Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home
In the early Monday morning wakes almost everyone slowly up in Norrisville, ready for a new work week, school week and more…Well...The most people..
Our story starts by a 14 year old girl sleeps still in her new and also, her old room…
When the sun is beginning to shine in her face, she turns around, triyng to continue her sleep. In her room are standing a few boxes and bags that still needs to be sorted out. Her bed, bedside table, tv, desk with mirror above and her wardrobe are already standing in a permanent place. Her room is also painted with a Ocean blue paint with above her bed is a painting of the Caribbean beach and further what posters from London, Paris and New York .
On the bedside table, is a clock radio going off. Nicole moans and puts her pillow on her head so she cannot hear the sound. If that has no effect, she slaps with her pillow on the clock radio that fast stops beeping. Satisfied she lays her head back on the pillow and closes her eyes again.
"Nicole! Wake up! "calls a woman voice from downstairs.
Nicole moans again and pulls the blanket over her head. "Just five more minutes mom! "calls she back.
"Nicolette Valentine, come on! It's your first day of school and you should'nt be late! "
When she hears that, Nicole let a sigh out and goes sitting on the edge of her queen size bed."Okay ...I can't make it to not appear on my first school day.. "says she as she tries to walk to her desk. As she state in front of the mirror, she looked at herself with a half sleepy look in her bright blue eyes. When she picks up the brush from her toilet bag, she begins to brush her chocolate brown colored hair that falls above her waist.
When she is finally done with putting her clothes on and her make up, she checks how she look in the mirror before going downstairs. She wears lilac colored shirt with long sleeves, dark blue jeans and a new pair of white shoes... how her aunt called them ...Mckicks? "Don't make any sense, they are super awesome! ' "
She runs out her room. Above the stairs, she sit on the stair railing and slides at the end of the rail, she graps quickly the pole that is stuck to the trap and whisk with a smooth move off the rail,towards the living room.
In the kitchen is a blond woman with chocolate-colored eyes, she wears a white blouse and a beige-colored top with underneath a black jeans with a pair of flat shoes. "Good morning sunshine... "says the woman with an Britisch accent and gives her a huge. "Morning mom... "says she as she is sitting next to her.
"Have you get some sleep? "asks the woman.'
'Yeah…only…I have still some…bad dreams…''
''Well…the good news is that you can sleep again since…you know..''
Nicole nods and stirs her small bowl with..Mcfistios?! "Mom...Why does all products called Mc ...something? "
"The city is almost running by Hannibal Mcfist ... everything is on his name.. " tells her mom before she take a sip from her coffee.
"Ah ... that explains ... just everything ... " says Nicole as she stirs her spoon in her bowl.
The woman nods and looks at her watch."I have to go to my first work day.. " The woman gets up and gives her daughter a kiss on her head. "Have a great first school day ... and if you want, you can ask Lindsey coming after school ... If you two don't break the house off.. "
"Mom ... a larger mess if it is now ... can't hardly be.. "says Nicole when she points to the living room.
The woman grins and shakes her head. "I'm glad my Cherry hasn't lost her feeling of humor ... especially after the accident and that we have moved without ... "says she emotional and let out a shaking sigh.
Nicole looked up and give the woman a pitty look as she stands up. " Mom.. "says she as she puts the woman in a hug. The woman swallows and hugged her daughter back. "Have fun... " says she.
" I will.. " admited Nicole.
"And one more little thing.. "says she as pick something of the floor.
The woman put a ice blue backpack on the table, in the front of Nicole. "Don't forget this .. "
Nicole smiles and rolled playful with her eyes. "Hilarious mom... "' says she as she let the woman laugh.
''' Cheerio!" calls she with a smile.
"Cheerio! "says Nicole and eat of the Mcfistios. "Hm ...that taste not bad... Wow…they are good!Hm! "
...Moments later...
A car drives off to the road. On the road, cars pass him by or he pass them. The driver drives to the centre of Norrisville,the driver see school children walking on the side walk. The car stops at a crosswalk as Nicole is waiting. The driver raises his hand as a sign that she can walk. Nicole walks quickly to the other side and greet the driver. She walk close to the shopping streets with the background noise of talking adult, school children, pets and sounds of she looks around her. "'Wow ... There is a lot of changes here in those few years…."'whispers she.
Ahead of her is the building seeing of Norrisville High school. "'I hope that this day...*sigh* haven't to too much surprises….or a second Mandy...''say she as she looks at the building. ''Norrisville High ...Fortunately not as big as Angeles High...This is THE famous school where dad and Danny talked about it...Well, now it's my turn...'' says she as she walks towards to front doors of the school.
Suddenly, she walks the school in and sees some students walking around and talk to each other. '"This is'nt so bad..'' But then she hears a bell. Students starting bashing her and pushes her away. When she is out of the crowd,she looks around her. "'The classes are going to start.I need to find the principal and quick…. .But where I should start?!''
She is going to walk in a hall and notice that she alone. She takes a piece of paper out of her backpack. ' "Where should that office be?''
A few halls away from her,are two boys running for there lifes. ''Run Cunningham! If we are late in class again,we are getting dentition again!If we getting dentition again,our parents take our games off for a whole week!...Again!''shouted a orange haired boy
.' 'I know!I know!...How could I know that my bike got a flat tire?''shouted the purple haired boy.
