A/N: Hey all. I wrote this ages ago, probably around 2003 or something but they didn't have a Neighbours section here at fanfiction. It's not that long but I hope you all enjoy it!

Nina cast her eyes over the top of the building in front of her and read 'Erinsborough High School'. Her first day of school in this new city. Ever since she was very young, her life would always consist of moving towns, cities, states, to accommodate her parent's need to perform at gigs all over the country. She had been to so many different schools that the experience of being the new kid to her was just a part of everyday life. Her parents recently signed up for a gig at a local club, and hopefully, she will be able to attend one school for a while without having to move again. She sighed and continued to walk through the gate and into the main building. After a few minutes of wandering around, she found the office and asked the lady behind the desk for a Susan Kennedy. "She should be here soon. Please take a seat and I will tell you when she arrives" she replied, motioning at the seats on the other side of the room.
After several minutes, the lady called for her to go to the next room, and there she met a woman in her late 40's. "Hello Nina. I'm Mrs. Kennedy and I'll be helping you find your way around the school, give you your timetable and all that sort of stuff. Here's your timetable, and a map of the school. It just so happens that you have English with me first period today, so follow me and I'll take you to your first class." Nina followed her down several corridors and a set of stairs into a room full of teenagers, all chatting and catching up with the gossip. The class silenced after the teacher entered the room. "Good Morning class. I hope you all have your essays ready to hand in. We have a new student with us today. Her name is Nina and I hope you make her feel welcome and show her what a caring school we are. Nina, take a seat up here at the front." Nina took a seat next to a girl who turned to face her and smiled. "Hi, I'm Michelle Scully. How are you?" she said. "Nina Tucker. Nice to meet you," she replied. Before the conversation could continue, Mrs. Kennedy started the lesson and they both stopped talking and paid attention.
The end of the period was near and the class had already started to pack up. Michelle turned back to Nina and asked, "Would you like to come with me to recess? I will introduce to you some of my friends and my brother." Nina smiled back and replied, "Sure." Just then, the bell rang and everyone started to make a dash for the door. Nina followed Michelle outside onto the oval where she met up with a girl and two guys. "Hey guys. This is Nina. It's her first day at Erinsborough. Nina, this is Taj, my brother Jack and his girlfriend Lori," said Michelle, pointing at each of her friends. Nina waved and said back nervously, "Hey." She had taken an instant liking to Michelle's brother Jack. She didn't really know why.
A few days later, the group was in the Coffee Shop, when Harold approached them, "Good Morning. What would you like today?" He pulled a notepad and pen out of his pocket and looked at them waiting for their orders. "I'll have my usual thanks Harold," replied Taj. Michelle then piped up and ordered a strawberry milkshake, which Lori requested for as well. Nina stared down at the menu, finding it hard to decide what to get. Jack then leaned over and said, "The lattes here are really nice. I'll have a latte please Harold." Nina looked up, blushed and ordered a latte too. Harold was about to turn and walk away before he suddenly remembered the play. "Oh yes, I just remembered. I'm producing a play. It's a wonderful love story, but we haven't found anybody to play the leads yet. Would any of you like to audition for the parts?" he asked, looking at their faces hopeful. Suddenly, Lori enthusiastically piped up, "That sounds great! When and where's the audition? You guys all want to try out right?" The rest of the gang just stared back at her with blank faces. A huge smile appeared on Harold's face and he replied, "On Sunday, at the community hall, at noon. Oh this is going to be great!" He was still smiling and laughing as he was walking back to the counter.
