Nyssa Hyde sighed as she went out of the old dream draining building. Another crappy day in her crappy school. Or rather, another crappy day in her crappy life. She was now convinced that in her previous life she had been some really bad guy, because her karma never seemed to be in her favour. She was constantly being teased and made fun of in class. Not even the teachers took her seriously, even when she knew the correct answer.

At home her mother tried her best, but to tell the truth, she was not the best maternal figure. An example of this was last week when she had called down both Nyssa and Steven to the livingroom for the so called 'birds and the bees' talk, to only state that if either of them made someone pregnant or became pregnant themselves they would be thrown out of the house and had then proceeded to give them a box each of condoms.

No, her twin had been her real life saver. Ever since they were small, since Steven was about 5 minutes older than her and all. He had been her guardian when no one else had. Now she was 16, working three part time-jobs while trying to finish high school and scrape up something for a college scholarship.

The sun was going down slowly, which meant that her brother was more likely at Forman's house by now. While Nyssa had a pair of her uncle's old boots on, so she was scraping her small feet on the hot pavement beneath her.

"I hate hot weather" She muttered to herself as she started to walk towards the library, her first part time job of the week. Since it was Monday, that meant library duty. Mrs. Betner had given her a 7 dollar/hour job for helping her sort out books and to make sure that no, quote, 'Funny business' was happening between the shelves. Mrs. Betner was starting to get old, so she really needed the help.

Nyssa's muttering was also lies, she enjoyed summer and the heat that came with it. But her home had no proper AC unit and all of her clothes were hand-me-downs from either her mother, previous 'uncles' or her cousin Tyra, who happened to be 4 sizes larger than her. Nyssa still remember the summer when she was 14 and she had to walk around in Tyra's maternity clothes since she had no other option, which made her the laughing stock of the school. Her older brother was lucky, all of his hand-me-downs fit him at least and was his style. Nyssa was a small girl, and if you compared her to the others in her class, she was tiny almost. She was short and thin, the school nurse had stated it was malnutrition that made it hard for her to grow to her full height. She had curly hair like her brother, though it was more tousled and knotted than his, also it was more of a dirty brown-ish color than Steven's dirty blonde.

She finally reached the Point Place library when dread filled her. Some guys from the football team was there, probably to try and study. Which in reality meant that they would torture her for several hours, until she ran to Forman's.

"Oh look, it's geekerella" Todd Bjorn said and walked up to the information desk. Nyssa had tried and failed to hide in the back office of the library as long as she could, but Mrs. Betner had called for her to do her job and so Nyssa had swallowed her anxiety and went to work.

"Hi Todd, are you here to brush up on the english language, you know that isle 3 is where the lexicons are" Nyssa somewhat snarked and rolled her eyes while pushing her round, slightly cracked glasses up her slim nose. She had taken off her jacket in the office, which now she regretted since she was revealing her black ABBA t-shirt that went over her thighs. It didn't go that well together with her jeans skirt that was down to just above her ankles. Her boots, that were a pair of old timberlands but about ruined in quality and old, was messily tied together as hard as they could. And so the day went down hill, she was bombarded with name calling and bantering for four hours straight. By the end she was half-crying and ready to run home.

"Bye Mrs. Betner" She squeaked and tugged her too-big jacket closer to her body. She was extremely hot in it, since it was summer after all, but she hoped that she was able to hide in it too. The mocha jacket was okay, which meant less stares when she walked by.

"Bye dear, see you on Wednesday" The old lady croaked and opened the back door for Nyssa. True to her previous planning, she ran to Eric's house, not caring about the blisters she would be getting tomorrow. When she fell down the stairs and opened the white door, all of her friend's were looking at her funny.

"Hey guys" She said and waved. She placed her tattered brown leather shoulder bag on the floor and threw off her jacket. She sighed when Jackie Burkhart rolled her eyes, snickering to herself as she was listening to some record. Nyssa sat down beside her brother and smiled when he loosy hugged her.

