Oliver Nichols was always one to wake up early. He loved to be up before everyone else, and in his family, that wasn't hard. On his days off, which were few and far between, his dad would rarely get up before nine. And hell hath no wrath like his mother does when she's woken up earlier than ten. Their's a reason the library doesn't open until 11:30, and that reason is Lucy Nichols. His sister on the other hand, was the only one who shared his love of the early morning. Well, she did at least, until the...accident. 

These small facts about life in the Nichols house made it so that Oliver was the only person up at 6:00 in the morning, already showered, dressed for the cold, and preparing breakfast. His dad padded down the stairs in his suit and tie, briefcase in hand. [color=#0086b3][b]"Smells like someone's making pancakes again. Where in the hell did you manage to get the gene for cooking?"[/b][/color] his dad asked, a smile on his face as he grabbed one of the full coffee mugs that Oli had prepared. Oli simply shook his head and chuckled. [color=deepskyblue][b]"My theory is that I was adopted, although Mom has debunked that one, with multiple, extremely graphic descriptions of my birth."[/b][/color]

His dad gave a hearty laugh at that one, and gave his son a nod of thanks as he dumped three pancakes onto his plate. Oli, not feeling particularly hungry, grabbed only one, wrapped it up, and bit into it. Smiling, he ran upstairs to his most daunting task of the morning. Waking up Madi. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the onslaught of insults and stuffed animals that was sure to greet him the moment she opened her eyes. Once he was satisfied with his preparation, he slowly opened the door to her room and stepped on through, wincing as he said, [color=deepskyblue][b]"Madi, if you don't get up now you're going to have to go to school looking like a foot,"[/b][/color] turning on the lights in her room and opening up her curtains.

Madi, for her part, did not get too vicious with her insults. At least not at first. It wasn't until Oli tore the covers off of her, letting the cold air brush against her skin, that she really went for the kill. [color=ff0040][b]"YOU ROTTEN LITTLE WEASEL! GO! GET OUT YOU UNWANTED LITTLE SKEEZ!"[/b][/color] Madi shouted, her voice carrying throughout the Nichols' home, and bringing her father running upstairs to see what was going on. [color=#0086b3][b]"Hey! Madi, you were all wanted. Now, I can't dispute the weasel remark. That's a fact,"[/b][/color] Jameson said with a chuckle, one that earned him a glare from Oli.

Despite her remarks though, Madi was up, and she certainly wasn't going back to sleep. Not on Oli's watch at least. While Madi got dressed, having showered the night before, Oli faced the wall, and cracked really shitty jokes. [color=deepskyblue][b]"Hey Mads?"[/b][/color] [color=ff0040][b]"What Oli?[/b][/color] she responded, pulling her shirt over her head. [color=deepskyblue][b]"What do you call it, when you hand your friend the aux chord, and they play shitty music?"[/b][/color] he asked, a stupid grin on his face. [color=ff0040][b]"God damn it Oli, this is going to be stupid isn't it?"[/b][/color] she demanded as she ran a brush through her hair. [color=deepskyblue][b]"Aux-ward! Get it? Like awkward?"[/b][/color]

Madi smirked, the result of her desperately trying to stop herself from laughing. She finished brushing her hair and took a look at herself in the mirror. She looked great, she'd admit that. She took a deep breath, and turned to look at her brother. [color=ff0040][b]"Oli, are we really ready to go back?"[/b][/color] Madi asked, her face a mix of emotion. Oli stood up and walked over to his sister, smiling, and then flicked her on the forehead. [color=deepskyblue][b]"Of course we are. Now let's go, we don't want to be late!"[/b][/color] he said, wincing as she smacked him on the back, hard.

Finally, after Madi had grabbed a pancake to eat on the ride over to the school, the siblings stepped outside and got into Oli's [url=http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/21165632.jpg]car[/url], a Mercury Sable that he'd affectionately named Elphaba, mainly because he was a whore for Broadway. Madi's nails curled into the leather seats of Elphaba, but Oli gave her a look, one that reassured her that this would all be good. She nodded, and focused on the road ahead, her stomach plummeting as they began to drive towards the school. 

The rest of the car ride was a blur, mainly because Madi had her eyes closed for the entirety of it. She still couldn't stand being in cars, and she'd have definitely walked if it wasn't so fricking cold outside. Once at school, she stepped out, book bag slung over her shoulder, and walked up to the entrance with Oli. Oli, to his credit, was handling the return remarkably well, waving to old friends, and smiling at everyone. Deep down, he was freaking out just as much as his sister, but he handled it a lot better.

Madi kept her eyes aimed at her feet as she and her brother walked to homeroom. She wasn't quite sure if she was really excited to see anyone. This summer had made her realize that she didn't have a whole lot of actual friends. People had come by the house to see Oli, not her. [color=ff0040][b][i]Your own fault dumbass[/i][/b][/color] she thought, shaking her head. There were [i]plenty[/i] of people she didn't really want to see. Lila Duclerc, Sierra Jameson, and most of all, Ryan. The first two she couldn't stand. Ryan however, was different. She cared about him, a lot, and she'd pretty much shut him out completely after the crash. She hadn't spoken to him since then, and she was scared about what he'd say.

Oli on the other hand, was thrilled to see his classmates. Sure, he'd seen a bit of Desi, Lila, Remy, and Jar over the summer, but unlike his sister, he genuinely enjoyed the members of his class. As they walked into their homeroom, Oli's face lit up. Remy was up at the white board, taking suggestions for the Senior Trip, and everyone was sat in a circle. They were all there, right where he'd left them. He grinned and took a seat with Desi on his right, and Madi on his left. [color=deepskyblue][b]"I say LA. We can check out Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood. Plus they've got beaches and a ton of cool shiz,"[/b][/color] Oli said, grinning. [color=ff0040][b]"What about Europe? We could see London and check out France and Rome? Get a little culture in all of us,"[/b][/color] Madi suggested, trying her best to inflect her usual confidence into her words. The Nichols were back, whether they liked it or not.
