2 Chapter 2

Nico's POV

Here I am Nico Vegas in New York city, so we arrived last night and am going to the best mall in the city with Eric today. It's just 9am, I picked up my phone ready to inform my friends back home that I arrived safely when Eric badge into my room.

No manners.

"Why is your room finer than mine" he said sounding offended as he eyed my room.

"Cause am more loved" I said simply.

"Just get ready we are going to the mall in ten minutes" he was about to head out.

"Wait Eric you told me by 10am" I said lazily.

"Yes, but I changed my mind-" he said but I cut him off.

"Then change it back." I said with an eye roll.

He ignored what I said and continued, "I have to in order to show you around New York and your way back home." He said and was about to leave when I called out to him.

"GPS" I said as he narrowed his eyes at me and i groaned getting up.

........

This place is fantastic and beautiful, we reached the mall looked up to see bold letters SHOPPING VEIL, nice name though. We entered the mall and Eric left me in the clothes session of the mall and went to get snacks and groceries. I was debating whether a costume looked like what I the joker wore before

I bumped into something..., no someone and looked up to find blue ocean eyes staring at me and a handsome guy about my age in front of me.

"Watch it" he said rudely.

Well his hot but his attitude is not.

"You bumped into me and you are rude instead of apologizing." I said with a glare.

"B****" he sighed and left.

What a jerk? I touched my neck to find out my late mom's priceless necklace is gone. What the heck, making me curse meeting that jerk today. So this is the first person I met here.

Great, just great.

NOTE: my sarcasm.

"Hey, Nick shall we leave have got everything and paid" Eric said and walked towards me. "Why do you look so worried?"

"It is nothing, let's go" I said still looking at the direction the jerk went to. We left the shopping mall and took a ride round the city. Parks, playgrounds, hilltops, restaurants and a mountain that you could view the whole city. That place was just cool and it is definitely now my favorite.

Later, we got home and I made lasagna from myself well Eric wasn't hungry. I ran up to my room and tried taking a long nap. Well I took a long nap not tried.

*~*

Shit!

My first day at school and am late, took a bath quickly got dressed up and straightened my hair. I looked presentable enough. I don't really care about being late just don't like the stares you get after you walk into the class late.

"Looking gorgeous" Eric said entering my room wearing black shirt and blue washed jeans.

"Let's go, it is already late!" I said pulling Eric and myself out, shutting the room door. I grabbed an apple and a bottle of water to stay hydrated screaming dad 'bye' as I entered Eric's car. I don't actually think he is around.

"Do you really want to do this with your gap year" I said as he looked at me then glued his eyes back to the road.

"I want to focus on the football coach thing in your school, it also really pays a lot of cash and it is what I really enjoy doing" he said and I nodded. I just had to be supportive. Having your older brother as a football coach is cool right?

Right!

We reached the big gate of the school taking few deep breaths as I walked in with Eric. He is one year ahead of me and he decided to take a gap year before college. It is kinda of funny to me cause i would be in the same level with him then.

Hehehe.

Eric said smiling "I will meet you in front of my car after school and don't be late" saying this he left. Looking for the main office for about twenty minutes, finding it and I gladly entered.

There was a blonde middle age woman behind her desk "how may I help you?" She asked with a little smile.

"Am Nico Vegas, am the new student, I need my time table and a map." She stretched her hand handing me my timetable and the school's map.

"Do you know your way around?" She asked nicely.

"Yeah"...complete lie. Eric was meant to walk with me but no he already left.

My first class was English, about to look for my class when someone says "Are you new here? Should I show you around?" I happily accepted the offer and after introducing myself.

"Am Jessy Secher" the girl replied nicely. She had big brown eyes, nice tan and blonde hair.

"Please, do you where the English class 312 is?" I asked looking at the map.

"Am going there too, we can go together."

We strolled down the hall then entered the class, everywhere became so quiet and everyone was looking at me. Exactly the stares.

Did I wear the back of my cloth or something, why are they all staring?

The stares are killing me.

Greeting the teacher looking at he's batch Mr Evans, thankfully am not too late. Mr Evans gave me a warm smile before saying,"take a seat Miss Vegas"

I took a blank seat beside Jessy as i looked around the class. I couldn't concentrate cause of the amount of noise coming from behind us. I sighed and asked Jessy, "Who are those boys making noise behind us?"

"Those guys are the the school's hottest and most handsome players, therefore known as the bad boys of the school. They are four childhood friends." She explained as I stared blankly at her.

" I will explain in details" she said as I turned well to listen cause the class was actually very boring.

"Firstly, we have Jay Davis, the biggest player of them all and the funniest. His always looking dashing. Secondly there is Daniel Smith, the most quiet, friendly and gentleman. Thirdly is the leader's best friend, Mike Clark who shockingly has good grades but his still a total player. Well last but not the least the leader, Jaiden Jones who is a cold hearted casanova and he literally doesn't smile. All the girls in this school wish to get their attention." She said staring at Daniel dreamily.

"Why?" I said glancing at them.

"Have you seen how hot they are" Jessy said and I shook my head with a laugh.

*~*

Lunch break, Jessy, myself and her friend Eve sat on their usual table. I felt someone boring their eye at the back of my back, when I turned to see the person, it's that jerk from the mall. I turned back so I asked Jessy, "who's that?" more curious to know.

"That's Jaiden the hottest in the school, I told you before." She said eating her meat balls.

"Why is he staring at me?"I said weirdly.

"Maybe, he was targeting you next" she said and my eyes widened "Am just joking, I don't know" she said and raised her hands in surrender. Eve peacefully ate her sandwich as if no one was talking, so I tapped her as my eyes asked why.

"OK, now your new here right?" She said trying to confirm.

"Yes"

"Have you two ever meet before?"

"No" I lied, just to see where she is going with this questions.

"The way he is staring at you says a different thing though" she said leaning back in her chair as I glanced at him again.

I don't really care but what if Jaiden has my necklace, now I care.

School is over, walking to Eric's car when someone hits me over with a bike.

Well the idiot hit just my right foot but it is still the same thing.

I looked up to see a smirking cocky Jaiden.

"Ouch! that hurts" he said in a high pitched voice.

JERK!!

"WTF!" I spilled a bottle of water all over him, now it's my turn to smirk as he glared at me.

Oh boy.
