Nathalie's POV

Today was the day! My new school. I got ready in my usual outfit and ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and made and attempt to brush my hair but it didn't work so I just put on my hat to make it look better. I used telekinesis to grab my skateboard and started to head out the door when my mom stopped me. "Hey, why don't I drive you?" She asked "But I've always skated to school." I said "well ok then." She said and I went out the door when I was met with two boys, one really tall and skinny with raven hair and blue eyes wearing a blue sweater and jeans, the other shorter and a little overweight with light brown hair and brown eyes wearing a sweater vest and red pants. They were on their bikes getting ready to go to school I presume.i walked up to them and said "uh hey. I'm Nathalie and I'm new to the neighborhood, I was wondering if you guys could tell me how to get to Arcadia oaks high?" I asked "Oh, I'm Jim and this is Toby, we actually go there too, maybe you can ride with us if you want." The tall one said "well, if you have a bike that is." Toby said "well, I don't but I have a skateboard." I said "ok then, just follow us." Jim said and we rode down the street and into a canal supposedly saving us five minutes. We arrived at school and went or separate ways because they were freshman and I was a junior so we had separate classes. (this happens a year before trollhunters) 

I found my the principle's office where I got my locker number and my schedule. I found my locker and put all the stuff I didn't need for my first class there. I had history with Mr. Strickler. I headed over to class and sat down in a seat near the back when class started. "Now before we get into today's lesson,we have a new student in class, all the way from the east coast, Ms. Nathalie De Fanti. Why don't you introduce yourself." Mr. Strickler said and I stood up "hey everyone, I'm Nathalie, I'm from New York, I have a dog named Muffin, and uh, I like skateboarding." I sad while giving a little wave but practically no one was paying attention, most kids were on their phones. Class went by very quickly and I went to my locker to prepare for my next period.

Time skip to lunch

Ok so after i put all my stuff away, I headed over to the cafeteria to get some food. I just got a turkey sandwich and tried to find a place to sit, when I walked over to one table, they started whispering about the new girl, and when I went to ask to sit down, they purposely took up all the space and said "sorry new kid, this seat's full" in a passive agressive way. I got a little pissed  off but it was fine, I would sit somewhere else. The same thing kept happening at every table until I was left to eat standing up, alone. This would never happen in New York, I always had good friends who would hang out with me. My next class was math with Ms. Janeth so I went to go prepare for that.

In class we had a pop quiz that everyone had trouble with but me, we had learned all this last year so I was good, as I went to turn in my test before anyone else, some punk tried to trip me but it didn't work, i simply stumbled a little but quickly regained my balance when the guy called me egghead. I had never really considered myself like that, i was the one to help my friends with their homework back home but that was it. I turned in my paper and the teacher was very impressed, so i went back o my seat and from across the room, i used telekinesis to make the kid who tripped me's hood go over his head and eyes an he made a fool of himself while being very confused and everyone burst out laughing and the teacher scolded him while I just chuckled to myself being the only one to really know what happened.

My last class of the day was PE, UGHHHHHHH. I got changed into my gym clothes and headed over to the gym. Coach Laurence told us that every person there should be able to climb a rope attached to the ceiling and ring a bell at the top of it. I thought this was easy because me, Raph, and Leo would always do stuff like this as well as free running and parkoure for fun. I climbed the rope pretty quickly and rung the bell and the Coach looked at me impressed (this is before Krel and Aja came so yea) and when I got down, there was a group of people whispering just loud enough for me to hear about how I was a freak. This upset Ted me a lot more but I couldn't show it so I just walked away from them and did something else. 

When the end of school bell rang, I was out of there faster than anyone else and my mom was waiting for me in her car. Some of the kids behind me started mocking me and saying that I was a mama's girl and stuff like that. I ran into the car, shut the door and as I was buckling in my seat belt my mom asked "so sweety, how was school today?" "Just drive." I said in a monotone voice knowing that everyone was staring. "What's wrong? You seem upset." She said and my annoyance level skyrocketed. "JUST. DRIVE." I said as she was REALLY getting on my nerves after the day i had just had. She started driving away and I just looked out the window trying to think of something, anything to take my mind off of everything. When we stopped at the red light, my mom noticed something "hang on sweety you got a little something there-" she said as she tried to wipe whatever it was away and I swatted away her hand and wiped it of knowing that i probably had some pastel on my face from art class that I never washed off, I usually had spray paint on my arms because I would always go around and spray some art on a building, an abandoned subway car, or make it smaller, put it on a sticker and slap it on a traffic light. Little touches that made the place look batter. I could see that this bugged my mom but I didn't care. She looked a little hurt that I swatted away her hand but I didn't care, I started wondering where I could spray paint next as I brought a few bottles with me, it's a miracle I ever got them through customs. We got home and my mom started interrogating me "Nathalie, why are acting like this? Why were you so anxious to get away from school? Was someone mean to you?!" She asked and this was the last straw "would you STOP INTERROGATING ME?!" I yelled "EVER SINCE I GOT HERE YOU'VE BEEN WAY OVERKILL AND I AM SICK OF IT! I JUST WANNA GO HOME!!!" I yelled "but honey, this is your home." She said "NO ITS NOT! AND WILL YOU STOP WITH THE PET NAMES?! DON'T YOU GET IT? I DON'T LIKE IT HERE! THE KIDS AT SCHOOL ALL HATE ME FOR NO REASON AND ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BACK HOME RIGHT ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE LIFE!!" I said "but Nat, you know I'm always here for you." "NO YOU'RE NOT!! IF SO THEN WHERE WERE YOU WHEN DAD DIED?! YOU SENT ME OFF TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY!!! THEN YOU JUST SUDDENLY WALTZ RIGHT BACK INTO MY LIFE WHEN I WAS PERFECTLY HAPPY IN NEW YORK AND EXPECT ME TO LIVE WITH YOU AND EVERYTHING TO BE JUST PEACHY!!! YOU TOOK ME AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS, MY HOME, AND MY REAL FAMILY, THEY WOULDN'T SHIP ME OFF WHEN THINGS GOT HARD AND I NEEDED THEM THE MOST!!!!!!" I finished and my mother just stood there so I walked past her and made my skateboard and phone fly into my hands and said "I'm going out. Don't follow me, I'll be back my midnight." In a calm voice. I went out and slammed the front door behind me, got on my skateboard and left. I put in my air pods and played my good songs playlist on shuffleplay and I heard the beginning of the song by Compound Red 'one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do'
