No Good Nick

Back To School

Finally. It was time. We checked with multiple doctors and got multiple second opinions. I got plenty of rest, my arm is almost fully healed, mom and dad had finally given me the ok to go to school. Today was my first day. I was so excited. I finally get to meet kids my age and hang out with them. Even though I almost got Jeremy in trouble, we're closer than ever. We play video games all the time. I grab lunch with him and Eric sometimes. And now, I get to go to school with them. 

Unfortunately, not everyone seemed pleased with this. Mom and dad are letting me go, but they are anxious about something happening to me. And Molly... we haven't talked a lot since Jeremy and I went out. That was a week ago. She's ashamed of me. I know it. But I'm not letting her ruin my day. I get to finally go to school. 

Liz: Nick! We have to go! Come down before we make you stay!

If that wasn't enough reason to go down running, I don't know what is.

Nick: Coming!

I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I don't know why, but my wardrobe consisted of a lot of jeans, denim and some pretty edgy clothes. But I want to make a good first impression. So, I wore a nice, stylish hoodie instead. I looked at myself in the mirror and I told myself, it's going to be fine. I grabbed my bag and went downstairs to the car. 

Liz: Nick, our numbers are in your phone in case anything happens.

Ed: If you feel unwell, tired, or if you feel like you need a break, call us. 

Nick: Guys, I'm gonna be fine. I promise. Plus, I have Jeremy if something happens. 

I wanted to mention the fact that I had Molly too, but I didn't know where I stood with her. I don't know what I did in the past, or if she's just ashamed of me or something. 

Liz: Do you have your school schedule?

Ed: You need some money?

Nick: Yes and no. Seriously guys, it's going to be ok. 

Ed: We know. We're just-

Nick: Happy that I'm going back to school and make some friends? Me too.

When we reached the school, Molly and Jeremy hopped out. I stayed behind for a moment. 

Nick: I know you're scared. I know you're worried about something bad happening, but we can't think like that. We have to stay positive, right?

Liz: Yeah, but-

Nick: If something happens, I'll call you. I promise. Gotta go. Love you. 

I hopped out and started walking towards the school with Jeremy. I could feel my heart pumping through my chest. Then I suddenly realized. I may have amnesia, but I still went to this school before. I've already made a first impression on people here. I then stop myself right before I go in. 

Jeremy: What's wrong?

I continued to stare blankly into the door. 

Nick: I've already made a first impression on people here, haven't I?

Jeremy: Yeah. 

Nick: Did they like me?

Jeremy: Of course they did. You were really friendly. 

Nick: What if.... what if they hate the me that I am now?

Jeremy: What are you-

Nick: I mean, face it. I'm not the same person that I was before. I don't even know exactly how I was before. What if they end up hating me?
