Don't worry guys I haven't given up on my other fics but this idea came from a dream I had and it just wouldn't leave so I had to write it down.

Sixteen year old Louis Vartann had just moved to Vegas, he hadn't wanted to leave all of his friends behind in Canada but his fathers job had called for him to move and in turn the family as he wouldn't leave them behind.

His first day at school had been pretty average, he hadn't known anyone and had spent the day wandering around looking for a place that he could fit in. His sister on the other hand hadn't had a problem, she had made friends straight away and had come home from school babbling about how she had been invited to a party.

"What?" Lou asked looking up from his sketch pad.

Jenny turned to him in her chair and grinned. "Carly, the girl I met at school today invited me. Her boyfriend is having a party at the skate park and she's going with some of her friends and she said I could tag along. Can I go mom?" Jenny turned to their mother with pleading eyes.

"I don't know Jenny, it's a new town and we don't really know anyone here. What if they aren't really friendly people and you get left out there alone, anything could happen." Their mom always worried about them.

Jenny rolled her eyes and folded her arms pouting.

"I'll go with her." Lou piped up looking back down at his sketch pad.

Jenny grinned knowing their mom couldn't say no to Lou, he was her little prince.

Their mom looked between them for a couple of minutes then sighed. "Fine but be back by eleven and you stay close to Louis."

Jenny jumped up and hugged her mom then ran off to her room to get ready, Lou however took his time to finish the sketch he was working on before he got up and wandered to his room changing into some baggy jeans, t shirt and sneakers. He grabbed his board and cap before walking out of the room looking like the typical skater boy.

Going down to Jennys room he knocked on the door before calling through it that he would be in the truck. One of the only good things about moving to Vegas was that he had finally gotten a car, admittedly it was a old blue Chevy truck but still at least he didn't have to walk everywhere.

Half an hour later Jenny had finally walked out of her bedroom looking like she was going to a fashion show not a skate park, Lou rolled his eyes and drove them to the skate park. Jenny immediately jumped out of the truck as soon as they were parked and ran off to her friends taking part in the boy watching, giggling and acting like brainless bimbos. Lou shook his head at their antics and got his board out of the back, he took a look around the place, nothing in particular standing out grabbing his attention he made a slow walk over to the half pipe.

He had only been on the half pipe for about fifteen minutes when he collided with another skater, they both hit the floor with a grunt and rubbed their heads. Looking at each other they sat up laughing, Lou swiped his hand across his mouth and saw the blood knowing he had a busted lip.

The lad he had hit stood up and helped Lou up. "Sorry man, wasn't really paying attention." The lad said as he dusted himself off.

Lou grinned and shrugged. "No biggie dude, I've had worse."

"Want a beer?" The lad asked pointing to the cooler over by the side.

"Sure," Lou followed the lad over and grabbed a beer looking around the place again, this time he zeroed in on a girl with beautiful red hair.

She didn't look like the girls she was standing with, including his sister. She was wearing jeans, sweater and some simple flat shoes and she looked like she was quite bored with the whole thing. He was sure she hadn't been there when he had arrived.

"Who's the girl?" He asked the lad he now knew as Alan.

Alan looked over drinking his beer. "Oh that's Catherine Flynn," he looked at Lou and saw the look in his eyes, he shook his head and chuckled before patting Lou on the back. "Don't even try it mate, she's not into boys."

Lou turned his head and looked at him. "You mean she's a lesbian?"

Alan threw his head back and laughed harder. "No dude, although that would be pretty hot." Lou nodded in agreement. "What I mean is that she doesn't date, she's too interested in her school work."

Lou looked back over at the girl and smiled softly, this girl Catherine was drawing him in for some reason and he liked it.

He was determined to get to know her.
