The New Girl (Deanoru)

Chapter 1

Well, here we go. A new year, a new school.

If it wasn't for Robert Minoru's marriage to Janet Stein, Nico and Amy wouldn't have had to change school. The only person they knew at Atlas Academy was their step-brother Chase Stein, but as far as they were concerned, he is as bummed out as they are about this new situation.

Nico had just stepped out of the car when this random guy walks up to her and introduces himself.

"Hey, I'm Alex Wilder. You're Chase's step-sister, right?"

She rolls her eyes and just glares at him.

Amy comes up from behind and replies, "Sorry about her, she's just a little bit grumpy about the first day of school. I'm Amy Minoru and this is my little sister Nico. And yes, we are indeed Chase's step-sisters."

Alex smiles back at Amy and says, "First day back is always rough. Especially if you're new. Anyways, Chase has told me a lot about you guys. We're in the math club together."

"Well, nice to meet you, Alex. Do you think you could tell us how to go to the principal's office? He's supposed to give us our schedule and locker numbers."

"Sure. Follow me."

Alex leads the way while Amy practically drags her little sister along to the principal's office.

As they arrive, Alex says, "Well, this is it. Just let me know if you guys ever need help for anything else. My locker is just down the hall. See you around."

Amy looks at Alex as he walks away while Nico grunts, "Oh my god, stare any harder and you'll pierce a hole through his head."

Amy flushes. "Shut up, this isn't what you think."

"Hmm, right."

They both stay silent for a while staring at each other and then, they start laughing like crazy. Wow, that felt good. They haven't had this kind of moment ever since their parents had their divorce.

The principal didn't take long to assign them their schedule and lockers. He was already busy dealing with a senior prank first day back to school. How tragic.

Atlas Academy has been growing in numbers and they haven't had time to renovate too much yet, so students have been sharing lockers. The only catch is that you can only share lockers with people in the same year as you so Amy and Nico couldn't be together.

Since they are new, the principal has organized that they receive a guided tour of the school by two students to help them adjust. This so happens that these students were also their respective locker partners. The principal tells Amy that she'll be sharing a locker with a certain Gertrude Yorkes and Nico's locker partner is a certain Karolina Dean.

Nico is already annoyed by the thought of having to share her things with someone else for a whole year. How dreadful. As she wonders what type of person Karolina is, a knock is heard at the door.

The principal says, "Ah, it must be them. COME ON IN!"

A girl with purple hair and glasses walks in.

"Amy, this is Gertrude Yorkes, she'll be your helper for the day. Gertrude, is Karolina Dean not with you?"

The girl with purple hair replies, "She's just caught up with the lgbt club, she'll be here in a moment."

Just as she finishes her sentence, a tall blonde girl comes up from behind and stands by the door. Wow, Nico's thoughts are all scrambled up.

"Ah, there you are Miss Dean. This is Nico Minoru. She'll be your locker partner. Now off you all go."

As they exit the room, Karolina smiles and lifts her hand for a handshake.

"Hey, nice to meet you. Let's be good friends."

Nico chokes on her own words.

"Uhh..."

She can only stare in awe. Nico didn't expect this. She thought Karolina Dean would be this total nerd, but instead she is beautiful and breathtaking.

Amy grins and steps in, "Well, this is going to be a fun year. Gert and I will be going the other way. We'll see you around. Have a nice day, lil sis."

Karolina waves goodbye to her friend and Amy.

"Your sister seems really nice."

Nico finally snaps out of her trance and replies, "Yeah, only at times. You should see her at home."

Karolina laughs at her comment.

Oh lord, even her laugh sounds magical. Nico doesn't know how much more of this she could take.

"So you do talk huh", says Karolina.

"Sorry about earlier, I was just um... taken aback by you."

"And what did I do to provoke such a reaction? We literally just met."

"Well, for one, you're much taller than I am. For two, you're really pretty."

Karolina blushes at Nico's compliment.

"I could say the same about you."

Nico raises her eyebrows for a moment.

"OH, wait no, I mean you're pretty too. Not the part about you being taller than me hahaha that wouldn't be logical."

Nico laughs at an embarrassed Karolina. She's glad she's not the only one acting clumsy.

"So, you're a member of the lgbt club?"

"I'm actually the president of the club lol. As a lesbian myself, I felt like we needed better representation at Atlas Academy."

"Oh, that's cool. I might be interested in joining a club, I'll consider the lgbt as one of my options."

Karolina seemed surprised at what she said. They stare intrigued at each other for a moment.

"I'm bisexual."

"Oh, nice!", says an overly excited Karolina. She immediately fumbles for her words. "Not that I meant anything about it, I'm not interested in you or anything, I'm just happy you'rr part of the community and I'm totally supportive."

Nico smirks, "Could've fooled me."

Karolina's cheeks redden. "How about I show you around the school for real now?"

"Sounds cool to me."

As they walk down the hallways, Karolina talks about each section of the school, but all Nico can seem to pay attention to is how soft Karolina's skin looks and how gentle her lips seems to be.

So maybe the first day of school isn't so bad. Nico had a long year ahead of year, but it just got interesting. She might have more fun at Atlas Academy than she originally thought she would.
