Chapter one
Nicole P.O.V
All my life I have loved attention, don't embarrass easily so therefore never really had to think twice about anything. So when I wake up in the middle of the night with the urge to cycle to the beach, I march straight downstairs to the alcohol cabinet, grab two bottles and set off.
The fact that I'm wearing an old my little pony t-shirt and y fronts doesn't really bother me as I dismount my bike and take the Bacardi's from the tinsel covered front basket. As far as I could see the beach was deserted. "Shame", I half whispered; I loved the looks people give me, they're absolutely priceless. I throw the bottles then belly flop after them down the sand dunes yelling "callabonga!" at the top of my lungs. I glug down the first then shake the sand from my hair. I rush down to the shore and am met by crashing waves. All I remember after that is larking about in the ocean performing a mix between Swan Lake and the 'cha cha slide', whilst singing an opera version of 'jizzed in my pants'.
This must be a dream because I can feel someone's mouth clamped on mine like a limpet blowing down my throat, I'm pretty sure there's an unnecessary amount of tongue going on in there. My eyelids begin to open, and I look up to see a mop of blonde hair covering my face and two clear blue eyes looking down at me. I wriggle out from under his mouth.
"What do you think you're playing at Mr?!", I slur, looking up and seeing a rather blurred image of what can only be described as the hottest guy in the universe, in joggers, grinning. I look down at my "outfit" and begin to recall last night's charade. I mean, I like attention, but in the presence of this angelic stranger, it's just ever so slightly embarrassing.
I want to bury my face in the sand!
"Erm… err… thanks for whatever that was, but I'd better be going", I manage to stutter. I stumble clumsily to my feet with the aid of this hot strangers hand on my elbow, he began to speak.
"By the way, I wasn't trying anything funny. I honestly thought you were dead", I try very hard not to dribble. I really wouldn't have objected to him trying "anything funny" or however he put it.
I anxiously look around the beach for my "ride", very aware of him eyeing my legs.
"You haven't happened to see a bike lying around anywhere, have you?", I practically have to yell as I power walk up the beach, I can hear him jogging after me stifling a laugh. At least he was finding this amusing.
"You're going to ride a bike through town, during rush hour, wearing that?", now he was actually laughing at me. It was a good job he was gorgeous, because he almost made up for that by being so irritating. It annoyed me more how I cared what he thought.
"Well have you seen it or not? And I was planning on it, yes".
As I clambered to the top of the last sand dune I was surprised to see my bike strapped to the top of a shiny black hummer.
"What the…", I trailed off. I turned to him frantically and saw a sparkling glint in his eye to match his cheeky grin. It was clear he knew exactly how it had gotten there.
"How did… I don't even… are you trying to jack my bicycle?", By now I could hear another person laughing, I turned to see hottie no.1 next to a slightly less hot but still very cute guy. The new one spoke up first.
"Hi, I'm Tyler and this is Reid. Will you be riding to school with us today?"
School? I hadn't even thought about school. To my knowledge there was only one school in Ipswich, which was my new school, Spencer academy. It took me a few minutes to answer.
"I'm Nicole, by the way. And ok, but I need to go home first and change into my uniform and I guess you don't look dangerous so, what the heck... sure".
After directing Tyler to my house from the back seat and doing the odd subtle head nod to a song I vaguely recognized on the radio, we arrived at the huge iron gates of my house.
"I'll be back in like five seconds tops. Honestly, I'll be right back; don't want to be late on my first day an' all". My voice faded as I hastily scampered up to the door and disappeared inside. I took one look at myself in the full length mirror, my eyes seemed to widen in horror. My toenails are black with dirt, my legs are stubbly and pale with grubby knees, my shirt's got a hole in the armpit and in the midst of matted hair is a massive slither of crusty seaweed! I quickly grab a flannel and wipe the smears from my face, whip off my t-shirt, swap my pants and after changing into my uniform, rolling up the skirt a good few inches and putting two plaits in my hair. I feel ready to face the world, and Reid and Tyler, who have been waiting in their car for over forty minutes. Ah well, better late than never, eh?
Reid P.O.V
"Five minutes my ass! How long does it take to put some decent clothes on? Were going to be even later than usual now!", I'm seriously considering stealing her precious bike and riding that to school.
"Oh come on man! You've obviously got the hotts for her, otherwise, if you really thought she was out cold, you would have used your powers. And since when do you care how late we are?", I shot an angry look at Tyler. He was right, I didn't care and maybe he did have a point, but I cannot wait any longer in this car! Seriously what sort of girl rides to the beach in her underwear? I'm still not sure why I "kissed" her, usually I go for blondes. And the look on her face…
"Oh look, here she comes", he announced, disrupting my thoughts
I look up to see a totally different person than almost an hour ago. Whoa she's hot! But I don't think she'll get away with that length skirt for long. Nicole launched herself into the back, flashing her blue cotton panties. I really should stop staring. Oh look, she has a dog!
"Come on guys, get a wiggle on, what are we waiting for?", honestly, what does she think we're waiting for? At least if were late we have an excuse for not watching Pogue and Caleb swimming. I can still hear her chatting away to herself behind.
When we finally arrive at school, Tyler makes up some lame excuse about going to the library, sure he's going to the library! Like I haven't known him my whole life, and I can read his twitchy signs which mean he's not telling me something. Nicole saw me snicker.
"What's that look for?", wasn't it obvious to her?
"I just don't see any reason for him to be going to the library, that's all", I don't know about where she comes from but hanging in the library is not very bad ass here.
"Oh gosh I don't know, why do people usually go to libraries…?"
"Don't worry, anyway don't you have to go see the dean?", if I squint I can make out her bra through her shirt.
"The who?", I can just see the lacy bits now. Wait, what did she just say?
"Reeeid… I said who's the dean?", Where does she come from?
"You know; the dean, the principal, the big guy?", how can it get any clearer, and why is she still looking confused?
"Ok. Can you please show me where I might possibly happen to find this big man then?", maybe while she's gone I can go find out what Tyler's really up to.
