Chapter 1: Beginnings
I'm going to switch P.O.V. in this chapter now that you know whom Nicolette is.
For this chapter I'm going to have a few stomach noises so they will be like this
*Grumble*
Many long hours later, I got off the plane, yawning. Once I got past all the security, I waved over a taxi and gave the driver the address to the small apartment I bought. The drive to the apartment took an hour and a shitload of money, and by the time I had unpacked the things I would need for the first week, it was one in the morning. Exhausted, I climbed into the queen bed that came in the one bedroom of the apartment. I fell asleep almost instantly.
DREAM
I was walking down a hall and all of the sudden I heard a scream sounding like it came from a small child, in a lot of pain. Then in the background I heard a small creepy voice begin to sing,
"Rain, Rain, go away
Come again another day
Pain, Pain, go away
I deal with you every day
Dead, Dead, I am dead
They said you wouldn't come today"
then the voice turned demonic and it said
"And they were right"
Fin Dream
Gasping I sat up, muttering "Stupid airplanes, Stupid airplane movies"
Looking around I glances at the clock, noting that if I wanted to finish everything before school tomorrow I would have to get out of bed now. Its now like I could fall back asleep anyway. So, groaning, I slipped my feet over the side of the bed and stumbled to the shower. Thank god I had already unpacked my toiletries the night before! Undressing after I turned on the water to heat up, I tested the water and climbed in.
After I had finished my morning routine, with music of course, I finished the rest of the unpacking. Upon finding my mini-purse, filled with money, I begun calculating how much money I had.
From work…. $8 an hour, 4hrs, 5days a week for 4 months…. $2560
B-day money…$500
-100-Mom and Dad
-100-Nana and Poppy
-100-Grandma Sandi
-100-Auntie Sandi and Uncle Steve
-100-Betty and Bob
So in total I had $3060 or ¥ 292,077. That should last me a while but not long enough. I knew I eventually would have to find a job. *Grumble* Taking a quick peek at the clock I realized it was already one in the afternoon and I needed lunch.
"CRAP" I yelled at no one. (Yes I talk to myself. So what?) I realized that I needed to run to the store if I wanted to eat. I had brought plenty of my delicious lucky charms for breakfast, but I guess lunch just, well I probably just had one of my FEW blonde moments. Sighing I grabbed my purse and stomped out the door grumpily. I luckily had looked up where the currency exchange building was and walked there first, and by the time I was done with the entire annoying process it was TWO and I was STARVING. Running, sped into the nearest market for sustenance, deciding on a few boxes of sushi I paid and sped off, now heading home. Finally, I reached the street which I lived on and,
-----------CRASH---------
"Owwwww" I groaned looking for whom I slammed into. Noticing the poor girl I quickly stood up I apologized profusely.
"Its fine" she said with a smile "WE both were in a hurry and not paying attention to where we were going.
"My name is Nicolette" I said to her putting out my hand.
"Haruhi" she said shaking mine.
"Nice to meet you"
"you too"
"If you don't mind me asking, why were you running?"
"Avoiding some…friends" she said with a little laugh.
"From school?"
"Yeah"
"If you want, you can hide at my house, I live just around the corner. I just moved here because I got a scholarship to Ouran"
"You are going to go to Ouran? That's where I go …if you want I could show you around tomorrow…we wouldn't have the same classes, but you wouldn't be alone…"
"That would be amazing, thank you so much" I said glomping her. Then realizing my mistake of hugging someone who was almost a complete stranger I backed up blushing. "Sorry"
Laughing she replied, "It's fine"
So together we walked off to my apartment talking all the way. I learned about the host club and we enjoyed lunch together. Finally she had to go and she agreed to meet me at my house since it was just a block away. Smiling, that night I climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep, dreamlessly.
And there you go. Now…dun dun dun…it shall get interesting.
