Moving across the ditch to Australia didn't seem far but it did to me. I was leaving everything behind in New Zealand for my Dad's stupid job and his total slut of a girlfriend Cocoa who by the way has massive blonde extensions hanging over a pair of nasty double F's, and to make it worse she calls me 'Lil Bitch' for some reason. To be honest I didn't know what Dad saw in her. All I saw was a whore who only ever bludged for money. I definitely new who the 'Lil Bitch' was around here and it was so not me.
We were moving to Melbourne in Victoria down a street called Glenroy which was just a couple of blocks away from the school I would be going to called Penola Catholic College. I was so nervous to be moving over here, I'd have to make a new start and it was even harder because I knew nobody. I would be classed as the 'new girl'. I just hoped I didn't make a complete ass wipe of myself.
Dad pulled up to our new house that Cocoa Picked out. I don't know how she does it but she seemed to have him tangled around her little finger for everything. I hate to think what there intimate life involved. Gag why did I even think about that. The house looked pretty flash and modern. Cocoa showed me to my room which was downstairs and it turned out that I really loved it. I couldn't believe it, she had actually got something right but I still hated her. My room was self confined with a kitchen, bathroom, small lounge and a huge double bed. It even had it's on front door that led out to a small porch beside a bright blue pool. I was really happy, at least I didn't have to listen to Cocoa go on and on about what she wanted and needed to have upstairs. I had my own house downstairs. Cocoa pulled me down to have a chat. What does she bloody want now? I thought to myself. "Look I know you don't like me very much" very much, that was an understatement I thought in my head, "but we have to make this work, at least try and get along for your Dad's sake Lil Bitch." I looked at Cocoa as she waited for a reply but I didn't believe a word she had said she was just as fake as she looked. I replied stuck up, "OK Cocoa what ever you want." I new she had been told that a lot in her lifetime. "And by the way my names Nicki,"I added at the end with a smirk. She smiled at me with a disgusting look on her face and strutted out of my new bedroom on heels the length of my arms. I just hoped they would snap off and go up her ass. I also spotted the hugest cameltwa I had ever seen in my life as she reached the top of the stairs and turned around. I mean there was nothing worse than witnessing a 35 year old woman with a bad case of Hungry Fanny Syndrome. I cringed away and looked at my clock. 11.00pm already, it had taken way longer to unpack than I had thought. Giggling came from upstairs between my Dad and Cocoa so I knew that was time for me to go to bed unless I wanted to be disturbed any further. I had a shower, whipped my summer Pyjamas on and got into my bed and put my headphones in. The sheets felt like heaven, causing me to drift off into a deep sleep.
"Wake up, wake up, it's your first day of Penola." I wiped the sleep from my eyes as the blazing hot sun singed through my window. I forgot how hot Australia could be no wonder why there were so many tan people here. Ugg it was Cocoa waking me up. "Your Dad had to go to work early this morning so he asked me to wake you up." I looked at my alarm clock. "Oh my gosh Cocoa, it's nearly 9am school starts then!" I shouted at her. "Well your 16 years old you should be able to get up on your own," she replied as if she didn't have a care in the world. "Don't turn this around on me Cocoa," I snapped at her as I put my Penola uniform on. In the back of my mind I knew she did it on purpose. She's been trying to get rid of me ever since she got together with my Dad. I grabbed my stuff and rushed upstairs out the door ignoring the thing following me. Sometimes I just wish I could punch her in the face and give her the meanest bung eye she has ever seen in her life. I just hoped I wasn't late on my first day.
I got to the school at exactly 5 minutes to 9am. It really helped only living two blocks away. I walked into the front office fixing my long brunette hair up and straightening my uniform to look maybe half descent. There was a tall guy standing there talking to a teacher in depth about something. It sounded like a maths equation. The office secretary called me up to the front desk and welcomed me to the school. She called the boy over who was talking to the teacher to show me around the school for my first day as she handed me my timetable. The boy walked over and introduced himself shaking my hand. "Hey I'm James Yammouni nice to meet you." I replied trying not to sound to nervous. "Hey James, I'm Nicki Hayes." "That's a cool name like Nicki Minaj." He laughed as I smiled back. He opened the door and urged for me to go first. I stepped out of the office into a school of about 2000 people walking around the concrete area. It was much bigger than I expected, we only had just over 200 people back home. James began to make conversation as he led me past groups of girls giggling about. "So where are you from Nicki?" "Uhhm, New Zealand can you not here the difference in my accent?" I laughed. "Yeah kind of haha," said James. "Well your accent definitely has an Aussie twang to it." I said smiling up to James. "Haha, so what's your first class?" James said staring at me. I looked down to my timetable sheet and saw Media Studies. "Uhhm Media Studies." I replied to him. "Oh cool that's what I have first, I'll show you the way then shall I?" James said almost flirtatiously. James was the type of guy I thought I had known forever but really I had only known him for half an hour. James led me to a class room in a small building at the back of the school. He pulled the door open and led me into the room. Everyone was silent as I walked in. They were all staring at the 'new girl'. The teacher came up to me and talked with such enthusiasm, "You must be Nicki Hayes, the new student, I'm so happy to have you in my class. My names Mr G." "Hello Mr G," I said to the short blonde man trying not to laugh. He was gay, I was almost positive about it. Mr G began to talk again, "James take Nicki to sit with you today down the back." "Yip sure," he replied excitedly. As we sat down in the desks I could tell that James had such a nice personality.
