"Introduction"

The sun streamed into 16 year old Audrey Scott's bedroom. She was the only daughter of Keith Scott, but was not the least bit lonely. Karen and Lucas had always treated her and her father like part of the family, and had always considered Lucas as her brother. She had never known her mother, but heard she was beautiful. In fact, she had always been told she had her long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a tall, slim figure.

Audrey leapt gracefully from her bed a sidled to her armoire. She carefully chose a pink turtleneck sweater and tight low-rise jeans. She jumped to her vanity and brushed her hair and applied her makeup. She twirled out of her room.

"I know you're a ballerina, but does everything you do have to be a dance move?" Her father Keith laughed.

"I am very serious about my art!" She exclaimed. Keith laughed again, and handed her a piece of toast and her bookbag. She took them and gave her father a kiss.

"Bye Dad!" She said, going out the door. "I'll see you at the auto shop later!" With that, she turned and walked down the stairs of her apartment building, to the parking lot, and into their pick-up truck.

Audrey pulled up to Karen and Lucas's house at 7:45. She honked, because she was a little late, and Lucas came running out of the house. He got into the passenger's side of her Keith's Body Shop pick up and slammed the door.

"You're late." He said smiling. Audrey punched him in his left shoulder.

"I don't think YOU are in a place to judge my punctuality Luke!" She pulled away towards the school laughing with her cousin. She drove into the school parking lot, stopped the car, and got out. She and Lucas walked into the school together, chatting cheerfully. Haley walked up to the pair shortly after.

"Hey Luke. Aud."

"Hey Hales." They responded simultaneously. Haley and Lucas started talking, but Audrey was looking for someone. Suddenly, he turned the corner.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go. Catch you later." She waved and briskly walked towards Jake Jagelski.

"Jake!" She called out. He turned around, and when he saw her, he smiled.

"Audi!" He said, hugging her. Audrey scoffed.

"Don't call me that, you make me sound like a car." Jake laughed as the two started walking towards their first class.

"So…" Jake said, putting his hands in his pockets. "I was thinking we could go check out that new fast food place." He suggested. Audrey looked at him strangely.

"Jagelski, are you askin' me out?" She smiled. Jake looked worried for a second, but laughed it off.

"Uh...no, I mean, were just friends now, right?" Audrey smiled weakly.

"Right." That should be it! I can't fall for Jake again… "But sure, sounds like fun." Jake smiled.

"Good! Mom's watchin' Jenny tonight, so I am totally free." Audrey and Jake continued to talk as they walked into first hour. They sat down as the river court boys walked in.

"Hey guys!" Audrey said, and they all smiled and said hello. Jake greeted them as well, but they glared at him. Audrey rolled her eyes.

"Guys," She said, leaning in. "Jake and I, we're cool now. We're friends." They all scoffed.

"Whatever." Said Mouth and Skills.