"Hey, would you guys respect me if I worked at the town dump?" Eric asked, he was looking for a job in that day's paper.

"The town dump? No.. now the state dump.." Donna snickered and teased Eric. Nyssa didn't know why, jobs were important after all.

"Why are you even looking for a job" Donna added and looked at Eric.

"Everything costs money, clothes, food, fun" Eric said and continued his search.

"Yeah, bills too.. we haven't filled the electrical this month" Nyssa mumbled to her brother, she had thought about how she was going to tell him all day. Since she knew that it was a bit harder for him to make money and she knew he felt guilty about that. But back when they turned 13, their mother had created a box system for bills, food, clothes etc. She had said it was time they started to 'pay their part' of the household.

"I know, I will do it" He said and kissed her forehead, reassuring her that they would be fine at the time the bills were due. "Thanks" She said and smiled before turning back to Eric.

"Dates, dates costs money" Kelso grunted.

"No Kelso, that's prostitution" Fez stated and rolled his eyes. Which made Nyssa laugh, a real and quite cute laugh actually.

"Dating is prostitution man, only that you don't always get what you paid for" Her older brother said and looked at his sister. She knew he had a bit of a over-protective streak when it came to Nyssa dating. So she didn't.

"Said the man who's never had a girlfriend" Donna raised her eyebrows and looked accusingly at Steven.

"Come on, you guys don't remember Esther the biker chick?" Steven said and chuckled. Which made his sister roll her eyes too.

"Oh yeah, whatever happened to her?" Eric asked.

"She is dating our uncle" Nyssa stated and was then hit at the back her head by her brother, who didn't look that smug anymore. "Hey!" She grumbled and touched the sore spot.

"Well I'm going home for dinner" Donna stated and rose from her seat. "By the way, my mom and dad is going to the playboy club at Lake Geneva this weekend. You guys want souvenirs?" She added and started hinting that she would be alone.

"Oh, ashtrays" Steven said.

"A woman!" Fez exclaimed which got Nyssa laughing again.

"Your parents are going to be out of town?" Jackie stated. "Really" She added and looked at Eric, as if she was expecting something.

"Yeah, but I will be babysitting my sister Tina the whole weekend, just me, alone.. Might order a pizza" Donna said, hinting even more that Eric should come over. But Eric didn't seem to listen.

"I got an idea!" Kelso exclaimed and shot up from his seat on the couch. "We'll have a party at Donna's! A toga party!"

"Maybe she don't want to throw a party, maybe she wants to be alone" Jackie countered, knowing what Donna really wanted.

"Yeah alone, if someone happens to pass by, that would be cool" Donna said.

"So we're on, I'll bring the beer!" Kelso decided.

"Donna, I've never been to an American party before, may I come" Fez asked.

"Oh, um, yeah sure" Donna said, then added "But Eric, will you come"

"What? yeah. Sounds fun" Eric said, finally looking up from the paper. Nyssa and Steven looked at the event with a smirk. Eric was so in love with Donna, and yet he totally missed all of those signals.

"Cool. Catch you guys later" Donna said and walked out the door.

"Woo-Hoo-hoo! Party at Donna's" Kelso said with a huge smile.

"You two are both idiots!" Jackie shouted and hit both Eric and her boyfriend on the back of their heads.

"Well this is a first, I actually agree with Jackie" Nyssa stated, feeling a chill run down her spine. She didn't like the shallow, stuck up girl at all. The closest she could come to the word friend was mildly tolerating.

"What? You're saying that I'm stupid?" Eric asked.

"Donna just put on the full court press, man, and you dropped the ball" Steven shrugged and looked at his twin, who nodded.

"What are you guys talking about? All she said said was that she would be alone on a Saturday night, might order a pizza- oh god I'm so stupid" Eric rolled his eyes, ready to die.