''I don't know….maybe because you driving full speed into pieces of broking glass on the road!''
''Or because you stopping out nothing in the middle of know where!''
''He! I saw that the McIce Salon was coming up with a brand new candy department!''
''Of course…'''
The boys did'nt see that they running up to someone, too late for stopping and both of them bumping into the person. The boys are still seizing to their head while the attacking person falls against the lockers. Her chocolate hair falls for her face and her backpack lay in a corner."'Ouch.. '''says she.
Great….just great….first day and allready a good start...
"Cunningham! Watch where you run! ''she hears someone saying.
"'What!? You did it too! ' "says the boy named Cunningham.
.''Well...Where are you waiting for? ' '
' 'Howard, we can't just go... ' '
' 'I know that! So let's get help….that chick! "'
Nicole takes the hair from her face away and sees a long thin purple haired boy with sapphire blue eyes, to him is a what chubby little orange haired boy with hazel brown eyes.
She notices that the boys are watching at her and gives them a quizzical look.
' ' Sorry sorry, we did'nt saw you... ' "says Randy and kneels down next to her. She sees that he and the other guy offer her a hand, the girl picks up both of their hands. ' "Thanks ... ' ' says she as Randy grabs her backpack and gives him to her.
' "Usually, we better watch where we run. "'He says guilty before he looks at his friend who stands next to him.
' "Yeah...We had to hurry ... and still now too.. ' "Howard says as he points behind him.
The girl give the guys a nod. ' "It's okay... I understand...' "
There is a silence between the girl and the boys for a couple of seconds before the girl let out a sigh and looked a little akward at them. ''Uhm ... Maybe I sound really stupid but...Can you guys tell me where I can find the office of Principal Slimovitz?'' asks she.
Howard give the girl glance. ' 'Oh yeah sure... That's the door...right over there. "'says he as he points to a door a few meters from them.
' "Oh thanks, I think I can do that... ' ' answered she as she looked in the direction that Howard pointed.
' 'You are a new kid, aren't you?'' asks Howard as he give her another glance.
The girl groan inside by hearing those two words.. '' Is it very very good to see? ' " answered she a little irritated for some reason.
Randy and Howard look at each other before they looking back at her.
"Uhmm yes... ' "says Howard honest.
''To which class are you going? ' "asks Randy.
' "Freshman. ' ' asnwered Nicole.
' 'Freshman? Bruce! We are also freshmen... '' says Randy as he puts his right arm around Howard.
The girl smiles friendly at them.…Bruce…that sounds funny…
"'Cunningham, we really need to run….AGAIN!. ' "Howard says and runs away.
' "Maybe we see you soon. ' "says Randy and run behind his best friend.
The girl looks still at them as they leave her spot. ' "Wait! Who are ...*groan* nevermind ... I see you guys soon….What a wild ducks. ' "She says and walks to the door of the office and knock on it.
When the boys are out of the girl's scene, Randy let his thoughs roll through his mind about the girl and looked at Howard. ' "Hey Big-H...Doesn't she looks familiar?…Don't we knowing her from somewhere? ' ' '
''There are so many girls at this school... How should I know?! And btw, she is clearly a new kid..Maybe sent by Mcfist..But that sounds ridiculous.."'says Howard and noticed that Randy stops with running.
With wide eyes looked Randy at him. "'As she is...Then we must proceed cautiously...Each weird move of that babe can be our dead.. ' 'says Randy serious and get a weird look from his bro.
' 'Wait, Did you just call that new chick a babe? "
Randy give him a questioning look. 'You still call her a chick...''
Toughfully and nodding looked Howard at him before he pointed at him.''Touché…''
…At Math Class…
Randy and Howard are lying at their desk, Howard looked bored at the blackboard as Randy looked and playing with his pencil.
''Seriously….if I get a dollar for every time I fall asleep during this lesson.I would be a millionaire. "'says Howard who is trying to stay awake.
' "Absolutely... "'says Randy still playing with his pencil, who's accidentally flies out of his hand and ends up against the back of a superlight golden blond haired girl.' "' Ouch! ' she says and turns light brown eyes looks angry to Randy. "'Seriously?!This is already the third time! ' "says she angry and throws the pencil back at him.
' "Sorry Lindsey… I am so bored hardcore... ' '
Lindsey sigh. "'Don't talk me about it...I hate Math Class. ' '
' 'Speaking of class, we have coach Green today. "'Howard says getting remind.
"We are absolutely together in that duo-lesson! ' "says Randy.
They give each other a little bro slap before they calling' "School Partnership!"
Lindsey shakes her head in the front of her. "'They are still doing that.. 'whispers she.
"'What the juice Wester?!….Don't you have a school partnership with your best friend or something? ' "Howard says irritated by the girl. The blond girl turned her head back to the boys.' "If you care...My best friend isn't here, she lives in another city. "'says Lindsey.
"'Another city?' "asks Randy as he joins the chatting.
' "Yeah..Our fathers are friends and we spent a lot of time with each other here in N-Ville...But a few years later got her father a new job in another city and she moves...I still speaking her..' "She tells.
