Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 12:47:01 EDT From: Draven3064@aol.com Subject: An Unfamiliar Scene This is my first submission to Nifty and I hope you all like it. It's going to be in a realistic style so I won't be making my characters meet up, find out that they love each other and then they have sex, `cos how many stories on Nifty aren't like that? Anyway, enjoy the story, email me at draven3064@aol.com with suggestions, ideas, etc... flames will be deleted. This story is copyright to me and only me, if you wish to include it on any website you must have my authorisation first. So anyway, onto an unfamiliar scene, I hope you enjoy it! It was his first day in an American school, still confused as to why his mother wanted to move to the U.S, but he put those thoughts behind as he stepped onto the bus. Matt was around 6ft tall and weighed around 170lbs; he wasn't fat or skinny, he was what he liked to call, `in-between'. He sat at the nearest empty seat and looked out the window whilst listening to his MP3 player, he did not notice the girl sit next to him, but he did notice her tapping his shoulder for 5 minutes before speaking to her. "Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm Kaycee, you're new here right?" "Uh, yeah, moved here in August, I'm Matt." "Well, hey Matt welcome to Boston! I guess you haven't met anyone, you looked kinda lonely..." "Oh, I was fine, but yeah, I haven't had chance to meet anyone yet, been too busy moving all my stuff into the house." "Well, that's cool! I guess I'm your first friend." Kaycee reached out her hand to Matt, he returned the favour and they shook hands and laughed. "So, what ya listening to? Sounded pretty heavy!" She said, poking her tongue out playfully at Matt. "Oh, nothing, just a couple of bands I've been getting into recently." He said as he pushed the power button on his MP3 player until it turned off. "Well, that's cool, I'm into some rock stuff too, heh." The bus pulled up to the school and Matt and Kaycee stepped off last. "Hey, well I've got to meet up with my friend Jane; I guess I'll see you at dinner?" She said as she gave Matt a hug, he nodded and turned to walk to his home room. Kaycee watched Matt and said to herself; "Damn! Not bad looking for a quiet dude.... Oh hey Jane!!!" ----- Matt's first class was gym, great start to the first day he thought to himself. He didn't like the jocks and they obviously didn't take a liking to him, he sat with the geeky looking guys as a jock shouted out. "Hey man! Its that new kid and he is sitting with the geeks, let's give him the gym initiation, heh heh heh." Matt turned around to see the jock heading towards him. "What?" "Nothin', just you might not wanna sit with them is all, they're a bit faggy." David said as he tapped Matt with a light punch in the arm. "So what if they're faggy, at least they don't have to show off to make friends with the new kid. Hopefully I won't be seeing much of you." "Shit man, I was just warnin' ya." David turned to walk off. "Yeah well you don't have to warn a fag about choosing to sit with other fags, and quit talking black, you ain't 50 Cent." Matt said before leaving the changing room for lunch. ----- At the dinner table Matt was as talkative as ever, he introduced himself to Jane and said hey to Kaycee then got down to eating. "Rough morning, Matt? You look dazed." Kaycee said whilst trying to eat the chewy Lasagne. "Just a dumb jock being a prick, that's all" Matt said bluntly as he returned to his food. "So, where y'all from? I can tell ya ain't from the U.S, y'all don't have the accent." Jane said with her rough Texan accent. "Oh, I'm from England, my Mother thought it would be fun to relocate me to America whilst I was studying my GCSEs..." "Oh." Jane paused as she felt her phone vibrate, she picked it up and read the message, "Well, y'all take care now, I've gotta go, David's bitching at me, catch ya later." Jane sped out of the dining hall. "Wait, she goes out with David?" Matt looked a little scared from that statement. "Yeah, she keeps him in line though, y'know? Always telling him off for picking on the quiet guys." "Well, that's interesting, I-" Matt was paused by the sound of the bell informing the students to go to homeroom. "Well, I'll see you later Kaycee." "See ya soon." ----- As Matt entered the homeroom, a little out of breath and red faced, he noticed he got some funny looks from the guys at the back, the same guys he chose to sit with in Gym that morning. "Well, hello Matt, thinking of joining us this afternoon?" Miss Anderson said sarcastically as she began to take the register. "Yeah, sorry I'm late miss, won't happen again." Matt said as he sat in the only remaining seat at the front of the room, the popular girls started whispering to each other and giggling at Matt. Another guy sat at the front of the class passed Matt a note, but as Matt began to read it Miss Anderson questioned him. "And what is this? Love letters on your first day Matt? Well, come on read it to us." Miss Anderson sat with a big grin on her face as Matt hesitantly read the note out to the class. "...uh...it says...Meet me at the old park later...no name on the note or anything" "Aww, well don't worry about it, `cos I'll give you plenty of homework to do and Mr or Mrs anonymous, can stay that way." Miss Anderson said as she began to hand out homework. "....bitch" Danny mumbled to himself as he pushed his chair back against the wall and thought of another way to meet Matt in private.
