~*~*~*~please note: I'm not sure about the title (of the story). If anyone
has suggestions, put them in a review ok? Thank you
~*~*~*~Disclaimer~*~*~*~ I don't own anything from A Walk to Remember. I own the storyline I think. LoL. Some of it comes from my real life and some comes from what Jamie and Landon might do on their own. So this is my story:
~*~*~*~Summary~*~*~*~ Have you ever wondered what Jamie and Landon were like before their senior year? This is how I envision it. Starting with a brief description of first meeting, this story mostly takes place when they are 14 and in 8th grade. You know (and I just thought of this) this is before Jamie gets diagnosed with cancer and probably won't go all the way to that point (because I'm taking a lot of this from my own like [my friend being Landon and me being Jamie] and I'm only 14 and in 8th grade and so is he). This is also AU by the way, Jamie's mother isn't dead. I am, however, going to leave Landon's parents divorced.
Chapter 1 First Grade
Jamie's First Day
Even after you've survived both pre-school and kindergarten, the first say of first grade is unlike the others. It's the first time you're in school all day with no snack, just a milk break; no nap time, just recess; and no show and tell except for showing your teacher your homework.
7 year old Jamie Sullivan was ready for school by 7 AM. Even though school started at ten to nine. Ok, so she wasn't really ready, her shoes were on the wrong feet and her denim jumper was inside out. When Elizabeth Sullivan came down the stairs and saw her daughter asleep against the door frame looking as she did, it was all Beth could do to keep the laugh in.
Finally, at 8:30, everyone was ready. Pictures had been taken and the shoes had been fixed. Jamie was so excited she couldn't sit still.
In Miss Brian's classroom the desks were set in tables of six with name tags on them. Jamie came in and found her seat quickly. Across from her was her best friend, Christine Moore, and next to her was Landon Carter, a boy from her kindergarten class she didn't know very well.
The day went by fast, too fast for Jamie's liking. Afterward, Chris came over to play while her mother was at work. Lying in bed later that night, Jamie thought about her day and all the friends she would make that year. "And," thought Jamie, "I should become friends with Landon since I'll be sitting next to him all year."
Landon's First Day
Landon Carter wasn't looking forward to the first day of school. Summer had gone by too fast and now there would be no more time for fun.
Cynthia Carter came in to wake him up at 8:00. For 10 minutes she fought with Landon to get up. Eventually, he did. But not very happily.
At school he was in Miss Brian's class. She had names tags on their desks. He found his seat near the front of the room and looked around him. His only friend in the class, Eric Hunter, was across the room. To his right, though, was Jamie Sullivan. "Well, I guess this won't be too bad. She's nice to me," Landon thought.
Finally, it was time to go home. Landon and Eric played catch for a while and then both went home for dinner. At 8:30 Landon went to bed and fell asleep almost instantly, but not before deciding that Jamie was nice to sit by.
