A/N: I was bored after watching SNL and making next to normal sims (currently unfinished)

Maybe part 1 of several one-shots of Natalie/Henry? Idk…review por favor

NO I don't own next to normal as much as I wish it were true, I don't .


Henry:

January 2006

-Okay. New year, new me. Screw everyone, I don't care what people think.

-whoa look at that stang! Whoa what's that a 67?

-Damn you ADD! No, this "medical marijuana" will help right? Loosen things up, help me get perspective?

"Class. Class. CLASS! PAY ATTENTION!"

-Well 2006's off to a good start. Mr. Harris hates us already….again. Happy New Year?

"Class, we have a new student joining our…fantastic English period 1."

-Ha, period.

"This is Natalie Goodman. She just moved to Morrison Junior High. Natalie, tell us a bit about yourself."

-Wow. What a smile.

This wasn't just a new girl. This is what Henry knew Love would be. She was it.

"Um, I'm 14. I like to play piano."

-Wow not much of a talker.

"Natalie, you can sit in front of..uh…Henry Carter. Towards the back. Henry? Raise your hand."

-Shit. Shit. Shit! First encounter and I'm a fool. Look less nervous, Henry!

"Hi, I'm Henry."

"Hi." She lightly smiled and turned away.

-Did she just roll her eyes at me? Damn. Tough critic. I'll reach her one day. I know it.

Natalie:

January 2006

-Ok. Monday, January 2nd. I can do this. So we left our old house cause mom went fucking crazy and burnt it down. I hate having to re-tell people where I'm from, what I'm like, that whole song and dance. Just stay silent and life as I know it will pass me by.

-First period: English with Mr. Harris. Room 230. Ugh. Why is homeroom in the middle of the day? Why is there A lunch, B lunch, and C lunch! Who comes up with these schedules?

-Everyone's staring. I'm fresh meat. This creepy teacher's gonna introduce me. Great.

"Class. Class. CLASS! PAY ATTENTION!"

-All eyes on me. Not ALL but, a lot. Who's that cute guy? Wearing the green sweatshirt?

"Class, we have a new student joining our…fantastic English period 1."

-Ha, period.

"This is Natalie Goodman. She just moved to Morrison Junior High. Natalie, tell us a bit about yourself."

-Smile a bit. That's it.

"Um, I'm 14. I like to play piano."

-Brief. Let's keep it that way.

"Natalie, you can sit in front of..uh…Henry Carter. Towards the back. Henry? Raise your hand."

-Sweatshirt guy? Yes! But why does he look really nervous?

"Hi, I'm Henry."

-Brief. Brief.

"Hi."

-And a little smile and turn oughtta do the trick.
