I seriously don't know what my parents issues were. Who in their right mind would name their kid kiss!kiss, yes that's my name. Kiss Nicole London. I really don't understand what gave them the urge to name me this but I know that it's made my life hell. Total utter hell. Seems that nobody really has appreciation for names like mine. "Ow!" I whispered as I got thrown into the lockers yet again. Yes. This was my life. I was that kid in school with two amazing friends and the world against her. My friends, Natalie and Adam, nat was more the invisible type while Adam was more popular jock that protects us from too much bullying. I tried to be invisible, but it's impossible for me because everyone knows what happened to me all those years ago and decided that it would be a great idea to torture me about it for the rest of my life. Not like I don't deserve it though. It was all my fault. 'If only I hadn't...no Kiss you have to stop thinking this way.' It's almost as if 2 years of counseling wasn't enough. "Hey, you okay. Ignore them they are idiots." Adam said coming to my rescue and helping me pick up my books. "Yeah I should be fine. Thanks Ad." Adam was one of those people who were utterly gorgeous but hid it without trying to. He had oceanic blue eyes and shaggy brunette hair that always shone in the light. Because he's on the football team he has a great body, not that I would ever tell him though that would just be too weird! Of course since I'm the typical bullied, troubled kid, I'm also that typical kid in love with her best friend. Yeah. I've loved Adam,as cheesy as it sounds, since like fifth grade. "Come on our next class is with Natalie. It'll all be okay Ki.(pronounced Ky) That is the nickname him and Natalie had given me because i told them how much I hated my name. While the rest of the school, when they talked to me, called me Nicole,my middle name. "Alright let's go see her." When we got to Spanish we went to a regular seats in the back and saw Natalie already sitting there the first thing that I saw was her black hair with the new streak in it "New haircolor I see, Nat."I said to her while admiring the purple color added in her hair. Natalie looked up from her book giving me a clear view of her chocolate eyes. "Yeah you like?" She asked with a dramatic hair swish. "Be careful what you reply to that," Adam interrupted "you know everything we say goes to her head. " And not too far after we could hear the smack of Nat's hand on Adams head. "Ow woman what the hel-lo Mr. Pryce." he said when he noticed our teachers stare on him. Apparently during some point in time while we were talking Mr. Pryce had walked in and started teaching. I mean how are we supposed realize that!? "Detention all three of you." well that's not new I thought as we finally zoned into class.
The day must've dragged on forever, but when it finally ended I was so relieved. I closed my locker after collecting my books and was about to leave when Adam grabbed me by the hand."Come on Ki you didn't forget about detention now did you?" Now if any of you believe in all the Sparks fly poop then you are crazy. I mean I LOVE Adam, have for years, and not once have I felt any sparks or anything of the sort with him. I just feel.....content I guess.
This type of behavior was just how we acted. Holding hands, having sleep overs, it had just always been like this. "Ugh I just want to go home and watch some modern family!" I exclaimed. " Yeah me too Ki, but unless you want him riding your ass all year you better go." Ok fine. Damn why are you always right Ad?" We started walking towards his classroom "Because, sweetheart, I'm a genius duh." Adam practically shouted as we walked to the back of the room where Nat was already waiting for us. She ruined my day with three words "Welcome to hell."
After a hell of a long detention I jumped in Ad's truck and shut my eyes. "Hey Ki, Ki wake up. We are at your house." I heard a voice calling out to me as I was shaken awake. It sounded like a million Angels......oh wait it's just Adam. "Oh wh-oh hey- Uh thanks Ad." I said as I grabbed my bag and headed inside. I got in- luckily avoid in my parents- and flattened out on my bed. Ah, homework. 'Eh I'll do it later.' I thought to myself as I turned on just about my favorite show ever, Psych. As I was watching, my phone beeped and I saw a familiar text from Adam. He sent me one just about every night. It was just a simple good night see you tomorrow text but it still always made my heart beat faster. I never replied, I couldn't reply. I decided to do my homework and after I finished I fell into a dream-filled sleep.
Voices filled my head. All accusing me of something-I don't know what exactly, but it can't be good. For some reason they all sound familiar. I can't understand what they are saying, but the voices are all growing louder. They seem to be talking in another language almost. The voices are shouting at me now-bursting my ear drums, but before I get thrown from this dream I hear one single word- Quata.
I woke with a start. What just happened to me? I think that was the strangest dream I've ever had, and I've had really weird dreams. Quata? What does that mean? I'm so confused, but I can't think about that now. I need to get ready for school. It was only a dream too. Right?
"Hey ad" I said as I got in the car. " Hey Ki" he replied before backing out of my driveway. My life is full of cliche, and I guess you could say another one is that he's my neighbor. Well, we aren't those people that have the windows that line up. No, he lives across the street from my house. No, my window lines up with about the worst possible person. Tristan-the school jock. During the car ride to school we talked about random stuff until we got there, and little to my surprise Adam got whisked away almost immediately. Like I said, he's on the football team so he's popular enough even though he won't admit it. I met up with Nat only to realize we didn't have first period together, so we said a few words to eachother then parted ways. Now I had world history. The one class I had without either of my friends. The one class I had with all the populars'. The one class where Adam couldn't protect me. The one class where I say next to the one and only Tristan. Why he chose to sit near me, I'll never know. Probably to torment me, but I'll never truly know. He always came over to talk to me before class started, but he never stayed in the empty chair by me. That is probably the only thing going for me in this class. "Hey Nicole. What's up babe?" Tristan called out to me while I sat down and got out my proper books for this class. i ignored him, as usual, and put in my headphones while I waited for class to start, but it could never be that easy could it. "Sooooo. How's Connor doing huh. oh wait do you still talk to him. Hmmmm I think not. Why did he dump you again oh yeah cause you are a dirt-" "Woah woah woah dude why would you say something like that to her?" A very masculine voice called out from behind me. "Uh dude who do you think you are? That's some saeious shit you just said to her!" " Look new guy, If you know what's best for you I'd go sit back down. Okay?" Tristan told my savior in a threatening tone " Actually I'll stay if that's alright with you." And without waiting for a reply he sat right next to me. With that Tristan walked away mumbling, but I could feel him staring into my head all class long. "Hey I'm hayden." my savior told me right before class started I replied quickly before class started " Nicole. Thanks by the way." "No problem." And with that class started. After class I tried to make a fast break for the door, but Hayden grabbed my arm."Hey nicole Uh-well-I kinda- ummm Well I'm new here and I was wondering if you could maybe show me to my next class?" He asked "uh me?" I squeaked out, barely believing what I was hearing " Uh ya you are the only Nicole I know of." "Uh no sorry I have somewhere to be. Maybe some other time." I rushed out before all but sprinting out of the room. Well That went well. Note sarcasm please. When I got to my next class I put my headphones in and you wouldn't believe my luck. Although this time I had Adam by my side, guess who just so happened to walk into my Health class 10 minutes late. And guess which group of three happened to be open. Yeah Hayden and the chair to my left. This should be....interesting.
