Chapter 3

First Day

I woke up in gasps. What was with that dream last night all I could think about as I got ready for school was that boy and the necklace that strange necklace. What could it have meant? That boy he was so nice and I didn't even know him. But for some reason I felt close to him. Then I realized why because his feeling was love.

"Nicole, come on your going to be late for school!" With a sigh I got up. Stupid high school.

"Coming mom"I went to my closet. What to wear on the first day of torture? Let's see wait. It was warm outside so I picked my favorite and cutest summer dress I owned. I hope that I'm not alone this year that there might just be someone like me. Who can help me find out who I'm supposed to be. And could they help me find out what happened to my dad. Could he help me the boy from the dream he did offer me help. Wait what am I thinking it was a dream. Wasn't it? I made way down the stairs when a boy was sitting at the table. He looked about my age who was he? He looked up. OMG it was him the boy from the dream. He seemed to remember me because he came here if he didn't know me he wouldn't be here would he.

"Nicole this is our neighbor he's offered to give you a ride to school he says he's in the same classes how lucky is that you get a guide"

"Um hi I'm Luke.' That was his name. Well whatever his name was I didn't know him and I wasn't going to go with him no matter what comfort it would give me to not feel out of place or feel alone.

"I don't need a guide I'm just fine on my own I can walk it's only eight blocks and it's early I'll make it on time no need to worry" I grabbed my back pack and was about to head to the door when he cleared his throat

"It's nine blocks and you still might be late just let me drive you please I'd like to get to know you" My mother stepped in front of me

"See he's such a gentlemen, now go" I tried to get around her

"Mom I..." My mom grabbed my shoulders.

"Now Nicole not another word do you understand." With a sigh I nodded I knew I was not going to win this fight after the way I acted last night I'm surprised I wasn't grounded. If I argued I would probably end up that way. Luke got up and held the door open for me. I stopped and waited for him to come down the stairs. He was walking toward me when I noticed that he was smiling.

"So how are the classes' He looked up.

"What?" I said it a little more clearly than the last time.

"How are the classes? Are they tough easy a lot of work?"

He sighed "uh there okay. Is that really what you want to talk about when were about to be at the school so you can see for yourself." I was a little mad I mean it was a simple question.

"You know I'll just walk. I think I can handle myself. Thanks for your offer but we really don't seem like the people who would get along." I started to walk away.

"Wait sorry if I made you feel bad it's just I didn't think I would ever meet you." I looked up.

"What do you mean meet me?" He looked up at me.

"I think you know what I mean your dad told you." I felt like I was going to pass out he grabbed my arm.

"You okay?"

"What do you mean my father he's dead and the only thing I know about is the feeling of emotions? He told me his time was up and he loved me to figure it out by myself. I'm all alone he isn't here and I know almost nothing about who I am or even what I am. There are you happy now I told you all I know." I didn't realize I crying until I began to sob. He reached for me but I walked away without another word. I made it about a block till his truck pulled up next to the bus bench were I was crying and wrapped up like a ball. He walks out of the truck comes and sits next to me.
