=Normal POV=
(Monday, 9/4/2017-8:00 am)
(Archian Island, Berk)
(Berkian Academy)

A teenage girl with long black hair and a small section of red in the front hanging in front of the left side of her face strolled up to the main doors of her new school, Berkian Academy. Her honey brown, almost golden eyes laid on the handle as she reached for it and tried to turn the object, but it wouldn't budge. "Do the doors automatically lock if you aren't in the building at 7:30?" she asked to no one in particular. Sighing some, she looked around to try and see if anyone was walking by to let her in. This was her first day of senior year; being half an hour late was already bad enough, now she was locked out of the school? Suddenly, she spotted someone coming towards the doors and she knocked on the glass a few times. The person looked up and moved to the door to let her inside. "Thank you,"

"You're welcome," the girl smiled. "For future reference, though; if you press this white button on the speaker box it will connect you to the main office and they can buzz you in," she added.

"Oh," the seventeen year old began. "Didn't even notice that…I'm new to the school, and the whole area…"

"It's alright," the girl laughed a little. "The office is just over here on the left. It's nice to meet you; my name is Addilyn Jorgenson,"

"I'm Nicole, same to you," Nicole greeted.

"Well, have a good day! Hope to see you again," Addilyn smiled and rushed off to wherever she had been going. Nicole took a breath and moved to the office window as the receptionist looked up past her rectangular glasses.

"Can I help you?" the secretary asked.

"Uh, I'm a new student…My mom said all I had to was come to the office," Nicole informed.

"Name and grade?" the secretary inquired, looking back to her computer.

"Nicole Strondsen, senior," Nicole replied. The woman typed a few things and then was clicking with the mouse.

"I have you right here. Come around the corner and into the office," the woman remarked calmly. Nicole nodded and did as she was told, moving to enter the office and face the woman she spoke with just outside. "Just have a seat there; the principal will be out in a moment to talk to you," Nicole took her seat and waited patiently as the receptionist got back to working on her computer. Nicole sighed heavily, waiting about four minutes before a door to her right opened up revealing a man with short brown hair and brown eyes; he also had a goatee.

"Nicole?" the man asked.

"That's me," Nicole answered.

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Vincent Grimborn, principal here at Berkian Academy," Vincent introduced as Nicole shook his hand.

"Here you are, Mr. Grimborn," the secretary handed him a few pieces of paper.

"Thank you, Lyla," Vincent said, accepting them and motioning for Nicole to get up and come with him. Nicole rose, holding her bag and moving into Vincent's office. Once inside the principal's office, Nicole sat once more in front of his desk while he took his seat as well. "First off, welcome to the school. I spoke with your father on the phone last Friday about you joining us, so we're excited to have you. I understand you were attending Berserk Isle Preparatory, a private school?"

"Yes, sir," Nicole nodded to him. "But dad got a job offer for Berk General Hospital and couldn't say no, so we moved,"

"Yes, he mentioned all that," Vincent smiled. "Now, I won't take up too much time as we're already nearing the start of second period. I just wanted to make sure you get all your things before we send you off to class," he paused quickly going through the papers he was handed. "So, here is your schedule; there are seven periods to the day. And then we also have detentions, after school help, activities, and an extended school day," he continued.

Nicole took the sheet and looked it over; seemed like basic classes. "Does everyone eat lunch at the same time?"

"Juniors and Seniors will eat at the time you see on yours. The Freshman and Sophomores eat during your fourth block," Vincent stated as Nicole nodded and understood. "You have an assigned locker; it's not required to use it as you can carry your backpack with you. The choice is yours, of course," he went on. "The day runs from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. After school help or detention is from 2:40 to 3:40. Extended School day is 3 pm to 5 pm. This is also generally the time for sports practices. The games vary,"

"Not much of a sports player, but will bear it in mind," Nicole replied lightly.

"Excellent. Now, here is the school handbook. Dress code, rules, phone numbers; your main guide to everything about the school," Vincent mentioned calmly.