' 'Wow, that's very special.I shouldn't know what to do without Howard at my side. "'says Randy surprised as he points to Howard as example. Lindsey nods as she give him a little smile."Yeah...I miss her so much... "
There sounds a knock on the door, and the principal walks in the class."'May I just bother? '' asks he. The teacher nods and sits down, pointing at the place in the front of the classroom. P-Slimo clears his throat before he speaks.' 'Class, today we have a new studente….She just moved and it would be nice if you guys helps her to find the way at school…As you know what I mean… ' "tells the principale.
Randy laughs and punched Howard's shoulder. "'I think it's the girl that we just met. 'whispers he.
"' It will surprise me. ''says Lindsey as she hear Randy saying that.
"'You mean raced...You went so smooth.. ' "Howard says.
' "Just me?You was joying me too bro..''
''That sounds a lot more sense."says Lindsey grinning.
"'Let me I introduce you to our newest student of Norrisville High. "'says P-Slimo and looks the girl with a smile and a ''Come on...Don't be shy..''
The girl walks slowly into the classroom, she looked alienated around her, but when she see the blond girl in the front...she stared to laugh.
' "No honkin way... ''whispers Lindsey with a big smile on her face.
' "Tell us a little bit about yourself. "'the principal says as the girl stands next to him.
The girl cleared her throat before she looked at her new classmates. ''Well...uhmm...my name is Nicole Valentine. I was born in Norrisville and on my seventh, I moves to Angeles Hills...and now I'm back again in Norrisville...yay...uuhhmm... I like sports, games and hanging out with my friends? ' "She says the last cheerfully nervous with no idea what to say anymore.
The principal nods to her."'Well...How nice..I have to go now..Welcome in Norrisville High...Later! "says the principal and goes away. Nicole looked after him before she hear the teacher calling her.
"'Miss Valentine..Hmm...Family of Daniel Valentine maybe? And Richard Valentine?'' asked the Math teacher. Nicole laughs nervous at the glance he give her and give him a small nod. ''Maybe...'' says she nervous. That man also know my dad?! Man, how old is this guy?!
She hear the teacher sigh deeply. ''Oh mother of sweet math...''
''HEY, NO SWEARING MR. GRAY!'' exclaims Lindsey, let Nicole and some other students laughing.
''Alright...We are going to start..Miss. Valentine...Take a seat...Maybe next...uhmm...Miss Wester?" suggest Mr. Gray and points to Lindsey, who nods smiling and she beckons to the empty seat next her.
Nicole give the teacher a small nod before she walked to the sit. When she stands before the desk and she and the blond haired looked each other for a moment, they both stared to scream what makes a few students scare up from their sits.
Still scearming stands the blond one from her desk and hugged the new girl.
''OH MY CHEESE! IT'S YOU!''shouted Lindsey
' 'YEAH IT'S ME! SURPRISED?''shouted Nicole back.
' "TOTALLY! HOLY MOTHER OF COMMISSIONER WALKER!' " shouted Lindsey happy.
''MISS WESTER! NO SWEARING!'' exclaims the math teacher to the hugging girls.
''SORRY!''says Lindsey guilty.
The girls laughing before they let each other go and sitting down to their desks. Linsey still looking surprised.''But...How.''
"'Long story sis...I'm so thankful that we at last sitting together with our most hated class. ''says Nicole whipsering the last part as the teacher looking at them. ''I hope you girls stay more alert than your brothers and fathers...and yes...I have hope for you girls...But I think that's a bad idea...'' says Mr. Gray as he give them both a strange look
. The girls nods in understanding before the man continued his lesson. Both girls chuckeld in silence.' "This is gonna be so much fun..Let me see your schedule. Maybe this hasn't to be our only class together. "' says Lindsey.
Nicole looks quick in her bag and give it to her."'There we go. "'
Lindsey watch it and starts smiling. "'Guess what?...We have the same schedule! ' '
' 'AWESOME! ' ' exclaims Nicole.
' 'School Partnership! ' "calls Lindsey.
"'Hey, that's our thing Wester! ' "Howard says insults.
Nicole laughs at this and turns around to face the boy. Surprised she looking to the boys."'Hey, you guys! " Lindsey looks at her questioningly.''Wait...You know them?''as she points to the bro's and see Nicole nodding. ''Yeah...They running up to me early this morning…''
Randy scratches smiling behind his head. ' "Yeah...Sorry for that, we were very late. ' ' ' 'Believe me, it was not the first time."'Howard says shaking his head. ' "So...Is she your friend where you told us about? "'says Randy.
' "Uhu, she is my best friend forever and ever and after that.."said Lindsey and embraces Nicole. ' "We are this since kindergraten.. ' "says Nicole with a smile. Randy smiles and nods.
"'Just like you and me Cunningham. "'Howard says. ' "Those were Bruce times. ' "says Randy and look at Nicole. Wait...kindergraten? She?...Uhmm...I can't remember that part...
"Are your guys friends? "'asks Nicole and points to the boys and Lindsey. "'Earlier good classmates…my name is Randy by the way. ' "says Randy. ' "And I'm his best bromigo Howard.' "Howard says. ' "Nice to meet you guys. ' " Nicole says smiling and turns forward.
Randy and Howard look each other. "'Maybe she is'nt working for Mcfist..I mean...As even Wester know her...And Mr. G her whole family history...'''whispers Howard.