The bell rang for Lunch time. James took me to his table in the cafeteria where I met his friends. "Hey guy's what's up, James said to the four other boy's sitting down, this is Nicki Hayes, she's new from New Zealand." I waved at them all with a smile. "Hey babe, a guy with huge arms and a piercing said to me, I'm Daniel Sahyounie." "Hi Daniel, it's really cool to meet you." I said trying to be cool. "Wow that's a Kiwi accent you got right there, said the boy sitting next to Daniel, I'm Beau Brooks anyway." He got up and shook my hand over the table of food. I just laughed and smiled he was really cute and he had the nicest eyes ever. I looked over to the last two boys. Suddenly I got a small fright. They looked exactly the same except some freckles placed differently and one of them had a lip pierced. Then I realized, "Oh my gosh your twins aren't you." I said looking over at them. "Yeah haha, one of the twins began to say. I'm Luke Brooks and this is Jai, so now that I have told you which is which don't get it wrong in the future OK?" he said jokingly. "Haha don't worry I won't I have two twin cousin's, so I'm like a pro at that stuff," I smiled. "So you two are Beau brothers, I'm guessing then," I said pointing at Jai and Luke. "Yeah unfortunately," said Jai laughing. "HEY! you better sleep with one eye open you dick." Everybody laughed around the table. "Ooohhh I'm so scared," replied Jai teasingly as he hid behind my back. I could see that this group was a bit full on, but it was quite crack up. As I was having a conversation with Luke I couldn't help but stare at him even when he wasn't looking at me. He was so attractive and had such a sassy and humorous personality that was different to Jai. Jai was more of the shy and cute innocent one. As I kept talking to Luke and everyone around the table three girls walked into the cafeteria in skin bearing cheer leading outfits. They looked like the school's class A bitches. The one in the front had red hair, but I must say was really pretty and the two in the back looked like her little followers, they were both blonde to and looked dumber as could be. "Hey babe," the red head said to Jai planting a kiss on his lips as she sat down on his lap. I was shocked, they were an item, but they did make a really cute couple. She then stared towards me looking me over before she began to speak. "Hey I'm Ariana Grande, how are you?" she said in the bubbliest voice ever. Well that was way nicer than I expected I thought to myself. "Hi Ariana, I'm Nicki Hayes," I replied to her shaking her hand. "Who are your friends standing behind you," I asked her. "Oh I'm so sorry for not introducing them. That is Maddison and Bianca." I waved at them but they didn't wave back they looked like they had better places to go and be. As I sat there talking to everyone around the table and getting to know them, I thought this is not such a bad place to be.
The last school bell rang for the end of the day. Everybody rushed out of the school madly to get out. I started to walk home on the street when I heard my name being called out. I turned around to see Daniel, James, Luke, Beau and Jai and Ariana walking hand in hand. Luke yelled out to me, "Nicki, slow down girl walk with us!" I stopped on the path and waited for them to catch up. Luke came up beside me. I couldn't help but blush for some reason. " So where do you guy's live?" I said looking over to Luke on my left. "We just live up here on the right, Luke said pointing to a brick house. "Your not that far away from me I'm just up three more houses," "Better lock your windows then, I know where you live." For a minute there I thought Luke was being serious, but then he burst out in the cutest laugh ever. "I playfully pushed him, " hahaha your so funny aren't you." Luke came in behind me and whispered, " the funniest." I didn't know what we were doing but I liked getting to know him. He had this wicked personality that practically just made me swoon over him. Reality then kicked back in as Beau was trying to get my attention, "hey Nicki are you with us haha?" Beau waved his hand over my face. "Yeah sorry I was just day dreaming." "Well stop day dreaming, Beau said sarcastically, "do you want to come over tonight and watch a movie with us boy's and a couple others? Its a horror, he said trying to scare me. "I'm sure Luke won't mind you hiding in his arms. "Shut the hell up you dickhead, Luke said hitting Beau over the head with his arm. I couldn't help but laugh. "Uhhm yeah sure I'll be around at like 6pm, anything to get away from my step mum." "Why don't you like your step mum?" Daniel said. "Lets just say she is a real bitch." They cracked up at me. "Anyway I'll see you guy's tonight." While I was walking away I felt like eyes were piercing into my back. I turned around to catch Luke staring at me. He then quickly looked away when our eyes met. My stomach got those girly butterflies you get when you really like a boy. I wondered what would go down at the Brooks house tonight?
