Chained Shadows

Part 3

Nicole's POV

Today was my first day of school here in Sydney. I nervous to say the least. I mean who wouldn't be nervous in your first day at a new school far away from home. I hope I make friends. If I don't, I don't know what I'll do. At least I only have one year here.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. I washed myself and got out. I don't take very long showers. I get dressed in black ripped skinny jeans, my greenday muscle tee and my dark purple vans. I blow dried my hair and straightened it. I put foundation and concealer on my face and applied mascara and eye liner. When I decided that I looked ok I went downstairs to get breakfast.

" morning dad" I said as I grabbed an apple.

"Morning" he replied. "I'm going to work. Have a nice first day at school." He said

"Ugh. Don't remind me." I said tiredly. He rolled his eyes and started to the door. "Ok well, I'm going to work. See you later. I'll be back around seven or so. Bye" with that he was gone. I sighed and ran back upstairs. I grabbed my bag and put my phone, gum, house keys, and books in it.

I went back down stairs. I opened the front door and locked it behind me. Since I didn't have a car I had to walk. I started to walk in the direction of the school.

When I got to the school I stared at it for a while. All the girls here are in dresses, with their hair curled perfectly and makeup on fleek. I kept walking into the school. I headed to the office.

"Umm...... Excuse me"

"Oh hello can I help you?" The woman at the front desk asked.

"Umm... Yes... I'm new here......and....ummm.....I need my books and stuff."  I said. She nodded and handed me my books. "Your locker number is 58." She said. I nodded and smiled. I started to walk away but realized I didn't know where to go. " by any chance can you give me directions to my locker?" I asked shyly. She nodded and pointed to the direction of my locker. I opened it and put all my stuff in it. I grabbed my schedule and binders for my first class. Homeroom, Miss Miller. It said.

I walked into my homeroom and went straight to the teachers desk.

"Umm excuse me I'm new here and it says this is my homeroom."

" ahh yes. You can introduce yourself to the class if you want." I nodded and went to the front of the classroom. "Ok class we have a new student joining us today. Go on introduce yourself." I smiled nervously

"U..um I..m.. Nicole." I said while waving. I smiled shyly and looked around. "Ok someone needs to show Nicole around. Who wants to?"

A few girls put their hands up. "Ok Daniella. You can show her around and make her feel welcome." Daniella smiled and nodded. "Nicole you can go sit at the back by Daniella." I headed to the back and sat down. I put my schedule on my desk and Daniella took it. She smiled and looked at me. "We have a lot of the same classes together." She said excitedly. I smiled.

"I'm Daniella by the way" she held out her hand. I took it. "Nicole." I smiled.

At lunch

I opened the door to the cafeteria and looked around. I think Daniella saw me because she started waving at me to come over to her table. There was two other girls there as well. I walked over to where they are and sat down. Both the girls, as well as I, looked at Daniella.

"Ok so Nicole, these two girls are Blake" she pointed two the girl who has light dirty blonde hair, and tanned skin. "And this is Kat-Maria." She pointed to the girl who has bright orange hair. Obviously dyed. "Girls this is Nicole. She's new here." She said. I smiled and waved.

I finished my lunch and headed to my next class with Daniella and Blake. When we got to class we sat down. "Hey Nik, you see that boy over there?" She pointed to the really cute boy that looked really familiar for some reason. I nodded " yah so"

"His name is Trevor. He's the most popular guy at this school and probably the hottest. He's the captain of the football team too." That's when it clicked. Trevor is the guy I met at the music store the other day.

"I know. I met him in the music store near my house the other day. He seems nice." I said smiling. "I Have his number." I said. She looked shocked. "What?" "Nothing it's just I.......I don't know" " does someone have a crush?" I asked nudging her and wiggling my eyebrows. She rolled her eyes and flicked me off. I gasped " someone does!" I said excitedly.

When school ended Daniella gave me her number and we headed our separate ways.
