The girl could pass as someone apparently normal in that weird high school, crowded with dozens of people with different obsessions and oddities behind them.

The Lockwood household is composed by her mother and Nicole herself. There was no father figure in her life and not because he walked away from them or anything alike, actually the explanation for that is quiet complicated.

When her mother was younger, she came to an age when she found out there was no need for her to spend the life life attached to a man, and although her plans didn't include a spouse, she still wanted to have children of her own.

And in order to have a family by herself, she collected enough money for some time and then, she began with a process to get pregnant.

One day after a few months of treatment, she finally found herself pregnant and eventually she only had to wait until she could recieve her daughter.

According to Nicole,one day her mother packed her bags and without a previous explanation, she left her family behind them, ready to move away to start a new life along with her kid.

Her choice stands until this day, even after her parents tried to reach the small family when the girl was born, Lucia denied their presence in her life. Yet, they weren't complelty alone, having some friends of her mother around to keep them company ever since she was a baby, she liked to think her family was composed by aunts only.

Maybe those were the only things considered as an oddity but it wasn't like she had a say on those things either, if it weren't for the decisions of her mother, she wouldn't be around.

...

Suprisinly the day has flowed nicely, it is obvious some people can't get past their issues but nothing too preoccupying.

The hallways seemed peaceful, only silence among the boring classes of the day, at least in my classroom no one emitted a sound, and if they could avoid eye contact with the teacher it was for the better, I mean who would want to be picked to participate?

No one.

As I say, the day was surpsingly calm, at least until a hight pitched scream echoed in the hallway and disturbed my thoughts as I try to take notes. The horrible sound came from another classroom nearby mine and  when our teacher goes out to check, she tells us the conmotion was caused by a new kid.

Classic.

Does the principal really needs more troubled people running around? Isn't it enough with those idiots out there?

Another hour passes until we are free to go to the next class and everyone including me, storm out of it, already tired with anything related to physics.
