Chapter 1
Nina's pov
Hey! Year three I'm so syched. I'm literally on the doorstep. Jerome comes out the door and says "you've been there forever are you going to come in or just love the doorstep". "Ha ha no I was going to call the priest and get married to it. Just shut up and give me a hug" I say. He hugs me. I thought he would walk away disgusted or something. I hug him back. We let go. "So when's the wedding" Jerome says. I hit his arm. Not hard or anything. We walk in. "You helping me pack" I say. He laughs. He looks at me and says " oh you're serious". "All I've got is some clothes I'll be done in two minutes if you help" I say. "What's in it for me" he says. "We will make it a competition we each fold half first one done wins and gets twenty pounds" I say. " you've convinced me lets go" he says. We run up the stairs. And into mine and ambers room. I unzip my suitcase. I point to the left side of the suitcase and say "your side" I point to the right and say "that's my side". "Ok" Jerome says. "Go" I say and start picking out clothes and folding. When I get done with my side Jerome says " you owe me twenty". I laugh. "Nice try you didn't even fold anything" i say. "You done my side" Jerome says. "What" I say and look at the suitcase he's right. Crap! "I still finished first" I say and cross my arms. "Then no one pays and I leave" Jerome says. "Deal" I say. Since when were me and Jerome close enough to hang out like that. Ambers suppose to be here in an hour or two. So I've got nothing to do. I fold the other side of my suitcase. I put my sleep wear in the top drawer of the dresser me and amber ordered. On the top it's a Victorian wood style on the front and top. It's a rusty metal color on the top half side. On the lower half its light,sparkly pink on the front. It hot pink on the sides. Of course Amber gets the lower half. I pick my panty pile up and put it in the second drawer. All of them around the took half the drawer. I pick up my bra pile and put it in the other half of the drawer. What am I going to do with the third drawer. I get three and Amber gets three. I look at the boxes at the end of the bed. I guess I'll go ahead and put my stuff up so I can help Amber when she gets here. I pick up a medium box labeled bed. I open my nightstand where I keep a little pocket knife at. I grab the knife and cut the box open. My sheets are light blue with different color paint splatters on them. My blanket is a rainbow streak at the bottom with the rest of it looking like the sheets. My pillows are just a plain color with the light blue at the edges.i put my purple, black, white, and orange quilt at the edge of my bed. My mom made it for me when I was eight. I bring it everywhere. I open the next box that says room decor. On top are framed photos. The very first one is my mom and dad. I put it on my night stand. The next one I pull out is a house photo from year one. I put it beside the picture of my mom and dad. The next picture that I pull out is of gran I put it on the shelves me and Amber had added. She has a hot pink shelf above her bed and I have an orange one above my bed. The next photo is of year two. I put it beside the picture of gran. The next thing that comes out of the box is a three pack of two hundred and seventy sheets of paper notebooks. I open my nightstand and put it inside. I see a green wire inside and pick it up. I plug it in and the little lights glow white. I stretch it out to see if it will go around the shelf. It will. I pull out some tacks and put it in the wire around the shelf. The little roll thing that turns the light on and off is right at the edge of my bed. I go back to the big box. I pick up a brown clock that looks like gears. It took me forever to find it. One gear is British time and the other is American time. (Eastern and pacific) I get my black alarm clock out of the box and set it up. The other box is just extra stuff like my laptop and old iPad. My school stuff. Possibly my makeup I'm not sure. For now I slide it under my bed. My phone buzzes in my pocket. I take it out. Incoming call from Amber. I hit ansewer and put it up to my ear. "Hello" I say. "Hey nins I'm so sorry but I'll be a little late I'm at moms and triple a still hasn't got here to fix her car. I can't wait." Amber says. "Do you know when everyone's coming" I say. " duh Fabian will be there tommorow so will joy. Patricia is coming after. Mara and Alfie will be there after. Then Eddie after that." She says. "Cool" I say. In the background I hear a stern voice call Amber. " I got to go bye" Amber says. "Bye" I say. I put my phone back in my pocket. I look in the last box I opened and see some photo albums. I take them out and put them on the shelf. That's it. I go downstairs. I haven't told Trudy hello yet. I walk in the kitchen to see her washing the dishes. " hey Trudy " I say. "Hello dearie" she says. "Do you need help" I say. "No sweetie I've got it go on" she says. I leave. I go to jerome's door and I was about to knock then my phone buzzes. I lean against the wall and read the text it's from Amber.