"Is there a map?" Nicole wondered.

"Unfortunately, no. For safety reasons, of course. For your first week here; I'm going to have someone who has all your classes help you out to find classroom, answer any questions, etc." Vincent responded.

"Okay," Nicole said as Vincent was on his computer to look for whoever would be in all of her classes. After a moment; he lifted the phone from the cradle and tapped a few buttons.

"Hello, sorry to interrupt. May I have Fisher Ingerman to the office, please?" Vincent said, then a pause. "Thank you," he set the phone down and then the two of them were just waiting. After five minutes, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Vincent invited. The door opened to reveal the secretary, Lyla, with a heavier set teenager who had green eyes and short blonde hair. "Ah, Mr. Ingerman. Thank you for coming down,"

"Am I in trouble? I-I told the twins not to bring the rollerblades to school…" the male, Fisher, said nervously.

"Well, we can certainly revisit that situation later. No, you're not in trouble; we have a new student joining us and you share her classes. I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to help her out for the first week?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, sure!" Fisher smiled.

"Great. Now, off you go! No need to miss more of the day," Vincent ushered them along to leave the office. Nicole stood up and moved with Fisher out of the office. "If you have any trouble, don't hesitate to come see me, or Dean of Students; Ryder Grimborn. Yes, we're brothers," Vincent informed.

"Okay, thank you," Nicole left with Fisher, holding her backpack on one shoulder and the papers she was given.

"So, hi. I'm Fisher Ingerman," Fisher greeted.

"Nicole Strondsen," Nicole stated as they walked down the hall together.

"So, what did Grimborn go over with you about the school?" Fisher asked.

"Basic stuff. School, after school, and extended day hours. Not required to use assigned locker, gave me the handbook and my schedule," Nicole responded.

"Well, the school isn't too hard to navigate. It's basically a big square with letter-labeled hallways, letter and numbered doors, then lockers for as long as they eyes can see," Fisher chuckled a bit.

"Seems easy enough," Nicole nodded to what he said, taking in everything he said as they turned off of D-Hall and went through a semi-outside area.

"This is the Breezeway; you can see the middle school from here, but it's where a lot of the students hang out between classes or for bus line up, since they all come back here at the end of the day," Fisher explained. Getting back inside the building, Nicole noticed they were now in C-Hall. "And here on the right is C12, our Language Arts classroom," he said opening the door to let her in.

"Welcome back, Fisher," came the voice of the teacher.

"Thank you, Mrs. D," Fisher smiled, taking his seat once more.

"Hello, there. I'm Myra DeFendor. You can call me Mrs. D or Mrs. DeFendor," Myra introduced with a broad smile. "Don't be shy, we don't bite and we aren't doing any work right now as it's the first day. We've spent most of the class just getting to know each other, would you like to go next? Nothing crazy; just name, age, where you're from? Anything you want to tell us."

"I guess…" Nicole said, facing the class. "I'm…Nicole Strondsen. I'm seventeen, and from Berserker. Uh…Live with both parents; mom is a paramedic, dad is a doctor. Used to go to a private school until dad got an offer to work at the hospital here, so we moved…" she stated.

"So this is your first time in a public school?" asked a male with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

"Yeah," Nicole nodded.

"Wonderful! I'm sure everyone will be friendly and helpful. Thank you. Now, let's get you a seat…" Myra looked around. "Ah, yes. You can sit right over there next to Hunter," she pointed. Nicole nodded and moved to the open desk next to an auburn haired male with green eyes, assumingly; he was Hunter. "Let's get back to it, shall we?" Myra suggested, calling on someone else to do introductions. Nicole only hoped things wouldn't be like this all day because she was sure to know the entire senior class by the end if such were the case. Staying quiet, she sat in her seat and listened to whoever talked next.

. . .

