Main Characters: Robbie and Roxanne
Disclaimer: I don't own 7th Heaven, Robbie, or Roxanne. But I do own their friends, teachers, and school.
AN: I'm not really sure where Robbie and Roxanne were originally from, so I'm saying they live in a small town called Oakdale, located in New Jersey.
Chapter 1: A Tale Of Two Social WorldsTwelve-year-old Roxanne Richardson looked at her reflection in her compact mirror. She was perfect. Perfect hair, skin, teeth, and just plain perfect looking. Everything about her was perfect.
She was probably the prettiest girl in the 7th grade. With her long, slinky, golden blonde hair, which fell a little past her shoulders. And matching silky bangs, which made her look even cuter to the boys, every boy seemed to always be looking at her. She also had sparking, sky blue-ish eyes that always seemed to twinkle. She also had that perfect, blemish free, peachy complexion on her face and skin.
She also liked to wear the latest styles of clothes. She was now wearing a light pink shorted-sleeved shirt, with light blue denim jeans, pink and white sneakers, pink jewel earrings, a small gold ring with a pink jewel that her mother gave her, and a pink and white watch on her right arm.
She smiled at her reflection in the mirror, revealing her perfect white teeth. She then closed the compact up and placed it into her pink purse. She then turned to her usual group of friends. She was in what was called the "popular crowd". Her friends included Kelly, Rachel, Leslie, Marie, Lynn, and Emily.
"Oh my God, Roxanne, I love the ring you're wearing!" Rachel said, motioning to Roxanne's gold ring.
"Thanks, my mom gave it to me for my 11th birthday last year, four months before she died," Roxanne replied sadly.
"Oh, um, cool," Rachel said quickly, knowing that Roxanne didn't like talking her mother's death.
"So, is anyone going to see that new romance sop movie that is coming out this weekend, cause I'm going?" Kelly asked.
"Nah, romance ain't my thing," Marie said. She wasn't into movies like that; she preferred horror movies.
"I guess so, I've got nothing better to do. I haven't really had any weekend plans since Landon and I broke up," Leslie said sadly, she missed having a boyfriend.
"I can't I've gotta baby-sit Paul and James this weekend," Emily said gloomily, she hated babysitting her two little three-year-old twin brothers.
"I can't make it either, I have to go visit my grandmother this weekend," Lynn said.
"I'm there," Rachel said.
"I don't see why not," Roxanne said.
"Ok, so Les, Rox, and Rach, you guys are going?" Kelly asked; the three nodded in response. "And Lynn, Em, and Marie aren't coming, ok."
The bell for study hall rang. It was enrichment, where all the two 7th grades met in one classroom, Mrs. Handler's room, she was one of the homeroom teachers, Mrs. Murphy was another. Kelly, Leslie, Marie, and Lynn were in Mrs. Handler's homeroom. Roxanne, Rachel, and Emily were in Mrs. Murphy's homeroom.
Mrs. Murphy's homeroom quickly left Mrs. Handler's homeroom. Roxanne and her friends all said their goodbyes, promising they'd sit together at lunch. Roxanne, Rachel, and Emily headed towards their own homeroom.
"Robert Palmer, I'll make sure you get detention until you graduate if you pull a stunt like that again!" Roxanne heard Mrs. Murphy yell.
Robert Palmer, everyone called him Robbie for short. He was the resident "bad boy", always picking fights, saying sass mouth stuff to everyone, arguing with teachers, getting detention, and getting sent to the principal's office about everyday. He was a rebel, a hot wire, a lose cannon, and trouble. Big time trouble, Roxanne and her friends tried to avoid him.
He ran down the hallway, stopping at the site of Roxanne and her two friends. He turned around and shot them a look. He wasn't bad looking. He was a sort of fair skinned, with a slight tan, dark brown, almost black hair, and dark brown eyes. He wore a black sweatshirt, with some kind of red writing on it over a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers.
"Well, well. If it isn't Princess Richardson, and her two henchmen, boss any lowlife peasants around lately," Robbie laughed at his joke.
Roxanne stepped forward s and got right in Robbie's face and glared at him, "Robbie, just give it up. We're not amused. You aren't funny."
"Whatever you say, your majesty," Robbie replied mockingly.
"You're really not funny!" Roxanne yelled.
"Sure, say what you want. But you know, somewhere down in that frozen heart of ice of yours, you love me," Robbie replied, grinned, and strolled into Mrs. Murphy's homeroom.
Roxanne and her two friends followed his path into the room. They sat down in three desks in the back. They started passing notes to each other, since talking in study hall was not allowed.
Rachel passed Roxanne a note:
Can you believe what a total jerk Robbie is?
Roxanne wrote a response and passed it back to her:
I know, really.
Rachel read the response and nodded. They went on passing notes.
Robbie sat at his desk, keeping quiet. He had been in enough trouble with Mrs. Murphy. One more wrong move, and she'd probably kill him. His best friend, Jimmy, tapped him on the shoulder.
"What?" Robbie whispered.
"Do you like Roxanne Richardson?" Jimmy asked him.
"You mean Princess Richardson?" Robbie asked in reply.
"Yeah her," Jimmy responded.
"Well..." Robbie started to say, but Mrs. Murphy cut him off.
"Mr. Palmer, Mr. Kedge, you know the rules, no talking during study hall!" Mrs. Murphy snapped at them.
"Yes Mrs. Murphy." The two boys replied.
Rachel quickly scribbled another note to Roxanne:
Is it me, or is he always in trouble?
Roxanne wrote a reply:
He's always in trouble.
Rachel nodded to show she agreed. Emily looked at them. Rachel handed her the note, she too nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, back at his desk, Robbie dared not to tell Jimmy if he liked Roxanne or not. Mrs. Murphy would execute them if they said anything else. The truth was, he liked Roxanne, a lot. But he had no chance with her. She was popular, and he was a bad boy. He knew Roxanne thought he was a total jerk, that's what he wanted her to think, so she had no idea that he secretly fantasized about making out with her...
