Summary: Allison Hamilton is a social and Noah Calhoun is a dreamer, so what happens when they fall in love? This is the story of what would happen if Noah went to New York when Allie asked him to come with her.
People say that there is always one true love out there for everybody. You could meet them anywhere. They could be the person walking next to you on the street, the person that you bump into on the way out of the grocery store, or someone that you sit next to on the bus. You never know. That's why you should always keep an open mind when meeting people. You should never judge a book by its cover. That old saying will never die, because it will always hold true to life. There are just some things in life that shouldn't matter as much as we falsely make them matter, like social order, what family you're from, or how much money you have. In the long run, we don't fall in love with money, or social order, we fall in love with people, not class.
Nobody had grown to believe that more true than Allison Hamilton, a seventeen year old socialite from Charleston. She had moved with her family to Seabrook South Carolina over the summer, right after graduation. Her father was a wealthy businessman, and her mother was a pristine trophy wife of sorts. When she moved to Seabrook, she spent the first week with her parents, but one day they had asked her to go out to the store and pick them up a few things. Allie had wondered why they didn't just have one of their maids do it, but she later realized that it was a ploy to make her get out of the house and possibly meet some friends.
Allie had walked nervously into the store, and eyed the aisles up and down wondering where to find what she needed. She glanced down at the list that she was carrying, and didn't even see the girl in front of her when...crash.
"Oh my gosh, I am so, so sorry." Allie pleaded to the girl that she had accidentally collided with.
"Oh, no worries," said the girl, who brushed a strand of chestnut brown hair out of her face. "I mean accidents happen and you didn't even get me hard. Hey, you know, I just noticed that I've never seen you before, you new here?"
"Um...yes." Allie said as she smiled at the polite girl, noting that she spoke in a high pitched voice that made Allie giggle slightly.
"Well, I just had a feelin' that ya' must be new 'round here because everyone kinda knows everyone else in Seabrook. Small town of us I suppose." She said. "Oh my goodness, I completely forgot to introduce myself," She laughed sticking out her hand, "My name's Sara."
Allie took her hand gladly and introduced herself. "Well, pleasure to meet you Sara, I'm Allie."
That was the beginning of a great friendship. At first Allie felt that she didn't fit in, her tone and vocabulary seeming somewhat out of place amongst that of the thick southern accents of Sara and her friends. Sara was one of the nicest girls that Allie had ever met, she was so generous and kind, accepting Allie immediately. She had been so interested in hearing about where Allie was from, where she went to school, and everything else about her. Sara was blown out of the water when she had seen Allie's house that day, calling it more of a museum than a house. Sara had also been thrilled to introduce Allie to her boyfriend, Fin.
Fin was a nice boy, somewhat of a jokester, but a nice one. He worked at the lumberyard, but when he wasn't working he spent time with Sara and his friends. He and Sara got on great which made Allie feel like a third wheel, until Sara introduced her to a bunch of Seabrook boys. It seemed that thanks to Sara, Allie's name had spread like wild fire among the town boys, and she was now the most popular girl in town, every boy wanted to get with her. All of a sudden, after a little more than a week in Seabrook, Allie felt at home. She was now close with Fin and Sara, and loved to walk about town with them.
But nothing could have prepared Allie for what would happen on that fateful night of June 6th 1940. She had been spending the evening at the Carnival with Fin and Sara, when Sara introduced her to a young man in a blue suit with his hair combed back, and a mustache. His name was Jack. Jack was a nice guy, who bought Allie some cotton candy, and walked around the carnival with her. But once she got onto the bumper cars with Sara, little did she know that fate had taken the upper hand, because a young boy of seventeen was watching her. His beautiful brown eyes following her as her cart moved back and forth along the ride track.
Noah watched the beautiful girl intently with dreamy eyes as he and his buddy Fin waited for Sara to get off the ride.
"Hey, whose that girl with Sara?" Noah asked as he looked at Allie. She was beautiful. She was a petite girl, with milky white, porcelain skin, gorgeous, flowing auburn hair that reached her shoulders, and intensely shimmering green eyes.
"Oh, her name's Allie Hamilton. She's here for the summer with her family. Her dad's got more money than God." Fin said before he was cut off by Sara's scream.
