This has been bugging me for a while and I finally decided to get my scrambled thoughts onto paper, and OMG it became a new fic. It's a new twist on the WHOLE story, what if it was Marissa who moved to Chino instead of Ryan moving to Newport. I do not own anything that is Josh's privilege.
All her life Marissa Cooper seemed to have it all, the picture perfect life that everyone wanted, she was blessed with gorgeous looks, the perfect boyfriend, popularity, and of course the happy family. The Coopers were one of the richest and powerful families in Newport Beach. Or at least they were until her father, a stockbroker, was discovered to have stolen money. No less it was at the Debutante Ball where she was supposed to be presented to Newport, although it didn't go that way.
Marissa, wanting to escape the embarrassment, went on the summer trip to Tijuana with her boyfriend, Luke Ward, and her best friend, Holly Fisher. She didn't feel like going at first but caught up with them later. Much to her dismay when she found them they were heating up the dance floor.
Needing another escape she overdosed on painkillers and Tequila. She awoke in Newport Hospital with her mother shouting orders as usual and her father just glad she was ok. At first she thought everything would go back to normal, but after she recovered they told her they were divorcing. Since her mother didn't want the responsibility of a troubled teen she gave her the option of an institution or living with her dad in Chino. She chose Chino. The one place she never thought she would call home. She always thought she was too good for a place like that but for now it would have to work.
Her picture perfect life was shattered into a million pieces, no longer existing. She had started to wonder if it ever did.
So here she was the once perfect Marissa Cooper of Newport High was now broken and the new kid of Chino High. She covered her eyes from the suns glare as she glanced around at the new faces. A pair of blue, mysterious, eyes met her gaze. A teenage boy with dirty blonde, ragged, hair was connected to the eyes. They shared a small smile when the bell rang and he became lost in the crowd. She sighed looking up once again at the banner waving in the wind 'Welcome to Chino High' as she started up the stairs to begin a new chapter in her life.
I know it was short but the chapters will get longer………hopefully. Now that you have read REVIEW they are much appreciated even if they are criticism. If you have any ideas about the story please feel free to give them.
