"Finding Each other"
Chapter 2: A new School
It was morning and very chilly outside. Alexa was taking her bath, Raylese was blow drying her hair, and Nikkie was still getting dressed. Chris went to find his job where he was transferred to Canada with the same job. Kayla was making eggs and toast for the girls. "MOMMY I'M DONE" screamed Alexa. Raylese was right next to her blowing out her hair and she said " do you have to yell". "Yup, I mean I am already done" Alexa said back to her. Raylese rolled her eyes. Kayla walked in to the bathroom and said "Raylese can you get her out for me and get her dressed". Raylese nodded and turned off the blow dryer and tide up her hair in a sloppy ponytail. She wrapped Alexa in a towel and walked her into her room with her clothes. Nikkie had put on her light blue faded jeans, her white tank top which read Capricorn ( because that was her sign ), and she wore her white Nike's, she slipped on a white hooded sweater. She grabbed her medium sized light blue jansport bookbag and walked out her room. She walked into the bathroom and drooped her bookbag. She grabbed the brush and began combing her hair it was all messy. She parted her black hair which had brownish highlights in it. She blow dryed it a bit and it came out straight. She opened the doors under the sink and took out a conditioning cream for her hair. She took a dab and wiped it on her hair. Her hair was shiny. She brushed it some more. She left the cream on the sink, turned off the lights, grabbed her bookbag and walked out the bathroom. She opened Raylese's bedroom door and she saw her bookbag and sweater. She grabbed them both and walked out. She opened Alexa's door and saw Alexa in jeans and a pink barbie shirt, and her favorite barbie sneakers. Raylese had on a black skirt, white stockings, school shoes, and a white collar shirt and black sweater. She was dressed this way because after school she was going to go find a job with Kayla, after she came home from taking care of her mother.
(411 she isn't in the same school as Nikkie)
Nikkie was sitting on the stool that was there beside the sink eating her toast and eggs. Raylese was eating with Alexa at the kitchen table. Kayla had finished her food and she slipped on her working sneakers. "Where is it that you work again?" asked Nikkie. "I am a nurse at the hospital a few blocks from here, I work until 12pm in the emergency room for kids, then I have to come back and help my mom" said Kayla. "Oh" Nikkie said in a wow-that's-hard-work sort of way. "Nikkie, Raylese I'm trusting you to hold Alexa's hand and bring her to her school, and Raylese make sure Nikkie gets in ok, and you take care of yourself". "OK,OK, mom I've got it covered" said Raylese. " I know, I know" said Kayla. " And remember if Raylese loses Alexa you'll always have me" Nikkie said sarcastically. "HEY" whined Alexa. "Not funny Nikkie, not funny" said Kayla. Nikkie laughed. Kayla kissed all of them on the cheek and grabbed her bag and walked out the back kitchen door yelling "have a good day". "YOU TOO" the girls yelled out. The door slammed behind her.
"Ok, ya ready" said Raylese. She grabbed all the plates and put them in the sink cleaned them off a little then put them in the dish washer. She turned it on and went upstairs to get her hair into a neater ponytail, and took Alexa to brush out hers. Downstairs, Nikkie turned off the dish washer and went into the living room and grabbed her cd player and her Good Charlotte, and Hilary Duff CD. Then Raylese came down with her hair neater and Alexa with a pink headband and two pig tails. She called for Nikkie and she ran in to kitchen. "Are you ready" asked Nikkie. "Yup" said Raylese. She turned off the kitchen light. Nikkie grabbed her jansport and grabbed Alexa's pink bookbag. Raylese grabbed her purse and Alexas hand. Nikkie pulled out her new key and Raylese put hers in her purse. They walked out the kitchen into the living room then through the dining room then past Chris's office door and two closets and the other staircase, and out the front door.
