Chapter 1: You ok Mister?

One sunny Monday morning…. *knock* *knock*, two knocks are heard from Nic's bedroom door, "Wake up dear! You're gonna be late for school!" Nic's mom shouted.

"Ughh..." He groaned.

"Nic?" his mom called again.

"yeah, coming…" he get up from his bed, reached for the towel then headed towards the bathroom, after taking a shower, he headed downstairs.

"Good morning Nic" Mrs. Reed greeted.

"Good morning mom" Nic answered back.

"I cooked your favorite food…" his mom said while serving his breakfast, "Tadaa, bacon and eggs!"

"Wow…" he said it like he has a hangover.

"What's the problem dear? Are you alright?" she frowned.

"Umm, nothing! Everything is okay" he quickly answered.

Mrs. Reed raised her eyebrow "ok, if you say so" she poured some orange juice in his glass "hurry up and finish your breakfast dear, it's your first day of school, you don't want to be late, don't you?" his mom added heading towards the living room.

"Okay" he munched every bit of his favorite breakfast so quickly he nearly chocked, he drink his glass of juice then followed his mom to the living room.

"Wow, you're fast" she smiled.

"That's why they called it 'breakfast' "he joked.

His mother let out a giggle then said "Good one, Here's your bag dear" she handed his small blue backpack.

"Thanks mom, bye" he reached for his bag and headed towards the door.

"Bye dear, see you later" she replied then waved at Nic before she closed the door.

Nic started walking towards his new school, It is not that far away. While walking, his mind is floating off somewhere, he remembered many things that happened in his past, from his old home where they lived before up to the time where they decided to move.

-Flashback-

"Nic, start packing your things, we will leave after a few minutes" he heard a very familiar voice, his mom.

"Yeah…" he replied carrying his heavy luggage outside.

"Nic, is everything there already? Did you forget anything?" his mom asked.

"Everything is here" he replied. "Mom?" he added.

"Yes dear?" Mrs. Reed asked while making a last minute inspection of her luggage.

"I don't think this whole moving thing is not a good idea…" he said.

"Why do you asked?" she asked while putting on some lipstick.

"Well, you know…. They….are there?" he's voice is trembling.

"Who?" she turned and saw her son's face full of worries "Oh" she grabbed Nic's cheek and said "It's alright, nothing bad will happened there".

"But…mom…you know that…that every time I see them or hear them I remember…" his voice broke, anger and tears started to form in his eyes, but he tried to calm down and said "I...I remember Anna…"

"It's nobody's fault what happened to her" she wiped his tears "Don't worry, everything will gonna be alright, trust me" she said in a comforting voice.

Nic calmed down completely and slowly nodded to his mother's words.

He warped back to the reality when he heard a loud beep sound *beep* *beep*. He quickly jumped into the side of the street to dodge the speeding car. "Hey watch it Kid!" he heard the driver's angry voice then started speeding off again. He wiped off the dirt from his jeans and t-shirt and continued walking like nothing happened.

After a few minutes, he finally reached his destination, his new school. He doesn't like his new school, in fact he doesn't want to be in this place, it's the same school where the chipmunks and the chipettes go to. "Calm down Nic, I'm sure you'll survive the first day in school…" he thought to himself letting out a deep sigh.

The bell rang, means the class will start any moment, He quickly run inside. Nic tried to find his classroom, but no luck, there are too many classrooms in that building and too many students walking around, probably finding their rooms too. Some are just standing, chit-chatting with the others, the hallway looks like a train station, very crowded.

Nic walked slowly along the hallway, peeking inside every room and asking the students for some directions. Most of them just gave him a 'i-don't-know' look and quickly return to their own business, others just ignored him, like he doesn't even exist.

"Ok! I give up!" he finally declared, as he leaned against the wall.

"Are you okay Mister?" he heard a very tiny voice.

A chill went down his spine, he prayed he heard it wrong, he slowly turned his head toward the voice. "Oh God, why?" he murmured.

End of Chapter 1... Ha! What a cliff hanger, guess who owns that tiny voice, hope you enjoyed reading it, please review! Read chapter 2 for more info about Nic's life and know who the mystery chipette is.
