WELCOME TO RICHMOND HIGH

Chapter One

The bell rung for homeroom and Danny Messer and Don Flack slammed shut their lockers and trudged into class. Another week at school had just begun and neither was particularly looking forward to it.

For Danny, school was easy. He had a 4.0 GPA as well as being leadoff hitter for the high school baseball team. He was popular, mixing with every social group, but kept a few friends close. He knew who his real friends where; Don, Mac, Stella, Sheldon, and he were tight knit despite their obvious differences. Danny knew he had no reason to dislike school so much, most other kids in his class would kill to be in his shoes, but most days Danny simply couldn't be bothered.

Don didn't like school because of the work he was forced to do. He enjoyed the baseball he got to play and he had plenty of friends but Don knew he wasn't as smart as his closest friends. He wasn't taking AP classes like his girlfriend Aiden and he wasn't taking senior classes like Sheldon. He was just doing the bare minimum so he could get his diploma and get out of there.

As the two took their seats in the corner of the room with their friends Mrs McKay, their homeroom teacher, began to call the register.

"Anderton."

"Here Miss McKay." Called a scrawny, ginger kid from the front row.

"Bonasera."

"Yes miss." Stella replied, before turning back to her conversation with Mac.

"Burns."

"Present." Aiden broke her kiss with Don to respond.

"Daniels."

"You know it Mrs M." replied a cocky blonde guy from the other side of the room.

"Flack."

"Yes miss" Don replied, turning his attention quickly back to showering Aiden with attention.

"Garner."

"Present." Called a preppy brunette.

"Hawkes."

"Here miss" Sheldon replied in his smooth voice.

"Johnson."

"Yes miss" A bulky football player grunted from the back of the room.

"Laxton."

"Present." Squeaked the cheerleader who was fawning over him.

"Messer."

"Here Miss McKay." Danny replied in his thick New York accent.

"Monroe." When no reply came, Mrs McKay looked up from her register and scanned the room. "Monroe?"

"Marilyn's been dead a few decades, miss." Said the cocky blonde guy to a chorus of laughter from his classmates.

"No, Lindsay. Lindsay Monroe." Mrs McKay confirmed, glancing around the room once again.

"I'm here miss." Said a petite brunette as she entered the room and made her way to an empty seat. "Sorry I'm late, Miss McKay. I couldn't find the room."

"That's ok, dear. It's your first day." Replied Mrs McKay. "And I'm sure everyone will go out of their way to make you feel welcome here at Richmond High. You're from Montana, correct?"

"Yes miss, Bozeman." Lindsay blushed as some of the class sniggered at her country roots.

"Very good, dear." Miss McKay muttered as she continued to call names. Danny however didn't notice. He was transfixed by the by the new girl who sat alone a few rows in front of him.

She was beautiful, but not in an obvious way. It was a subtle beauty that radiated from her. The baby pink sweater she wore complemented her lightly tanned skin perfectly and her mousey brown curls framed her face giving her an aura of sophistication which Danny found instantly irresistible.

Danny smiled goofily and blushed slightly as Lindsay glanced around and caught him staring at her. She smiled cautiously back, not knowing whether or not he was just messing with the new girl or not.

"Danny, don't you know it's rude to stare?" asked Flack. His best friend intuition told him that Danny, a noted lady's man, had found his next conquest.

"Yeh, never seen a hick before?" laughed Aiden. Danny shot her a look.

"Don't go makin' fun of people ya don't even know, Aiden. Leave that to the cheerleaders." Danny fired back. He wished he could have taken a picture of Aiden's face because it was priceless. Anyone would have guessed she'd just been slapped. She mumbled her apologies as the bell sounded the beginning of first class.

Mac and Stella headed to Algebra with Sheldon, who was taking a few senior classes even though he was still a junior. Aiden went to AP English Lit and Flack set off for biology. Danny on the other hand, tried to catch-up with the new girl.

He scanned the corridors quickly upon leaving homeroom and caught a glimpse of a head of mousey brown curls as it turned a corner. Danny quickly weaved through the crowded corridor, ignoring the cheerleaders who were waving to him from by their lockers. As he turned the corner he found a corridor of people emptying into nearby classrooms but no sign of the girl from Montana. Danny sighed.

I gotta find her soon he thought before heading off to find Flack in Biology.
