"Oh man I'm gonna be so bored today!" I said my red hair lifting slightly in the light gale, pale skin and steel-blue-grey eyes shining lightly in the glow of the sun my skin looking whiter than snow. "Why Nicki? Don't you have homework?" asked a girl with short brown hair in spikes, Cammie. "I finished all my homework and class work." I replied proudly. "I think we all did, maybe we could hang out at one of our houses?" said a blond haired girl, Bella. We were all proud honor roll students and the work, was a breeze.
"Well any suggestions? Cammie? Bella?" I asked timidly. "Why not at your house Nicki?" Bella asked me a little confused. "My parents are doing a giant remodeling project, so I don't want to quite go home unless I really have to." I said laughing.
Cammie started to laugh to, "Nice, I'll call and ask my mom." She pulled out her phone and dialed her mom's number. "Hey mom can I have friends over?" "Yes I finished my homework. Ok thanks, bye." Cammie smiled at us, "she said 'Yes', as long as we don't destroy the house."
"Coolio, I'll call my parents and tell them." Bella said calling her parents.
"Ditto," I said doing the same.
Later that night I walked home I saw a sad looking boy; he had midnight colored hair and wore blue, tattered jeans and a dull orange shirt. He walked solemnly down the street a skateboard in his hand and a backpack slung over his left shoulder. I wanted to cheer him up, but he was just a stranger to me.
He looked over at me with wide eyes fear and shock easily seen and I just realized I was in the middle of the street and a light was coming at me from behind. By the time my brain caught up with me the boy had pushed me into a brick wall and was now yelling at the driver as he drove away. I looked up at him shocked and noticed that his eyes were amber.A strange thing to notice, but it's true. "Are you okay?" He asked concerned. "I'm fine." I said smiling, "I for sure will be forever grateful to you for-" "It's no trouble, and I'm Isaac." He said holding out his hand.
"I'm Nicki, you look awfully familiar what school do you go to?" I asked.
"Norten High." Isaac replied smiling.
"Me too, well I should be getting home, thank you very much I honestly owe you, see ya at school!" I said running across the street looking both ways and turning the corner. Leaving Isaac speechless.
When I got home my parents were sitting in the living room cleaning up and moving a table to the middle of the room. "Oh hey honey, did you have a nice time at Cammie's?" My mom asked.
"Yeah it was fun, I see you finished." I said changing the subject. "Yes, actually we did, does it look nice?" My mom asked smiling hugely. "Yeah, I'm gonna be in my room if you need me." I said jogging up the stairs.
When I got to my room I changed into a grey tank-top and blue shorts, not wanting to wear the clothes that I could have been wearing for the clean up crew. I picked up a book from the floor, sitting on my bed and started to read. After an hour or so of reading I looked at the clock it was 10:30 P.M., I put my book on the night stand and went to bed.
