" Baby, hope you all set for school? Your dad would be dropping you off at school" mom said.
" It isn't necessary right?" I asked mom
" Come on babe! It's your first day at your new school! Your dad needs to accompany you, okay!" Mom said.
" Whatever!"
I quickly replied knowing fully well that any further delay would only cause mom and I to start an argument and that was what I never wanted.
" Melinda" dad called as he came down the stairs
" Yes dad" I replied.
" Are you ready? Cause dad is ready to zoom off" Dad said
" Sure" I said and we were about to walk out of the door then mom soon yelled out her name
" Honey! Melinda! You guys are out already without praying huh!" Mom screamed
" Sorry mom" I said
" Sorry honey" dad said
We said some prayers and then left for school.

" Dad, how is my new school like?" I asked
" Uhmm..... it's cool but I think we should get there first and we would know more about the school right?" Dad said
" Whatever! Hasn't it been your nature" I said almost to my self rolling my eyes,dad never liked to answer a question without beating round the bush .
We arrived at the school and headed to the principal's office for my registration.
During the conversation,I got to know that the principal's name was Mr Jones.
The school was named oceanic peak college,it sounded funny though but anyway ,it was going to be my new school after our relocation.
The two adults soon wrapped up their conversation and dad bid me goodbye while principal Jones asked his assistant to show me my class.
As we walked down the hallway,I observed a strange atmosphere at a particular spot, I wondered what that was but I soon shoved the feeling away completely ignoring it.
The hallway was void of any student giving off the feeling that I was late and everyone were in their various classes by now.
Finally,we arrived at class 12, my class.
" Miss Overa, this is your class" the assistant said and stepped into the class while I followed her closely at her back.
" Good morning Mrs Olivia" the students greeted while on their feet
" Good morning my class, you all may have your seats" she said and turned to a teacher who was probably having a hard time teaching the students before we stepped in " Mr Martin, sorry to interrupt your class" she said and faced the students while the supposed Mr Martin gave a slight nod.
" Class,you have a new student" she said and I walked into the class showing my full view.
" Hi, I am Melinda Overa, Mel for short " I said with a warm smile.
Echoes of ' Mel ' ' Melinda ''can I call you Linda?' 'overa' ' I've heard of Overo not Overa' ' nice to meet you' ' hello' soon filled the class.
" Silent!! Mel would be in the science department" Mrs Olivia said and the turned to me " you should sit at that vacant spot over there" she said pointing to an empty seat at the middle row but it was the last at the back.
" Thank you " she said and walked out of the class while I walked over to my new seat.
" Hi" I heard someone say as I walked, I could only give a warm smile which soon faded as I heard another voice,
" Welcome " I heard a baritone voice echo behind me
