Nikita Rose Darling

Nikita's POV

I sat with my head in my hands, sighing as i thought about the day that was ahead of me. I was NOT looking forward to it at all. I couldn't help but sighed again as i waited for my little sister Nadine to finish getting changed. She took forever to find an outfit, that it was ridiculous. My brother Ryder had thrown on the first thing his hands had touched, checking once in the mirror to see if it matched, before making it downstairs to wait patiently for his sisters in the TV room, watching some sport that he had missed out on. Life in the Darling house hold began in it's usual manner.

"Nadine! Come on! We're going to be late okay! If you don't hurry up, you're going to HAVE to take the bus in" I threated my sister, even though I knew that I would wait forever for her. A huffy response came from the upstairs landing.

"In a minute sis'! I'm just going to grab my jacket and I am done!" her sister answered lightly.

Ryder walked in, backpack in hand, running a careless hand on his number four cut hair style. His usual do since he had his first hair cut after his first birthday. I watched as he scraped my keys off the kitchen table, walked to the front door, indicating that he was going to be driving today. I had no problems with that. He had just gotten his driver's license and was such a great driver, i didn't mind letting him perfect his some-what-natural skill.

"Wow so Rydie sounds like his ready for his first day at this new school. Can't believe mum made us move again; new house, new region, new school. I wonder if we'll actually be here long enough to make friends this time around" her sister's sarcasm dripping from her mouth towards me.

"Looks like it" I said with an unimpressed voice at my little sister's comments, which was very true indeed. However if their mother had been home and had overheard that, she would know her mother would be tackled with guilt and everything else. She didn't want that to be happening right now.

Her mother had left school hours ago to fix up her new offices and make sure it was ship-shape to accept her first stream of clients.

Rachel's POV

"Class we have a new student with us today. Would you like to come up here Nikita and introduce yourself to your new student body?" Mister Gale ask the naturally stunning and beautiful girl, with her long dark brown hair that reach half way down her back, her dark brown eyes held your attention easily without any effort, they stared at you like you were the most important person in the world to her. She had the longest legs, and she knew that she must be a dancer, by the way she gracefully walked (no glided) down to the seat that was directed to her by Finn Hudson.

"Hey everyone! I'm Nikita Rose Darling. I've just arrived here from Sydney Australia. So clearly I don't have much knowledge with things down here. New suburb, new house, and my mum just opened a new practice. So again. HELLO everyone" she said with such confidence and what sounded like amusement in her voice.

The class greeted her happily and was very welcoming. "Hello Nikita, welcome to America/ USA/ Ohio" and whatever else they had all called out to the new girl.

She was very liked indeed. Even Quinn Fabray and Santana seemed to greet her nicely. Probably eyeing her to join the Cheerios, but I had a feeling that she didn't need any title to make her the most popular girl in school. She could wear the draggiest clothes and people would still naturally gravitate towards her like she was the sun.

I think things will be very interesting from now on, she thought to herself. Yes indeed, she agreed with herself.

FINNs POV

I looked in awe at how beautiful Nikita was; she effortlessly gained the attention of both the female and male students in the school. I snuck glances in her direction, trying not to make it so obvious that I was eyeballing her the entire time that she had saw next to me. It was hard not to stare at her; she just naturally grabbed your attention without meaning to be the centre of attention.

I found that she was so focused and oblivious to all the stares that everyone was throwing her direction, and it made me smile. So I assumed that she was very smart and did really well with all her grades. I watched as she scribbled notes on what the teacher was speaking about, asked the right questions and answer many as well. She was definitely not scared to show people that she had brains, as well as a pretty face.

Even the Cheerio girls wanted to befriend her and would definitely be recruiting her into their team soon, and I was sure that she would look even sexier than Quinn or Santana looked in their cheer leading outfits.

"Hi Nikita. I'm Finn Hudson. Just thought I would introduce myself before you get swarmed with everyone trying to get your attention and all" I had hoped that my voice sounded strong, and not a hint of nerves slipped out.

She eyed my clothes; my usual jeans, t-shirt, with my red and white team jacket.

"Hey nice to meet you Finn. So what sport do you play?" she asked me curiously, eyeing my jacket once again.

"I'm the quarterback of the football team, and also captain the basketball team" i said with pride streaming from my voice.

"Aren't you all for leadership" her smile radiating off her, making her even more beautiful than anyone had a right to be.

"Looks like it" I replied coolly, the bell sounded off then. I watched as she gave a little wave before walking towards her class.

Nikita POV

Wow, I thought to myself. Why had i been trying to avoid going to school today, complaining so much to mum, that she tried to avoid me when she saw me heading towards her direction. Don't get me wrong; my mother WAS ALWAYS there for us kids, even more so when she broke her sixteen years of marriage to our father.

