I begged my parents not to sell the house and move, but they didn't listen to me. They had already sold the house and we were moving, right before my 16th birthday. Oh great, I was forced to leave the few friends that I had behind. I said goodbye to Brianna and Kevin, and got in my parents car as it started to rain. I put in my headphones and took out my notebook and started drawing, we had got to Transylvania sooner than I expected. I got out of the car and looked up at the new house, it looked liked one of those mansions in a horror movie. I thought it was pretty cool, but what would I do in this big house, all alone for no one to share it with. I went up and picked my room, it was dark red, and black. My two favorite colors, I laid down on the bed and just fell asleep.

I woke up the next day, September 4th on a Monday. I got a small cake from my parents. I made a wish that something interesting would happen, anything in this cold dark town. That I would meet some friends, and maybe a nice boyfriend. The last one I had wasn't that good. I then decided to take a walk around the new neighborhood. It was pretty chilly and windy, I was wearing my black skinnys, black shirt, and black converses, and skeleton fingerless gloves. I fixed my vampire red dyed hair as I grabbed by AC/DC hoodie and walked off. I went to a nearby park, I ran to the swings and sat there, swinging and listening to my ipod. Then this boy in the distance caught my eyes. He was pale, had black hair with a little red dyed in it on the top, he wore a black shirt, a sweater, a leather jacket and his pants were black with patches of skulls and crossbones on it. My glasses really helped my eyesight. I stared at the mysteriously cute boy, then I blinked, and he was gone. weird.

Then this girl showed up in front of me, and I ended up kicking her in the face. What an awkward way to meet a girl, I hope she wasn't mean, but then again, she did get in my way.

"Oh, no! I'm so sorry" I said getting up, taking off my headphones and extending my hand.

She took my hand "No I'm sorry, I got in your way." She dusted off her black sweater and hair. Her hair was dirty blonde with blue, magenta, hot pink and purple streaked in. She was wearing black and white stripped tights, black shorts with a white tutu on top and black spiked boots. She had on a black choker necklace with a charm on it that was a skull and cross bones, and snakebites.

"I've never seen you here, you must be new."

"Yeah, I just moved here yesterday"

"Oh, you moved to the old Joice place. Nice to meet you, I'm Angel Rose." She extended her hand and smiled

I shook her hand and smiled back, "I'm Nichole."

"Welcome to the neighborhood."

"Thanks..so is there anything interesting to do around here?"

"Yeah, there's the park, the music store and the club where they have concerts at."

"Cool."

"Come on, I'll show you around."

She showed me around the town, stopping along the way telling me every little bit of history about every place. Wow, she must have lived here all her life. She took me to the club and said there was a concert tonight with some local bands and invited me to stay. She was guest listed cause she knew one of the bands really well, then again she knows everyone. I didn't have tickets, but she said she would bring me in with her. I called my parents to tell them that I would be home late. They told me not too late cause I have school tomorrow. Darn it, I had forgotten about that. I paid no mind to it and focused on tonight.

Angel took me over to a band called Black Veil Brides and introduced me to them. Andy the singer, Ashley the bassist, Jinxx and Jake, the guitarist and CC the drummer. Just then this blonde girl walked in and took Andy away.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"That's Andy's new girlfriend Juliet." Angel said with a disgusted look.

Just then Juliet's heel on her shoe broke. I laughed it was quite random, but funny. Then Angel took me out to see the other bands. After this one band Falling In Reverse played, the lead singer came off stage and as he walked by he winked at me. I wonder what that was about, as Angel pulled me aside.

"That's Ronnie and his band. Stay away from them."

"Why?"

"They're bad news, trust me. Just stay away."

Then Escape The Fate went on. I saw the bassist and almost dropped to my knees, that was the guy I saw at the park earlier. Angel then told me about them. Then Black Veil Brides went on. After they finished I told Angel I had to be getting home. Jake came to us greeting me with a "Hey" and greeting Angel with a kiss. I guess they were dating. Angel then took me home.

"I'll be seeing you at Transylvania High tomorrow." Whoa, how did she know I was going to school there.

"That is the only school in town, unless you're home schooled or something."

"Ha, I wish I was."

"Okay, Jake, Ashley and I will come pick you up at 7:30 am."

