CHARLENE
Ch.1: The "Accident"
Accidents happen for a reason, but an accident is not an accident if you wanted it to happen.
Charlene Turner was a nice girl. Sure, her feelings often made her act a tiny bit mean, but Charlene was oblivious to that.
Charlene Turner was a good girl. Maybe she wasn't completely innocent, but she had always considered herself good.
Charlene Turner wasn't stupid. Yeah, she was blonde. So what? Blonde and pretty, she was still more intelligent than most kids in her classes. Maybe she wasn't Willa-and-Philby smart, but she was not an airhead.
Charlene Turner was a bit boy-crazed, but she could control herself.. most of the time.
Charlene would never truly understand, though, why she liked Finn Whitman so much. Of course, Finn wasn't the only boy she liked. She could get practically any boy, anyway.
Finn was average in most ways. He wasn't the best good-looking guy ever, but he wasn't the worst-looking guy ever either. He wasn't the smartest, but not the dumbest.
The thing was, Charlene had grown thinking that the pretty girl always got the leader, the important one. Just look at Scooby-Doo! Daphne and Freddie, right?
And so, when she met Finn, she knew she'd have to get him.
But Finn Whitman seemed to have other plans.
Charlene certainly did not blame Amanda, and she was too stubborn to blame Finn. She used to blame Amanda, though, but after working together to interrogate Sally.. well, the two girls had been nicer to each other ever since.
So, if you asked Charlene why she did what she had done that May afternoon, Charlene would not know how to answer.
The Keepers and the sisters were supposed to meet at a park that day, and Charlene had been the second one to arrive. Finn had been the first one, and she found him leaning against a tree.
"Hi, Charlie."
Her heart did somersaults when he called her 'Charlie', and she grinned sweetly in return.
"Um, hi Finn." She tried to sound confident, like the fact that she was talking to him didn't make her heart go a tiny bit faster. She got closer to him. Too close, someone else would probably think.
She battled her eyelashes.
"So, no one's here yet, huh?" Charlene mentally stabbed herself for such a stupid conversation starter.
"Not really. Kind of weird, they were supposed to be here five minutes ago, and Willa and the sisters are never late. Philby isn't always punctual, but Maybeck always comes too late, though." Finn replied, and all Charlene could do was look at how his lips moved. Up and down, forming words.
All she could think at the moment was how badly she wanted to kiss him, and she started imagining the kiss. Until she realized she was doing it. Charlene had just kissed him, without any kind of warning. Before he even knew what she was doing.
Charlene Turner and Finn Whitman. Kissing. At a park. Right then and there.
Twice, he tried to pull away. Twice, she kissed him harder. Charlene tried to convince herself that she was not making him cheat. Nobody really knows what Amanda and Finn really are, anyway, she said to herself.
When they did break apart, Finn just stared at her, completely stunned. But when he was about to say something, they heard Jess call their names.
"There you are! We've been looking for you everywhere." Amanda said when she and Jess reached Charlie and Finn.
Soon after that, the other Keepers were there, too. (Except Maybeck, who had stopped to buy a hot dog and arrived ten minutes after them.)
Everyone soon started talking, and nobody really noticed two teenage fangirls staring at their camera, thinking about how lucky they were to have taken a perfect shot of two of their favorite hosts kissing.
"This is so going on the Internet!" One of them squealed.
Charlene Turner had definitely not thought that would've happened.
A/N: So.. did you like the first chapter? Review to tell me what you think, and what you think should happen. Tell me what you liked and disliked :)
I'm sorry if I made any big grammar mistakes, English is a second language to me.
