New home...new school...new people... Always the damn same thing every week... Nick though as he was walking through the long corridors of the school. This was his sixth new school that he had transferred and he was getting tired of this "screw up once and restart life" rule that he had going on. The only thing that made him ch age schools was that Nick has a dark side to him, no one else can know about it, who he really was.

   Nick walked through the halls thinking about how this time he would screw up the school year.  The bell chimed about 10 minutes later, Nick winced at the ringing, he hated the sound of the bell.  A crowd of kids came  rushing out of the classrooms on the side on the hallway walls.  Nick was being tossed by all the kids rushing from classroom to classroom.  Nick walked to the side of the wall and waited until the walkway would clear up.  The bell chimed again making Nick, once again, wince in pain by the sound. 

   About 20 seconds after the bell rang, the hallway was clear, no sight of any other students.  "Finally those idiots are gone." Nick said with a heavy sigh.
"I wouldn't call every student here an idiot." A smooth voice came out.  Nick turned to see a girl, shorter than he was.  She wore a white shirt with red jeans and black converse, she was also wearing a Twenty One Pilots beanie.  "Are you new here or something? I've haven't seen you around school before." She said moving a strand of hair back.  "Yea I'm new, names Nick by the way."  Nick said making a half smile.
   "I see you're doing the "I'm late to class because I got lost since I'm new" strategy" the girl said sarcastically with a small chuckle at the end of the sentence.  "You could say that." Nick said making a small laugh.  The bell rang again, this time, Nick tried to not show the pain in the head. He twitched a little when the sound came on but he girl didn't notice.  "Well that's my bell, I have to go, bye Nick!" The girl said walking away.
   Nick started to walk until he remembered that he didn't ask for her name. "Hey girl! You didn't tell me your name!" He shouted.  The girl stopped and look back and grinned, "that's because I didn't tell you silly!" With a smile, she turned in a corner and left Nick's sight. 
   I see how it is... Nick though, he then turned and walked towards is classroom.
