expecting her to embrace me before she stepped back and her friends bursts into laughter, I fake a smile also and I said * Alisha how are you doing, have really missed you, ** I watch her friends as they keep whispering to their self, she looked at me from head to toe with disgust and she said ** let meet at the coffee shop before 04:30 ** she walked away not even looking back, I looked at my self from chest to my old old dusty shoe, and I shook my head and I said * it not my fault I was born in the house poverty ** I walked straight to my class, I opened my mouth when I the student in my new class, all of them were glowing like diamond, omo money sweet ooo, I swallowed my spit and I walked gently. To a seat beside the aluminum window, I sat down as I watch most of them discussing with fluent English, I brought out my books and I placed it on the table, I was still enjoying the air condition before a white man came in, I stood up and I said ** Good morning sir, you are welcome to our class may God bless you sir and your family amen ** I was so surprised when I noticed that I was the only one standing up, the class went in total silence and 30 students in the class looked at me as if they saw a ghost, everybody laughed at once including the white man, I was so confused because I don’t think I was wrong by greeting him, the white man said ** silence ** and all the student kept quiet, he looked at me and laughed again and he said.. ** where are you from boy **

White man – so how did you manage to get here,
Jimi – I got here through the scholarship
White man – oh wow, (pointing to the class) guys we have a new brainiac in class now, sit down