Hey nins on our way going thru the gates now meet me at the door. P.s can you get my emergency makeup bag real quick.
That's weird she didn't put the amazing gossip pink unicorn like we have been since summer. That's hers and mine is the rusty metal gorilla girl. I run up stairs and get her makeup bag. As soon as I get back down the stairs I drop the bag. I bend over to pick it up. I hear a little squeak. "Hello chosen one" is what gets me on my feet and turned around to look the one and only Rufus in the face. Except most of his hair is black and uneven. He has a scar right on his cheek. "What do you want" I say with my teeth gritted. "I think you know" he hisses. "Not even in your dreams" I say. "Oh yeah" he says. He starts coming towards me. I scream. His hand goes over my mouth. Trudy runs in and gasps. Jerome runs in and glares then says "Rufus let her go". "Make me" Rufus hisses. I shiver. His breathe is creeping on my neck. Jerome clenches his fists but there's nothing he can do this is Rufus were talking about. I hear a slight squeak like when Rufus came in. "Yah" I hear as something pink and heavy hit Rufus in the head and then hits me as it goes to the ground. Rufus lets go and I run over to Jerome and Trudy. He looks like his stare could kill. He turns around to Amber who doesn't look satisfied anymore. He clenches his fists and makes his way to her. No. He will not touch her. I run and push Rufus to the wall. Before he can hit Amber and he ends up hitting me. It was right in my left eye. I try my best to push Rufus away. After a second Jerome comes over and helps me we have him pushed against the door. Amber walks over and opens the door. Rufus falls. We slam the door and lock it. Rufus yells " I'll be back for you all. All of you". "Who was that" Trudy said coming out of her state of shock. Amber immediately says "Rufus" as if Trudy knew who he was. "Victor" Trudy yelled. Victor came down the stairs. "What Trudy" he says. Trudy tells victor everything that just. Happened. Victor gets a cold look when Trudy says Rufus. Victor tells Trudy not to worry he's got it under control he also tells us not to tell anyone we don't need them to worry. He walks back up the stairs. Trudy goes to the kitchen. "Nina why is your eye closed" Amber says. As soon as Amber said that I realized how much it hurt. I open it and she makes a disgusted face. "What" I say. "It's pure red" Jerome says for her. "Could you get me a wet rag" I say. Amber just goes to the boys bathroom sense it's closer. In a few second she brings me room temperature wet rag. I put it on my eye. Through my other eye I see Jerome smirk. " what" I say. "Oh nothing but imagine how many places and people just that rag has touched" Jerome says and I drop the rag to the floor. "Nins it's been washed since" Amber says. I look at the rag doubtful. Amber sighs. She goes up to Jerome and smacks his shoulder. Hard. "Ow" Jerome says. "That's what you get" Amber says. They start arguing. I walk upstairs and lay down on my bed. I bring my phone out of my pocket. I turn it on to see a picture of me Amber Patricia Eddie Alfie joy Jerome Mara mick and Fabian. It was at the end of term dance last year. I slide the lock and type in my password. I open my nightstand and get my earbuds out. I plug it in and turn my music on. I close my eyes and just relax. For once in my life. After a few minutes my favorite song comes on. Monster by imagine dragons. I actually don't know why it my favorite song, it just is. In the middle of the song it just starts playing I hate you from sick puppies. What the crap. I don't even own sick puppy songs. I open my eyes and I say Jerome in my room laughing I take out my earbuds. Oh it's on.
So I hope you liked the first chapter of my story at first it was going to be different and end up being made into four stories so this saves the trouble. Please tell me if you liked it or hated it. Don't be afraid to say you hated it I don't care. I want the honest opinion on my story. Thanks for reading.
