I love reading Berkeley fics so I decided I'd write my first fanfic. I really do believe that Sandy and Kirsten are soulmates and I hope that someday I can find my perfect person. This how I personally think things happened.
Introduction
She was free for the first time, no restraints no ties constantly pulling her towards her former life in
Newport. She had faced a heartbreakingly difficult decision and after having the abortion she realised
that Jimmy evidently was not the one for her. That really was what had made her choose, if she had the
baby her life from that moment would be planned – marriage to Jimmy, children, newpsie conventions
every week etc. Don't get her wrong she always wanted to get married and have children one day but
not when she was twenty two and hadn't found that one perfect person who had swept her off her feet.
So therefore she decided a New Year back at Berkeley meant a fresh start, to forget about the past and
move on to achieve her own dreams and ambitions. She made a pact with herself that she would never
let her guard down, her secret would never come out even if she was consumed by guilt – that was her punishment. The less that was said
about it the more likely it would not affect her in reality. She didn't really believe that she was going to find her soul mate at college bar or
party anyway so the chances of becoming close to someone were slim…
He was starting his first year as a law student, anxious to be at the top of his class yet willing to enjoy himself on a constant basis with his
friends. Getting a good degree and trade was his ticket out of his former life in the Bronx. After the Rebecca incident he decided that love
wasn't to be taken seriously, it came and went not caring who it destroyed in its path. Yes he was bitter, he had been a casualty.
Rebecca Bloom, the love of his life his friends had mocked, had burnt down a building and fled without a goodbye. Well he'd be damned
if he would feel for someone again. He was perfectly fine with the odd fling, tell the girl what she wants to hear and he'd get his bit. Not
that he wasn't a gentleman but he wasn't look for that so called special someone here at Berkeley. He had tried that and failed, but after
a year had passed he began to question his feelings for Rebecca. Could you really love someone who could forget and dismiss all the time
and effort put into a relationship? Therefore he decided he was going to focus on his studies and enjoy life no more mopping around.
Finding a girl worthy of his undivided attention was pretty unlikely anyway….
