"Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win"
-Crowded house
Chapter One June 17
Riverwind is the place to be, in Pearl Mississippi. To many people, traveling down the nearby Interstate, it is nothing more than a place to rest. Many Businesses flourish in this part of Pearl including a Movie Theater, Cracker Barrel, and a Baskin Robbins; and on hot southern summer days like these, you need all the ice cream you can get.
"Can I get a double scoop of Vanilla," A short woman with brown hair asked, "Sure," Jeremy replied, he walked over and took a small cone out of it's holder, and went to the Vanilla Ice Cream. The lights in the store reflected in his dark brown hair as he bent over to make the perfect scoop. When he finished with the scoop he walked back and handed the cone to the lady, with a hint of relief in his brown eyes. "Nicole did you ring her up?" Jeremy asked the dark headed Hazel eyed beauty at the register. She nodded her head yes. He smiled as he handed the cone to the lady who then turned to leave.
"God, Is that finally the last one?" Jeremy asked Nicole, "Yeah, I didn't think we'd get them all. When that movie let's out, I think they all want a scoop of Ice cream." Jeremy leaned against the bar, tired from the large amount of customers that just passed through. It was the first time in twenty minutes he stopped and rested, he imagined the other eight people in the store felt the same.
"Jeremy, I don't know what I am going to do." Nicole said to him as he walked over to wipe off the counter. "Well He was a jerk Nicole, forget about him, I am sure your mom will understand." "But Jeremy, my mom really liked Aaron." Jeremy thought a moment, "Does your mom know?" Nicole looked at him startled, and nearly screamed "No, Why would I tell her that?" "She likes him Nicole, he did give you a black eye, and I personally think you should tell her, before I hurt that jerk!" Jeremy said defensively, "Your right" Nicole responded, "But I don't see what the matter is anyway, I am not in love with him and I am not with him any more. Not to mention I like someone else." Jeremy was taken back by this piece of Information, "Who?" He asked, "Like I'd ever tell," Nicole responded with a laugh. "I know," Jeremy said with a smile, "Daniel Huntings" Nicole laughed, "Looks like the Ice Cream has done gone to your head. "Uh-oh," Nicole said, "Another movie just got out." "Back to Work" Jeremy replied.
