Chapter 3:
"The First Day!!!"
Warning: Bullying!
Nikki (OC) POV
Morning came really fast! I didn't know why! Maybe it was because I was excited for my first day back. Maybe it was because of my stress over this pass fall break. Or most definitely, the fact that my new friend is Bill Cipher!!! And maybe the fact that he's coming to this school and today was his first day! Since he once had infinite knowledge, he'll start as a freshmen. Just like me!!! I woke up and got ready for school. I went downstairs. I asked the morning house-parent to use the telephone. I called h-dorm to see if Bill was awake. A house-parent answered. "Yes?" He answered, very tired. "Is Bill Cipher awake?" I asked anxiously. The dude hesitated for a moment before asking someone in the background if Bill was awake. The dude came back with someone else. "Hey, Nikki. What's up?" A familiar voice greeted. "Hey, Bill!" I greeted back. A few of the other girls stared at me. "Can you meet me at the entrance of your dorm at around 6:59?" I asked him. "I can try…" Bill Replied. "I hope to see you than, Bill…" I told him. "I hope so, too…" He replied. I hung up.
15 minutes later…
I met Bill at his dorm entrance as requested fifteen minutes earlier. We walked to breakfast together, chatting away our worries and anxiety. We soon arrived at the dining hall; the dorms already there. The kids that ride the buses were started to come in. Bill and I went in line and got our breakfast. We then went over to the dining part of the dining hall. I found one of my friends, Jewelia at a table. I led Bill to the table. Bill and I sat at the table with Jewelia. Jewelia looked at me with a puzzled and annoyed face. "Who exactly is this?" she asked. "He's new…" I replied mysteriously. Jewelia looked at Bill, who knew what was coming. "What's your name, man?" she asked. Bill sighed. "Bill…" He said. Jewelia quirked an eyebrow. Bill face palmed. "You ever watched Gravity Falls?" He asked her. Jewelia gasped. "Shut up! You're lying!" She exclaimed. Bill death stared at Jewelia. "Do I have to prove it, then?" He asked. Jewelia nodded. Bill sighed before closing his eye. He opened it wide. "Hey, that wasn't very nice!" He suddenly exclaimed. Jewelia blushed. "Also, what the hell is a "Tattletale"?!" Bill asked with a quirked eyebrow. Jewelia sighed. "Okay, now I believe you…but how are you real?" Jewelia asked. Bill groaned. "Look, man. I don't know everything anymore…especially how I got in this dimension. I don't even think I will ever find out. I'm not for certain if the Pines family even is aware that I'm back and is seeking redemption…" Bill explained. I felt really bad for him. I didn't even think about how he even got here to start with. I looked back at the entrance where we came out of. There they were. My two best friends; Zachery A. and Ariel S. I called over to them. They came towards my table. When they arrived, Jewelia got up to make room. She took up her tray. As she came to get her stuff from her seat, she told Bill; "Please, don't ever read my mind again or you'll be screwed for life. See ya later!" "Oh, Please! I have limited powers, honey…" Bill said back. Jewelia Growled at Bill. Well they're relationship started well… "Hey, I think I actually recognize that girl…I think I made a deal with her brother…he made me bother her" Oh, my God!!! I remember Jewelia Telling me about that! I thought she was joking! Apparently not.
"Hey, Nikki." Zach said. "Hey, Zach. Hey Ariel." I greeted. Zach noticed Bill. "Who's this?" He asked. I smirked at him. "Bill…" I said. "WHAT?! No way!!!" Ariel said, spitting her orange juice in her cereal. Bill made a disgusted face because of that. "Did you tell him about your huge crush?" Ariel asked. If I didn't look Mexican, I would be as red as a tomato. "Yes…" I said slowly, just to make sure they knew how embarrassed I felt then. Ariel giggled. I rolled my eyes while playfully hitting Ariel. "Do you want my face to become a living microwave?" I asked her jokingly. "Maybe…" She said. I picked up my fork and handed it to Bill. "No one should trust me with this…" I told him. Bill quirked an eyebrow. "Are you sure it isn't the other way around? It'd make more sense that way…also, I think I had a really bad influence on you…" He joked before playfully elbowing me. Nice, Bill. Nice. The morning Bell rung. "Well, it so awesome to meet you, Bill!!! Nikki's been talking about you non-stop!!! I think she's super happy!!!" Ariel told Bill. Bill grinned at her. It was not one of his evil grins, it was a completely genuine grin. He was making super good progress in his redemption. We went our advisory. (Homeroom) Bill was assigned to the same advisory as me. So we got to hang out a little while. I humored him with a few videos. Like YTP about his insanity. It was funny because he didn't know his original design was his same self, but green. "It looks like I'm going to puke or something…" he had said. It was also funny because the designers purposely look like he was insane. "Nice editing…" Bill also commented. I honestly was surprised at this. I had assumed the video would make him more miserable.
