Are We Meant to Be

Chapter 1

Joe Mulligan walked through the halls of West Beverly High not knowing what to think. So far his first week felt like the worst. He kept to himself mostly and didn't want to talk to anyone. The one person he noticed was Kelly Taylor. Kelly was the first one he met. Joseph couldn't believe how beautiful Kelly was. Joe went to his locker and he saw Kelly walking bu with Brandon Walsh. Joe knew that Brandon wrote for the Blaze when he went to the Blaze office to see if he could write for the paper. Kelly stopped when she saw Joe.

" Hey Joe," Kelly said," How is your first week going?"

" Okay I guess," Joe said," I didn't like it when I had to start my senior year at a new school. It's been hard adjusting."

" I know how you feel," Brandon told him," I started here last year. Where are you from again?"

" Ohio," Joe said," I miss my old friends."

" You are making new friends," Kelly said," You want to join us at lunch?"

" Sure," Joe said smiling," I would like that."

" Then we'll see you at lunch," Brandon said," See you later Joe."

Brandon and Kelly walked away and Joe smiled. He felt something for Kelly, something he didn't feel before.

Joe shut his locker and bumped into Dylan.

" I'm sorry," Joe said," I should look where I'm going."

" It's cool man," Dylan told him," You're Joe, right? You started last week."

" Yes," Joe said," Joe Mulligan."

" Dylan McKay," Dylan said shaking his hand," Quite a grip."

" Sorry," Joe said letting go," I do work out."

" So it seems," Dylan said.

Brenda happened to walk up with David and Donna.

" Good morning," Brenda said.

" Morning my heart," Dylan said putting an arm around her," Have you met Joe?"

Brenda smiled," I've seen him around," she said," Brenda Walsh."

Joe smiled," Any relation to Brandon Walsh?" he asked.

" That's her brother," Donna said," Donna Martin and this is David."

David shook Joe's hand," David Silver," he said.

" You run the radio show?" Joe asked.

" As a matter of fact I do," David said," Which is where I need to go."

David kissed Donna's cheek and went to the radio booth.

" You'll get used to it here," Brenda said," I know it must be hard."

" It is," Joe admitted," But I think it will get better in time."

The bell then rang for class. Joe went to his first class smiling.

" This should be a great year," Joe thought," I also think I have found my soul mate and her name is Kelly Taylor."
