As they walk down the crowded hallway alone, all the other kids looks at them making them feel like an outcast. The hallway is extremely long, and the lockers are black and yellow, the walls are all yellow, and the floors are made out of marble and has a dark green color to it. The school has so many football trophies displayed inside a glass cabinet near the lockers. Mala assumes the trophies is from the sport group, Chris's team. The thought of Chris kept replaying in her mind seeing his cute eyes and handsome figure.
"I didn't know coming to an American school was gonna make us feel so left out," Trenti said.
"I didn't either," Martia said.
"This is so uncomfortable," he said.
"Mala, everyone hates us," Martia said.
"No, they doesn't, we just look different, and it will take some time getting used to," she said, walking to their lockers and grabs their speech book.
The Agarwals only has that class together, and the rest of the classes they are on their own.
"HEY," someone shouted at the Agarwal family trying to get their attention. "HEY YOU FOREIGNERS?"
The Agarwals could not make out who is calling them out like that and it made them feel frantic and uncomfortable.
"Who is that making fun of us?" Martia asked, feeling sad.
"I don't know, but I'm sure as hell going to find out," Mala said, looking around the hallway way.
"HEY, OVER HERE," someone said, and Mala's observation came to a stop and finally notices another group of popular kids with six girls and two boys. The blonde skinny tall girl with the long ponytail us the one that is getting their attention.
"OVER HERE," they said, waving their hands appointing them into their direction.
The Agarwals gets nervous, and scared. "Should we go over there or not? I think they are bullies," Martia asked.
"I don't know, but if they try anything, I will protect us, don't worry Martia," Mala informs, and they walk towards the group further down the hall, and as soon as they reaches near them, they stop.
"Hi, are you coming to class with us?" Kathy asked.
The Agarwals was silent for a minute, and Mala is the only one that will talk.
"What class are you going to?" Mala asked.
"Just boring ol speech class with Mr. Alexander. I don't like em, I think he's a bald headed pervert," the girl said, and the Agarwals starts laughing.
"I'm Kathy, this is Tommy, Jake, Lisa, Crystal, Sandy, Alice, and Beth," she introduces.
"Hi," They all said.
"Hi," the Agarwals replied back.
"Come with us, don't be a stranger, come," Kathy said, grabbing Mala's hand and they all followes the group into the speech classroom down the hall.