"Maybe,but we keep an eye on her..''whispers Randy back.
After Math Class, is Nicole looking for her locker. With a piece of paper in her hand, she checks the numbers above the lockers."Twenty two,twenty three... Ah there…Yes!''she says as she stands in the front of her locker. Relieved she let out a sigh. ''Thank goodness! This lockers are bigger than the ones of Angeles High!"' As she wanna use the combination of the locker, opened the locker by himself. She scared and let out a scream when she see a gothic boy hanging up in her locker. ''W-w-w-what...What are you doing there?! ' "
The gothic boy smiled upsite down, Nicole takes some steps back from the locker as the guy falling out of it. She looked at him worried and a little kneeling at him. ''A-a-a-are you okay?''ask she as she wanna offer him a hand. The guy stand up quick and looked at her...typical..with a creepy laugh on his face."'Sorry, lady I never see before, I didn't know this locker was also taken..." answered he as he stands up.
''Well...It isn't such a big deal or something...I think...'' answered she the last unsure.
The gothic smiled at her before he bends a little. ''I'm greeting you, unknowing lady.'' says he before he leaves her. Nicole points and looked confused from him to her locker,and again…and again. ''But...How..How he just…how he just come...'' stuttered she.
From behind is Lindsey coming to her and lies her right hand on her left shoulder.
''Who...Who was he?'' asked Nicole as she sees Lindsey.
"'That was Julian ... He is a little bit weird, but doesn't hurt anyone as you think that... ' "says Lindsey.
"'Good to know that. ''says Nicole while she puts her things in the locker. When she closed her locker, she is be grabed by her arm by Lindsey.
''Come on! Let me talking you by about this school and people... "says Lindsey walks with Nicole and passed some students with marching band outfits. ''Who are they?''ask Nicole as she points towards the kids. The girls looking both behind them as Lindsey begin to laugh.
"Ohhh them! The brown haired girl is Flute girl.''
''Flute girl?''
''Yeah...everybody calling her so, because she plays the flute... she is a bit of a smart mouth and enjoying as you see the marching band ... the blond haired boy next to her is Bucky, he's the triangle player of the marching band and is often chased by Bash. ' '
' 'Bash? Who's Bash?"'
Lindsey points to the large brown haired boy who put some random student in the trash can. Nicole looked at him a little bit irritated before she faced Lindsey. ''Bully?''
' "Bully... and the stepson of Hannibal Mcfist. ' '
' 'Your kidding? ' "says Nicole incredulously and points to Bash. "'That Wacko? "'
Lindsey nods. ''It still surprise me...Look! Do you see those girls with red violet AMD orange hair?"says she as points to some lockers next to her.
Nicole nods as she see those girls chatting with each other. "Uhm...Yes?"
''The red haired is Morgan, she is the leader of the school dance group, dancing fish...She's pretty cool.''
''Uhu...and what's up with the ginger haired?''
''That's Heidi...and...just in case...Stay away from her for a couple of days...'' whispers the blond girl. Nicole's grow and looked at the blond amazed. ''WHY?!'' says the brunette.
''Because she has an internet school cast...and she interview every new kid...and''
''It's seeing by the whole school!''says the girls in the same time, Lindsey looked Nicole amazed will she get up het shoulders. ''Yeah...Sounds like the Crew-Cast from A.H...Except she works solo...I know that type of people...Let me guess, she's popular and sassy...''
''Uhmmm...Yes, but in a different light...she's really nice and thankful.. she's also the sisiter of Howard you met at math...And do you remember Randy? She says his name fault all the time ..She calls him Sandy, Candy, Andy... Mandy. ' "
Nicole groans angry by hearing the last name. "'Mandy ... still a ugly name. ' " says she irritated. Lindsey laughs at her groaning friend and lies her hand on her shoulder. "'Relax Tiger. '. '
Soon they hear the next Bell.
"'We have chemistry... We gonna handle some Chemistry formules...Yay!' 'says Lindsey the last part sarcastic.
' 'Shweet! "'says Nicole happy and coughs at the same time when she get a look from Lindsey. "'I mean..uh..okay...pff...Chemistry.. ' " answered she quick if she didn't care about that.
Lindsey raises her eyebrown. ''Oh sure...Miss Chemistry nerd...''says she with a grin and let Nicole irritated groan. ''That I'm good in Chemistry...doesn't make me a nerd...I didn't call you Miss History nerd..''says Nicole as she whispers the last part as she walked away from her.
Lindsey looked her confused from behind her. ''THAT'S NOT THE SAME! CHEMISTRY IS FOR NERDS, HISTORY IS FOR...UH...''
''PEOPLE WHO WANNA HANG IN THE PAST...NOW COME ON WESTER!'' says Nicole hurry.
...Chemistry Class...
In Chemsitry, spot Nicole a few new students she haven't see yet. She tap on Lindsey's shoulder to get her attention.
"'Who are those girls? "' whispers she as she points to a girl with short hair with dark violet hair and lavender strings, wearing a yellow school tunic and twiler with a baton.
Lindsey let out a smile and crossed her arms.' "That is Theresa Fowler, she is a member of the Baton Twirl team and Der monster club.'' tells she.