"Okay, thanks."

She took me back home and I hugged her goodbye, happy to be going to a school where I already knew someone. I went to my room and got ready for bed and school the next day. A red tank top, a black fishnet top on top of it, red skinnys, black knee high converses and my leather jacket. Then I fell asleep.

After dropping off Nichole I went back to the venue meeting with with Jake and my brother Ashley.

"So who was that girl?"Ashley asked with a smirk, I knew exactly what he was thinking

"She's new, oh and don't even think about doing anything to get her to do anything!"

Jake laughed as he turned to me, "Does she-"

"Nope, she's normal."

"Did you tell her?"

"Jake, I'm not that stupid."

"That's my girl" Jake put his arm around me and handed me a red rose. He was always sweet.

"Yuk! Can you two be romantic somewhere far far away from me." Ashley said rolling his eyes.

We went back to our place. It was just me, Ashley and Jake. I got into the shower as Ashley and Jake practiced, I got out, having a feeling someone was at my window. I got dressed and looked out to see Max, I invited him in.

"What now Max, need more stuff?"

"No, I'm good on that for the week."

"Good, so what do you want?"

"That girl you were talking to."

"No, I'm not gonna hurt her, she's nice and-"

"No, not that. You know how us guys are, we get our stuff from older people who are dying or something, I wanted to know more about her."

"She's new, you could get to know her at school tomorrow. Now go Max. I don't wanna deal with Ronnie and his gang tonight."

Max left out my window, as I got ready for tomorrow.

I got up, took a shower and got dressed. Angel, Jake and Ashley picked me up right on time, and we went to school. I went to go get my new schedule, as Angel stood with me. I hoped to have classes with Angel and I did, all my classes were with her. She's a senior, like me, along with everyone else I met yesterday at the concert. I know I should be a junior but I got skipped a grade in middle school cause of my high grades. She walked with me to home room as I saw the guys from Escape The Fate walk into the main entrance of the school, from left to right, Robert, Craig, Monte and last but not least Max, they were all wearing sunglasses, and as they passed me and Angel they gave us the sup nod. Angel looked at me and shook her head.

"Come on, lets get you to home room." She said dragging me.

The morning was pretty simple and then lunch. Angel invited me to sit with her, Jake, Jinxx and CC. Ashley kept going to different tables, and Andy was sitting with Juliet at their own table. Just then someone came up behind me touching my hair. I stopped eating and turned around and looked up to see Ronnie.

"You have beautiful hair."

"Um. thanks."

"Wanna come sit with me."

"No thanks."

I turned back around and saw Angel giving him a stare, he then sat next to me playing with my hair.

"Come on, it's better than sitting here with these freaks."

"Ronnie, leave, she said no!"

Jinxx said scowling at him.

"Yeah and what are you gonna do about it."

Just then a random student bumped into Ronnie as he stood up and their lunch got all over him. I laughed as Angel had a look of satisfaction.

Ronnie got mad, and his buddies, Jacky, Ryan, Derek and Mika came up and slammed the table and growled at Angel, Jinxx, Jake and CC. Ronnie then looked at me as he grabbed my hand.

"I'm not asking you to sit with me now, I'm telling you."

Just then Max, Craig, Robert and Monte walked up and Max was behind Ronnie

"She said no dude!" Ronnie got startled by Max, as did his friends.

"I suggest you leave man, before things get bloody." Craig said crossing his arms.

"Whatever, I know where to find you freaks later." Ronnie said as him and his crew walked off, as did Craig, Monte and Robert, but Max sat next to me.

"Are you okay, did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine, thank you." I said with a smile.

"I'm Max, by the way."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Nichole."

"Pretty name."

"Thanks."

"So, how do you like the school so far."

"I like it, it's nice."

"Cool, and what about the neighborhood."

"Hmm, pretty quiet and calm."

"During daylight." Max mumbled but I heard him.

"Come again."

"Not-" Just then the bell rang, I could swear lunch just started.

Max's friends came by to get him as he stood up and patted my shoulder

"I'll see you around Nic." That's what I hated about my name. Nic was short for Nichole, I hated it when someone called me Nic, but when Max said it, I didn't mind. I got up and left with Angel to our next class.
