Tiny Nic - The High School Years
Thirteen years old and at 'the big school'. Tiny and John walked there the first morning in full uniform (shirt, tie, skirt/trousers and blazer), looking very dapper if I may say so! The first morning you found out your classes - Tiny and John were not together.

For six months Tiny resorted to being one of the 'quiet kids'. Due to her overwhelming discomfort of a new enviroment. After settling in Tiny came out her shell. She had established herself as on of the 'in-between' students. Not pretty enough to be popular, not ugly enough to be a 'geek', Tiny stood with a large group of people. Soon the 'in-crowd' discovered that Tiny, though not gorgeous, was actually quite good fun, they offered her a place to stand but Tiny declined due to the fact that she thought they were all shallow.

April Fools Day was officailly Tiny Day! In five years Tiny organised four pranks (one less as Fools day was on a Saturday one year).

First prank - Tiny and her friends managed convince everyone in thier year that at ten am the whole class had to meet in the assembly theatre instead of going to class - the pranksters were never caught.

Second prank - Tiny convinced her english class to swap all the tables and chairs around in the class room while they waited for their teacher who was running late due to traffic.

Third prank - Tiny and her home ecconomics class decided that, while they waited for this teacher (she was a guidence teacher and they were always late as they had early morning meeting with students and so on), they would eat all the food in the fridge. the contents were for the second years 'how to make a pizza' lesson. The pizzas we made were a quarter of a french loaf with tomato puree and ham and cheese on it! The fridge contained - One big bowl grated cheese, several slices of cooked ham. Next to the fridge was 6 french bread stick thingys, everything was gone by the time the teacher arrived including some ryvita that was discovered on her desk!

Fourth prank - Tiny and her friend talked the class into removing all the inky bits from the teachers pens then claiming they had all forgotten their pens.

Tiny was a regular little business woman in high school, always with a scam on the go.
The first venture was selling posters from magazines, then after she had her VCR and cd player connected together she made audio tapes of stand up comedy videos and sold them, after this came the most profitable and simple. There was a chip van that went to the school everyday at lunchtime, however the 'queue' was a nightmare. A big jumble of people pushing to get lunch. If you didn't know what you were doing it was actually possible to be stuck here most of the break. Tiny offered her services to go to the chip van for people for 50p a time. Initially there were only 3 takers but as she was quite quick more people started asking her as word of mouth got around. At the end of her three years doing this Tiny had 12 - 15 people daily asking her to get them things.

Tiny was a bit quieter after most of her friends left at the end of forth year while she and some others stayed to do a fifth. Tiny couldn't get simple amusement from annoying teachers in a normal way anymore, she had pushed them as far as she could. However despite this most teachers did warm to her sense of humour after a while. One day during lunchtime in fifth year Tiny and some friends went back to her house (which was five minutes on foot from the school). Her friend Stephen stated how boring the play Grease might be (which they were going to see that afternoon with the drama class) and took out some dope and rolled it into a joint in Tiny's backgarden in the blazing hot sun. Everyone smoked it, then everyone smoked the next one (by everyone I mean the three of us!) and the next one. Grease was amazing until we hit the munchies! However the thing that didn't amuse alot of people was when we started singing along to the music, picking up on mistakes made and sarcastically clapping whilst saying 'yes well done, very good' then they especially hated it when we hit the giggles! This was something I did, I'm not proud of it but these days everyone tries it! Well round this place they do!

After seven years in primary school and five years in high school, Tiny was finally free. She started work in a small crappy shop but that went under. Then she started working in another crappy place and got fired and now she sits at her computer, dreaming of thebetter days she hopes lie ahead.

Tiny's dreams aren't of fame and fortune of wealth and popularity. They are simple, she would like to own one of them wee scootery things that the kids all have and have a better job that pays more than her sister will have when she's older so she can annoy her!
