A/N: okay people, this is my first Summerland fan fiction! Now, it doesn't seem like a Summerland fic for the first two or three chapters, but trust me, it is. I have about eight chapters of this story written so far, and I don't know how many chapters this story will have, but let me tell you this: rating might change as the story goes on because a different "atmosphere" may arise later. Anyways, please read and review! No flames please, but constructive criticism is welcome. Thank you!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Summerland (if I did, it'd still be on the air!). But I do own Melanie, Ali, Anthony, Cy, Pierce, Neely, Ariel (pronounced: Ah-ree-elle), Maryann Myers, Rick Shiftwit, and other people I'll make up along the way.
Another A/N: the whole story is in Mel's point of view.
ON WITH THE STORY! XD

I woke to the sound of Green Day's "American Idiot" coming from my alarm clock/ CD player speakers. I let the CD play while I took a shower, got dressed, and did my hair and make up. As I headed out of my room, I hit the power button to turn it off. I walked down the curved stairs of my home and headed into the kitchen/lounge area to find what I usually found on school day mornings. My mom sitting on the camel colored couch with a mug of coffee in her hand. She stared blankly at the TV screen. My five-year-old younger twin siblings, Ali and Anthony, came running into the kitchen. I gave them each a piece of bread with cream cheese on top, and poured myself a bowl of cereal. After we were all done, I grabbed my backpack and handed the twins theirs before grabbing the two sack lunches I'd made for my younger siblings. I walked over to the couch where my mom sat and said, "Mom, I'm taking the kids to school." She kept her head straight, but her eyes looked up at me quickly before returning to the TV show she was watching. I took that as her way of saying goodbye and left.
"Mel!" I heard someone call as I walked the sidewalk towards Riverview High. I turned to see my friends Neely and Ariel running towards me. "Hey guys," I said. "Hey," they said. "What's up?" I asked. "Nothing much. You?" Ariel asked. "Same as everyday," I sighed. "You want to spend the night at my place tonight?" Neely asked. "And leave Ali and Anthony alone with mom? Are you crazy?" I asked. "Sorry. Couldn't they spend the night at one of their friend's houses or something?" Neely asked. "Even better plan Ly. Leave mom alone in the house. She could catch the place on fire," I shot. "Whoa, hold it Mel. Ly didn't mean to set off the fireworks," Ariel said standing up for our friend. "Sorry guys. I had a bad night," I said running my fingers nervously through my hair. "It's alright Mel. We're your friends. We've got your back," Neely said slinging her arm around my shoulders. I smiled as I walked with my friends the rest of the way to the high school. I wouldn't leave them for the world.

A/N: I know, I know, VERY short, but chapters will be longer, I swear! Just give the story a chance. I will be giving you all a second chapter later. Maybe even in a few hours or so, but it depends.
REVIEW PLEASE! XD
