In
her short 16 years of life, Nicki had never once encountered the
desperately seeked teenage whirlwind romance. Never had those wild
night outs with friends where it could easily end with a run in with
the police. Never went to a crazy, loud, house party where everybody
got blacked out drunk and would rave about for weeks on. It bothered
Nicki that what movies and books and tv shows had painted as the
normal teenage life, was just not true. Or maybe it was for some
people. But not her. Its not like Nicki had no social life, she had
plety of friends, did activites after school and got good grades. She
wasn't "Popular" but she wasnt a "loser", another
cliche moment. There wasn't one specific group of people who were
perceived as having a higher social stature. That, she wasn't so let
down about.
The real point of this was that Nicki's life had always been...normal. But she wanted more, she wanted that one special guy to look at her the way the handsome prince looks at the beautiful princess. Would she ever admit that to anybody thought? No. Nicki liked to keep her thoughts on fairytale lifestyles and dreams to herself. It wasn't like anything was going to change, so what would be the point of dreaming? The next morning she would get up, go to the same school, with the same people and go about her daily routine.
She opened her too-small-to-fit-anything-but-books locker, took out her history book for first period honors history and sighed. "New day, same old shit."

She opened her too-small-to-fit-anything-but-books locker, took out her history book for first period honors history and sighed. "New day, same old shit."
Nicki
slammed her locker shut when her best friend Kat came running around
the corner almost bumping into her.
"Oh
my God you scared me!" Nicki said as she readjusted the bag on
her shoulder. "Why are you running Kat?"
"New....students....hallway....now"
Kat said, her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath.
"Kat....slooow
dooown." Nicki grabbed her best friend pulling her upright. "try
again."
"The
new students just came in, they're walking down from the main office
now."
Nicki
rolled her eyes and began walking in the direction of her first
class. "And? Why should i care?"
"Because
Nicki! Theyre the first new kids we've had since like....fifth
grade." Kat stressed, trying to get her friend more interested.
She
did have a point, they lived in the typical small town in Meryfield,
Connecticut, just outside Stamford. Nothing ever happened, people
rarely came and went. Everybody knew everybody. The most exciting
thing that had happened recently, was the construction of a new
'Estate' on the outskirts of town. People were very curious about the
new property, why it was being built and for whom. It was a beautiful
property, dark grey bricks made up the building, brass colored
windows, hundres of flowers surrounding the outline, a long
cobblestone driveway from the dark,
metal gates to the front of the home wrapping around a lovely
sculptured fountain in the middle. The place was deemed 'Newlyn
Estate'. Even so, Nicki didn't dwell much on it She looked back at
Kat, raising a brow. “Wait they? You mean there's more than
one?”
“Three! Two guys and a girl. And one of them is so hot you just gotta come look.” Kat grabbed Nicki's hand and pulled her in the other direction. “Come on!”
“Kat!
I'm gonna be late, whoever they are they can wait.”
“Trust me Nic, you'll want to hear about them.”
“Trust me Nic, you'll want to hear about them.”
The
two girls made their way to the main hallway of their school where it
seemed like just about every student was standing, Nicki followed
their gaze and she was met with a strong look. There were the three
new students of Meryfield High. Almost instantly she felt
intimidated. The girl had dark, chocolate like hair with piercing
blue eyes, she looked like the type of girl who never had a bad hair
day. The guy next to her seemed more welcoming. He had the same
colored hair, same eyes the only difference was that he sported a
sweet smile. Then there was the guy who caught her stare a few
seconds ago. He was much taller, his caramel skin came to life
against the white, opened collar shit he wore. His eyes pierced
through the crowd, yet he didn't look too pleased to be here like his
female companion. He looked quite annoyed having so many people stare
at him. Nicki was now becoming very interested in knowing who these
strangers were.
She
tapped Kat on the arm, “So what do you know?” Kat had all the
qualities of a great detective, she found out things nobody would
even hear about till weeks later. She knew everything about
everybody, yet she was still one of the nicest, and sweetest girls in
the whole town. Mainly why Nicki and her became so close.
