Where I'll Always Be

Chapter 34: I'm Whole Again

Nikkie was in her last period class. She was in her jean shorts that said "PEPE" on the back. She had a black tank top and black flip flops. Her hair was straight down. She had on her jelly bracelets again. Except now in black. She had her elbow leaning on the desk, and her chin resting in her palm, while her other hand wrote down the algebra equations. She had her right leg crossed over her left leaving it dangling in bordem. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Nikkie looked up and saw Mr. Armstrong talking with the lady from the front desk. Mr. Armstrong turned to the class.

"Um...Nikkie, could you please come here" Mr. Armstrong said

Nikkie looked at him confused. She got up and looked behind her. She looked at Paige. Paige gave her a confused look. Nikkie grabbed her binder and walked out of the room. She looked at the lady.

"Nikkie Stevenson" she asked

"Yeah....what's going on" Nikkie asked

"Oh, Mr. Raditch would like a word with you" she said

"About what" Nikkie asked

"It is my job to get you, not to stick my nose in the business" she said

Nikkie walked in and sat down in the chair. Just as Mr. Raditch was hanging up the phone.

"You wanted to see me" Nikkie said

"Yes. Nikkie I would like to speak with you about a few topics that have been brought to me" Mr. Raditch said

"And that would be...." Nikkie said

"Well, I have been looking at your grades and they are good but they have slipped just a little" he said. "I want to give you a chance" he added

"A chance to what" she asked

"A chance to raise these grades. Because if you do, there is a big possibility that you could be valedictorian next year. I would like to see this happen. You are a bright student. So could you do me that favor and bring your grade up just a bit" Mr. Raditch said

"Of course, thank you" Nikkie said as she got up shaking his hand

"Your welcome, you can go back to class now" he said.

..........................................................................

Nikkie walked outside to find Paige. She saw her sitting on a near by bench with Spinner. Paige saw Nikkie.

"NIKKIE! what happened. What was goign on" Paige asked nervously

"Paige...they.....they" Nikkie said

"They what" Paige asked

"They....they want me....to be......NEXT YEARS VALEDICTORIAN" Nikkie yelled

"No Way" Paige yelled

"Yes, he said to raise up my grade and I could be valedictorian at graduation next year" Nikkie said

"That's great!. What's a valecictorian?" Spinner asked stupidly

"Your kidding me" said Nikkie

"Of course" Spinner said laughing fakely

"Cool, well I need to get home early. I'll see you tomorrow" Nikkie said walking off.

After Nikkie left Spinner leaned over towards Paige.

"No really Paige, what's a Valedictorian" he asked. All Paige could do was smile and roll her eyes.

................................................................................

When Nikkie got home she told Raylese and Kayla the big news. She later on went outside. She walked over to the park to find Jimmy playing basketball with a few neighborhood friends. She went towards the picnic table and sat on the table with her feet on the bench. She watched as Jimmy played. When Jimmy was about to shoot the winning basket, he noticed Nikkie sitting on the bench. She smiled at him. He smiled back. He focused on the game and threw the ball. And watched as he made the shot. He cheered and left his friends. He walked over to Nikkie.

"Hey" he said giving her a kiss on the lips. He leaned his body in between her legs and wrapped his arm around her back. While she held his waist.

"So I see Mr. Brooks has made the winning shot....how do you feel" she said sounding like a sports reporter.

"Well, I feel great, especially no that I got my own personal cheerleader" he said immediatly attacking her with kisses on her neck. Nikkie was laughing.

"So, what do you wanna do" Nikkie said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I don't know, maybe we could go out somewhere, I mean....we havn't been on a real date for the longest" Jimmy said

"So let's go do something" Nikkie said

"Ok...how bout' the movies. I mean, I really wanna see Van Helsing, or maybe Soul Plane" Jimmy said

"Sounds cool....so why don't you go home and take a quick shower and then we'll leave" Nikkie said

"Ok then" Jimmy said kissing her a few times. They got up and walked to Jimmy's building.

..................................................................................

When they got inside Jimmy went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he came out he was in a pair of blue jean shorts, a black t-shirt and his low top black air force ones. He sat down next to her to tie his sneakers. She was behind him leaning on his back, rubbing his back. She was on her knees. When he sat up straight up, Nikkie leaned her chin on his shoulder, while her arms hung over his shoulders. He grabbed her wrists.

"Sooo.....did I tell you. I could be valedictorian next year" Nikkie said

"Really" he said

"Yup, and I might just do it...only if I raise my grades" Nikkie said

"Cool" he said. They stayed silent for a few minutes. Nikkie began to kiss his neck. He had his eyes closed.

"You really want to go to the movies" Jimmy asked.... wanting her. As he removed her arms from his neck.

"YeS JiMmY" she said, knowing what he wanted. Jimmy laughed. He got up and Nikkie stood up on the couch. She kissed him as he gripped her hips. He lifted her off the couch and stood her on the floor.

"Let's go" Jimmy said

They left to go see Van Helsing. They had a great time. They went their separate ways after the movie and after about a million good-bye kisses.
