Okay, so this story starts a couple years before the show was set. It will skip up to when Loren's eighteen and Eddie's twenty-two eventually, I promise! :)

There are some parts from the original show that might be similar but maybe not exactly the same.
And guys... I love Leddie, but they won't be happening for a while, if they even happen at all? Guess you guys will have to keep reading to find out, haha :)
The first few chapters might just be about Eddie and Loren and then maybe later on I'll add other people's perspectives? I don't really know..

So this is my first fan-fiction so let me know what you think and if I should continue :)
Jk I'll probably continue it anyways cause I love to write!

Please review/ pm me telling me what you think! :)

Sixteen year old Loren Tate smiled to herself as she replayed the day in her head. As she sat down in her secret spot overlooking L.A, she still couldn't believe it. The Justin Collins had finally, finally asked her out. Her, simple old Loren Tate. After years of dreaming of going out with him. She was so giddy, she couldn't stop the smile that escaped her lips. She couldn't stop replaying that part of her day in her head.

The last bell had just rung and she was at her locker getting her books. Her best friend, Melissa Sanders, was blabbering in her ear about something, as usual. She looked up to roll her eyes at her friend when she saw Justin.

"Ohmigod Mel, he is so cute!" she exclaimed.

"Who? Oh, I know right!" Mel replied as she turned around to look at who had caught her best friends eye, "I just wanna-"

"Mel! Please don't go there. I really don't wanna know whatever dirty thoughts you're having right now," Loren told her as she continued packing her books.

"...fine! But seriously that boy is hot. Like smokin' hot," Mel said, "Oh my god, Lo!"

"What, what is it?" Loren asked.

"He's coming over here! Justin! Justin Collins! He's walking over here, right now! Oh wow, the closer he gets, the finer he looks girl," Mel announced.

"No way! How do I look? What am I gonna say? Mel!"

"Well, looks like you've got five seconds to figure it out because he is right behind you," Mel let out a laugh.

"Hey Loren," she heard Justin say behind her.

Loren slowly turned around to face the guy she'd been fawning over for years now. "Uh hi Justin," she uttered, "How's it going?" Oh god, I hope I can get through this conversation without saying something totally stupid, Loren thought to herself.

"It's good," Justin smiled that brilliant smile she loved so much, "So... Look, there's something I really wanted to ask you..."

"Yeah?"

"I heard you're a really big Eddie Duran fan and he has a new movie coming out next week," he started shyly, "Do you wanna go see it with me?"

Loren froze. Did she hear him right? Did he say what she thought he said? "What?" she blurted before she could stop herself.

"Is that a no?" he asked looking disappointed.

"No, no that's a yes! I'm sure it is, she's just a little shocked," Melissa jumped in.

Justin chuckled, "Loren?"

"Yeah? Oh what, yeah! Sure, I would love to. Wait you're serious... right?" she wondered out loud.

"Yes, I'm serious," Justin answered with a laugh, "How about next Friday? Would that work for you?"

"Yeah, that sounds good," she managed to respond.

"Alright, cool. See you then, Loren," he flashed a smile before walking away.

"Oh my god, Lo! He just asked you out! Justin just asked you to go on a date with him to an Eddie Duran movie!" Mel exclaimed.

"Did that really just happen?" Loren asked, stunned.

"Yes!"

"Oh my god, I'm going on a date with Justin Collins!" she squeaked.

Even now, thinking back to that special moment she still couldn't believe it. She had known Justin for years now and they had spoken before. They were friends, kind of. They talked every once in a while in class when they were partnered up. But that was about it. She always felt flustered around him, that was nothing new.

Loren smiled again. In exactly one week, she was going to see her idol with her long term crush. Things were definitely going well for her. That was a change. She looked out at the view in front of her. The sun was starting to set and L.A really did look beautiful. Suddenly, she got an idea. She pulled out her song book and eagerly started scribbling lyrics onto it.

Little did she know that there was someone watching her from a distance. He didn't mean to be a creeper, he just wanted to go up to his spot to clear his head before his big night. Even from this distance, twenty year old Eddie Duran could tell that this girl was beautiful. It wasn't the exotic kind of beauty, it was an innocent kind. Like she didn't know just how beautiful was. He watched her quietly. Her smile was cute. Adorable, actually. Then he saw her pull out this little book with papers sticking out and start writing in it. He liked the way she stopped every few seconds to examine what she had written so far. He was curious as to what was in the book.

He heard her phone ring, and she picked it up with a smile. When she finished the conversation, she put the book away and started heading back towards the bottom of the hill. Eddie quickly ducked down, careful to avoid being seen. He didn't really know how he would explain why he was hiding in a bush like a stalker. He heard a car engine come to life, and slowly fade away. He waited a couple more seconds.

When he was sure she had left, he walked up to the spot near the tree and noticed a piece of paper at his feet. He bent down to see what was on it. Eddie was astonished. These lyrics are really good, really really good he thought to himself. This mystery girl had some talent. He knew that he had to tell his Mom and Dad and he couldn't wait to do just that.

Alrighty guys, that's my first chapter :) Please review and let me know what you think! :)
