First fanfic. Please excuse if not all the details are EXACT to the movie. The general gist of it is still there though. I'm basing the story on an OC character and her new interest, Adam Banks. HE IS SO CUTE! dodges tomatoes OK ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 1: a new year

Michelle woke up early on the first day of school at Eden Hall; her sophomore year. School had always been a drag for her and she hated the fact that almost every single student was rich and preppy-like. Mindless drones, she called them. She was only at school because of a scholarship given to her for three years. Her 4th year at Eden Hall was undetermined, so she had to keep up her grades. Straight A's were expected of her, and A-'s were frowned upon since an A- was so close to a B and B's were Bad.

She is half Asian and half British.. Her father decided not to join his family's business firm in England, so he left his home to pursue other things.

She arrived at school exactly at 8:15 a.m. like she did every other morning. Her mother forced her to be punctual and all that jazz. That morning, all the students were to be seated in the auditorium for a "special" beginning-of-the-year speech.

"Just great", Michelle thought, "Maybe I'll sit in the back so I can sleep".

Five minutes later, the rest of the students pile in and seat themselves in the audience. The Dean begins his welcoming speech and his jibber jabber about the hockey time and how they'll 'do us proud' and all that other crap.

MEANWHILE OUTSIDE...

"Come on guys! This way, this way!" yelled Charlie.

"And now, I'd like to introduce you to a gifted bunch of athletes..."

CRASH THE DRAPES GET TORN DOWN

Laughter is heard throughout the room. Half of the Ducks are on the stage looking as helpless as ever.

"Hi... we're the Ducks..." Charlie stated weakly.

Michelle jumped out of her seat from all the commotion and put on her glasses. She focused her attention to the guys and... "was that a girl?" she thought.. CONNIE!!!!! Connie was Michelle's best friend when they were in grade school together, but they haven't spoken to each other since the 5th grade. She quickly skimmed through the faces of the boys on the stage and her eyes landed on the blonde one at the end of the huddle.

"He's so cute", she thought, "Wait... what am I saying? He's like every other jerk at this damn school... dressed like a cake-eater and everything".

------------------Michelle's POV --------------------------------

What a waste of time! Every year! The same shit over and over and over and over again

I swore a great deal even though mom warned me never to do it in public. The more my parents tell me not to do things, the more I felt like doing them... sometimes.

I was walking to first period and I kept quickening my pace so I wouldn't be late. Everyone was rushing out of the assembly and they're all so much bigger than me. Ok! So I'm 5'4" but all these other girls are all so tall and skinny and beautiful and cheerleader material and yadda yadda yadda. I hate them... but I'm happy the way I am...

I didn't watch where I was going and I walked smack right into someone... a very strong someone... Quickly glancing up, I saw the same blond-haired boy who was on stage.

"Oh... umm... sorry... are you ok?" he asked me.

"Umm... I...y...yeah... just dandy..." I replied looking into his baby blue eyes for the first time. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! I'm acting like I'm gah-gah for him. This is insane!

He chuckled and bent down to retrieve my binder and a few books I dropped.

"Oh ...thanks... I...uhh... I can get those," I mumbled softly.

"No prob. Oh, um, I'm A...." he got interrupted by a loud squeal.

"MICHELLE!!!!!! AHHHHH!" Connie yelled a few feet away. She ran up to me and gave me a bone-crushing hug.

"..Can't...breathe...CONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled. Connie let go of me and had a big smile plastered on her face.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GO TO EDEN TOO! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER! HOW ARE YOU? WOW, YOUR HAIR GREW LONGER! HEY, I'M TALLER THAN YOU NOW. AH! HEY, WE CAN SHARE A DORM, I THINK, AND MAYBE..." she said excitedly. She was about to continue when Guy, her boyfriend, came around the corner and tried to calm her down.

"Connie...Connie... BREATHE..." soothed Guy, "Oh hi, I'm Guy". When he said this Connie had a loving look on her face and she smiled.

"Oh, you must be... Connie's boyfriend. Yeah, I can tell," I stated plainly.

The couple just noticed that Adam was still standing there and they quickly gave him a little shove forward towards me.

"Michelle, THIS is Adam. Adam Banks," one of them said. I was mesmerized by his gaze so I practically blocked out all sound.

"Yeah, we've met. Nice to, umm, meet you again". Adam extended a hand and I slowly shook it.

SNAP OUT OF IT!

"Hi, I'm Michelle. Walker. Michelle Walker". I smiled slightly while still shaking his hand.

"Uh, guys, class is starting". Connie interrupted "the moment".

Adam and I finally released our hands from one another. THAT WAS ONE FREAKIN' LONG HANDSHAKE

"I guess, I'll....see you later... Michelle?" Adam looked at me and I nearly melted from his innocent and adorable face.

"Maybe", I said seductively and smirked. He gave a playful smile and walked away.

WAH? Did I just do that? Me? Michelle? Smirk? Did that just sound seductive? Oh dear...

"Hey lover girl, let's go! Let's go!" Connie pulled me roughly by the arm to first period.

"Ouch...hey...ok! Ok!" Before letting her drag me away, I gave one last look down the hall.

This isn't a cliff-hanger. No worries! Mm... I pretty much have the story line set in so I just need time to write. Part 2 will be out later today. I think
