I am really happy people like this story. I don't really know how long it is going to be, but I am thinking about just having like a Naomi/Ethan/Annie thing going on, with Silver/Dixon as well. Pretty much everyone, except Ty and I still don't know about Adrianna. Let me know if you have suggestions!
And.. I have decided to change the POV of this story to 3rd person, sorry for the crappy writing last chapter.
Annie left her last period class with the thought that her first day didn't go so badly. She ran into Ethan, and even met a couple new people. She tried to lay low, and just hoped for her and Dixon's sake that word wouldn't get out about their dad being the principal. Now that was something that just needed to stay within the four walls of their house as long as humanely possible.
She sent a quick text to Dixon telling him to meet her in front of the school. She was really excited that she was going to be able to spend more time with Ethan and catch up, especially since she hadn't seen him in a while.
"I just hope he remembers" she muttered to herself.
Right on queue, her phone buzzed and she saw that Ethan had texted her saying that he would be out in front of the school in a black Mercedes, and that her and Dixon should find the car and he would take them to hangout and show them around a little bit. Annie forwarded the text to Dixon and added a HURRY UP to the message for some added effect. She saw Dixon walking towards her, and motioned for him to come her way.
He gave her a quick hug and said "Mercedes, huh? People here are so rich, they could swim in money."
She laughed and said "I know, but this is Beverly Hills. Did you honestly expect anything else? I mean, if this is what public school is like, just imagine the private schools. And there's probably some people here besides us, who don't fall into the Elite Upper Class section of the economy."
Dixon raised his eyebrows at her and snorted "Yeah, a grand total of 10?"
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever dude, anyways, Ethan wants to show us around and hang out for a bit. His car's right there so come ON." She was walking towards the car as she heard her brother yell something which was probably a snide remark, she just rolled her eyes again and kept walking.
Through the windows of Ethan's car, she saw him looking at her and smiling. She raised her hand to wave at him, and smiled.
"Hey Ethan. Thanks SO much for showing my brother and I around, it was seriously really nice of you to go out of your way and do that." she said as she got inside his car.
"Annie, its really no problem. Dixon's a really cool guy, and you guys are new in town. Plus, I wanted to catch up with you. We haven't really talked in a long time, its about time we get to know each other again."
Annie smiled nervously as she tucked a piece of way hair behind her ear. Dixon clambered into the car and the two boys exchanged boyish greetings and caught up within the 5 minute ride to the Peach Pitt. Ethan parked the car, and everyone got out. The Peach Pitt was like a more glorified version of the Jamba Juice, Annie thought to herself.
"So, this is the place known as the WBHH's home away from home. Well, this, the mall and the club. It's really nothing more than an overly glorified Jamba Juice." Ethan said as he flashed a smile at Annie. She smiled back, getting more nervous by the second.
They all sat down and ordered a drink, and Ethan turned to Dixon and started asking him about one of their favorite things to talk about, Lacrosse.
"Are you going to try out for the team?" Asked Ethan.
" Yeah man, I mean I might as well. I really have nothing to lose." Dixon replied.
"Yeah? That's cool. I play too, and I'm one of the co-captains. I remember seeing you play a couple summers ago when you were here with Annie, and you were really good. If you're still that good, we'd love to have you. You'd be an awesome player man." Ethan said while he was sipping on his rather green looking drink.
"It would be awesome to play, man! When are tryouts?" asked Dixon.
"They're on Friday, but this week at the school they've got pre-season. It's not mandatory but it would really help your chances. Especially if the coach recognizes you during try-outs and knows what you can do." Said Ethan. " If you want to take my car, I have a change of clothes in my trunk. Just pick us up at 7 when pre-season's over."
"Ethan,man, you are a life saver! Thank you so much!" he replied while he was halfway out the door after having caught Ethan's keys.
Annie smiled at Ethan, "That was really nice of you, Ethan. Dixon really loves playing Lacrosse, and if he gets on the team it would be one more plus because of this move. And trust me, we need all the pluses we can get."
He looked at Annie with a concerned face, "Not that I mind seeing your pretty face around more often, but why did you guys move here? Last I remembered, you told me that you really loved Kansas and would never even consider leaving."
She let out a long sigh "Well, it's pretty much so we can take care of Beverly Hills most loved, my grandmother, Janet Wilson. She's been drinking more lately, and the doctor thinks it would be a good idea if we came to monitor her. Just to keep her under control and help her out a bit."
"I see. Well, I would say that I'm sorry you left. But, I'm really not. I've missed our friendship, and I'm really glad you've come to WBHH." said Ethan.
He stood up and threw his drink away, and offered me a hand. "Come on, we'll take a walking tour of the most important places."
Annie took his hand, and he slung his arm over her shoulder. They started walking down the sidewalk talking about old memories, and good times. Ethan showed her the bowling alley, movie theater, club, most notorious party spots, and everything else he claimed was crucial for her to know.
It was a really good day, and we were sitting on a bench by the mall eating fries, and laughing about old times when my phone rang and Dixon asked where we were so he could meet us.
"Damn, these 3 hours have flown by!" Annie exclaimed.
"You're with me. Did you expect anything else?" said Ethan
" Don't think so highly of yourself mister! You can get quite boring at times, actually, most of the time." she smirked.
Ethan mocked offense. " I am deeply wounded Wilson, I'll have you know that many people find me entertaining. And now, as a punishment for your unkind words, I am going to steal a massive amount of your fries."
She was horrified as Ethan took many of my precious, delicious fries, and ate them. She gasped, feigning shock. And then started laughing hysterically when he shoved all of them into this mouth at once. I heard a chuckle which I recongized as Dixon's.
"Pathetic, man. You are seriously wack!" Annie heard her brother exclaim.
She started laughing, and Ethan gulped down half a bottle of water in order to refrain from choking to death with the deadly mixture of breathing, laughing and eating. They got into his car in hysterics, and many onlookers must have thought we were the weirdest people in Beverly Hills. Ethan drove them home, and the whole way back they were all laughing.
They got out of the car after Ethan pulled into the Wilson driveway, Dixon was thanking Ethan for the lacrosse heads up, and promised to return Ethan his clothes, freshly washed. Annie was turning to leave when I felt a hand on my wrist.
"No goodbye for me?" Ethan asked.
"Bye Ethan. This was really nice of you, and I can't stop telling you how grateful I am. You went out of your way to to be nice to my brother and I." said Annie.
"No problem, it was fun catching up. I'll see you in school tomorrow." he said. He pulled her in for a hug, and drove out of the driveway.
Annie Wilson returned inside with a huge smile on her face. "See you tomorrow!" She thought to herself.
I am SO sorry it took me this long to update. For those of you reading my other fic in the OTH section, I am sorry about update's on that one too. I've just been so busy that I neglected this fic. Hopefully this chapter made up for that.
As always read and review please! Any suggestions/comments/questions are always welcome as long as you don't yell at me! :-) I'll update soon, I promise!
