Thursday morning. The irritating sound of Nicole's alarm clock woke her up at 6 am. Classes started in an hour and a half. She had gotten in late last night after her celebratory dinner with Jason. Being caught by her parents was an interesting scene. Rubbing her eyes, Nicole pulled herself from her bed. She mental prepared herself for the day as she gathered her things to go take a shower. Breakfast in an hour. Then language, then Algebra, then Social Studies, lunch, Chorus, Chemistry, and then study hall. After school she had soccer practice and then she had to go to the stables. She yawned shutting her door behind her. It was going to be one of those days. One of the days that can only be described as 'blah'. That thought brought a sudden smile to her face. Just a normal day.

'great,' she thought to herself.

'let's jinx it ok? Good job.' a few people stared at her as she smacked her forehead and sighed. But it was Kadic, insanity was expected. Nicole took a quick step back As a door opened right in front of her.

"opps. Sorry Nick." Dylan smiled.

"morning person." Nicole muttered to herself as the two walked down the hall in silence together.

"Where's Jason?" she finally asked..er..yawned. Dylan laughed and she elbowed him in the ribs.

"He's been up for hours. He left the dorm awhile ago," the blonde answered. Nicole dry washed her face with her free hand.

"nut," was all she mumbled.

"well see you later Nick." Dylan headed up the stairs while Nicole stopped to wait in line for the showers.

"Later Dyl." Yawning, she leaned against the wall.

Get up get
Get out of bed,
Shake these thoughts from my head.
Here goes another crazy day.
Try my best to find myself,
Mixed in with everybody else,
Morning's just the price we pay.

The line moved finally and she made here way into the showers. Letting her hair down, she turned the hot water on full blast.

Just one day till tomorrow,
Just one more breath till the next,
In this life there's happiness and sorrow,
Who knew it all would be this complex?

Having to completely drag herself back to her dorm, Nicole finally decided to get dressed.

Make my way,
Out into the light,
It'll be a good day,
Why put up a fight?
Take a breath,
Now I'm on my way
.

She put up her hair and grabbed her bag running out of her dorm headed for the cafeteria. Where everyone would be waiting already.

Always shot for the moon,
Land among the stars,
You can dream you life away,
Or live your life today.

Just as she thought, everyone was waiting at table. Jason looked pretty tired, and Dylan and Kai lee were laughing over breakfast.

"Don't you two seem to be getting along well." Nicole winked sitting down.

Just one day till tomorrow,
Just one more breath till the next,
In this life there's happiness and sorrow,
Who knew it all would be this complex?

Dylan blushed and Kai lee laughed.

It's an easy day,
Just another day,
It's a simple day,
Just another day,

Nicole sat down across from Jason and dropped her bag by her feet.

Gonna find a way,
Just another day.

"Morning sleepy," he smirked.

"sleep is good," she nodded.

Get up get
Get out of bed,
Shake these thoughts from my head.
Here goes another crazy day.

"We have class." Kai lee said checking her watch. Nicole grabbed Jason's apple juice and her bag.

"let's go then." she smiled and headed for class. The others shook their heads and hurried to catch up with her.

"Ok. She's either morning bipolar, or something's going to happen today we don't know about yet." Jason whispered loud enough for Nicole to hear.

"Morning bipolar?" Kai lee laughed.

"Yeah because that really exists." Dylan rolled his eyes.

"Nothing's happening today. That's what's cool." she turned around and started walking backwards.

"nothing is happening today. It's going to be a normal, ordinary day." she smiled brightly. Kai lee gave her a careful look.

"ok, so she's morning bipolar," she said tilting her head. Nicole spun around running smack into Bryan.

"good morning Angel." he said as she pulled back. He face never changed.

"good morning Bryan! Go ahead, hit on me, make my day." she stepped back between Jason and Dylan.

"finally seeing how much we're meant to be huh?" Bryan laughed. Nicole laughed louder.

"Ah, no it's a normal day. Thank you. I won't tell you off today, but be ready tomorrow." see walked off laughing towards class.

"morning bipolar." he three friends murmured. They got to their first class. Nicole was attentive and cheerful. It scared the teacher. Second hour was the same.

"Maybe she's sick," Dylan scribbled on a note to Jason.

"Maybe you're right," Jason wrote back passing it to Kai lee.

"What did you two do last night?" she passed it back to Jason.

"Ate dinner," He passed it back.

"That's it? No reason for her to be overly happy?"

"that's it."

"are you lying?"

"what do you think happened?"

"I don't know. Well.. I think I do. But that's not my point."

"dinner. Than home."

"ok ok." Dylan reached over and took the note.

"are you sure you didn't kiss her?"

"DYL!"

"did you?"

"no."

"what if I ask her?"

"I didn't."

"did you want to?"

"convo closed." The bell rang and the class filed out. Nicole was out the door first and waited for the others to catch up.

"Nicole let's talk." Jason said pulling her ahead of Dylan and Kai lee.

"What is up with you? You don't like school. You've never this happy."

"I woke up today and thought to myself 'self, it's going to be a boring day.' and then I realized the last time we had a boring day. Summer. Normal day, JT, normal. No problems." she put and emphasis on problems. Jason sighed and ruffled her hair.

"you're a nut." they walked into their third hour. Nicole's cell phone vibrated in her back pocket.

S.O.S Xana.

Nicole's eye twitched and she looked over to Jason. He sighed. Nicole the preceded to 'pass out'

"We'll take to the infirmary." Dylan put his books down and helped Jason carry Nicole into the hall. She then got on her feet, and they headed for the factory.
