Imagine Us As Angels
Good Morning~~!!!
Danielle
MORNINGGGG NIKKII~~!!
Danielle hugged Nikki outside of her house.
Danielle
Where's everyone else?
Nikki
We have to pick up Noel at his place cuz he overslept and everyone else said they'll meet us in the cafeteria.
Danielle
Not even a wink~!
Nikki
Oy! I told you to sleep early!
Danielle
HAHAHAHA! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!
Danielle ran towards Noel's house which was just a block away, Nikki chasing after her.
Noel was waiting for the two of them on his front porch, his backpack resting on his leg.
Noel
Did you do the science homework?
Noel
Can u please give me notesss??
Nikki got 2 papers, stapled together, out of her backpack and handed them to Noel.
Nikki
Yeah, don't mention it.
Marie
What are y'all doing here?
The three turned around and saw Marie walking towards them.
Marie
Wow, nice to see you both are energetic today.
Noel and Danielle smiled and ran ahead, Nikki and Marie giving chase until they reached the train station.
Automated train system: ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS. THE TRAIN WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY.
Nikki
Ooh, the train is arriving early.
Marie
Yeah I think it's cuz winter break just ended.
Noel
When are you guys moving back to the dorms btw?
Nikki came up from behind them holding two cans of coffee and two cans orange juice.
Danielle
Where'd you get those?
Nikki pointed at the vending machine under the escalator.
Nikki
The coffee is for me and Maria, you and Noel can have the juice.
Noel
So when are you moving back to the dorms?
Marie
Yeah, I'm planning to move back next week.
Nikki
I already moved back.
Danielle
EHHH???? NO FAIIRRR!!
Nikki laughed and drank the rest of her coffee.
Nikki
Relax, I didn't do anything to your side of the room.
Noel
I'm moving back tomorrow, it's too tiring to move back on a school day.
Marie
Oh yeah, they said that by tomorrow everyone has to get settled in.
Danielle
And yet your moving next Week.
Automated train system:ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS. THE TRAIN IS ARRIVING.
The train pulled over and the four went inside.
Nikki
Hey, can you hold my bag for a sec?
Danielle
Where are you going?
Nikki stood up and handed her backpack to Danielle, only taking train card with her.
Nikki
I'm just gonna pay ahead for my round trip for today,
Nikki
I'll be back in a few minutes.
Nikki walked over to the front of the cart the door shutting behind her.
Danielle looked at the broken hair tie in her hand.
Danielle
Well, Nikki wouldn't mind if I borrowed a hairtie from her.
Danielle looked through Nikki's bag for a spare hairtie and came across a small box made of thin cardboard.
Danielle
Huh? Whats that smell?
She opened the box, making sure Marie or Noel couldn't see her.
Danielle quickly closed the box and put it back inside Nikki's bag.
Jus then Nikki came back from the other cart.
Danielle held her bag, trying to hide her shocker expression.
Danielle looked up and shook her head.
Danielle
Nope! Here's your bag!
Danielle handed Nikki's bag and quickly sat back down.
AUTOMATED TRAIN SYSTEM : ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS, THE TRAIN WILL ARRIVE AT THE WESTRIDGE ACADEMY IN 1 MINUTE.
Noel
Hmm! The train is faster today.
Marie
I think it's cuz they had to renovate the tracks.
Marie
I heard that a Train with about 50 students almost slipped off the tracks.
Noel looked at Marie with curiosity.
Marie
Yeah, It was late last year I believe.
The train stopped at the station right next to the academy, or more so under it.
The four of them stepped out of the train.
Nikki turned around, looking for who called her and saw nox looking at her from the entrance.
Gabriel
We haven't seen each other in a while and you seem upset.
He looked at her with concern.
Nikki
.. It's nothing, don't mind me.
Nikki
Anyways, How's Dani?
Gabriel looked back at his phone, pretending to be looking at something important.
Gabriel averted his eyes.
Gabriel looked back up, flustered that Nikki was apologizing.
Gabriel
Wait--no, don't apologize, it's really fine!
Nikki
You don't look fine.
Nikki looked up at him, concerned.
Gabriel sighed and brushed back his hair.
Gabriel
Alright, I'll meet you at lunch? Wanna talk?
Nikki
Oh, okay. Where are we meeting?
Gabriel put his hand on his chin, pretending to think about it.
Gabriel
How about the stairwell of the 3rd floor?
"Knew he'd say that." Nikki thought.
Nikki
Okay, I'll see you then.
Nikki rushed back to Danielle who was waiting by the entrance.
Gabriel
"what's going on..?"
Gabrielle took out his phone and started texting.
Gabriel
Have you met Nikki already?
Gabriel
She seems upset over smth.
Gabriel
Can you figure it out?
Gabriel
Because I doubt the girls nor Rhian or I could figure her out.
Nox
Still tho why don't you do it? Weren't you both childhood sweethearts or smth?
Gabriel
Hey, we went over this,
Gabriel
You want me to remind you of Rey?
Gabriel
And your the only one who can figure her out.
Nox
Fine, I'll see if I can talk to her
Gabriel

Danielle
Hehe~! Rey was doubting if I was actually bisexual, now I have proof!
Nikki
You could've just asked.
Nox was standing at the end of the hallway.
Nikki sighed and whispered something to Danielle.
Nikki
You should probably head to class ahead.
Nikki
I'll be there, don't worry.
Nikki
This'll only take a while.
Danielle nodded and ran ahead.
He grabbed her arm and her to the stairwell.
Nox sat down on the stairs, Nikki leaned against the wall.
Nox kept looking at her, lik piecing together a puzzle.
Nikki
Shouldn't you be doing "council duties", Mr. Student council treasurer?
Nikki took out a small pen lik stick and put it in her mouth.
Nikki blew the smoke into a paper bag, making sure none of it got out.
Nox
Tch! Can't you listen for one second?
Nikki
Well, I'm here aren't I?
Nox stood up and looked her in the eye, before snatching the vape and paperbag out of her hand.
Nox put it in his pocket and sat back down.
Nikki
What do you want, suddenly dragging me here?
Nox
Someone told me something was off about you.
Nikki gritted her teeth and punched the wall.
Nikki clenched her bleeding hand.
Nikki
... Nothings wrong, I'm fine.
