It was Andre's first day at Sunny Hill Primary School. Moving from Jamaica all the way to the United Kingdom was strange and new. But really, Andre couldn't wait to make some new friends.

That morning Andre's new teacher Miss Broadbelt introduced him to the class "Good morning Class meet Andre. "He's come a long way to learn here at Sunny Hill! Make him feel welcome." The other kids in the class didn't really pay much attention except for one table of boys...

"Andre! Sit with us!" Exclaimed one boy.

"Yeah yeah Andre sit at the table here we have an extra seat!" Squeaked the other one.

Andre looked over at the table and saw two boys waiting patiently for a response with broad smiles plastered on their faces. 

Andre unsure what to make of their instant friendliness, Nervously walked to the table and took a seat next to one of the boys.

"I'm Dillon but you can call me Dill" whispered the boy in black. 

"My name is Conner the best goalkeeper at Sunny hill, I'm headed to the league" proclaimed the boy in blue.

Dill rolled his eyes and let out a bored "yeahhh right Conner"

"Andre do you play footy?" asked Dill.

"Yeah of course I do" Andre sprang up, "Raheem Sterling is my favorite baller in the league".

Dill looked confused "Sterling? He's okay I guess. Not as good as he used to be though". 

"You should play football with us at lunch time. After we eat they let us play on the field!" said Dill.

Andre was super excited, he couldn't wait to play with his new friends. All he had to do was make it to lunch time. Doesn't seem too hard.

Lets do it!

Just like that the day was flying by and before Andre knew it, he already sat through Literacy, Math and Religious education. Now the bell was ringing to signal Lunch time.

Andre was starving, who would've thought all this learning would make him so hungry.

Andre and his new friends ran to the lunch hall and grabbed their lunchboxes. 

As they all clambered around the table they started to unpack their treasure chests of food.

"EWWWW WHAT... IS THAT!!!!!..." Dill broke out in a scream. He was pointing to Andre's food. 

Andre's Lunch was a bit different to the other children, Andre's mom packed his favorite for his first day at sunny Hill. Jerk Chicken cooked to perfection with his favorite, fried dumplings both soft and tasty all to be washed down with a cold bottle of water.

It looked good to Andre but the other children were not convinced.

Everyone ran over to see Andres box and all of a sudden, hearing the whispers and gasps of disgust made Andre not too sure about his lunch again.

"You're definitely not going pro with that, there's no way you're gonna eat that right Andre?" asked dill.

"Why does it look like your food is dirty?" said a little girl in the corner.

The whole lunch hall broke into laughter and now Andre wasn't happy.

Andre feeling a lump in his throat, knew he wasn't happy and as he left the lunch hall tears started to stream from his eyes.

The rest of the school day slowly grudged on and Andre didn't speak a word. But, in his head it felt like more that 40 people were speaking all at once in his mind...

Why did mom pack that for me?

She should've known not to!

I hate it here!

Why can't I just be normal?

When Andre got home that evening he wasn't happy with his mother "Why would you pack that food for me? Now everyone thinks that I eat dirty food, I want to have lunch like everyone else".
