It's been 11 years since the last time I saw Tommy Pickles and the rest of my friends. I was 6 then, I'm 17 now. We all went our separate ways. I don't remember though, we were all too young. The last time I saw Phil, Lil, Susie, Angelica, Tommy and Dil was the summer before first grade started, isn't it a bit weird? I'm already and incoming freshman for college and I haven't even received a single email, call or message from them. There are even times I reckon they've forgotten about me. There's no day I spent not thinking about them, do they still live on the same street, does Susie still live across Tommy's house? These questions not even my parents could answer. They just seem to have lost contact with each other, all because of a stupid bet. Well, that's the only thing I remember, they had a bet and baam we were off to migrate to this country. I don't hate Britain, I love it, but the comfort of America was surely missed. Since I was a baby I've been used to moving to different countries. Starting from Japan, to Paris, the States and now Britain. I must admit, I had a hard time adjusting from the spelling, the cultures and the other blahs, but I love Britain, I had friends the first week we were here and they're still my friends until now, and well Chuckie, he had friends too. Chuckie's an incoming Sophomore since he's a year older but yeah, we both know what we want, news from the friends we left in America.
"Kimi, Kim, Kimi? KIMBERLY WAKE UP!"
"Ugh leave me alone Chuckie."
"But it's your first day of College today." He sat down on Kimi's bed and he hit her with a pillow.
"OUCH! I don't want to go to College yet, Chuckie. I feel old."
"Excuse me, are you calling me old? Haha, I assure you Kimi it's going to be fun."
"What if it doesn't? I might go all socially awkward again. Remember what happened on my first day of high school?"
Chuckie laughed remembering what happened on that day.
"Okay fine, Charles, laugh all you want. I just don't want to humiliate myself in public anymore. It was terrible."
"It won't happen, you've matured a lot since that day." He said as he kissed his sister's forehead.
"I hope you're right. Oh and tell mom I'll be down in a few minutes, I'll just prepare and I'll join you guys for breakfast alright?"
"Sure Kim."
She took a shower, chose a lovely pair of jeans and a nice oversized sweater. The weather was a bit chilly and she wouldn't want to get frozen so she wore this and a pair of sneakers. She tied her hair in a messy-neat bun, got the materials she needed and went downstairs.
"Good morning, Kimi."
"Good morning, Dad."
"Kira went to work early today."
"Oh, where's Chuckie?"
"He said he'll just talk to James a bit, he'll be back soon. So come and eat your breakfast."
"Hmm, pancakes. You guys sure know what to prepare during a big day, huh dad?"
"Of course Kimi. Now eat you wouldn't want to be late."
"Yeah, I sure don't, I'm scared of what the professors might think of me though. I'm actually a bit scared. Well, I have Chuckie, and heaven knows what he did during his freshman year."
"HEY! For your information I was at the top of the class last year and I didn't do anything bad, so you've nothing to worry about sis, they think the Finsters are amazing." Said Chuckie.
"Maybe you're right, but yeah, Dad what time will the bus come?"
"The Bus? Kimi this is College, no more buses. That's why Chuckie's here, it's a good thing the Sophomores don't have classes until next week, Chuckie can teach you how to ride the train to be able to go to the University."
"Oh, right." Kimi sounded disappointed, but he agreed anyway. Soon Chuckie and Kimi were off to University.
They rode the train until they reached UNIV.
"Wait so the University we're going to is called UNIV? How original."
"Shush Kimi, it's a really great place once you see it. I'm so excited to introduce you to your teachers."
"Can't I introduce myself?"
"You can but, they might give you additional grades if they know that you're related to me."
Kimi rolled her eyes.
"What? I was kidding."
"Alright, if you say so."
Soon the siblings arrived and when Kimi saw the view of UNIV University, she was awestruck.
"Kimi? Kimi? KIMBERLY FINSTER!"
"Oh, what, sorry, I was just dumbfounded. University's really amazing, isn't it Chuckie? Chuckie?"
She saw his brother staring at this girl, she was tall, fit and pretty. She had lavender hair and freckles but this didn't ruin her beauty, she was gorgeous.
"Looks like someone has a crush." Said Kimi teasing her brother.
"I have got no crush! Besides, I'm still aiming to be at the top of the batch this year and I won't be able to achieve it if I have girls."
"But I'm a girl."
"But that's different, you see, you're my sister."
"So, what's her name?"
"Who?"
"Her?"
"What?"
"Wait, Chuckie, is she who I think she is?"
"Who?"
"Is she Megan?"
