Chapter 1
Not bad! He brushed his hair from his face as he checked himself out in the mirror. He had blond hair which fell into his crystal blue eyes. Jack Dawson was 17 years old and had just moved to Los Angeles from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. His parents had just divorced after his mother caught his father playing away. Jack decided to move with his mom when she decided she couldn't stay in their hometown. His father had moved in with the woman he had cheated with and his mom knew she couldn't watch them flaunt themselves around town. Jack was due to start his senior year after the summer so figured it was best to move before school was due to start. He pulled his shirt off and walked towards his bathroom. Jack was slim but well built. He enjoyed working out so had well defined muscles on his stomach and arms. Jack had never been short of admirers at his old school and had had his fair share or girlfriends. Nothing majorly serious but they passed the time. Jack couldn't take some of those girls seriously though. They were superficial, only interested in their looks, how much they weighed, who they were seen with. Jack had no patience for it. He wanted someone serious, someone who understood him, who got him.
Luckily, his mom had done quite well from the divorce so when they moved, they had managed to buy a nice 3 bedroom house in one of the more up market areas of L.A. Jack had finally got his room organised when his mother shouted up to him.
"Jack, I'm just going to the store to get some groceries. Do you want to come?"
Jack looked over at the clock. It was almost 6. "No mom, I'll just stay here." He shouted back to her.
"Ok, I'll be back in a couple of hours." Jack heard the door shut and he walked over to the window. Looking outside he saw his mom pull away in the car and drive down the street. He was about to walk away when something caught his eye. He looked again at the flash of red across the street. Jack sat on his bed staring out to the house directly across from him. The girl was breathtaking. She had gorgeous fiery red hair that cascaded down her back in loose curls. She was dressed in white shorts and a peach coloured shirt. She had over sized sunglasses on so Jack couldn't really see her face but he was utterly mesmerised by her. She almost glided down the path towards the Mercedes convertible sitting in the drive. Jack couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked about his age so he wondered if she would be in his class at school. The girl opened the car door and sat inside. Jack kept staring at her as he watched her reverse out the drive and pull off down the street.
I'm gonna have to meet her! He thought to himself. Suddenly he could wait until school started.
A/N – apologies for the previous short chapter, I just wanted to get a feel for this story to decide whether I was gonna keep writing it.
