CH 2

Nikolas smiled as his alarm clock went off; the sound meant that he was about to start off a new day. He got up and quickly took a refreshing shower, putting on a pair of Levis and a black shirt, after he was done; he walked over to his bed to put on his black boots. He squeezed out a bit of hair gel, and ran it through his short messy hair. He smiled at himself in the mirror and headed out the door of his bedroom.

Nikolas walked into the kitchen and began to make himself breakfast. Two eggs, toast, some cut up fruit and some juice. He needed to eat a good meal for soccer practice today. He turned around when he heard the door to the kitchen swing open and his eyes landed on his brother. “Brandon, I didn’t think to make you anything, you hungry?” He asked over to his brother. Brandon was only a few months older then him, they went to the same school, and although they were both popular, they hung out with a totally different group of people. But at home, they got along pretty well, they had their moments but for the most part they liked each other. Brandon looked similar to Nikolas, his skin was slightly lighter and he had blue eyes like his father Stovros, but about the same built and height, Brandon a couple inches taller. “No that’s OK I’m going to grab something on my way to school, thanks though.” Brandon said. Nik nodded his head and turned back around to his food, he brought it to the table and sat down. “I’ll have some coffee though.” Brandon said heading over to the machine. He sat down across from Nikolas after he retrieved his cup. “So, you remember I have that party here tonight right?” Brandon asked. Nik nodded his head as he swallowed a bite of his food. “Yeah man, and you said I could have a few people over too right?” Nik asked. “Yeah sure.” Brandon said. “Are you going to invite Maggie?” Brandon asked. He knew that she was the girl his brother liked, he had heard of the breakup with her boyfriend and was sure that Nikolas would want to pursue her now. “Yeah I might ask her to come.” He said grinning. Brandon laughed at his playboy brother. “Well I have to go, I’ll see you at school.” Brandon said getting up and heading out the door.

Nikolas got in his black Jaguar and drove to Port Charles High. His father had wanted both of his sons to go to private school but both refused. Stavros was afraid that they would attract too much attention. Brandon being the hair to the Cassadine family, with Nikolas next in line. The royal family did cause a lot of commotion however, especially with them both in sports. Nikolas soccer. Brandon football. Both were also very attractive so there was no stopping the popularity of the two boys.

As he pulled up to the school, Nikolas smiled as he thought of his life. He parked in his Class President parking space and got out. “Hey guys.” He said smiling as he walked up to a group of his friends. “Hey what’s up Nikolas? We still on for tonight?” Lucky asked patting him on the shoulder. Nik smiled over at his good friend Lucky Spencer. “Yeah we’re still on, Brandon said he wants people to get there around 8:00. My father’s out of town but I told him we were having a party and all he said was to make sure we kept the noise low enough to not disturb the neighbors.” Nik said. “Oh man your dad is so cool.” Lucky said. “Yeah your dad’s pretty cool too, too bad he’s gone so much.” Nik said. “Yeah.” Lucky replied. “So tonight at 8:00 then.” Nik said to the group, they all nodded their heads at him before he walked away. “Nikolas!” He heard from behind. He turned around to see Maggie standing behind him. He flashed a smile at her and she blushed. “I heard you were having a party tonight.” She said pushing her blond hair off of her shoulders. Nikolas looked into her blue eyes. “Yes I am.” He said smiling. “Well do you think I can come?” She asked, leaning into him slightly. Nik tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear as he looked at her. “I think I can arrange for an invitation.” Nik said. Maggie smiled brightly. “Well that would be great. I’ll see you tonight then.” She said leaning in a kissing his cheek. Nikolas watched her lovely body as she walked away. “Tonight is going to be perfect.” He said to himself.
