It's Day One

~NINI'S POV~
*BEEP* *BEEP*
Nini slams her hand against her alarm clock and sits up stick straight. Today's the day! she think to herself. My first day of high school.
She's up faster than a bullet, racing to get ready. Nini quickly puts on the clothing she had picked out the night before: a lavender, flowy t-shirt and a pair of light blue ripped jeans. Her hair is parted to the side and curls slighty at the tips. She adds a little mascara to the look and is read to start a new adventure!
"Good morning, good morning!" Mama C greets her with a kiss on the head. "You are glowing."
"Aww thanks, Mama C!" Nini grins. She was way too excited to eat breakfast. A lot had changed for Nini during the summer between her eight grade year and her freshman year. For starters, she had finally gotten her braces off! Also Nini has worked on her style for over the summer and was pretty proud of her closet. She was thrilled to show her friends the new look.
"I'm heading out!" she said, swinging her back pack over her right shoulder. "See you after school, moms." They called goodbye and Nini closed the door behind her. She looked into the fresh morning and smiled. "It's the start of something new."

RICKY'S POV
Have I ever mentioned I hate school? No? Ok, well I do. I don't like it one bit. It's just a bunch of old people talking to us for hours over something they probably don't even understand.
I dragged myself out of bed the first morning of my freshman year. I was going to east high. the east high where that cheesy musical was shot. whoop dee do. I was already running late.
"Shouldn't you eat something?" my dad shouted after as I ran out the door.
"I can't I'm going to be late." I yelled back, hopping on my skateboard and riding as fast as I could. I probably tripped on every single rock I could possibly trip on. This day wasn't going great and I had a feeling it wasn't going to get any better. But I guess was wrong

Thank goodness I was.

~NINI'S POV~
"AAAAAAA GIRL YOU ARE STUNNING!" Kortney runs up to me with the biggest grin on her face. "Did you dress up for someone special?"
"whaaaaaaaat? No!" I say, sporting a lovely british accent. "why on earth would you think that?" Kortney raises a perfect drawn eyebrow at me. "but i do suppose ricky bowen is in all my classes this year." I add quietly
Nini grabs my hands and shrieks. "I knew it! This years the one, I can feel it."
"Come on, you say that every year." I chuckle. "besides I don't know if I'm ready."
Kortney stares at me. "Girl you've been ready. You're past ready."
I shrug. "he won't ever really see me like that." I said sadly. "He's kinda more like a fantasy at this point. But that doesn't mean I can't look good."
      Kourtney laughs at me and heads off to class. I glance down at my schedule to see where my home room is. It just so happens to be the same as Ricky Bowen
      I've had a huge crush on ricky these past 3 years, though I've known him my entire life. We've never been really close, but we have our moments. Little times when he needs to ask me for advice and things like that, but we've never really gotten to know each other. that doesn't stop me for crushing on him though. I don't think he really even notices me.
       I continue looking at my schedule as I walk, doing my best to memorize it. I wasn't looking where i was going and I slam into a body.
       "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" i exclaim. I look up to meet two big brown eyes that belonged to a boy with curly hair. Of course i literally run into ricky. i'm such a dummy.

RICKY'S POV
    I'm basically sonic at this point. I've never run this fast through a school in my life. Suddenly i realize i have no clue where i'm going and i stop so quickly that I stumble forward as someone runs into my back.
     I turn around and there is a very small girl standing there. She instantly apologizes, but when her eyes meet mine she stops and stares at me. She looks kinda freaked out.
      "No worries" i grin at her. "I'm actually glad you ran into me, i don't really know where i am." Dang she is really pretty. "I'm ricky bowen" i hold me hand out for her to shake but she laughs at it. I was kinda caught of guard, but her laugh was awfully beautiful.
        "I know who you are, ricky!" she smiles at me. Her voice sound familiar, but who could she possibly b-
        "Nini??" I say surprised. "No way."
       She laughs again. "Did you not recognize me or something?" Ricky shook his head in denial at a loss for words. He thinks back to girl he had the hugest crush on in 5th grade, and the eighth grade nini who still wore pigtails and had braces. She had been a theatre dork and all his friends made fun of her. he never joined in because he saw nothing wrong with nini.
        "i-i mean you've also been pretty" I stuttered. "but honestly you look stunning." oh shoot did i really just say that out loud?
         Her cheeks automatically flush and she looks at her shoes. "uh thanks." There was an awakened silence, but nini breaks it.
      "so," she smiles. "let's try to find this home room, shall we?"
       I grin "Lead the way"