' 'Club? What is a club? ' ' asks Nicole.
' 'That's just Eastern European for club. "' answered Lindsey. Nicole nods and points to the other girl."'And the girl next to her?''
''Debbie Kang, she is very smart and has a weak for Mexican death bears. ' '
' 'But those are life-threatening! What's so nice about them? ' 'says Nicole looked Lindsey amazed. The girl holds her shoulders up. ' 'She find them cute, don't ask me why. ' '
' 'And with who are you...you know..hanging out from school?''
' 'Uhmm...With them and the other girls you just saw... "'
Nicole nods again and pays her attention to the lesson when she hear her teacher talk...while she embrace a skeleton?!
"'Alright class, Who can tell me what the formula of glucose? "'asks Mrs Driscoll.
Nicole shaked her head by this question. You gonna be kidding me..."' C6, H12, O6.. ' "says Nicole fast and attracts the attention of all her classmates. Amazed looks looked at her, even the teacher is impressed.
' "That is correct ... Miss Valentine. "'says Mr. Driscoll with the voice of his wife.
"'And the Chemistry nerd also answered this questation correct! "' says Lindsey, acting like a quiz master.
Nicole rolled with her eyes and give Lindsey a punch to her shoulder. ''OUCH!...man...you punched really hard for a girl you know!''says she painful rubbing her shoulder.
"'The next one, what is the formula of Ethanol? ' '
' ' C2H6O... '' says Debbie right before Nicole can even open her mouth to say something.
"'Very well Miss Kang…And one last question but also the most difficult one...Specify the two formulas of Propanol. ' '
' ' CH3CH2CH2OH ... and the second is ... uh ... '' says Debbie and think hard about the second one.
'' CH3CHOHCH3...BANG!' "says Nicole quick and proudly while she laugh with closed eyes. When she opened them, she see the whole class looking at her in amazed. With a nervous grin she exchange a glance with Lindsey who's shaking her head. ''It's that we are best friends...but sis...take a easy! It's embarrassingly!''whispers she.
' "Correct ladies, the class can take an example from you two. ' "says Mrs Driscoll.
"'Nerdkang has competition.''says Howard to Randy making both boys laugh. ' "We have a new chemistry nerd…the new chick. "
'''Hey...easy...I find it still suspicious..I mean...after Debbie Kang, nobody can have so much fun about Chemistry. ' '
''Yeah...I know...I barely survived the first chapter of the textbook..Suspicious?!...Really Cunningham?!...It looks she's just another nerd who tries to be a teacher's pet..''hear Nicole Howard saying and turns immeditily around, facing the boy.
' 'I'm sorry but what?!...Who says that I wanna be a teacher's pet?!...Because Chemistry is my thing doesn't make me a teacher's pet or a Chemistry nerd!...I mean, come on! What do you guys have against with the words ''CHEMISTRY NERD''?!''says Nicole irritated as she points from Howard to Lindsey and back. ''I mean...DO I LOOK LIKE ONE?! I LOOK LIKE ONE DO I?'' says she as pointed from her hair, clothes and shoes.
Howard and Lindsey give each other a look before Lindsey facepalmed and shaking her head. ''Oh my juice...Nikki...'' answered the blond.
Nicole looked uncertain from them to Randy. ''What do you thing?'' asks she.
''Hey hey hey! Don't put me in this conversation!''says he a little bit in panic as he get three pair of eyes on him, making him nervous.
''You know what...forget it...Bysides, I find Chemistry nerd sounded like a compliment...'' admited she with a slight sort of sarcasm in her voice. The boys didn't hear anything, but Lindsey know Nicole too good that she HATE to be called Chemistry Nerd by someone else than Lindsey.
''And there we go again!...This is all the fault of you guys, don't bully her because she's smart..''
''Oh yeah! Blame me and Cunningham for it! As you know what we call you from behind your back!''says Howard and stared a conversation with Lindsey. She looked at him very angry and groans a little. ''OH YEAH?! LIKE WHAT?!''
Randy and Nicole give each other a glance as they looking at their swearing best friends. ''Sooo...''says Nicole wondering and give Randy a friendly glance as she raised an eyebrown. ''Are they always like this?''
Randy chuckled a little. ''Nah...sometimes...They have a so called hate-love relationship.''
Nicole keep her right hand for her mouth to hide her chuckle. ''No way! Why I didn't know this ealier?! This is gonna be so much fun..''
Lindsey and Howard give each other a deadly look before Lindsey turned around from him. ''Girls...''mumbeld Howard and turned to Randy...and Nicole.''What are you two looking?!''
Both let out a laugh before Nicole turned also back from them, facing Lindsey. Nicole shakes her head by seeing the irritated look from her BFF. "Hey...at last..You never haven't handle Mandy...As you can handle her..believe me...than you can handle everybody.."whispers she and noticed that one of the girls in the front of her, turned around and facing her.
"Nicole wasn't it? ' "asking Debbie.
"'Yes, that's right. ''
''You're good, I'm impressed. I always though I was the only one who has a thing for Chemistry..''
' 'Thank you, you weren't bad too..''
''Welcome to Norrisville, I'm Debbie.''says Debbie and shakes the hand of Nicole. ''Nice to meet you...''
