A/N: I know you guys are probably bored of "girl joins the group" stories; but I noticed there's no Teddy/OC ones and I reeeeally love Teddy and wanted to try it out :3 so please review and tell me if you think it's horrible ;D

I rolled the window down all the way and stuck my head out, grinning I looked up at the sky as the wind whipped my hair back. I laughed softly as the warm Oregon sun shone down on me. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my grey t shirt and pulled me back into the car. "You're so crazy Leslie," my older brother Matt said shaking his head.

I sighed "chill Matt." I mumbled and leaned forward in my seat, "Dad we nearly there?" I asked for about the fifth time in ten minutes.

Dad rolled his eyes (for the fifth time), "Yeah Les, you missed the sign cause your head was stuck out the window.

Matt chuckled beside me and I elbowed him in the side, "Shut up Matt you're just jealous cause I'm awesome," I said with the wave of my hand.

Matt laughed "HA! Me being jealous of you?" he shook his head laughing still.

I rolled my eyes, "Fag.."

"Hey!" my dad yelled shaking his head, "Leslie don't say that word," he said sternly then his tone softened, "Here we are," he said pulling into the driveway of our new home.

I grinned and jumped across Matt and out the door. He sighed at my use of his door instead of my own.

Ignoring the fact that my bags were in the trunk I ran into the house and straight up the stairs to find my new room. After five long minutes of debating which of the three rooms I wanted while my dad and Matt unloaded bags, I chose my perfect room. It was quite spacious with a full length window and a beautiful view of the new small town. This place was great, I loved the ideas of small towns forever now. In my old school, kid's didn't really like me. They thought I was weird and a little crazy.. Pfft whatever their idea of crazy was..

I walked downstairs grinning to myself having finally finished unpacking everything. Walking into the kitchen to find my dad cooking some dinner I smiled and walked over to him and hugged him tight, "This place is perfect. Thanks dad!" I said grinning wildly. "I'm gonna go check out the neighbourhood."

My dad nodded smiling also, "ok but be back for dinner at around six ok?"

I looked up at the clock, it read four thirty, "Sure dad," I smiled and kissed his cheek then ran out of the kitchen and out of the house.

Castle Rock really was a tiny town, it took me at least fifteen/twenty minutes to see the whole place. Finally I walked into a small shop and grabbed a bottle of coke and paid the 25c charge and walked out of the shop, a few seconds later I heard someone call out to me. Well it had to be me, no one else was on the street. I turned around and saw a scrawny looking boy running toward me. He smiled when he caught up with me, "Hi." he said his eyes sparkling, "I'm Gordie. Are you new?"

I nodded smiling in the hope of making new friends who won't think I'm weird and crazy, "Yup. Moved her about two hours ago. I'm Leslie"

"Nice to meet you. I'm about to go meet my friends at our tree house, wanna come?" he asked.

Yay there's more of him, "Sure," I agreed and we set off, on the way to the tree house Gordie and I chatted about ourselves, telling each other about our hometowns and our friends.. Well.. His friends.

Eventually we reached a large tree house just outside someones home, I wondered if it was Gordie's or maybe one of the other kids, I didn't ask though since I was so excited about meeting these new kids. Gordie climbed up into the tree house before me and I followed soon after, the first thing I noticed was the smell of smoke, I smiled - I was gonna like this place. Gordie introduced me to two other boys, Chris and Teddy. They were playing cards and smoking. They both smiled and introduced themselves. At first Teddy made a remark about no girls but when we started talking properly he seemed to take a shine for me. I had to admit, these guys were pretty cool.

"Hey, how do you know if a Frenchman has been in your backyard?" Chris asked beginning a joke.

I smiled and listened waiting for the punch line.

"Hey I'm French okay?" Teddy said.

"Your garbage cans are empty and your dog's pregnant." Chris and Gordie erupted in a fit of laughter.

I blinked not really getting the joke and glancing at Teddy who I was currently sitting beside secretly helping him with cheating in cards.

"Didn't I just say I was French?" Teddy said taking another drag of his smoke.

I grinned shaking my head, "Cette plaisanterie a sucé" I said in perfect French. The two boys stared at me and Teddy grinned and laughed a high pitched laugh, maybe he was French after all.

"What did you say?" Gordie said with an extremely confused look on his face.

"I said, that joke sucked," I said with a grin after high fiving Teddy.

Chris shook his head and smiled, "I knock," he announced.

"What?" You liar," I yelled.

Teddy soon joined in, "you ain't got no pat hand! Don't deal yourself no pat hand!"

"Make your draw shit-heap" said Chris.

We sighed in defeat and Teddy threw the cards on the table.

Suddenly a knock came from underneath our makeshift table. "That's not the secret knock," Gordie announced looking up from his crime magazine.

"I forgot the secret knock, c'mon guys let me in," a boys voice came from outside the tree house.

Gordie, Teddy and Chris all looked at each other and said in unison, "Vern." and then Gordie opened the door and let in a short, chubby guy. I smiled at him as he tried to catch his breath, the boy (Vern) looked up and frowned once he saw me, "Who's this?" he asked.

"I'm Leslie," I said with a smile.

Vern nodded, still outta breath and turned to the others, "Give me a second… I ran all the way from my house."

Chris smirked, "I ran all the way home," he sang Teddy and Gordie joining in quickly. I smiled.

Vern sighed, "Guys this is important!"

Chris quieted the boys and then looked at Vern, "What is it Vern?"

"Ok. I.."

"I RAN ALL THE WAY HOOOME," they sang again grinning.

"Fine .. Screw you guys."

"What are you pissing and moaning about Verno?" asked Teddy gathering up the cards.

"You guys wanna see a dead body?" said Vern.

I stared at them. What the fuck?
