- I'd like to point out straight off that I do not own the character Donnie Darko, he is a film character from the film Donnie.
I don't want comments that say "omfg there's no such character as Nimueh in the story" and "Donnie loves Gretchen and doesn't like other girls".
In my story there is no Gretchen instead there is Nimueh the new British/Irish transfer student ^-^ -
Nimueh Earnshaw was a new student at Middlesex High School. The school was grand but not as big as her previous she mulled as she walked through the now filling up car park. She had transferred to this school when her parents moved to Virginia, America from Britain. Her father was in the military so moving around a lot was not uncommon for her and her family, but moving completly to the other side of the world was a big step. In compromise her parents let her get a second ear piercing and dye the front part of her hair blue, leaving the back half black and longer than the front.
Nimueh regretted it though. The second piercing that is, as she fiddled with it knowing it was infected. As she continued her journey to the office at the front of the school from where her 'mom' dropped her off at the gate. She sensed people were looking at her, which puzzled her deeply as she wasn't exactly dressed out of the ordinary. She wore her old, ratty black converses with her split colour skinny jeans, her Amnesty International top and her black skin-tight hoodie. Slung over her right shoulder was her Sex Pistols rucksack she had aquired from a dirt-cheap market stall.
She ascended the steps and walked into the long hallway, she breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike her previous school, a Private Military Boarding school for girls, this one had directions and they were easy to read. In no less than 5 minutes she had found herself in the office reception and was waiting for the receptionist to get back and give her, her new timetable and map of the school. "Will you be alright Miss...um Earnshaw?" the stereotypically old-motherly woman looked over her glasses at her. Nimueh nodded. She wasn't one for socializing and got anxious when she had to talk to new people. She noticed the lady was waiting for a response so she nodded. "Well I passed orientering so I'm sure I'll cope" she smiled as she passed through the door and into the hallway.
Nimueh looked at the timetable as she pulled her headphones out of her pocket. Her first lesson was Biology. The school had obviously recieved her previous grades from her old school and so decided she was fit to do the three sciences, of which Biology was her faverite. She had no problem with disection. She was the only girl in her class who hadn't fainted or went pale at the thought of handling a pigs heart or getting her finger stuck into its trachea. Looking at the map she made her way to lesson, walking along listening to Pantera as she went.
When she had found the right class, Nimueh tentively knocked on the door. This is what she hated the most about turning up halfway between term. Everyone had already had their seating arrangement and knew who they liked and didn't like and had already formed their own little clique's. When she heard a man booming enter, she pushed the door open and progressed through the door.
