Split Life- moving on, eighth grade, Nicole�s point of view

Chapter one

Hopping out of bed, Nicole Harrman wondered why she even bothered to get up. It was around elevan o�clock on a Summer�s Monday morning. Maybe she figured that it was the last Monday of Summer, which it was, and as happy as the last Monday should be, Nicole could not help but wonder; should she savor it and sleep in later, or wake up earlier? That would be a first.

Deciding to get out of bed over just laying there and thinking about John, Melissa and her wasted life was a big thing. Normally Nicole would just lounge about until around one, then trudge to the living room with a headache.

Laying there on the couch while her brother�s cartoons squealed loudly from the television, Nicole wished she hadn�t stayed up until three in the morning last night. Next week school would start, who needs to sulk about on the first day?

�Well, I�ll give you a month. After that you�ll �sulk about� as much as you please. Park Forest is as boring and superficial as possible,� She reminded herself while downing her daily Ibuprofen with the help from a can of Pepsi.

Her day went by with its usual laziness, as did Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday was a bit different.

The woosh-woosh music of AIM instant messenger filled Nicole�s ears as she signed online. The usual Patrick and some dland people we online, along with Melissa and -gasp!- John.

�Argh!� Nicole said out loud, �That damn game! Honstly, me and Mel are gonna hit it with the worst we have! Only if we knew how....�

The phone rang.

�Hello?� Nicole sighed, with the slightest bit of annoyance in her tone.

�Hey... Nicole? It�s Ricky. Remember me?�

�Yea, I remember you. The supposed homosexual Emu at my party last year?�

�Umm...� the voice trailed off �Yes! That, erm, was me, but I didn�t call about that. There�s something else I need to tell you,�

What could it be? Nicole wondered. Obviously something important, otherwise Ricky wouldnt not have called over about a million area codes just to tell her something.

What could it be?
