Nicole packed her hair into a loose

bun with an old string, she looked

Through the windows of her new

bedroom, with termites and ants

crawling into every whole on her

wooden furniture she had, she

hadn't been her self ever since her

Families death.

   
      Sam badged into her room with

Letters and files and a pen, he stood

close to her and tapped her "this is

the overall fee for your new school,

and the last thing it needs is your

signature" He said while looking

straight into her eyes, she hastily

grabbed the pen and signed. When

she had finished he began  going out

but he turned back again "today is the

last day of registration,.......dress up "

He completed while leaving.

   When they arrived I'm the school

Nicole said" This school looks dead"

while stepping on a pile of horse pup

"That's a huge understatement" Sam

mumbled, as they entered the

building, they saw the principal's

office straight ahead and walked

towards it until they entered. The

principal had on the same loose bun

as Nicole did and when she noticed it,

she untied her own and packed it

into a tight ponytail " Take a seat

please"

she said with an unexpected high

pitched voice, Sam brought out the

file from his bag and took his seat, he

then placed it on her desk and said

"These are the receipts of payment"

"Ooh! You've already paid?"

"Yes"

She collected the envelope from him

and scanned it, then she gave a light

smile. "Your officially a student here

at J.brook high ", Sam turned to

Nicole whose head was facing the

ground and turned back to the

principal,

"You can start any day of this week

but it's best you start today" she

handed Nicole the terms schedule

and important dates.

"Great!!! " Nicole said sarcastically

"and I almost forgot....... This coming

Saturday is a compulsory camping

date arranged by the mayor, and on

Friday you'll find out our schools

camping location" she said with a

wide grin on her face

Nicole immediately stood up and

Sam

followed her suite out of the office,

she looked at Sam

"Leave me here, I'll like to start my

classes now,just send my textbooks

through the security"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" She said sharply,Sam left and

until he drove off, she remained

fixed at that spot.

She walked out of the building and

headed to the back, she walked some

more till she saw graffiti on the wall

and went To go and Check it out

"Wow this is some good graphics "

"Painted By Dennos before he got

expelled " Nicole turned to her right

and saw a girl.....about her age sitting

on the bare ground holding a

cigarette in between her fingers

"do they allow smoking here?" Nicole

asked curiously

   
    "Only on special occasions" she said

sarcastically."I'm Mitchy"

      "I'm Nicole " she replied while

stretching a out Hand to help her to

stand up. 
  
"new here?"

"Yes..... Why did you ask? "

"Nothing just that Your light pink

shoes brighten up the scene"

"Ooh!" She said as she bent to look at

her shoes.

"which grade you in"

"10"

"Good.........,  which class do you have

now?" she asked puffing out some

smoke

She brought out the schedule the

principal gave her and took a look at

it "Chemistry "

She dropped the cigarette on the

ground " Then let's Go"

Nicole's face changed "No..., I'm not

ready "

Mitchy dragged her"come on, you

are".

Nicole and Mitchy entered class and

saw many shabbily dressed students,

even a few with different coloured

highlights.

"I gotta warn you, our teachers don't

appear everytime so,..where a little

behind scheme" Mitchy said

"What do you mean?" asked Nicole as

she was approaching a seat

"I mean...., if a teacher comes, what

he'll teach might be what you've

already learnt" She said

Nicole's eyes lit up, that meant

answering questions, " yeah!!"

Before she could say any more

Mitchy shoved her into a seat and the

teacher walked in. The class became a

little less noisy. Mitchy was right

behind Nicole's seat and whispered

"This is Mr. Vincent, he is the most

feared teacher and rumor has it that

him and the principal are a thing and

that's why he always has the upper

hand amongst other teachers"  she

adjusted the pleats on her skirt and

looked up at the teacher.

 
"Okay!, who can remember the last

topic?" Mr. Vincent asked, the noise

became louder and a few mumbles of

"when was the last time you came? "

filled the air "enough! Open your

books and turn to page 4" only a

few students brought out their

textbooks and even less turned to the

right page, Mr. Vincent went on, like

everyone had all the materials

present.

 
  "So. What Is an atom?" small

discussions began at that back of the

class. Nicole rose her hand up so

high,

she turned to see she was the only

paying attention so she put it down

almost immediately. Mr. Vincent

lowered his glasses to the bridge of

his nose " You,  answer"

Nicole took in a gulp and stood up

and immediately a young man

walked in and asked "Miss Nicole?",

she happily left the class to meet the

man.
 
  When she stepped out, he gave her a

bag that was filled with her old

textbooks from her old school, she

grabbed it and entered the class

again and sat down and luckily Mr.

Vincent didn't remember her

question.

  
   School was over, and Nicole walked

out of the building with Mitchy.

"So where are you heading?" asked

Mitchy,

"eehm..., Ferry Street"

" sheez, that street's quiet, come to

mine some day"

Nicole smiled a little,

"Don't be scared " Mitchy said and as

they stopped talking Sam's old wagon

pulled up infront of the school,Nicole

walked slowly to Sam as she waved

back at  Mitchy.

  In Sam's wagon Nicole was awfully

quiet and she repacked her hair to

often until she finally broke the

silence " does a ponytail make me

look bad?" Sam quickly turned to

catch a quick glimpse and answered

sharply "No!, it makes you look

innocent and cute" Nicole gave a

huge sigh like that wasn't the answer

she was looking for.
