Title: First Real Love
Disclaimer: I do not own CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Anthony E. Zuiker and CBS do.
Author's Note: Complete AU. What if Catherine and Nick are the same age and had met in high school? Did my research and randomly picked a high school. Will probably be a fluffy story.
Genre: Romance
Rating: T
Chapter 1: Fateful Meeting
Story starts in September, 1985
Most high school loves are short lived; with only rare times do it last forever.
Catherine and her sister Nancy had been moving around a lot because of their mother's job; now they were living in Dallas, Texas for the time being.
When Catherine was enrolled at Sunset High School she hoped that she could stay in one school for more than one school year.
A short time later Catherine was looking for her locker she noticed she was already had guys checking her out. Although she loved being friends with the guys she wanted to lay low first and settle into a routine first. However, fate decided to intervene.

Nick Stokes, Sunset High junior and the running back of the varsity team. Life was good except he recently had dumped his ex-girlfriend for cheating on him.
He was at his locker chatting with his best friend since grade school Brandon Callahan when he noticed Brandon had gone from mile a minute to zero in an instant.
"Hey bro what is wrong?" asked Nick.
"Hot chick sighting and she is perfect for you."
"I don't know man, I just broke up with Carolina I don't think I am ready yet."
"Look turn around and check to see, if you still don't want to then that means I get the dibs."
Nick let out a sigh and turned around.
When he saw to where Brandon was pointing he saw her. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Once Brandon noticed the changed look on his buddy's face he knew he knew he made another match.
"Earth to Nick, earth to Nick, are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah I suppose so," replied Nick distractedly.
"Do you know who she is?" asked Nick still watching the girl from afar.
"Nah, she is probably new," said Brandon and then continued, "You should go talk to her and help her, she looks lost."
Brandon had barely said the last word and Nick had already made his way over.
"Hey there," began Nick startling Catherine a bit.
When she looked up to see who was talking to her, she saw the most gorgeous brown eyed hunk standing in front her. Her heart skipped a couple of beats when she saw him.