(11:30)
(School Cafeteria)

The remainder of the day leading up to lunch was uneventful. Following Language Arts was Study Hall, then History, and Gym. Study Hall was nothing special, and in History; Nicole learned the teacher was a man named Milton Fungis, Nicole already felt like she wasn't going to like him because got right to work on lessons after receiving textbooks and learning the classroom rules. This had also been done this in Language Arts too, gone over class rules, but never got a textbook, which was kind nice. Gym was explaining that they had to bring a set of clothes to use for gym, and how the day would work. After midterms in January, they would change over to second semester and have Health instead of Gym. The teacher was Timothy Wington. Now, it was finally lunch hour until 12:25

Nicole had stayed with Fisher all day, but he wasn't giving her much about the school; he seemed shy and unsure despite have a very happy disposition. "Did you bring a lunch, or are you getting school food?" Fisher asked as they were approaching the cafeteria.

"Brought lunch," Nicole responded.

"Great, I did too. We'll just head right to my friends' table then," Fisher smiled. Nicole just walked with him inside the large, loud room and to a table where a group of seven were sitting. "Hi, guys," he greeted. "Hey, babe," he said to a young woman with dark brown hair and green eyes.

"Hi," the female responded. "Who do you have with-," she began to ask before actually getting a good look, instantly gasping and standing up. "Nikki?! Oh, my Gods, is it actually you?!"

Nicole smiled some; she recognized who the girl was now. Only one person called her Nikki. "Hi, Heather,"

Heather instantly hugged Nicole tightly. "My Gods, it's been so long! I've missed you!"

Nicole hugged her back, feeling a bit more at ease to be at this school now. "Missed you too,"

"Sit, sit," Heather pulled her over a spare chair next to her as Nicole sat down beside Heather. "What are you doing here?"

"Dad got a new job here in Berk, so…Here I am," Nicole replied.

"This is going to be great!" Heather beamed.

"So, uh…You know Nicole, babe?" Fisher asked.

Heather nodded her head. "She's my best friend from Berserker; we were dormmates at Berserk Isle Preparatory,"

"Well, introduce us to her," stated a male with long blonde hair; they looked like dreads, and blue eyes.

"Everyone, this is Nicole Strondsen," Heather smiled, still trying to contain her excitement. "Nikki, around the table going from my right…" she took a breath. "You met Fisher already; he's my boyfriend," Heather blushed some as Nicole grinned and arched her brows.

"Your brother actually let you get a boyfriend?" Nicole inquired.

"It wasn't easy either…" Heather sighed some. "I'll tell you about it later," she added as Nicole nodded. "Anyway, I'll introduce you to everyone else," she smiled. "Next to Fisher are the twins, Raelyn and Travis Thorston. After them is Shane Jorgenson. Then there is Mindy Guarder, Ashley Hofferson, and Hunter Haddock,"

"Two of those names sound familiar…Haddock, your…Dad is the mayor of Archian Island, right?" Nicole asked.

"That's right," Hunter replied with a smile.

"And…Jorgenson…I think I met your little sister earlier this morning," Nicole recalled the girl from this morning saying her name was Addilyn Jorgenson.

"You met Addy?" Shane questioned.

"Yeah, about 8 am when I got to the school and was locked out. Didn't realize there was a speaker to connect to the office, but Addilyn let me in," Nicole informed.

"Addilyn is only about to turn sixteen on the 10th; she's a sophomore," Heather mentioned. "Hunter, Shane, and Addilyn are actually cousins through…I forget,"

"My dad and their dad are brothers," Hunter reminded calmly while eating his sandwich.

"Ah, alrighty then," Nicole nodded, understanding. "It's nice to meet you all," she added.

"Same to you. Hope you'll like it here," Ashley smiled.

"Now, girl…For one; I need your phone number. And two…I need you to explain this whole new look!" Heather demanded.

"You have my number, don't you?" Nicole inquired.