"Megan wh-hoooly. You mean Megan who bullied me in the playground when we were little?"
"Yes, she looks awfully like her."
"Oh and Kimberly, for your information, I wasn't looking at her. I was looking at the girl behind her."
Kimi looked and saw Nicole. She saw her long brown hair, she was wearing a dress and heels. She and Kimi have been batchmates since they moved to London, they knew each other but they weren't really that close. Nicole was one of the popular people and she was very girly, very girly indeed. Her materials were always pink, hot pink, fuchsia, red, hot red, yes all those girly colors. But, Nicole has a pleasing personality, only a stupid person won't like her.
"Oh, so you've got a crush on Nicole, huh?" Kimi asked, in a teasing tone.
"Maybe." Chuckie said, blushing.
"Charles Finster, you suck at lying."
"No I don't. You're just good at knowing if people are lying or not. Besides you're the one who sucks."
"I do not!"
"Sheesh, I was kidding."
Kimi rolled her eyes and they both started walking.
"So where are we going?"
"To the secretary's office to get your schedule and we'll go to the Freshman Faculty room, they said I could visit them anytime."
"Okay." Kimi just followed Chuckie and she was just amazed at what she saw.
She didn't really realize that they were already in the Secretary's office until Chuckie spoke.
"Good Morning, Mrs. Wilkins."
"Good Morning, Mr. Finster. So, what can I do for you today, I believe Sophomores don't start their classes until next week, but I have your schedules already."
"Really? Oh, I actually wasn't here to get my schedule, but my sister's. Kimi, this is Mrs. Wilkins, the secretary of the Principal and Mrs. Wilkins, this is my sister, Kimberly Finster."
"It's nice to meet you, Ma'am."
"Oh, she's polite too, I never knew you had a sister Charles. Well I have high expectations with you Ms. Finster. You see, your brother has contributed a lot to this school since the first day of his Freshman year." The bell rang.
"The first bell, looks like you have and hour to go, Finsters, here you go, Kimbery Finster, here's your schedule and Charles, you can have yours too, but don't tell the others I gave you yours already okay?"
"Alright Mrs. Wilkins."
"It was nice meeting you, Mrs. Wilkins."
"It was nice meeting you too, Ms. Finster, I'll see you around."
They walked through the halls until they reached the Freshman Faculty.
"Okay, go in Chuckie, I'll wait here."
"Yeah, sure. I'll just call you when I'm all ready to introduce you."
Kimi waited there patiently as her brother went in. She waited for at least 30 minutes until Chuckie asked her to go in.
"Is she the famous Kimi Finster?" asked a lady, she was pretty, too pretty to be a teacher actually, she could actually be a model.
"Yes Professor Lim. She is."
Famous? Kimi thought. She let it pass and then Kimi was introduced to every single teacher in the Freshman Faculty room, everyone seemed pleased about it but she noticed a teacher sitting down on the corner of the room, she tried to be polite to the teacher by smiling but nothing happened, the teacher still had this straight face on and she seemed not interested in meeting her. They had a few more chats and then Chuckie and Kimi left.
"Hey Chuck, who was that…" and the second and last bell rang.
"I think that question has to wait Kimi. Here's your schedule and if you get lost feel free to ask anyone on the Campus, I'm your brother anyway. Alright Bye Kim!"
"Bye Chuckie. Oh what am I going to do without you now?" she whispered, Chuckie didn't hear.
She went around and around. She realized this university was huge and she knew she'd have a hard time looking for her room.
She saw Nicole looking around too and so she approached her.
"Hi I'm Kimi Finster. We were batchmates in high school but never really shared the same class." She said smiling.
"Yes, I know you. I'm Nicole." She said and smiled back.
"What room are you going to? I'm in the class of Professor Jenna Carter, I don't really know where Room 732 is though. You?"
"I'm part of Professor Olivia Herrera's class, it's a bit far from your room, I'm in Room 719, I don't know where it is though."
"Oh, do you like, want to walk together?" Kimi asked.
"I'd love to but I still have a few errands to do, Sorry Kimi, maybe tomorrow?"
"Yeah sure. See you around, Nicole."
"See you, Kimi."
She went around and around until she found Room 732: Homeroom – Professor Jenna Carter. She took a deep breath in and went inside the room. "What could go wrong?" she thought.
So that was Chapter one. Haha, please forgive me if I wrote this suckishly. It's the first fic I've actually had the guts to publish, yeah. Haha, alright.
I placed a lot of sibling majigs in this chapter because there's nothing better than brotherly/sisterly love. Alright, review? no? okay. :(
