category: twilight

summery: Nicole's, or Niki as she likes, family has just won the lottery. the mega million to be exact. while it was at its record breaking high. 470,000,000 dollars. she doesn't want to get a spoiled rich girl attitude, so through a series of hard decisions (And many thrown darts) she exiles her self to La push. to spend her last year of high school. there her car breaks down and she meets a very cute guy. Will love Bloom? or is Niki dead set on doing nothing to giver her a rich girl attitude, even if that means no boyfriends?

I am not sure if i am having her be an imprite for Paul, Seth or Embry. If this story is the one i write, ill have another poll for you, the readers, to choose. so there may be some inter chaging names of werewolves in the second half of the preview.

"mom, I'll be fine."

"I just worry,"

"I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself there. I will call You every chance I get."

She hesitated before she Finally said "Alright."

We were at the airport. I was on my way, thanks to a series of dart throws (don't ask), to La Push, Washington. It was my choice. I was doing this for a good reason. It was a simple reason really.

I refuse to become a stuck up self obsessive rich girl.

I was hoping a small Town life for a bit would help me. Besides, I always wanted to live in a small town. See what it was like. I mean, my car was kind-of a rich car. and my house was too. but I'm going to stay down to earth.

oh. I guess I should introduce myself.

My name is ,I'm 17 and a Senior in high school. Oh, almost forgot. My family just won the lottery. yeah. not just any Lottery. the Powerball jackpot. which was at a record high. 475,376,684.67 dollars. which, in turn, becomes 267,947,477.33 dollars.

I'm sending myself away, as I said, so i don't become a spoiled rich girl. I don't want that attitude. I'm hoping a small town life will help me stay level headed. I bought a house. (Well, my mom did. but still. same difference.) and I will live in La push for the rest of summer and my last year of high school. I also have a car. its the Selena S7. not the best, I'm trying not to draw attention to my self. But i like fast. so I also have an old car in forks and I'm using that to drive to school. my car will only be used on trips to The surrounding cities. like settle.

I'm bending in. I am Not rich. I'm just like everyone else.

who am I trying to fool?

OOOOOOO a later part in the story. don't worry, your not suppose to know too much right now. i will tell you her car broke down, and shes getting it fixed in a garage in la push. OOOOOOOOOOO

"no I'm telling you Paul, the Selena s7 is 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds."

"no. It 3.8 Seth."

"your wrong."

"your wrong. "

I could take it anymore. I had to intervene.

"Both of you are wrong! Your thinking of the Ferrari Enzo" I said pointing to Jarad. " and I have no clue what car your thinking of. " I said pointing to Paul "The Selena s7 goes 0 to 60 in 2.3. seconds. It's the third fastest car. The fastest car, SSC Ultimate Aero goes 257 mph, 0-60 in 2.7 secs." I said throwing my hands up in the air.

"i was close." Seth mumbled.

"close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. And 3.4 seconds is not close. " I said.

"wow. A new all time low for you two. Outsmarted in cars by someone who we don't even know. Who are you? I need to give you a proper thanks for knocking some sense into them. " I heard a voice say behind me.

I turned around and standing there was the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. He was tall had short hair. Buff, like Seth and Jared. He had a shocked, wide-eyed expression on his face. His eyes were the most amazing shade of gray. I realized that I was starring and was going to turn away blushing, but wanted to show I was confident.

"that would be me." I said with a wave. It wasn't in the confident voice I was looking for. It wasn't anywhere close. Oh well.

"um....I'll be right back" he said before darting out of the room. I looked back at Seth and Jarad. The both had goofy grins and snickering at each other.

"one of you two want to explain what the he'll just happened?" I asked. They shock there heads an I heard foots step behind me. I turned and saw another man with his arm around a pretty girl. Jarad got up, whispered something to them causing the man to smirk and look at me and the girl to squeal and run up to me.

"hi I'm Clair. That over there is my boyfriend Quil." she said and pointed at the guy who was now talking with Seth.

"I'm Nicole. but you can call me Niki. It's very nice to meet you." I said shaking her hand.

"I can tell were going to be great friends." she said practically bouncing with excitement. I smiled. I could use a friend. I heard foot steps again and saw the guy come in. He looked more....I'm not sure. But he was smiling when he looked at me. He came and walked over.

"hi. I'm Paul." he said holding his hand out.

"Nicole, but please just call me Niki" I told him shaking his hand. It was extremely hot. Not unlike the the rest of him but not in that way. Temperature wise. I didn't say anything though. My hands were always extremely cold. His were the same I bet. Just on the other temperature scale. He did look shocked for a moment though. The look I always get for my cold hands.

"do you go to the high school on the Rez?" he asked.

"As of now, I do. 12 grade. Whoo!" I said with fake enthusiasm. He smile grew.

"me too. Maybe we'll have some of the same classes." he said sticking his hands in his pockets.

"maybe." I said with a smile.