“Okay
so the girl right there her name is Carly. She doesn't seem....so
friendly. But who knows. The guy in the middle, that's her brother
his name is Caleb. They're the Newlyn twins.”
“Wait,
Newlyn? As in the estate?” Nicki asked, eyes widening.
“Yes!
Their family is the one who built the property, when I tell you that
they are loaded!” Kat said in a low voice, trying not to let random
people hear their conversation. “Anyway, Caleb looks so sweet and
have you seen his eyes?! Its about time we got some man candy in this
school.” Nicki eyed her friend, she could tell Kat was infatuated
with this guy. But she didn't think much of it. It always happened to
Kat, she was a lover. She fell hard for guys who in the end would
just end up breaking her heart.
“What
about that last one?”
“Oh
yeah, his name is Drake. That's about as much as I could find out
about him. I do know that they all live together. But I don't know
why. He's good looking....i guess. But nothing compared to Caleb.”
Nicki fought the urge to roll her eyes, but Kat was wrong. Caleb
couldn't measure up to Drake. He looked so confident, so dashing.
Nicki caught herself almost about to lick her lips at the sight. She
wondered how old he was, what kind of music he liked, was he a sporty
guy? Although in the clothes he was wearing she couldn't imagine
anybody tossing a football in it. His shirt alone looked like it cost
more than her whole entire wardrobe.
She was brought back to reality by Kat pulling at her. “Let's go say hi!”
She was brought back to reality by Kat pulling at her. “Let's go say hi!”
Nicki
panicked and held her ground. “Are you kidding?! No. We don't even
know them, what's it gonna look like when two random girls just jump
out questioning them?”
“Like
we're being friendly and welcoming?” Kat laughed at her less
spontaneous friend. “Please Nicki! I really wanna talk to Caleb but
I don't want to go by myself. Please, please, please?!” Kat cocked
her head to the side, giving Nicki a sad look.
Nicki
rolled her eyes and gave in. She told herself she was jut doing this
for her friend, but deep down she knew she wanted to meet the new
students just as bad. Especially on in particular. “Fine, but THEN
we go to class I'm not getting detention because of you!”
Kat
squealed and pulled Nicki over to the trio who now had stopped at a
locker, presumably Caleb's since he was fidgeting with the lock. As
they neared closer, Drake caught them walking in his direction and
stared right at Nicki. His stare was so strong, she forced herself to
look down, knowing Kat would start the conversation.
By
now Caleb and Carly took notice of their presence. “Hi!” Kat
stated, much more excited than she needed to be.
“Hi
there.” Caleb said with a smile and tone that matched Kat's
perfectly.
Nicki
saw Kat blush and thought, “Here we go again”
“I'm Kat and this is
Nicki. We just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Meryfield.”
“Well I'm Caleb. It's
nice to meet you Kat and Nicki.” Caleb did seem genuinely nice so
Nicki gave him a smile. Not that he probably cared, since all he
could do was stare at Kat.
A soft, yet firm cough
was heard behind Caleb which pulled him from the trance. “Oh, this
is my sister Carly.”
Carly stepped forward
looking both girls up and down, with a thin smile on her face. Right
off the bat, Nicki wasn't too fond of her. Her dark hair was pulled
up in a sleek ponytail at the crown of her head, she wore bright red
lipstick and beautiful diamond earrings. The girl looked like she was
attending a fashion show rather than school.
“Hi, Kat is it? Don't
you just have the most beautiful golden hair?” Carly smiled at Kat,
loosely twirling a piece of Kat's long hair. “And Nicki right? It
is so nice of you two to welcome us. I hope we're going to be good
friends.”
Nicki wanted to scoff at
the girl before her who was obviously trying too hard. It almost made
her forget about Drake standing to the side looking at her. Almost.
