The Kids Of Port Charles
A/N: A little background info. Michael woke up from his coma a few years ago. The ages of the kids may be messed with a bit, to fit the story, but I tried to stick to their real ages as best as I could. Everything else should be explained through out the story.
Chapter 1 – Wake Up Calls
Seventeen year-old Kristina Cornithos woke up with a pounding headache to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She grabbed it off of her nightstand and looked at the caller id. She saw her nineteen year-old brother Michael's name and answered it with a groggy, "Hello."
"Hey, you awake yet?" came Michael's voice from the other end of the phone.
"I am now." Kristina sits up in her bed and throws the covers off of her body. She is wearing a black tank top and black and pink plaid pajama pants.
"How's your headache?" Michael asked with a hint of attitude.
"Michael, please don't start this morning. It's to early and my head hurts to much."
"It wouldn't hurt so much if you hadn't gotten completely wasted last night."
Kristina rubbed her head and said, "Let's talk about this later. I've got to get ready for school."
"Alright, but this conversation isn't over. I'll see you at school. Bye." With that, Michael hung up the phone leaving Kristina to get ready for school. Kristina set her cellphone back on her nightstand and got up to go take a shower.
Just down the hallway from Kristina's room her sixteen year-old sister Molly was already awake, showered and dressed. She was wearing blue jeans, a pink tank-top and pink flip flops. While she was applying make-up to her face she heard her cell phone ringing. She picked it up and saw that she had a new text message.
hey sexy. u awake?
Molly smiled and then replied to the message.
yeah. i'll see you at school. love you.
Molly hit send and smiled even wider. She and fifteen year-old Emma Scorpio-Drake have been secretly dating for the last few months. They both desperately want to tell their friends and families, but are afraid of what there reactions will be, so they are still keeping it a secret.
Molly finished applying her make-up, grabbed her backpack and purse then walked downstairs to find her mother, Alexis Davis, in the kitchen getting ready for work.
"Morning sweetheart. Ready for your first day of sophmore year?"
"Definitely. Where's Kristina?"
"I'm right here," came Kristina's voice as she entered the kitchen. She had taken Tylenol before her shower, so her headache was starting to go away, and she managed to smile brightly at her mother and sister. She was wearing blue jeans, a black tank-top and black converse sneakers.
"Well, I've got to get to work. I'll see you girls tonight." Alexis kissed both of her daughters on the cheek, grabbed her briefcase and left the house.
As soon as she was sure her mother had closed the front door Molly turned to glare Kristina. "So, how wasted were you last night?"
"Look, Michael yelled at me the entire car ride home, and he's probably going to continue to yell at me today, so can you please not yell at me too. Let's just go to school." With that, Kristina grabbed her backpack and purse off of the kitchen counter and walked outside to her car, with Molly following close behind. The two sister got into the car and drove to Port Charles High School in silence.