Alexa was in her new class, Raylese left Nikkie at the corner of her new school, and Raylese was on her way to school. Nikkie walked slowly to the front of the school. She looked at at and said to herself "Here we go". Nikkie walked up the steps and into the school. She finally got into the office where she went up to the front desk. "Excuse me, my name is Nikkie Stevenson, and I'm new here" Nikkie said to the lady behind the desk. "Oh, yes I was wondering when you were coming, here's your schedule and do you mind taking a seat there while I go find someone to help you around today" said the lady. Nikkie nodded and sat down. While she stared at her schedule she heard some yelling in the hallway. All of a sudden.... "But Mr. Raditch it wasn't me" Spinner said as Mr. Raditch pulled him by the hood of his sweatshirt. "Gavin, I am tired of your horse play. It is distracting our students at Degrassi from learning and it is disguisting to see this behavior in the hallways" said the principal. "But I am not the one who threw the ball at Ms. Kwan,...it was someone else" cried Spinner. "Yes Gavin and I built Degrassi all by myself in one day , sit down here as I find out what I should do to you, your lucky you didn't brake Ms.Kwan's nose" said Mr. Raditch. Spinner sat down beside Nikkie and he slouched down into his seat.
Spinner looked at Nikkie and said "I'm sorry for that,...um you must be new here, my names Gavin but everyone calls me Spinner". "I'm Nikkie, and it's ok, back in Virginia I was the one being yelled at by the principal" Nikkie said. "Really what did you do" asked Spinner. Right there Nikkie got up nervously and went up to the desk when will my buddy be here. The lady told her in a little while and that homeroom didn't start for another 10 minutes. Nikkie didn't want to turn around to tell him. "Hey, seriously what did you do"asked Spinner in an anxious way. Nikkie turned around and smiled and sat down putting her hands on her face. She then said "Alright, Alright I'll tell you, its similar to your story, in school I wasn't paying attention in class and I was sent to the principal's office and .um. he told me to sit down in his office. He had this long flat package that didn't even fit on his desk, when he blamed me for being rude to my teacher, I got up and slammed the package while I said that I wasn't being rude. And while I had slammed my hand on the package, the other end of the package had lifted up like a see-saw and it hit is nose....and I sort of broke it" Spinner had his jaw wide open. "Wow, that's harsh" he said. "Yeah but it was an accident, and he thought I did it on purpose because I was laughing and he suspended me for two weeks" she told him while laughing. Spinner still couldn't believe that a nice looking girl like her would be a trouble maker, Spinner was staring at her smile because she had an awsome smile. Then a guy walked through the door and went up to the front desk "Um.. I'm looking for a Nikkie Stevenson" he said. Nikkie looked up and said I'm Nikkie. The guy turned around and said "Cool, I'm Craig and I'll be showing you around today". Nikkie got up and said bye to Spinner.
When Nikkie walked into her 1st period class (Computers) with Craig she had introduced herself to Mr.Simpson her computer teacher. Mr.Simpson assigned her to sit next to Marco. "Hi, Marco, I'm Nikkie". He said hi back and they listened to Mr.Simpson's long speech about using slideshows and scanning pictures into a slideshow. The teacher told them they could use the last 15 minutes of class to use the internet. While Marco and Nikkie sat together she told him all about her life back in Virginia. So did Marco about his funniest times in his old schools.
After class Craig took Nikkie to the library where they had talked all period. "So how do like Degrassi so far" asked Craig. "It's ok...but it's only my first day and I have only come in contact with 3 guys, and no girls, you know what I mean" she said. "No not excatly, but yeah I get you in a weird sort of way" said Craig. Nikkie laughed. Then a girl walked up to her along with another girl and two boys. "Hi, Craig how are you doing" the girl asked. "Oh, hi Emma, this is Nikkie, Nikkie this is Emma, that's Manny, Toby, and J.T" said Craig. Nikkie waved at them all. "So Nikkie how do you like it here at Degrassi" asked Manny. "It's cool" Nikkie said. "You should sit with us today, I mean were only in the 9th grade but that's not a problem right" asked Emma. "Not at all, it's cool" Nikkie said. "It's not a problem for you, but people like Paige Michalchuk care about who they are seen sitting with, but I like you cause your not like that" said Emma. Nikkie smiled in embarrassment because no one ever really complimented her on things like that. "Well we gotta go, see you later" said Toby. On their way out J.T. winked his eye at Craig. " What was that" asked Nikkie in an awkward way. "I ....don't.know" Craig said in a confused way. The bell rang and he took her to her 3rd class then her 4th, and then 5th.
