I am in no way affiliated with The WB nor do I own Summerland, I just own the story plot.
Nikki rose to the sunlight streaming through the window. Sighing, she groaned and flipped over. Seeing it was 7:00, she turned over to go back to sleep, then remembered it was the first day of her freshman year. Her brother, Bradin, was a senior. It sucked, she thought, that Bradin would be there, but who cares? He would ignore her anyways.
"Nikki, you awake?" Her Aunt Ava yelled.
"Yes!" Nikki said, rolling her eyes. She hopped out of bed and quickly brushed her teeth, washing her face and brushing her hair. She pulled off her nightgown and started to put on her new outfit, a white ruffled just above the knee skirt, a whit purple sleeveless silk blouse, and her Rainbow brand flip-flops. She looked into the mirror, poking her stomach, checking out how fat her legs were. She sighed and sat on her bed to avoid eating breakfast. She couldn't start her high school experience looking like a blimp. She decided to go on a diet. After waiting awhile, she put on a happy face and went downstairs.
"I'm Ready!" She declared.
Bradin, who had improved as a person/big brother during the summer, check out the skirt. Deciding it was just right, he went back to eating his burrito.
Nikki grabbed his arm. "C'mon Bradin we gotta go! I can't be late for my first day of High School" She whined, pulling on his arm.
Bradin shook her off. "Dude, chill. We will get there when we get there!" He said, but stood up anways.
Aunt Ava came running out of the bathroom. Seeing Nikki, she grinned. "Oh, honey you look great!" She said, giving her a hug.
Nikki grinned ."Thanks Aunt Ava!" She said, giving her a hug good-bye and grabbing her messenger bag and purse.
Aunt Ava ran to the counter, grabbing a burrito. "Nikki, here you need something to eat." She said, stuffing it in her hand.
Derrick began to grin. "No she doesn't! Look how fat she is getting!" He said jokingly.
Nikki felt her stomach turn as she grabbed the burrito and headed outdoors. "C'mon Bradin!" She said annoyingly
Bradin started to laugh and headed outside.
Aunt Ava stopped him. "Bradin!" He whipped around. "Watch her!" She said warningly. She was dead serious though. Nikki was her favorite niece, well only niece.
Nikki quickly turned around. When nobody was watching, she threw her burrito in the bush, making sure it fell to the ground. She hopped into Bradin's car, a Jeep he had gotten during the summer.
Nikki buckled her belt, filled with nervousness.