Theresa accidentally turns her baton harder than usual and let him fly in the air.
' "Oops.. ' "
She baton flies to Nicole,but she get him before it hit her face. ''That….was….so….close…''says she and gives the baton back to Theresa. "'Sorry about that.."
''It's okay..'"
Theresa sticking her hand.' "I'm Theresa, nice to meet you. ' "
"'Nice to meet you too.''Nicole says and smile when she shakes Theresa's hand.
"'What bring you here in Norrisville? ' "asking Debby.
''Well...I...We...We...My mom and I...''stuttered Nicole and let out a sigh as she hear the school bell ringing. Saved by the bell...It's too soon to tell my new classmates about...the accident..
''LUNCH TIME! FINALLY!''says Howard proud.
Nicole grabs Lindsey's arm as they stand up from they desk. ''COME! SHOW ME THE CAFETERIA!''says she agitated.
'' Uhmm...s-s-s-sure ...we see you girls later... "'said Lindsey to Theresa and Debby and give Nicole a ''WHATS UP?!''' look as they walking towards the cafeteria.
...In the cafeteria...
'' I still find it honkin awesome that you're back here! Like as our old days back.."'says Lindsey when she walks in the cafeteria with Nicole. Nicole give her nod will her eyes looking down. ''Yeah...old days...'' whispers she and let out a sigh. ''We're in THE school where our dads met each other...where they became best bro's and...'' ''Nikki."
Nicole looked up as Lindsey cut her off, Lindsey give her a pitty look and puts her left arm around her shoulders. ''I know that you still find it difficult to talk about...you know...the accident...And I know you too good that you always wanna put that feeling back in your head...BUT NOT THIS TIME VALENTINE!'' says Lindsey as she see Nicole's mouth opened to say something, but shut it down and cocked an eyebrown. She smirked and give her a smile.
''And that's the reason why your my best sis...''
''Untill the end?'' asks Lindsey with a raised eyebrown. Nicole nods and puts her right arm around Lindsey's shoulders. ''Untill the end...'' answered she.
The girls shared a hug before they continued their walk to the line. ''But we have to keep the name Valentine and Wester high... the RickyBoy and the Andyman were trouble makers, their sons were trouble makers...and now...''
''Their daugthers are gonna be trouble makers?'' says Nicole asking as Lindsey nodded. ''Oh yeah sis...For sure..'' answered she as both picking up a tray and gets some food. As they payed for their lunch, they turn around and looking for sit. ''Where are you sitting usually? "' asked Nicole.
"'Usually there...with Resa and Debbie. "'said Lindsey and points to a table left behind. Nicole looked in her direction as she see the two girls...and also two other boys at the other side of the same table.
"'Hey, those are the same boys by math and chemistry class? Randy and Howard? ' '
' 'Yes,thats true. ' "said Lindsey sighing.
"'Come on...I think Randy is nice..Howard can be rude..but can also nice by the time…''
''They are so…so…guys guys.''
''You mean that their whole life is about video games, doing gross and idiot? Huh? I'm right?'' says Nicole with a big grin on her face will her eyebrowns moving up and down.
The blond girl groans in frustration as they walked towards the table, will Nicole bursts into laughter. ''I take that as a Yes!'' says she.
"'Hey girls. "'said Lindsey when she stands close by Debby and Theresa.
"'Hey Lindsey and Nicole. "'say the girls as the two girls take a sit at their table. Lindsey is going to sit at the corner of the table, will Nicole just gonna sit between her and Randy. The new girl shaked her head in don't understanding before she take a sip from her drink.
Will everybody at the table eating their lunch, Theresa is the one who breaks the silence after a couple of minutes.
'' So...uhm...H-how is school so far Nicole? ' "asked she friendly.
Nicole looked up from her lunch and give her a thoughful look."'Well...uhm...I-I think it is'nt so bad as I though..."says Nicole.
' "It's still a miracle that there wasn't a monster attack this morning. ' "says Lindsey unamused.
"'Monsters? "'asked Nicole a little confused.
' "Yeah, or a robot attack. ' "says Debbie as she take a bit from her sandwich.
"'Wait...Robot attack? Oh brother...I forgot that this is THE school of THOSE WEIRD ATTACKS..." whispers she and shaked her head. I can't remember that much...I was just seven...but what I know about those attacks...That they are bad news...Daniel always told me some stories about the attacks from this high school when he had breaks and dad agreed with him because he known what Danny was talking about...ofcourse...but I though it was just a ''Fantasy stories'' of them to get me nightmares...Well now I know that I'm so wrong!
The boys give each other a confused look as they hear the chat of the girl. ''Ahhhh...Did I hear that just right?'' asked Randy out loud, catching the attention of the four girls. ''Has no one tells you about the attacks or something like that?'' asked he will he looked at Nicole.
' "Didn't you telled her, Wester? "' says Howard .
'' It's none of your business Weinerman!"'says Lindsey.
'' Hey! Calm down! Both of you!'' says Nicole as she points at the two students in threat. '' I know SOMETHING about the attacks...I only forgot it...And btw The Ninja is still around here to protect Norrisville High right?"'says she as she gets some looks from the others.
''Wait...you still know him? AFTER SEVEN YEARS?''says Lindsey confused.