Then during lunch Nikkie sat with Emma, Manny, and J.T., and Toby. J.T out of all of them was acting really weird. Nikkie leaned over to the side because J.T was literally drooling while he stared at her. She leaned over to Toby and asked "what's with him". "I honestly don't know but if you think clearly about it, you can see he likes you" Toby said in an awkward way. When he had said that Nikkie pulled back with a digusted sort of look on her face. The looked back at J.T., and raised her eyebrow at the look he was giving her. When she looked at the clock on the wall she jumped up and grabbed her books. "I'm sorry I gotta go, I promised Craig I would let him show me around the school, so I'm gonna go" said Nikkie anxiously. "Your not gonna eat" said Toby. "No time, I'll get a soda from the vending machine. Yelled Nikkie walking out the Cafeteria. But all of a sudden this cute guy bumped into her and she dropped her books. He bent down and picked up her books for her and he handed them to her. She caught a glimpse of his name on his notebook. He said sorry and left without a care. She smiled while walking forward and looked back to see if she could see him. She finally reached the library and saw Craig. "I-am-so-sorry Craig, I was with Emma and.." Craig cut her off and said "It's ok your not late and we have plenty of time".
Craig showed her everything, everything, and he even introduced her to Ashley,Terri, and Ellie. It was like now Nikkie was friends with everyone. Different people from different groups. Like Paige, Spinner, and Terri the popular, Ashley and Ellie the dark and silent ones (but to Nikkie they were still really cool), Emma, Manny, Toby, and J.T. the normal ones, and Marco didn't really seem to be apart of anything but he hung out with Spinner and the boy she had bumped into. She has had contact with all these people except that boy, that one certain and imparticular boy.
When the bell rang after school, Nikkie walked with Emma and Manny. The three of them bumped into a group of kids. "Watch were your going" said this blonde girl. "Excuse me" said Nikkie. "You heard me, and I cant believe you hang out with people from grade nine, can't you learn from your own kind" the girl snapped back. "My own kind, OOOHHH, you must Paige the girl who hates the ninth graders" said Nikkie. "Yeah, hun so you better watch were you go you might be in grade 10 but you will always be scum like the 9th grader" said Paige. "Whoa, Whoa , Whoa, come down Paige this girl is cool remember me Nikkie" said Spinner. "Yeah I remember you.. Spinner right" said Nikkie. "Yeah you're the one who broke your principals nose" said Spinner. Emma and Manny laughed and so did Nikkie. "Yeah that's me" said Nikkie. "You know her Spinner" said Paige, and Spinner nodded back to her. "Did you really brake it" asked Paige. Nikkie smiled and nodded. " Wow, a rebel.....look were cool...but you can hang with us whenever you want cause a friend of Spinners is sort of a friend of ours. Nikkie nodded and walked away.
A few weeks passed, she hung with everyone. Still except Jimmy. She didn't even want to ask for him. She was now used to everything and everyone. Two months passed and everything was normal. She already knew Jimmy but they didn't hang out as much as her and Spinner and Craig and everyone else. Everything was great except for the trips she had to take to the hospital with Kayla, because her mom kept on having heart attacks. But very soon things were going to change.
Authors Note: Told ya Degrassi would come into place. Yup but wait for chpt 3. But just wait for 4 and 5 when the most unexpected happens.
