Authors Note-EAZYADICT, luvyou905, Smartstar247, moviestar73, DarkAngel814, Summerlandever, dream stalkers wife 13 thanks so much! You're comment's encouraged me to continue the story! Thanks for the structured critique. I appreciate it! To anyone else who reviewed for chapter one thanks so much! I probably typed this chapter before you reviewed, so I am totally sorry! By the way, this chapter takes place Monday, just like the other chapter. I usually don't continue with the day like that into a 2nd chapter, but this time I made an exception. By the way, some of the characters will not totally be like on the show….
Disclaimer- I own nothing but the plot!
Bradin pulled into Playa Linda High and turned off the car. Glancing around for his buddies, he finally spotted them. He turned to Nikki, who was glimpsing around nervously.
"Here, let me see your schedule." He said, putting his hand out.
Nikki tucked a strand of hair behind her hair and pulled her schedule out of her purse, showing it to Bradin. Bradin overlooked it carefully.
1.) English (H)
2.) Theater 1st lunch 3.) P.E.
4.) Algebra I (H)
Bradin's eyes bugged out. "Nikki, you're classes are all Honors, well except electives, so you only have to take 4, but they will last longer." He got out of the car and started to walk towards the school. Nikki jumped out of his car and followed him.
"Bradin wait up!" She said, running after him. She looked down as he turned to her. "I know they showed us where my classes would be at Freshman Orientation, but can you walk me to my first class?" She practically begged, not caring who saw her with her older brother.
Bradin sighed. "Fine, I will walk you to your first class, but you can find the gym for P.E. on your own." He said, grabbing his stuff and walking towards the main entrance. Nikki quickly followed, her stomach growling just a bit.
Nikki sat in homeroom, glimpsing around. Spotting Amber and Cameron, she strolled over to them. "Hey guys!" She said happily. Cameron and Amber muttered hello then turned their heads. Nikki looked at the weirdly then went back to her seat, embarrassed.
When the bell rang, she got up from her seat and headed towards the door. Seeing Cameron and Amber there, she once again walked up to them.
"Why aren't you talking to me?" She asked, not beating around the bush.
Cameron and Amber sighed. They slowly turned to her. Amber began to say. "Nikki, we are not mad at you. We are still your friend, but we have to tell you something. We are dating." Amber finished, blushing. Cameron nodded slowly.
Nikki was upset, but hid her feelings. "Yeah, sure. We are still all going to hang out though, right?"
Cameron and Amber slowly nodded. They both began to grin." So, what classes do you have?" asked Cameron.
Bradin came up beside Nikki. "She has Honor's English next, but is going to be tardy if she doesn't scoot." He said, glaring at Cameron.
Amber's mouth opened wide. "Oh my gosh, I do to!" She squealed. Nikki and she did a little dance. Bradin and Cameron gave them a look.
Nikki grinned as her stomach growled. "So, Amber, are you popular this year?" She asked lightly.
Amber shook her head slowly. "No, it totally sucks!" She said as she slid next to Cameron.
Nikki grinned. "So what other classes do you guys have?" She asked, taking out her schedule.
Bradin started to get irritated as the bell rang. "Nikki, come on! You got 5 minutes before tardy bell to get down 3 hallways." He said, starting to grab her arm.
Cameron took Nikki's schedule and looked it over carefully.
"We have P.E., Theater, and Lunch together, all three of us!" He yelled after her as she and Bradin started to walk briskly down the hallway.
Nikki grinned and pulled away from her older brother. She sighed and started to run. If she was going to be on a diet, she had to do a lot of running.
Bradin rolled his eyes and started to let her go to her class alone. Making a quick turn, he escaped into his Algebra class.
Nikki kept running, making it to class right before the bell rang. She sat down with a sigh, her heart racing. She sat down in the back as Amber sauntered in after her, sitting in the seat in front of her.
Nikki smiled and listened to the teacher droan on for an hour about the class. Nikki was glad when the class finally ended. Good thing she only had to take 4 classes, but they were longer. Instead of taking a fifth class, they added more time to the rest of her classes. Joy, Joy!
Nikki walked into theater class, taking a seat next to a girl with brown hair and big nose. She smiled at Her and asked what her name was. The girl frighteningly whispered, "Olivia." Nikki smiled and said. "My name is Nikki." The girl smiled and dug into her purse for her comb.
Nikki sighed and faced the front, stomach growling. It is ten o'clock, Nikki thought to herself. So if homeroom is 30 minutes long that means each class is… an hour and 30 minutes! Except for lunch, which has to only be 30 minutes? She shook her head and sat in Theater class in a daze, until the bell rang. She slowly stood up and started walking with Amber and Cameron to P.E. She walked into the gym, taking a seat on the bleachers as a funky looking man came in. He introduced himself as Coach Armstrong.
"We will start out each day with 20 laps, then stretch a bit, then start to practice a certain sport." HE said, crossing his arms.