Soon came first period. Algebra. We were doing equations with...well, you guessed it. Ironically as it sounds…triangles. Other than Bill staring at the triangular figures in misery, he seemed to complete his work as if it was work a kindergartener would be assigned. He helped me complete the work as well. He helped me understand the problems a lot better than a teacher would. At least some of my grades will up… 2nd period came and went. Language Arts. 3rd Period came and went. Spanish. When 4th period came around, I was excited. "Why do you like 4th period so much?" Bill asked me as we walked to class. "It's Art, Bill!!! Didn't you find me on an art website?" I explained to him. Bill face palmed. "I'm losing my intelligence…" He said. A few really awkward minutes later, we arrived at art. "Does your schedule say you have Art, Bill?" I asked him. Bill pulled out his piece of paper that contained the info about his schedule. He nodded. "Yep…" He answered. I sighed in awe. "Come on, my nacho overlord." I told him. He looked at me while making one of his smug smiles. "Okay, crazy-cat-lady." He said back. I would've blushed in embarrassment again if not for my tan skin tone.
You want to hear something funny? We did a portrait project in Art. The theme was to draw, color, or paint someone you love. Someone you're thankful for. We did this project because Thanksgiving was coming around next month. I don't even need to tell you who my portrait was of, because you probably already guessed who. If you haven't, you're stupid. Very stupid. If you are one of those idiots, I'll tell you. It was of Bill. See? Idiots! "Who are you drawing, Bill?" I asked him. He smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know…?" He said. I heard Jewelia, who was sitting nearby, huff in annoyance. I didn't blame her. I wouldn't want to be around her if she be all flirty with Boris form her favorite game; "Bendy and the Ink Machine". I rolled my eyes at Bill. "Oh, come on, Nikki! I was teasing." Bill said before showing me his portrait. I hate to admit, but I feel like one of those idiots now. It was...of me. The most beautiful "me" I've ever seen. I think it's safe to say that Bill is way fucking better than my older brother!!! Holy shit. I gaped in amazement. Bill smiled. (Again, a nice and cute genuine grin) "I knew you'd like it." He said. I wish I was paler so Bill could see how embarrassed I was then. I completed my portrait of Bill about 15 minutes later. I honestly thought Bill would not be amused. I showed him my picture. Okay, I'm really thankful that Bill is unusually pale; because he looked like a tomato when he saw it. I wasn't expecting this, either. Bill unexpectedly hugged me tight. And I thought my art wouldn't be that impressing to him. Giving the fact that he's a one-trillion-year-old dream demon, I'd thought he'd seen better in his time…
Do you know those parts of romance stories when everything goes downhill? It doesn't really happen with Bill and I, but it is to the part where a lot of stuff changes. Not everybody knows that Bill Cipher indeed exists and is at our school this very second. No one but my friends, that is. If Bill were to get exposed, everything goes downhill from there. The fact that a majority of this school is well aware of Bill does not help at all. In fact, it just would make things worse. Especially the Bill-haters. And I'm pretty sure Bill doesn't want different versions of my brother after him. I highly doubt this kind of thing would happen. Boy, I couldn't be more wrong…
It started at lunch. Bill and I were walking in the hallway when some dumbass wasn't using their cane. In result the dumbass bumped into me, and caused me to lose balance and (almost) fall. Bill's reflexes were pretty fast. He caught me just before I hit the hard ground. Bill then turned his attention to the dumbass. Bill was clearly pissed off! BIG TIME!!! Okay, a few things. I honestly would've done the same thing if some dumbass bumped into my girlfriend and she almost fell on the ground, maybe getting a concussion. Also, Bill was just defending me. He looking out for me. I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to risk getting in big trouble just for me. That's actually what happened today…Bill also was exposed to the whole school. Let the drama games begin!!! Bill ran over the kid that "assaulted" me and picked him up by his shirt collar. I think Bill is going too far. I don't blame him. Bill is…Bill. "You better apologize to Nikki before I disassemble your molecules!!!" he growled. I cringed. He's gone waaaay too far now! The kid yelped in fear. I then found out why the kid was obsessed with diapers; to prepare for a situation like this. He pissed himself. "I'm…sorry, Nikki…" The kid managed to squeak. Bill dropped the kid. The poor kid stumbled onto his feet and begin to rush away. "THIS NEVER HAPPENED!!!" Bill warned him. Uhhh…okay. I preceded to walk up to Bill. He looked at me concerned. "I just Ciphered out, didn't I?" he asked quickly. I nodded slowly. "Shit…" Bill said quietly before face palming. I shook my head. "Come on, Bill. Let's just forget it and head to lunch." I told him. He complied. We begin to head to lunch. We got our trays and food and sat at my usual table. With Ariel and Zach. Bill and I sat down with them. Oh crap. The dumbass was in middle school. Not ten minutes into lunch, Bill Ciphered out again. Remember when I said I was wrong about thinking that Bill wouldn't expose himself to the whole school? Uh...oh…
Revenge of the Dumbass. He bumped into me again, his tray hitting my head. Bill got pissed off again. "THAT'S IT!!! NOW I'M REALLY GOING TO DISASSENBLE YOUR MOLECULES!!! IF MY NAME ISN'T BILL CIPHER!!!" he blurted. Everyone gasped and turned to Bill. "Bill, I think we should see Ms. Selina." I suggested looking around nervously. "Who?" Bill asked.
"The Physiatrist…" I said.