"Hi Fin!" She called as she waved at him and Noah.
Noah had always been a person to go for what he wanted. When he wanted something, he wanted it bad, some might even say he went crazy for it. And now, he wanted Allie. When he first caught a glimpse of her he felt his heart skip a beat and pound so fast that he swore it would break out of his chest. He knew what it meant too, he knew that she was the one. There were just some people like that, that could look and somebody and know right away that they were meant for them, and Noah Calhoun was just one of those people.
Once the ride had stopped, Allie got to her feet and wavered slightly from all the spinning, as she hooked arms with Sara and skipped off the ride. As the two walked, they were suddenly surrounded by young man, including Jack, that all seemed to be fighting for Allie's attention. But then something just plain weird in Allie's opinion happened. A cute boy walked up to her, stood smack in front of her and asked her to dance. Her first reaction was plain shock. Nobody had ever been so forward, and knowing her family's ways all too well, she looked him straight in the eye and rudely responded, "No."
But she surely wasn't expecting the boy to respond back, she thought that he would just go away because of humiliation, but instead he didn't look humiliated at all, instead he asked, "Why not?"
She hadn't even thought that she would need to respond, so she just said the simplest thing she could think of, "Because I don't want to."
They were then cut off by Jack, "Noah, she's with us." Allie watched the expression on the boy's face drop slightly, but then he just smiled, and she couldn't fathom why. Before she could even say anything Jack interrupted her thoughts again, "Hey Allie, wanna ride the Ferris Wheel?"
"I'd love to." Allie laughed slyly, putting an arm around Jack as he led her away from the boy and to the Ferris Wheel.
She would never forget what happened next. Her and Jack had been on the Ferris Wheel for about one minute when that boy from before, Noah as Sara said, jumped onto their cart and introduced himself. Then he did something so out of his mind that Allie nearly had a heart attack. He jumped out of the chair, and hung from the bar in front of their cart. One slight slip and he would fall 50 feet to his death.
"Will you go out with me?" he asked.
Outraged, Allie replied snidely, "No."
"No." Noah repeated her looking upset.
"No." She said again.
"No." Noah repeated once more, before Jack cut in, "She said no."
"Well then," Noah said, "You leave me no other choice." He then released one of his hands from the bar, so that he now hung one handed over the Ferris Wheel. Allie was so scared that she covered her mouth in shock, as she screamed. Even though he had been so forward, she was terrified for Noah.
"Will you, or will you not go out with me?" He asked one more time, and before Allie could even respond, he said, "God damn, my hand's slippin'."
"Then grab the bar you idiot." Sara shouted from the cart below them, where she and Fin had been sitting.
"Oh, go out with him honey." Fin encouraged.
"Alright, alright, I'll go out with you." Allie said.
"What." She heard Jack exclaim.
"No, don't do me any favors." Noah said, making Allie respond, "No, no I want to."
"You want to?" Jack asked.
"Yes!" Allie shrieked at the top of her lungs.
"Say it." Noah laughed.
"I wanna go out with you." Allie screamed.
"Say it again." Noah said.
"I wanna go out with you." Allie screamed so loud she thought that her voice box had blown out.
Grabbing the bar and smiling a sweet smile, Noah replied, "Alright, alright, we'll go out."
Allie was so mad, and so scared at the same time that she could only think of one thing to do that would teach Noah for how stupid he had just been. She reached down and started to undo his belt.
"No. Don't do that." Noah pleaded. But Allie continued, a wicked smile on her face, as she finished undoing his belt, and then pulled his pants down around his ankles, leaving him in his boxers, hanging 50 feet in the air. "You're not so cocky now, huh?" She asked.
"I'm gonna get you for that." Noah replied.
"Well, maybe you will, maybe you won't." Allie laughed, along with everyone else. Jack, Fin, and Sara were all in a fit of hysteria, laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
That had been the night that Allie's life had changed. She didn't know it then, but she would grow crazy in love with Noah Calhoun, the up front boy from the Carnival. He would be the single most important person in her life. In fact she wouldn't be able to live without him. That was just how much she would fall for him.