Class seemed really good, and the students seemed to also take a liking to me, which was really nice, and made settling in even easier. I loved how the cheer leaders seemed to eye me nicely, and assume that I would be asked to join the squad by the end of the day. And that really good looking guy named Finn was nice to me as well, which was nice, but he really wasn't my type, which kinda sucked a little, but oh well. They could be really great friends anyhow.

"Hey I'm Rachel Berry. What class do you have?" asked a beautiful brunette girl. I could see by the look in her eyes that she was trying to scope me out; I was really flattered by it all.

"Hey I'm Nikita Darling" I said coolly wondering what she wanted from me. "I'm off to English now, with Mrs Brown. How about you, what class do you have?"

"Advanced English as well" the girl literally beams in my direction that I would need sun glasses to waft off some of the glare. "Mind if we walk together?"

"Sure sound great. Now I won't have to keep a close eye on my map" I laughed and showed her the map that I was about to open up. Really, she had memorized every direction her classes were going to be, when she had been shown around by the administration lady before school had begun.

Still i followed the girl, trying to pay attention to everything the girl was saying. She spoke as fast as my mother did when she got really excited about something.

Quinn's POV

I watched as the badly dressed girl I have dubbed 'man hands' for the pure reason to make her feel bad about herself. At least i didn't call her anything as bad as Santana the 'bitch' would throw in her direction. Now she could really be fouled mouthed and nasty.

"Hello, I'm Quinn Fabray, Nikita isn't it?" I asked her coolly even though I knew it was hard not to forget her name, as unique as it was.

"I've got a spare seat next to me" I offered her the table next to me which I usually left for the best, but Nikita was definitely the exception here. She was fabulous, in her nice clothes, though she would never admit that to anyone.

Everyone eyed them, knowing fair well that everyone was wondering where the new girls allegiance lay. With the beautiful elite cheer leader, or the underclass Rachel Berry. It wasn't like Rachel was ugly or anything. It was actually because people were jealous of how beautiful, smart and talented she really was, it was either beat her down or get beaten. The latter was no contender in her books.

"Yeah sure thing" she answered me nicely, but also added in with confidence. "I also want to sit near Rachel as well, she seems pretty cool" but it was obvious that everyone would have to be reshuffled for that to be possible to make room for both girls to sit as well. It didn't seem to faze the newcomer, as people's mouths dropped around them.

"Well there's only room for you" I gestured to the table and chair in the middle of Santana and I. The girl looked at the chair, and shrugged her shoulders lightly, as she saw that there was no other chairs around, but the one they were offering, and the one that Rachel usually sat in.

"Okay, well speak to you later hey Rachel?" she offered lightly to a nodding Rachel, who had walked to the front of the class.

"So how are you finding your first day at school?" I asked her curiously, knowing fair well that she was getting royalty treatment by everyone she had graced her presences with already. It just wafts from her like you wouldn't believe.

"It's been great so far. Everyone has just been totally fantastic. I couldn't have asked for anything better for a first day" she answered with such happiness in her voice. It was hard not to like the girl that sat looking back at me.

"Well that's good to hear. People here can be very accommodating if you are in the right group of circles" I answered coolly, wanting her to like me very much. I could see true potential in a friendship.

"Yeah I bet. I don't really belong to anything. I love to be part of everything, and like to be friends with everyone. I don't take bad attitude very well. I like the places I hang out to be neutral and a friendly environment, that's what I live off" she said with such confidence, that I knew she got that respect easily. She didn't need to change the way she acted or the way she looked to gain anything, and I also guessed that she felt very comfortable in her own skin.

People didn't seem to be all that surprised on what the new girl had to say, knowing that she was going to be making things very interesting around here now.

Rachel's POV

Everyone in the entire class had heard what the new girl had said, and I hoped that it would be a trend that everyone would adapt to easily. Maybe this new girl was like a coming of light, to bring all worlds together finally. Even the teacher seemed to pay attention to what the girl was saying, and I knew that news about her would be buzzing around the school like fire.

Quinn seemed very into her as well, nodding like her words were gospel, something that she had never seen the blond haired girl do before. She was always the one commanding the attention of the room, thinking that she was above everyone else.

But this Nikita, she didn't seem to have to work very hard to gain the affections and attentions of the people around her. They just did. She definetly was something special. And boy was she smart, smarter than anyone I have ever known. Probably even smarter than Arty.

The bell rang as Mrs Brown had finished explaining our new assessment and was handing out a piece of paper about group sittings and the roles we were going to have to play.

I was with Quinn, Santana and Nikita. I was both happy and sad about all this. Happy that Nikita would be sharing her wealth of knowledge with them and sad because I knew the two cheerleaders would be hogging her presence. I frowned as I watched Nikita packing her bag nicely, making sure everything was in their right.