''OFCOURSE! I'M NOT THAT STUPID! Bysides, Daniel always told me stories about him...about THE great ninja with his weapons and skills and...I don't have to tell you THAT story..AGAIN...Right?'' tells Nicole as she sees Lindsey face-palm.
''Please...don't...remember...me.''says Lindsey and starts to eat from her salade.
Nicole laugh about her will Randy smile satisfied. "'You know him...and that's the importent thing, he's the brucest person ever.'' says he, let her facing him.
' 'And we are he's biggest fans!...Unless the ninja is the biggest fan of himself...hahah ' "Howard says a little grinning on that though, let Randy rolling his eyes a little.
''Tipical guys..."says Lindsey.
"'But he really comes whenever there is a monster or robot attack at school? Like every second ATTACK? Right?"'asks Nicole.
' "Yes, that's right. "'says Theresa.
"'And that happened so...every day?! ' "asks Nicole again.
' "Yep. ' " answered Howard.
' "Wow, that ninja is a really busy man! But better he ALWAYS showed up..."says Nicole as she puts her right hand in her hair to get some hair out of her face and placed behind her right ear.
Randy starts laughing in himself about the girls just said. Don't tell me about it...Maybe your not a spy from Mcfist…but just a normal new kid…THANK CHEESE! Finally a normal new kid!
''But where are these monsters or robots come from? I mean, is there any clue that someone send them or something?"asks Nicole curious.
I and my big mouth...well...though...WHY SHE WANNA KNOW THAT?! MAYBE SHE IS A SPY! OH MY CHEESE!
' "Usually students ... which are stanked. "' says Howard without knowing it.
' "Stanked? ' "asked she amazed.
In panic at what Howard just said, Randy gives him a kick under the table right against his knee. "OUCH! HEY! What ?!...Oh..'' says Howard when he get it and laughed nerves.
''If you tells something, tell it good….Howard mean that those students are never thanked when they doing something good…and no stanked... that would be weird. ' "says Randy.
Nicole look from him to Howard and back. "'Alright fanjas, If you say so. ' "says she with a smile.
Randy feels uncomfortable when they starting talking about ninja stuff. ''But enough about the ninja, is there something that you still don't know but would like to know? "'asks Randy,trying for an another subject.
"'Yeah, how are the teachers? Today I have only seen that Mrs Driscoll is rather attached to a skeleton...and I think the Math teacher don't even like me.."'says Nicole and looks to the other questioningly.
"'Ah..This is gonna be a nice list. ' "Howard says.
' "That skeleton is her husband, she is married with it..She act him like he is still alive…Then we have our own Principal….P-Slimo!You already met him. His car is always destroyed into a monster fight or robot attack! ' ' '
'Every time? "'Nicole says laughing.
"'Yes and there's more….Our PE teacher,coach Green likes very very dangerous gym things ... barbeque ball, blindfolded archery ...and so on...The Fire Department has concerns about the local security. "'says Lindsey.
''Don't forget our noisy English teacher ... If you don't look out, he throws a shoe to your head. ' "says Randy.
' "Mr. Driscoll gives us even home economics. ' "says Theresa.
Nicole looks at her confused. ' "A skeleton that teaches us? ' "She says smiling.
"'You don't still believe it..."says Debbie.
"'That sounds a lot more exciting than on my old Angeles High was only the fire brigade exercise the most exciting what happened. ' ' '
'Angeles High?That's definitely an hour or two away from here. ' "says Debbie.
Nicole nods. "'You're not going easily up and down driving from town to town…Sometimes we stayed by other to spend the vacations together…Mostly by me…because Miss Shopaholic likes the beach and the shopping boulevard…"says Nicole.
''And that's the true! You can good shopping there!''says Lindsey.
"The normal here is only lunch. "'Howard says.
' "A tip: bring your own lunch on Tuesday.. ' "says Randy.
' "Why? ' '
' 'That meat…they get from the highway.. ' "
Nicole shivers when she hear that. ''No way!That is so Gross.''
''It is'nt so bad ... with a little bit of curry. "'Howard says.
The Group hears screaming school students.''And….there we go again…''says Randy as he see some lame robot dog breaking some tables and trouble from his arch enemies.
Scares the students running out of their sits, towards the closest exit of the cafeteria.
''Come on!"said Lindsey and garb Nicole's arm.
' "What happened there? ' " Nicole asks to see them in her corner of the red smoke. ' "The ninja! ' "She says softly.
"'Where are you waiting for Valentine?! Run!"'Howard calls racing.
' "Valentine? ' "asks Nicole and watching Lindsey to.
' "He's cool with you…sort of. ' "She says.
"Cool! ' "says Nicole and discovered that she has forgotten her backpack and runs back to the cafeteria.
She looks carefully of the coast is clear. The canteen is in part demolished, quickly she grabs her backpack and rushes away. In her hurry she runs into a person and fall on the ground. Really….again!?...
"Sorry, my fault.. "says Nicole and sees a person with a black and red suit and mask on stand up and its a hand reaches out.
"It was also my mistake. "says he kindly and pulls her up.