"No, we lost contact after I moved, remember? We only had e-mail, and then one day you just stopped answering. I think it was…When we were fifteen? Maybe fourteen," Heather reminded. "Yeah, fifteen because I was just starting freshman here at Berkian Academy,"

"Oh yeah! I got locked out of my e-mail; it wasn't intentional that I wasn't answering," Nicole explained. "And my phone had broken, dad wouldn't let me get a new one until my next birthday," she added. "My number is 298-301-2000,"

"Wow, that's easy," Heather laughed while adding the number into her phone and labeling it as Nikki. "Now, tell me about all this," she gestured to Nicole's look. "You didn't look like this," she admired all the newness her friend was sporting. "Last time I saw you it was brown hair, same eyes, obviously,"

"Well, mom let me get my nose pierced and dye my hair for my sixteenth birthday. And then for Christmas my dad allowed me to do my eyebrow piercing," Nicole smiled. "And then just before we moved, dad let me pierce the upper part of one ear," she shifted her hair to show Heather.

"That's awesome, and it looks so good!" Heather smiled wide and hugged her again. "Eeek, I'm so glad you're here!"

"I'm glad too," Nicole hugged her back. "How's your brother? Still a riot and protective?"

"Protective yes, but he's calmed down a lot since getting married," Heather replied as the two of them finally started to eat. Nicole blinked a few times.

"Oh, my Gods; Devon is married?" Nicole stared in surprise.

"Yeah, yeah. Just after I finished my junior year in June; he's married to Myra; our LA teacher," Heather informed.

"How come she uses DeFendor instead of Bazirk?" Nicole wondered.

"Easier at school I guess because my brother works here as an assistant coach for the Basketball team," Heather stated gently.

"Wow, good for him," Nicole ate one of her chips. "Now, tell me all about you getting a boyfriend,"

Heather laughed some. "I'm dating Fisher, we've been together since junior prom, which was June…10th, I think?"

"That's right," Fisher nodded. "It was supposed to be the eighth, but there was an oversight on the booking of the room we had to use with another event, so ours bumped to the next day," he explained.

"So…Where is your dad working? You said he got a new job and that's why you moved from Berserker?" Ashley smiled.

"Berk General Hospital," Nicole answered. "And my mom is a paramedic," she added. "No siblings, except Heather over here who is practically my sister," Heather beamed at that.

"Aw, I love you too," Heather said. "So, how do you like the school so far?"

"It's alright, still getting used to everything. No idea where anything is if not for the fact your boyfriend is my guide for the week," Nicole revealed.

"The school is easy; it's a big square," Hunter informed.

"Yeah, Fisher mentioned that, but I still haven't seen all of it," Nicole responded. "Like, where's the library? Nurse? Any of that?"

"We'll show you before lunch ends. Most of it is in A-Hall," Heather stated.

"Here, this should help you," Hunter slid a sheet of paper towards her showing a sketched map of the school. Nicole was able to see where all the hallways were now, and where some of the main places were.

"Thanks, but I thought Mr. Grimborn said no maps?" Nicole asked.

"He isn't gonna know if you don't show him," Shane remarked. "Just keep it to yourself and study it at home. Make sure you don't lose it,"

"I won't, thank you," Nicole said to Shane and Hunter.

"What's your personality like?" Raelyn inquired now.

"Uh…Straightforward?" Nicole shrugged.

"She means that she's real with people. No sugar-coating anything; if she has a problem with you, she'll tell you. If she thinks you need a reality check; she'll give it to you. Nicole is a no-nonsense girl, meaning she won't take anybody's crap. But she's also funny, smart, and kind. Very sarcastic, and definitely has a temper if you get on her bad side," Heather giggled.

"Basically…I can be your best friend or your worst enemy." Nicole shrugged a bit.

"Well, you don't have to worry about us being your enemies; we hate drama and senseless fighting," Mindy smiled.

"And we always have each other's backs," Heather added in. "You're gonna love it here with us,"

"I look forward to the rest of the year," Nicole nodded. Everyone smiled and agreed with her as they continued eating and talking about whatever; class schedules, plans, etc. Nicole felt like this was a good start to her final year of school and was happy to see what the rest would hold.