“And you are?” Nicki
dropped her heavy backpack and turned to fully face Drake, with her
sweet smile on display making her dimples show.
“Drake.” He
responded. Quick and simple introduction, making an impression on her
no less.
“He's a bit shy. Don't
mind him, he gets kinda grumpy in the mornings don't you Aubrey?”
Carly wrapped her arm around Drake's subtly. But Drake pulled back
and gave her a look, which Nicki took notice of.
“Who's Aubrey?” Kat
asked.
“Oh that's Drake's
real name but nobody calls him that.” Caleb said.
“And i'd like to keep
it that way.” Drake gave an annoyed look at Carly.
“So ladies, I hope you
two wouldn't mind showing us the ropes of this school?” There is
was again, that bright smile Caleb gave Kat. It was as if nobody else
was around. “I hope we haven't missed much.”
“No, well the school year really just started about a month ago. You can still sign up for clubs or sports or whatever you want to do. And the homecoming dance is in two weeks. Thats always the best!” Kat took on her role as the unofficial welcoming committee. She really was perfect for the job, knowing everything that went on in the school.

“Kat would you mind
showing me to my first class? It says here first period honors
history.” Carly said as she handed her schedule to Kat.
“Great
I get to see her bright and early everyday.” Nicki
thought to herself. It would be such a joy.
“Sure!
Me and Nicki are actually heading there right now we'll take you.
Right Nic?” Kat didnt seem to notice Carly's underlying attitude
but that was just her. She found good in everybody.
“Sure.”
Caleb
gathered his belonging and shut the locker. “I'll see you guys
later then”
Nicki
gave him a smile and Kat nodded as the three girls headed to their
class. Nicki tuned out the conversation the other two were having,
mainly because she didn't really care but also because she couldn't
stop thinking about Drake. Sure he had barely said a word to her and
he seemed a little standoffish but she couldn't truly blame him. It
was a new school, new environment, new people....it would intimidate
anybody. When they were about to enter the classroom, Nicki noticed
she didn't have her backpack and turned around sighing. She was
definitely going to be late for class. She was speed walking through
the crowd to make it back to Caleb's locker, about to turn the corner
when she abruptly stopped upon hearing her name. She peered her head
to find Caleb and Drake still standing there talking.
“They
seemed really nice right?” Caleb said.
“Yeah
I guess so.”
“Kat
is so pretty, she mentioned something about the homecoming dance. I
think I want to ask her to go with me. You think she'll say yes?”
Drake
rolled his eyes, “You just met this girl.”
“So?
She's sweet. And so beautiful. And Nicki is too.” Nicki smiled to
herself, Caleb really was a good guy. “Hey maybe you can ask Nicki
and we can go as like a double date or something.
Nicki's
heart rate sped up at the thought. Would Drake really ask her? Would
she say yes?
Drake
let out a snort “I don't think so.”
“Why?
Don't you think she's pretty?”
“5
minutes we're in this school and that Kat is the only good looking
girl here. Nicki's alright I guess but nothing special. Why waste my
time.”
Nicki
felt her stomach drop and anger rise in her. Who the hell did he
think he was talking about her like that?! Nothing special? The
NERVE. She contemplated storming up to him and giving Drake a piece
of her mind. But she didn't want to cause a scene. Much less have him
see the pain his words inflicted upon her. The bell rang and Nicki
knew she had to get to class. She collected herself and walked up to
the boys who once seeing her realized she had probably heard
everything. It took all her will for Nicki not to look Drake in the
eyes or curse at him. She bumped him aside, retrieving the pink
backpack behind his feet. She quickly stood up and turned back
quickly walking towards her class. Trying to push all thoughts about
Drake out of her mind.
Aww, dang Drake is cruel for just meeting someone. He just blew Nicki off without even getting to know her. But Nicki was already head over heels for him. Something tells me Drake will come around soon enough, but now that he has a bad taste in Nicki's mouth, it's going to be hard.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Drake. You're RUDE. Who pissed you off? -_-
