When Nicolette woke up, she was confused. The young girl had to rub her eyes to get rid of the grogginess as she sat up in a bedroom that wasn't one she knew. And when that fact sunk in, the little girl's eyes widened as she quickly scrambled out of the bed, but ended up getting tangled up in the blanket and slipping when her feet had hit the polished wooden floor, causing her to tumble to the ground.
Landing painfully on the ground, Nick briefly closed her eyes as she sat up, breathing through the pain and through her nose as she brought her elbow up, holding it. She was still in her school uniform, except for the tie (which was neatly placed on the side table) and her shoes, which were placed by the bedroom's door.
The brunette looked around the perfectly clean and even though it seemed to have the minimalist of things, it still was a fancy bedroom in Nick's opinion. But then again, she was used to having to sleep on the floor or cots, or really uncomfortable bunk beds. That doesn't include her room at her home, which was her perfect room, in the girl's opinion.
Nick looked around the room, before scowling at the fact that the carpet that was under the bed, wasn't something that she'd recommend to anyone else since it seemed to not be doing it's job, which was to actually be comfortable.
After unwrapping her legs from the blanket, Nick pulled herself up and that's when she also registered that the gray knee high socks that was part of the uniform, were folded up in her shoes. The girl walked around the bed as she looked around the pretty dark room, her bare feet walking across the cold floor, but then a weird looking remote on the bench at the end of the couch caught her attention.
Nick moved over and grabbed it in curiosity. She looked over the buttons, before shrugging and pressing a random one, before suddenly jumping when a fire suddenly lit up in the fireplace in the wall that two chairs were in front of. The girl moved closer to it, already knowing that it wasn't an actual fire, but the heater in the fireplace was beginning to warm up her feet.
With a small smile, Nick began taking off her blazer, tossing it onto the bed as she pressed another button... which ended up being the ones for the think blinds/curtains. The girl watched in awe as the wall of windows suddenly appeared, as the curtains pulled up and practically disappeared into the ceiling.
The girl had to blink a couple times for her eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight, but when they did, they widened as she walked over, finding that another button on the remote actually opened the center window like a door, and that led out onto a balcony, which looked out at the ocean.
"Santo infierno... Estoy en el Cielo." [Holy hell... I'm in Heaven.] She mumbled under her breath as she went over and looked over the balcony, down at the water and waves below. The girl closed her eyes briefly as she took in the smell that was definitely new to her. A small smile formed on her lips as a cool breeze hit her, cooling down the warm morning air that was already around her.
