This story is my idea of how Sandy and Kirsten met and they're relationship through collage, I wanted it to be different to everyone else's so I made it that they were younger and the lived in different countries, hope you enjoy, read and review.
Senior Year was over, it was the last day at Harbor and Kirsten Nichol was so glad she was finally leaving Newport, for good. The Nichol on the end of her name meant that she is the daughter of Caleb Nichol the rich, powerful and well the biggest ass in all of Orange County. Caleb practically built Newport and now he owned it and he wanted his daughter to become like him and take over the company. Unfortunately for him Kirsten didn't want to become a real estate mogul and give Newport everything it didn't need, Kirsten had other plans, she wanted to go to collage in Berkeley and start her own business as far away from her father as possible.
Freshman year at Berkeley didn't start for a few months and with all the money that Kirsten could get her hands on was spent on paying for a trip to Australia. After graduation she had planned to take a trip over there before starting collage and that was exactly what her plans were, even though Caleb didn't approve.
"Kirsten Nichol", the teacher called handing her the diploma.
There was a cheer from the parents, teachers and students. Kirsten was the most popular girl at Harbor High and how could she not with her good grades, great looks and loads of money. Being the most popular girl always involves a boyfriend and his name was Jimmy. Kirsten and Jimmy had known each other for a long time seeing that their parents were great friends. Caleb always thought that that Jimmy would be perfect for Kirsten, he had a great future ahead of him with lots of money involved and a great family but Kirsten didn't agree. When they first started dating, yes she loved him but after years of being pushed and forced to be together just wore her out and she had enough of it. The past few weeks had been a bit rocky between them after Kirsten found out that Jimmy was going to propose because Caleb thought it would be a good idea. She wanted an end to her relationship with Jimmy, she wanted to get as far away from Newport as possible and she didn't want to ever be called Caleb Nichol's daughter again.
Graduation had finished and now it was time for family photos, which Kirsten hated seeing that they were far from being a normal, happy family but she went along with it knowing that she wouldn't have to put up with it any longer.
"Smile", Caleb ordered before taking a picture of Kirsten and her mum (Susan).
"Ok now we need one with the two graduates", Susan announced looking around to find where Jimmy was.
Kirsten let out a deep breath, did she really have to be forced into a picture with Jimmy.
Kirsten stood next to Jimmy and placed a fake smile over her face. As soon as the picture was taken Kirsten made up an excuse to get out of there.
"Hold on, we need a picture with everybody", Caleb called out.
The next morning Kirsten was in her room packing the last of her things, even though she hated it here a part of her was still going to miss Newport, that was until her dad walked in and made her doubt it all over again.
"Hey sweetheart", he said entering her bedroom, "have you got everything".
"Yeah I think so", she answered.
"You know Kiki you don't have to go, you can stay here, work for me, one day even own The Newport Group and live the life that you and Jimmy deserve, together".
Kirsten let out a little laugh, she couldn't believe what her dad was saying.
"Dad you're unbelievable, listen I have finished high school and up until now I have done everything that you have ever wanted from me now it's my turn to make my own decisions and live the life that I want not what you want so please trust me, all I want is for you to be proud of me".
There was silence for a while until Caleb finally spoke.
"Ok as long as when you come back from Australia you work things out with Jimmy, I know that some things have been going on between you too".
Kirsten wanted to bite back and tell her father 'what about everything else I said' and tell him that she didn't want to be with Jimmy any more but this was the nicest Caleb could get and she didn't feel like fighting on her first day of freedom and happiness so she decided to deal with all of this when she got back.
"You're right dad, things haven't been going very well between us but when I get back we'll sort it all out I promise".
"That's all I wanted to hear", Caleb said before getting up and leaving.
"Not", Kirsten said when she knew he was gone, 'not' referring to sorting things out with Jimmy.
Kirsten was just about to take her bags downstairs when they're was another knock at her door.
"Who is it", she yelled.
"It's mum".
"Right, come in".
Susan entered with a few tears in her eyes but a smile on her face.
"I can't believe your leaving".
"Mum it's ok, I'm not leaving forever", Kirsten reassured giving her mother a hug.
"Oh my little girl's growing up, I still can't believe you graduated yesterday".
Kirsten sat on her bed followed by her mother.
"Honey you do know that I am so proud of you".
Kirsten smiled at her mum wondering why in the hell her dad couldn't just say that.
"I know, thanks mum", Kirsten said.
"And you're father is too, believe it or not".
Kirsten laughed, "I just wish he could say that".
"Kirsten you know him, it's who he is he's always been like it and he'll probably stay that way".
Kirsten gave her mum another hug before she started to cry.
"I'm going to miss you so much", she said.
"Me too".
They arrived at the airport a few minutes later and Kirsten was really starting to get scared. Leaving Newport, going to a different country all by herself, starting her own life, it was a lot to take in.
"Oh my god, I'm actually really nervous", she said.
"Well it's not too late to change your mind", Caleb announced.
"No dad I'll be fine really it's just, I'm really going to miss you", she said falling into her dads arms.
"Passengers boarding flight 118 please make your way to gate 6, you're flight is now boarding".
"Oh that's mine, I better go", Kirsten said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Yeah we better too, we have a meeting but have a wonderful time", Susan said giving her daughter one last hug.
"Bye", Kirsten said slowly walking away watching her parents wave goodbye.
Kirsten was just about to show her ticket and board the plane when she heard someone call her name in the distance.
"Kirsten wait", they called.
Kirsten knew who it was, after years of knowing this person you could never forget their voice.
"Jimmy, what are you doing here".
"I've come to stop you", he said catching his breath, "And ask you this".
Jimmy got down on his knees and pulled out from his pocket a shiny, very expensive ring.
"Kirsten Nichol, will you marry me", he asked.
"Oh My God", he said shocked, "Jimmy I can't".
"What".
"I don't love you any more, I mean let's face it we were only together because of our parents and you're only doing this because of my dad".
"Kirsten that's not true, I do love you, so what do you say".
"I'm sorry but it's over", she said, "Have a great life Jimmy you deserve it".
