Part 1

Dark, black, cold was all I could see. It's like when you have a dream and you have to think really hard about it just to see it again. Except I remembered and now I'm stuck. I can't get it out of my head. It's all I live through when someone reminds me. It's more like flashbacks or 'his' memories, now memories except there not mine. But I knew what was happening the only bad thing though is I didn't know what it wanted.

It was my first day at Hawkins middle. I was scared and nervous. My feature that would hide away my feelings was my blonde hair and beautiful blueish green eyes with long eyelashes. The truths laid behind them, just like a curtain. You could say I was just like everyone else. Funny, smart, dumb, childish. But you're wrong. I have a giant secret that no one knows except for me, myself, and I.

That 3 people but it still get pretty lonely sometimes. My name is Nicole. It's a normal name instead of being called 9. You could say that I had powers. Telekinesis or making you see thinks that weren't really there. It was an amazing gift but most times it was a curse, scaring me with the things that 'he' wanted me to imagine.

I needed to live a normal life away from my troubled past so I started school by imagining fake parents.

As the bell rang I went to science. The teacher introduced me to the class as I sat down. As test were being handed out, a girl with orange hair and blue eyes said

"Hi, I'm Max. This school is full of bullies so you can come join us if you want."

"Who's us" I whispered under my breath after shaking my head up and down and thanking her.

When it was Lunch, she introduced me to 4 other guys.

"Who's this?" One of the boys said. He had blackish hair and freckles.

"Wait your in our science class right?" The other one said with brown long hair.

I shook my head and Max introduced me to all of them.

"This is Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas." She said from left to right.

"Hi" they all said as Mike just waved.

"So you don't talk a lot do you?" Dustin said jokingly.

I smile as I looked down at the ground kicking the grass that was as my feet.

"Hey we're going to the arcade after school. You want to come" Max said.

Once again I shook my head, they all began to talk about dragon's lair. I was guessing it was some kind of game. Despite my frights, I still had ideas of what normal kids did.

Max was nice. Finally having someone that cared.  But I felt weird every time I was by Will. He was different. It was like someone was trying to tell me something about him but I hardly knew him.

After school we arrived at the arcade. The boys didn't really seem to care that I was there. In fact it felt like they didn't even notice me at all. As Max and Dustin were playing Pac man Mike started talking under his breathe.

"This parties getting bigger and bigger." He said as he looked annoyed.

"What" I whispered.

It seemed like he didn't want me here.

"I don't like being here." Mike continued.

"Ya, me neither." Will said.

He was standing right behind mike. He looked like he was scared. His eyes had the words fear written all over it.

Suddenly the room went black and cold. White thing surrounded me.

"Find him." I said without knowing what it meant or even knowing I was going to say that.

With my heart pounding in my chest I could feel pain inside my leg. There was a scar on it that brought back horrible memories of my past. An eerie feeling came over me and then all of a sudden I heard someone call my name.

Nicole.

Nicole.

As soon as I turned my head everything went back to normal to where nothing was dark and cold.

"Nicole do you want to play Pac man." I looked at Max and walked up to the machine not even knowing how to play.

Trying to forget about what I just saw, I tried having fun. By the end of the arcade I left with feeling a little less lonely and a score of 100 on Pac man.
