"What the hell?"
The rain seemed to pour down on Nick's first day of school. He bit back the words he wanted to express to nature and merely shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He hesitated before opening the glass doors of Waverly Manner High school. He stood under the awning and breathed in the first of cold September air. Pulling out his cell phone and dialed his brother's number.

"What is it Nick?" Joe's voice spoke through the phone, "I'm trying to help dad set up the TV."

"Can you pick me up from school?" Nick sighed, "It's pouring out here man."

"I don't even know where school is just yet," Joe said, "And I honestly don't want to know."

"B-but this is your school too," Nick said, "Your going to be a senior, you know?"

"Yes, next week," he corrected, "It's still summer vacation to me little bro."

"Pick. Me. Up."

The line went dead as a gust of wind began to roar throughout the city. He gripped onto his phone and resisted the urge to throw it against the ground. Never had a first day of school seem so brutal. He put his phone back in his bag and began to walk down the steps of school.

"Hey, Jersey!"

He turned to face Alex Russo. She pulled out her umbrella and let it open as she began to face the rain. She held it over his head and nudged him to keep walking.

"Are you trying to catch cold on your first day of school?" she asked with a laugh, "Getting sick your first week of school isn't good on college applications you know."

"Right," he laughed bitterly, "It was my first to-do list when I got here."

"Let's get to the Sub Station, we can grab a sandwich together," she said casually.

"Cool," he smiled to himself as he kicked the wet floor, "I can't actually pay this time."

He glanced at her as she shook her head with a small laugh. Her dark brown curls cascaded down her back but framed her heart shaped face beautifully. Her smoky brown eyes looked forward and seemed to have a playful look in them. She turned to him, and gave him a warm smile as she noticed his eyes on hers. He turned away as he felt the heat rush to his cheeks. The two looked away from each other, as if they were caught looking at something they shouldn't have. Never had such a normal thing seemed to be invigorating.

"What was on your to-do list anyways?" she asked.

"I wanted to randomly break out in song," he joked half heartedly, "Like in High School Musical."

"I've got my sight set on you," she put her finger to the corner of her eye as she struck a pose, "And I'm ready to aim."

"I was kidding," he laughed, "I mean like…play my guitar on the subway for money."

The two dodged a puddle and began to walk with more caution as cars began to drive closer to the sidewalk, with their tires splashing against the sidewalk. Nick couldn't help but stare as the puddles seemed to crash against the sidewalk like waves.

"We've got a pretty good music store here at Waverly," she said, "One of my favorite places to be actually."

"You play?" he asked, feeling himself grow more and more interested in Alex than he was originally.

"Probably better than you," she teased.

He poked her at her rib causing her to lose grip on her umbrella as a strong gust of wind pulled it out of her hands. She stood with her mouth open as the umbrella tumbled against the sidewalk. His laugh was loud, enough to fill the streets of New York City. She lifted her leg and swung it towards his shin. He jerked back and into the edge of the sidewalk. As if in slow motion, he watched as a limo drove quickly through a puddle causing a splash to fall over him. He looked up in horror as Alex held her laughter as she extended her hand towards him.

"Welcome to New York Jersey."