"Hey, you're the ninja aren't you? "
The ninja nods. "I know it sound kinda weird...But have you seen a robot dog? "
Nicole shakes her head and hears something behind her. She turned fast around and get quick out of the way when the robot dog wanna attack ninja jumps up and lands on the dog's taile. The dog barks furiously and his eyes turning red, let the barking gets louder and affects the ears of the ninja and Nicole.
' "AAAHHH! MY EARS!" shouted both in pain.
"Is'nt there something that you can do to make it stop?!"asks Nicole as she walks to the ninja.
"I cannot thinK WITH THAT WONKIN NOISE!" exclaimed he.
The mad dog are walking up to them. He looked both deadly and bites in a second moment in the arm of Nicole. The girl screamed out of pain and fear. ''OOUCCCHHH! STOP IT!''
' 'Hey!Let her go!''said the ninja angry.
Instead of listing to the ninja, the dog run off with Nicole'arm in his mouth. 'The ninja looked confused after him.'You are soo the badest dog in the history of bad dogs!''shouted he and runs after them.
Nicole tries to break free in the meantime ,but it hurts even more…''Stupid dog! Man...Now I understand why I didn't get a puppy...''says she as the running to a door.
They soon standing outside of NHS and the dog stands still.
"Hey! Let me go! You're hurting me! I think I lost the feeling in me arm! SET ME DOWN YOU HORRIBLE TRASH EATER!"
By this words, The dog throws her in the air, let she scream. ''I DON'T MEAN IT LITTERLY! AHHHHHHHH!''
"Ninja rescue scarf! " The ninja wraps his scarf around a pole and hurls him to Nicole. She lands in his arms and safe on the ground. "Thank you thank you thank you! "say she still shaking of fear.
"'You're safe now, that's the most important thing.. ' '
' 'I still cannot fit into this things... "
'"Hey...It will be soon a habit..''says the ninja sighing."It's okay. "
They are standing this so for a moment.
"'Uhm..would you like me maybe.. ' 'says the ninja as he hear some noise behind him.
' 'Oh right, of course ... "' she says and let him putting her down, will she looks at her arm. ' "Ouch...that robot dog has a powerful bite. ' "She says and looks at her painfully arm with metal teeth bite printing in her skin and some blood.
"You have to go to the nurse, I catch the dog…as revenge for you..''
Nicole smiles. ''Thanks.. "
The robot dog runs up to him. "You love to play huh?Is see if you like my ninja electric balls!"
The ninja throws the balls to the dog and shocked dog falls down and the audience applauds."Ninja!Ninja!Ninja!"The ninja laughs. "Until next time ... smoke-bomb! "
Nicoloe looks amazing at the red smoke and coughs.' ' Wow ... that was the ninja ... the ninja and he has just saved me...and where cames that horrible smell from? ' '
She hear soon someone calling her name, she turns quick around as she noticed the voice and see also the person running towards her.
"Nicole!Everything good with you? "says the blond Linsey as she putting Nicole in a little hug.
"Yes...Well...sort of...The ninja has saved me, I only have a sliced arm.. "'
"A sliced arm! Sis, you're whole arm is beelding! I'm going to the nurse with you. "said Lindsey and bring her away.
...In the nurse post...
Nicole sit at the treament bank when her wound is going disinfected.
"'It can burn.. ' "says the nurse.
"I feel it.. ' "says Nicole painful and sigh. "'What a first day…I am running up by two guys and also the ninja...a goth version of the mad hatter was hanging out in my locker.. be called a chemistry nerd…almost slammed by a baton…and then this injured on my arm thanks to a robot dog…''
''That happens only you..I'm sorry sis.. ' "says Lindsey.
"'Sorry? What are you talking about? Best first day ever! I have made new friends, I have met the ninja and he also save me..and I survive my first robot attack..It was cool! AHH! "'says Nicole as the sister pulls the connection tighter. "This hurts so hardcore!'''

Nicole look at her arm, totally coverde with white bands. "How I gonna explane this to my mom?"
"Easy...Mom, I have being attack by a really wonk robot dog at school...But the good news is...I'm Still alive! Thanks to the ninja.."
Nicole shakes her head. "And that she will believe?"
"Absolutly!...As I told it her than definitive!"
Both girls walks out the nurse post, they come against Randy and Howard.
"Hey!You were right!"says Nicole as she poined at him, let him looking confused.

Randy and Howard look at each other.
' "She seems to be a human and also not a spy sending by Mcfist... "' Howard says.
' "She isn't, we can be sure of that..."says Randy and gets a quizzical look of Howard. "'And she is also a fan of me. "'
"Then is it of course good for you. ' "Howard says as he rolled his eyes.
' "Not so jealous baby. '' says Randy laughing.

Randy nods as they start walking. ''Do You know what I find weird? She say that she and Lindsey know each other of Kindergraten...I can remember Linds...but I can't remember Nicole...Strange isn't it?''
Howard hold up his shoulders. ''Maybe you can't remember is because you hit your head more than 243 times...this year...'''
''Well do you remember her?'' asked Randy as he crosssed arms.
''How should I know?...The only thing I know is that her dad and brother also went to Norrisville High...but that's it..''
''But isn't weird that only Lindsey...'' says Randy as he still keep going.
''BRO..LET IT GO! Cheese...And if you wanna know her better...Why don't you talk to her?''
''Not an option bro...'' says Randy shaked his head as they still walking.
