{A/N: Hey everyone, sorry I haven't written in a while. Today was my last day of school, so I can write more often now, I am still working on my other fic, but I wanted to start this one since its about summer love. This is basically an intro chapter, and this fic has nothing to do with the movie Grease, I just used the lyrics to that song in the summary because I suck at summaries!}
Disclaimer: I don't own RP, or any of the characters in the fic, except for Marisa.
Ch. 1 : Introduction
"Shit happeneds
People change
things go wrong
but life goes on."
{I changed the quote a little after I uploaded the fic originally, this one goes better with the chapter, it being mainly about changes. :P}

It was the last full day of classes at Ocean Shores High School. Reggie Rocket was sitting in her geometry class, her teacher was going on about how to find the volume of a cylinder as part of a review for the final exam the class would be taking the following Monday. {It's Friday} Reggie looked over at Marisa, one of her closest friends since she had moved to Ocean Shores over a year ago, and rolled her eyes. Marisa laughed a little under her breath, she started mimicking their teacher quietly.
"Miss Fahlburg, is there something you would like to share with the class?"
"No Mrs. Sharpton." Marisa replied with a fake smile.
Marisa is a short girl, just over 5' tall. She's skinny, but not grossly skinny. Her belly button is pierced, as are her ears, twice in each lobe, and once in the cartilage of the left ear. She had dark brown hair, with natural lighter brown highlights. Her eyes are also brown. She was more into team sports then extreme sports. She played on the schools soccer team in the fall, and the lacrosse team in the spring. She did like to surf a lot though, and pretty much anything else in or around the water. She grew up in Florida, and moved to Ocean Shores in the middle of her freshmen year, along with her younger adopted sister Lyndsay, and parents Kathy and Rob.
Both Reggie and Marisa were excited to being juniors next year, finally they would be real upperclassmen, as sophomores, they were still younger then atleast half of the school. Though the two were even more excited about it being summer.
Marisa slouched down in her chair and sighed. Reggie picked up a pen and wrote something in her notebook, she lifted it so Marisa could read what it said.
"I am so done with school."
Marisa smiled and nodded. Reggie closed her book and notebook and put her pen back into her purse. Just then a boy with orangy colored hair stopped in the hall out side of Reggie's class. It was Twister. Twister hadn't changed much over the years, he did grow a few inches, now at about 5'9". He smiled at Reggie then disapeared down the hall. She raised her hand.
"May I go to the bathroom?" She asked once Mrs. Sharpton called on her.
"Go ahead." She answered, slightly annoyed Reggie was leaving during the review.
Reggie walked down the hall. Twister was waiting by the stairs.
He smiled at her again, "I didn't think you'd be able to get out."
Reggie laughed a bit. "Hey, What happened to your cheek?" she asked, noticing a small bruise on Twister's cheek.
"Oh... I walked into a door."
Reggie shook her head, it seems Twister was doing things like that a lot lately. Walking into doors, falling down the stairs, stuff like that. They walked down two flights of stairs to the cafeteria. It was fourth period, and the first lunch was half way over. Reggie and Twister's classes both ate at the third lunch. Otto and Trish ate at the first lunch though. The two found them and sat down. Reggie took the bathroom passes, from her class, and Twister's class and put them into her purse, so none of the teachers around would know they weren't supposed to be there.
"Hey guys!" Trish said, her and Otto were sitting there hand in hand. The two where always holding hands, or in each others arms or something.
Otto and Trish started going out a little after Marisa moved in. Infact, Marisa is the one who got the two together in the first place, she loved playing match maker with her friends.
"Hey." Reggie replied, "are you still coming over tonight for the 'study sleep over' with Marisa?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for anything!"
Reggie was having Trish over to 'study' for finals, though it was most likely, with the three of them together, no studying was actually going to get done.
"Are you going to Sherri's party Saturday night?" Reggie asked.
"Yep, are you? I'm only going because Sam asked me and Otto to," she started to laugh a little "he said he didn't want to be alone there with Sherri's air head friends.
Reggie laughed too.
Sam and Sherri started going out in the eighth grade, in the ninth grade Sherri changed completely, she became little miss popular. At one point she cheated on Sam for this popular guy. They broke up because of it and didn't talk for four months. Then she convinced him that she just made a mistake, a horrible mistake, she cried, and said how wrong she was for hurting him. They started going back out around then, and have been ever since. So far Sherri has kept her promise of being faithful. Sherri really did care for Sam, she was just not a very good person at balancing her priorities. She always got caught up with herself, and the popular crowd, she did hang out with Reggie and her old friends, but not that often. Sam had changed a lot since middle school also, he lost a lot of weight and gained muscle he was also now just about an inch shorter then Twister. He got along with most of Sherri's new friends, as did her old friends with the exception of Marisa. Sherri suspected that something was up between the two of them. Both Sam and Marisa had confided in Reggie and Trish that they liked each other, but Reggie and Trish were sworn to secrecy. If only they knew what the other was feeling. Sam spent a lot of his time with the gang, when he wasn't with Sherri, and was still the goalie for their team, and for the schools team.
Reggie, Otto, Twister, and Trish all talked for a little bit, mostly about how great the summer was going to be. Eventually Reggie announced she really needed to get back to class. Twister said, "Yeah, I better go too," and the they left they way they came.
After third lunch, Marisa and Reggie had history, and gym together, they both had all but one class together. Marisa was in a web design class, while Reggie was in a journalism class. Since it was the last day of school, they cleaned out there gym locker after gym, and with that, they went home.
-----
Marisa turned Reggie's radio on, and started dancing to whatever started playing, she was pretty energetic and hyper. Maybe a little too hyper, and too...peppy. But its better then being depressed. Right?
"Ris, five minutes ago you were complaining about not being able to study tonight now your dancing around." Trish asked, sorta annoyed, it was after all three AM. The girls had been watching movies, eating ice cream, and making prank phone calls, when just as they were about to go to bed, Marisa says its time to study.
"I am! this is how I get ready!" She turned the music off and giggled, she grabbed her books off Reggie's floor and went out onto her balcony.
Trish and Reggie followed Marisa sleepily.
"Okay guys quiz me!" Marisa said, almost to enthusiastically.
"Do we really have to do this now?" Reggie asked.
"Come on guys! It's so beautiful out here, with the stars and all. Take a deep breath and smell that great summer night air!"
Trish took a deep breath in and pretended to cough, "All I smell is that great, pollution! I'm going to bed."
"Me too," Reggie said and went back inside.
Marisa stayed outside for about an hour, only looking at her book twice. When she got back in, the girls were alseep on the floor.

{A/N: What a weird place to leave off -- it's not a cliffhanger! So not like me. Oh well, its 2AM here and I need to sleep myself!}