"Hey Rachel. We're going to be hanging out a lot! This is going to be so much fun!" she beamed at me, and Quinn and Santana made a face, saying that they wished that 'man hands' wasn't going to be bringing their perfectly great group down a notch with her presence. And what surprised me to the hilt, is what Nikita said after she had heard it.

"It is going to be so wonderful, don't you think girls? We can have sleepovers at each others houses and become the greatest of friends" she linked one of her arms to mind and another to Quinns who was closer than Santana and walked over to the lunch room.

Mouths were gapping as the our foursome surprised everyone, but I guess they already knew that Nikita was the benefactor of such a union. The cheerleaders would never be caught dead any near me. Nikita smiled at everyone beautiful, saying hello to everyone that waved at her.

"So what's good to eat here?" she asked, sitting down at the best table in the cafeteria. Definetly showing that she had the right to sit where ever the hell she wanted to. And she made sure that I was going to be going along for the ride.

"Salad's are nice" Quinn said with a smile, which only made Nikita's smile brighten with amusment.

"No Quinn, I meant: What is GOOD to eat here?" she grinned at the stunned blond girl who began to crack up laughing in amusement.

"I really like you" Santana said to her, laughing along with Quinn.

"There are nice hamburgers" a good looking boy with big guns and Mohawk smirked at her, sitting on across from her.

"Well thanks. I've freaken starving!" I huff at them and stood up to get the said food.

Noah Puckerman POV

She was the most stunning girl I had ever seen. Dressed better than any of the girls I had ever seen, just like she had come out of one of those commercials for clothes. What also surprised me, was the company that she had drawn around her.

Rachel Berry mixing it with the teenage sluts? She must be incredible to create such a union. In the universe he was used to, they definitely wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near her, scared of cursing their social status. But this day, all signs had seemed to be demolished but that stunning person's presence.

"Salads are nice" Quinn said with a smile, which only made Nikita's smile brighten with amusement.

"No Quinn, I meant: What is GOOD to eat here?" she grinned at the stunned blond girl who began to crack up laughing in amusement.

"I really like you" Santana said to her, laughing along with Quinn.

"There are nice hamburgers" I said to her, making sure to flex my big guns as I walked tall and proud, smirking at her, sitting on the seat across from her.

"Well thanks. I've freaken starving!" I heard her huff at us before watching her stand up to get the said food.

I smirked at her, really amused that she would eat such a meal and be very proud of it too. He bit into his own burger and shoved a handful of chip into my mouth.

"She seems nice" I told everyone with a smirk, eyeing the different pairs of eyes around the table. I didn't even think anyone realised that it was such an unbelievable scene to see.

"Yeah she is great!" Quinn and Rachel gushed to me excitedly, finally finding an obvious ground they had never been able to find since Quinn had started school in grade eight.

"She would fit in everywhere" Santana said in a nice voice? WTF? This new girl definitely had some sort of healing power or some shit!

"Her name is Nikita Rose Darling" Finn answer the question in his mind, both of them eyeing her with such interest. So I guessed that Finn likes her too! He thought in dismay.

He ALWAYS got everything he wanted. He frowned for a second, before biting more of his burger, hiding his emotions behind his grumbling stomach.

FINN POV

I sat next to my best friend, eyeing him carefully as I now knew that he had the same eye for the new girl like I did. I frowned in dismay as I knew that she would probably like him better, the bad boy act always seemed to catch the girls off their toes.

"Matches her perfectly" Puck said, his eyes never leaving the gorgeous figure that was walking back towards them, talking to that Asian girl animatedly.

"Shove over Quinn" Quinn did so, making room for the Asian girl to sit down and chow with her.

"Gosh I am starving" and proving this, she bit into her burger and moaned in delight as she chewed the delicious burger. "You are right! Ah what did you say your name was?" she asked Puck, turning to him slightly, before tucking back into her burger.

"Noah Puckerman, but everyone calls me Puck because of my hockey skills" he smirked, obviously knowing that it was because of his last name he was called Puck and not because of his immaculate hockey skills.

"Way to go! You play hockey too! I was captain for my local team" the gorgeous girl beamed happily to be able to connect with Puck over hockey.

"Yeah what position do you play?" he asked curiously, glad to have something in common with her.

"Centre" she said proudly, brushing off her hands on her napkin and taking a sip of her milkshake. "What do you play?" she was really interested in what he had to say.

"Centre as well" she held out her hand to bump his, and she smirked back when he complied. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch and the start to their next class.

Nikita Rose Darling was definitely full of surprises.

she gave a little wave before walking towards her class.
