Nicole's POV
I wake up and Immediately start getting ready for my first day at my new school. I change into a tee-shirt that I got from when I saw Anastasia and shorts. I also make sure my leotard is in my dance bag and I have my things. Then I go downstairs to have breakfast. Renée looks up and sees me. "Hey Nicole." She says. "Hey Mom." I say. My younger siblings we already at school and Alexis was already at work. "How are you Nicole?" Mom asks as I start to eat breakfast. "Tired." I say. Renée nods. I eat and finish getting ready for school. Then we go and pick up Alexandrea. "Have a good day girls." Mom says as she drops us off at school. "Thanks mom." I say. "Thanks Renée." Lexi says and we walk to our homerooms. I go to my home room and sit down. Then I see this girl who looks very familiar walk in. When I look up at her, her eyes light up and she runs over to me, making my dance bag fall out of my hand. "Nicole!" She exclaims. "Rachel!" I exclaim. "I haven't seen you in forever." She says. "Same here." "How's it going with Renée?" She asks. "Good." I say. The teacher then calls roll and passes out our schedules. I look at mine.

"It looks like we have a few classes together." Rachel says. "Yeah." I say. The bell rings and we go to first period which Alexandrea is also in. We sit down and the teacher starts talking. "Hello. I'm Mr. Silk and welcome to World History. We are going to be doing a lot of interesting things this year as well as our National History Day Projects. I shall call roll and we will do some icebreakers." He says.
"Alexandrea Lanmem Diggs?" He calls out. "Lampman." Lex says. "Nicole Goldsberry-Johnson?" "Here." I say. He goes through the role and then turns back to us. "Alright class, today we are going to be doing name tents." He passes out these tents and he has us write our first name, a person in history we'd like to meet, our favorite singer or band, and something we did this summer. I put down Angelica (even though I've already met her), my mom because she's my mom, and "I spent the summer shadowing Mandy Gonzalez". I look over at Alexandrea's. She has "Lafayette", "P!ATD", and "Meeting Shane Dawson". "Your seriously putting down your mom?" Rachel asks me. "Yes." I say. "Who did you put down?" I ask her. "Lea Michele." She says. "Wow. I was just marathoning glee." I said. "Yeah Lea has gotten me through the hard times." She says. "Yeah. I'm legit Rachel Berry." I say. "Same." She says. The bell rings and Rachel and I go to Algebra 1. Then English, Science, and Modern Dance. Finally we go to lunch. "So, when are Daveed and Emmy getting married?" Rachel asks Alexandrea. "March." Alexandrea says. "What about Jasmine and Anthony? Are they getting married?" Rachel asks. "I wish." I say. "Nicole, give them time." Lex says. "Okay." I say. "Hey Rachel, do you want to come over after school?" I ask. "Sure." She says. "Okay." I text Renée and she says yes. Then we go to Spanish.
Alexandrea's POV
We get to Spanish and the teacher ends up going on a rant about what to do if there is a school shooting. "I will bite that bastard." Señora McBride screams. "Oh god." Nicole says. "You will grab that seven pound Spanish book and pound his head till he's s potato." Then the bell rings and we go to musical theatre.
Nicole's POV
"Wow that Spanish teacher is special." I say. "Yep. She's like that." Rachel says. We go to Musical Theatre and the teacher lets us do improv and then we do karaoke with Broadway songs. After class before we leave she comes up to me. "Hey Nicole, someone sent me this video of you singing and your amazing." She says. "Thanks." I say. "I don't know who sent it but they sent that and a huge letter on why your amazing." "Wow." I say. She then slips me a flyer. "Auditions are in a week at the high school. You should audition for young Fiona." She says. "Okay. Thanks." I say and we leave.
