Hey Everyone! I re-wrote this story because I didn't like how it was going story wise and character wise. I changed a few things. Like it isn't on a three person view on only France, Alonzo and Cherry more promented in this version, and the way Francesca acts around people and how they respond. There's also some tweaks to France's and Sakura's apperence (even though I didn't introduce Sakura in the last version XP) But anyways enough of my rambling. Hope you enjoy!
(Oh and P.S. the Beginning of the story takes place on a friday. Just to let you know)
"Lo! Ya ready yet?"
"Yeah on sec!" Alonzo Bourdain grabbed his leather jacket with the sleeves ripped. He tugged at the top of his hair a habit he did every time he made his long hair into something like a Mohawk. He ran outside to meet Johnny and the rest of the greasers. It was about lunch. He knew he was going to be blasted by the preps for hanging with the greasers because he was rich and what not and should have been with the preppies, but the greasers were his kind of people, and he could give a damn about they thought as long as he was happy with his life.
When Alonzo step out of the Auto Shop garage, there was a girl with long black hair outside. The girl turned to face him and he realized it was his twin sister Sakura. She smiled at him and ran to him. She acted differently than her usual serious self. She blew her hair to get a better look at Alonzo, but her straight cut bangs grew a little too long and fell bang on to her face; so she just held them up with her hand.
Alonzo always teased her for the way she wore her uniform, with her skirt short, blazer, knee high socks, and black loafers, to the way she had her hair, that used to be natural red like his but now dyed black. He would tell her that she look more Japanese. You wouldn't even know she was half French if it wasn't for her hazel eyes and French accent.
"Lo! I've been looking for you. I knew I should have check here first!" She seemed really happy about something. "Guess who's here?"
Alonzo chuckled, "Who, Cherry?"
"Hey! I said guess. Come on. I can't be the only one excited for her arrival?"
He looked at his sister a little confused, and then he realized, "Oh you mean-!"
"Yes! She arrived here last night and what Pete told me, he helped her out to the office and her dorm. So she is somewhere in the campus."
"Hey! Lo!" It was Johnny calling for him, "Ya comin' or not?"
Alonzo said goodbye to sister and ran to his friends.
"What was that about?" Lefty nudged Alonzo's arm.
"Yeah, Cherry, seemed to be jumpin' off the wall. That ain't normal for someone like her." Norton laughed.
"Oh, um, a friend of ours is coming to live here and Cherry told me she somewhere here."
"You mean your friend is gonna go here?"
Ricky, who seemed spaced out earlier, chimed in," She, huh? What grade is she? She cute?"
Alonzo eyed him. "What? Just want to know." Ricky shrugged.
Alonzo rolled his eyes," She's in same grade as some of us. So she's a senior."
"Yeah, there's only two classes a day. You want me to show your classes are and give you a tour of the school?"
The group looked up and saw Pete Kowalski with a tall girl in a blue vest and a blue ankle long skirt. He grew a little since last year. Petey wasn't really that tall but he wasn't nearly as puny as he was went the became with James Hopkins. Actually, he was now taller than him, which irritated Jimmy to no end.
Alonzo was a little surprised when he saw the girl was his friend.
"Hold up guys." He said running towards the couple.
"Oh, hey, Lo" Petey smiled, "What do you need?"
"How are you doing, Alonzo?" The girl said.
She had a smirk on her lips. She had a Scottish accent like her dad, but with a hint of Russian pronunciations, that she got from her mom.
"Well, a little better now you're here, Sugar."
She chuckled at her name being turned into a term-of-endearment nickname. Her full name was quiet a mouthful, she would sometimes admit. Francesca Kathrine Howard Sugars was here name, and, yeah it was long, but her parents loved going overboard with names. You think that they wouldn't have enough names after having three other children before her though.
It seemed like his friend followed him, because he felt a hand smack him on the back. "So you going to introduce us?"
"Ah, yeah, this is Sug-I mean France."
Norton smirked," France. That's an interestin' name."
"Actually, my name is Francesca Kathrine Howard Sugars, but, please for time's sake, just call me France." Francesca said, her voice turned a little cold. Alonzo bit his lip and chewed on his lips ring. He could tell Francesca was a little uncomfortable.
"Alonzo, Peter said he will show me around. Now you don't want to keep your friends waiting. Excuse me." Her baby blue eyes danced from face to face of the greasers. She began to her mouth and shut it. Turning away, she said, "Peter, let go." Francesca gripped his hand. She looked like a child hiding behind their mother when a big scary adult tries to talk to them.
"Um, sure. Well, let's go here." Petey seemed blush at the mere touch of a girl.
"Oh! Wait!" Alonzo called for Francesca, who turned around, "since you back you want to hang out with us this tomorrow ? I'm having a B-B-Q."
"Really? Who will be there?"
Lefty spoke up, "Us and a few more of our guys."
"How?"
"'Bout fifteen or twenty."
She eyed him, making Lefty shift a little. He wasn't the type to get nervous, but then again you can really stay cool with someone like Francesca staring daggers at you.
"Hmph." She turned back and made Petey lead her somewhere else.
When Petey and Francesca left, Johnny sucked in his teeth making a tsk noise, "Was that you're friend that Cherry was so excited about? She isn't what I expected."
Alonzo give him a wary smile, " She's usually nice, but-"
"But," Johnny interrupted, "she don't like our kind, right? I seen what she was wearing. Hmph, thought you didn't like those trust fund fairies."
Alonzo shook his head. Johnny could be far from the truth.
"Why did you go and invite her, man?" Lefty eyed Alonzo, "Did you see the way she was lookin' at us? Like she was better or something."
Alonzo waved his hand at them dismissing their words, "Look, I've known her for year, and it's not because we were forced to. Sugar is a nice person, but she just can't…um, she's been traveling everywhere for the past decade or so, and it's hard for her to speak to people. It's even harder to meet people her age. The only person really who can handle her that's our age is my sister, but she acts like a mother anyways."
"She seemed to be cool with Head Boy over there. You see how she was snuggling up 'gainst him."
"Hey, maybe he's defendin' her 'cause he has the hot for her. You calling her 'Sugar' and all." Ricky chirped.
"That's her last name, stupid. She is a nice chick, and she cool with Petey 'cause he ain't intimidating." Alonzo frowned.
Johnny raised an eyebrow, "What you saying we scary?"
"Really?" Alonzo copied Johnny's actions.
Norton chuckled, "Fine, you win that. You better not be lying about that France girl of yours."
"Guys, just chill. It'll be fine."
"Hope you're right." Johnny said as they walked inside the main school building.
So this is the first chapter! Hope you liked it. I'll post another one as soon as possible. If you want to see what Francesca suppose to look like here's a link of a drawing I mean of her, along with other things - gallery/#/d4yaadb