All the students started murmuring.
"What if we don't want to?" Smart-mouthed one kid.
Coach Armstrong gave him a Look. "I really don't care what you want." He said, rolling his eyes.
Nikki was staring at him in udder disbelief. 20 laps! He must be mad! She thought to herself, and then grinned. It was the perfect way to lose weight.
After getting all the forms they would need, they were assigned their lockers. The chubby girl who Nikki sat next to in Theater was next to her, looking pale.
Nikki sighed, and when she finally heard the bell rang, she was so glad. But then remembered it was lunch time.
Cameron and Amber ran up to her. "Hey Nikki, lets walk to lunch together!" They said, pulling the book bags over their shoulders.
Nikki's face turned red. She nodded slowly as they started to walk. Cameron and Amber were talking the whole time, but Nikki was too busy trying to think of an excuse not to eat. When she walked into the cafeteria, she reached into her purse, feeling the money, but gasped.
"I have no money!" She said, sighing. She shuffled through her purse once more.
Cameron looked at her weirdly as amber dug through her purse.
"Here Nikki, I have some money you could borrow." She said, taking out 3 dollars.
Nikki shook her head fiercely. "No, uh, it's ok. I will go save us a table." She said, hurrying out of line. She ran to the only empty table she could find.
Bradin saw her go to a table without any food and walked up to her. He raised his eyebrows as he gave her a look.
"Why aren't you eating?" He said, half demanding, half worriedly.
Nikki rolled her eyes. "I forgot my lunch money at home." She said, acting as if it was no big deal.
Bradin gave her another look. "Nikki, I saw you put it in your bag last night." He said, brows rose.
Nikki looked at him, scared that he was on to her. She sighed and looked down. "This guy took it from me." She lied.
Bradin began to get angry. "Nikki, who was the guy?" He asked, getting angrier.
Nikki's heart was racing. She was totally lying. She began to cry.
Bradin got up slowly and walked over to her, sitting next to her. "Don- Don't cry Nikki! What did the guy do?" He asked, putting an arm around her.
She looked up to him, searching her mind for a lie. "He stopped me while I was running to English and pushed me down, then opened my purse and took my money." She said, sobbing.
Come on Nikki; don't let down your guard. He is on to you, don't give in. She thought to herself, still pretending to be sad.
Bradin gave her a hug. "Point him out to me the next time we see him." He said, holding her tightly.
Lucas, Cameron and Amber walked up to Nikki's, Cameron's, and Amber's table as Bradin was standing up. Amber and Cameron were there, looking worried as they looked at Nikki's tear-streaked face.
"Oh my gosh Bradin, what happened!" Demanded Nikki and Cameron.
Lucas began to laugh.
T-Tell Bradin Lucas did it! Nikki told herself.
She wiped her eyes and said loudly before Bradin could answer. "Bradin come here!" She said, waving him over. He came quickly.
She pulled him down and whispered. "Lucas did it." She said, pointing to a bruise on her arm from falling at the beach and whispered again. "That's what happened when he shoved me.
Bradin looked up at Lucas angrily.
He got up in his face.
"Man, what the fuck is your problem!" He said, shoving him.
Lucas tumbled slightly and got in Bradin's face. "What the fuck do you mean man!" He said, pushing him slightly. He turned to Nikki and grinned. "Aww, did your wittle sister get and itty- witty boo-boo?" He asked, talking in a baby face, referring to the bruise.
Cameron and Amber looked at Nikki questionably as Bradin threw Lucas to the ground.
Nikki stood up quickly, getting in the middle. "Stop! Stop it!" She demanded!
Lucas started charging towards Bradin, knocking Nikki down.
THUD!
She hit the floor hard. She got up, rubbing her head. "Owww!" She screamed, close to tears as a huge bump formed on her head.
The principal came running in, Seeing Lucas and Bradin fighting, he threw them off of each other. HE sat them down, handing Lucas a cloth for his nose.
Cameron and Amber were standing to the side, in complete shock.
Nikki leaned against the chair, dizzy.
She felt a warm hand on her shoulder as the principal helped her up, an extremely worried expression on his face.
"Nikki, are you ok! Where did Lucas throw you down?" Demanded the principal, having heard the story from Cameron.
Nikki shook her head, crying. She showed him the back of her head. The principal felt in, gasping. "Nikki, I am afraid you are going to have to go home, maybe even to the hospital." He said, making her sit down.
He called over Hank Fernandez, the strongest guy in school to pick her up. He slowly carried her to the office.'
Through her killer headache, Nikki closed her eyes and smiled. She ended up not eating.
Bradin walked next to him, holding her head.
"Nikki, I am so sorry. I am going to go home with you and make sure you are alright." He said, worry all over his face.
Nikki slowly nodded, lying down on the office bench.
Ok, in you review; tell me how I did, what I should do to make it better, suggestions for the story and if that chapter was long enough!
