It was the first day of a new high school for Laura she had just moved with her family and was starting school on the Monday. She loved school, getting the homework, working in a team, going out with friends and just doing what normal girls do. All she ever wanted was friends and being happy but she never had had any friends in her entire life because she wanted good grades and never made time for herself. Except for her ex boyfriend Dan. He had just dated her because he knew she would get him the A star grade he needed but behind her back he was going out with the head cheerleader Kelly. Dan never cared before about her but he knew she was the best person to get him the grades he needed for College.
Monday finally came round and as she walked into her new school she thought to herself this is going to be me and you for the next five years. As she walked she saw all the friends run to each other and watched as how they all laughed. Laura walked to her locker 458 and as she got closer to it there was already a few people standing around there. She looked up and smiled at them "excuse me" when the tallest guy just looked down at her and smiled and said to her "oh sorry" and moved out of her way. He looked at Laura and then turned to his friends"guys we'll meet up later just really need to finish my homework. She closed her locker when he looked at her when he smiled and said "so who are you then"? she looked up at him and laughed "I'm Laura I'm new here just started today". He looked at her and nodded "well it's lovely to meet you Laura". "I'm Nick" Nick looked at his book and sighed to himself. She looked at Nick " Are you ok"? "is everything ok"? He looked up at me and sighed softly "Not really i need to finish this homework". It's the new start of term how did you get homework"? Nick laughed I kind of didn't finish it during the holidays". Nick looked at me and laughed a little "Nick are you free for an hour maybe I could help you finish it if you like"? Nick just looked at me you would help me finish this before my lesson which I have in like 2 hours". Laura laughed and just nodded. Nick just smiled as they made their way to the computer room.
That morning was spent helping Nick finish his home work we finally got it done when he hugged me "thank you so much for helping me Laura I just hope it's enough writing". I laughed softly "it's fine no need to thank me". He looked at me when he took a deep breath. "Laura"? I looked up at nick and smiled "can we talk later i mean if you have time after school"? I nodded "sure" Laura looked at her school time table " history is my last lesson when he nodded and "i got basketball practice till 5pm". I nodded and smiled at him. As he walked away "Nick"? he turned around "Yeah" i walked over to him i'll walk with you to class and then come and wait for you later". He smiled and hugged me and just nodded "I'd like that".
That afternoon Laura was in class when she heard guess the biggest bitch going around the school saying how she's gonna get Nick. Laura thought it was just so weird unless she was his girlfriend but Nick never mentioned her when we were talking ealier. As she sat there this girl walked over "Hi" Laura jumped when she giggled at her oh sorry "hi" when she laughed "Sorry if i made you jump are you ok though"? I laughed when she nodded yeah "I am fine".
"I am Leighanne Brian's girlfriend i smiled "I am Laura" she smiled "yeah we know all about you" I looked at her confusingly "what do you mean"? She smiled Nick spoke about you too Brian and me" Laura nearly fell off her chair when the teacher came in.
Leighanne sent me a peice of paper "are you going to meet Nick afterwords"? Laura laughed and looked at her and nodded. She sent her another one "He likes you Laura". Laura put back to her " How when he doesn't even know me"? she laughed "he considers you a friend more than others I could say" when she watched Leighanne look over to the bitch. She looked over at the girl and just shook her head and laughed she was doing her hair and make up and throwing herself at another guy. Laura thought yeah as if she's with Nick she wouldn't be throwing herself at someone else.
That afternoon i watched Nick when the bitch (name Leighanne uses too laughs to herself) walking over when she screamed to Nick "Looking good out there Carter". He just looked at her and shakes his head at her and contiunes to train.
Laura wanted to laugh so much. Nick looked up and saw her sat there and he smilied so much he got Laura smiling too he waved too her when she waved back to him. Leighanne smiled to herself when she sat next to me.
"See I told you he likes you". Laura smiled when she saw Leighanne standing there. "He told us that you were helping him with his homework"? "Yep" Laura looked back at Nick and smiled to herself. Leighanne smiled "so you helped him with his homework this morning" when Laura just nodded "yeah he needed to finish some stuff on the computer and I offered to help him with it".
Nick ran over and sat next to me and smiled "well what are you two fine ladies doing over here all on your own"? Leighanne laughed nick smiled at her. "Brian's waiting for you by his locker". She nodded see you later guys when she whispered too me "remember what I said.
Laura began walking when nick ran upto me, "thanks again for helping me this morning Laura". I nodded slowly all that was running in my head was "Nick likes you". "You know Laura" I looked up at him when she smiled at him "yeah" "I just hate being so popular it drives me insane everyone thinks cause I'm popular I should date someone whose popular".
Like that girl who shouted to you, he sighed and looked at her "you mean Vanessa"? He smiled at her Vanessa is a nobody just a stuck up bitch that wants to show to the highschool that her popuality gets her a boyfriend whose also popular. She looked at Nick and laughed "guess when i saw her throwing herself at someone else threw me off a little bit".
Laura looked at nick and smiled at him "so you're not a couple"? he looked at her like she had gone crazy when he laughed to himself "No we are not a couple trust me I'm single". Laura smiled to her selfVanessa wants me but trust me I ain't interested in her she's not a very nice person just be careful of who you become friends with.
I looked up at Nick laughed when he stopped me "I just want be treated like a normal guy that's not just popular or can do the sports stuff". Laura hugged nick "you already have some friends that doesn't see you popular". Nick smiled as Laura walked away when he watched her and smiled to himself when he thought "Popular guy falling for the new girl" would it be worth losing it all of this for, for this one girl when just smiled to himself and watched me smiling and waiting for him "oh yes it would be so worth it....
