Chapter Two

"Don't worry about it," Vicky's best friends tried to comfort her. She shrugged it off. Who cared? Now she was a free girl! She was free to flirt and do whatever she wanted. Who needed Chris? All heads turned from the girls lunch table when a new girl walked in.

She was really pretty and Victoria's happy expression immediately frowned. The girl was gorgeous. She had long, straight, chocolate brown hair and high cheek bones which made her look sophisticated. Her chest wasn't huge, but bigger than Vicky's. She was wearing a low cut tee shirt and knee length denim shorts. She walked into the cafeteria slowly and looked around as if trying to find someone.

"Who is that?" one of Vicky's friends, Marla, asked. The whole table went silent as they watched the girl approach Chris's table and hug Teddy Duchamp. She smiled intensively at him and then smiled at the boys.

"I don't know," Vicky began, nibbling on a piece of lettuce from her salad. "…But I don't like her."

"Guys, I want you to meet my cousin Caroline," Teddy said, showing her off to the guys. They all smiled. Each one of them knew that Caroline was gorgeous but they decided to keep the thought to themselves.

"Hi," Caroline smiled, bright teeth twinkling.

"This is Vern," Teddy said, pointing to Vern Tessio, who smiled like an idiot. "He's a pussy and you shouldn't get buddy-buddy with him," Caroline smirked and Vern frowned.

"Hey!" he shouted and Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry Vern, I don't think you're a pussy," she smiled. Teddy groaned.

"Whatever, this is Gordie," Teddy pointed to a doe eyed boy with short brown hair similar to Caroline's. She smiled at him. "He likes writing,"

"He is correct, I do enjoy writing," Gordie smiled. Caroline laughed. Then she got a look at the next boy.

"I'm Chris," he said, smiling. Caroline blinked at him.

"I'm Caroline," she raised an eyebrow. Chris licked his lips.

"I know," Chris said back, a smirk on his face.

"Well there you go, now…whatever," Teddy said, taking a seat next to Vern. Caroline shrugged and took a seat in between Gordie and Chris who eyed each other and smiled.

"So Caroline, what made you come here to Castle Rock?" Chris asked her and she turned to face him. Up close, her features were even more iridescent.

"Well actually…um there was a fire at my house in Virginia…I was the only one in my family to survive." She said with a quiet, sad tone. Gordie's mouth dropped and Chris shifted in his seat.

"Uh…wow, are you okay?" Gordie asked her. Caroline shrugged.

"I mean…there's nothing I can do about it, thank God Aunt Susan took me in," she said, referring to Teddy's mom. "I bet Castle Rock will be fun." She said, with a small smile. The boys all eyed each other.

"I'm so sorry," Chris said.

"Wow that really stinks, I'm sorry," Vern added. Caroline shifted. She hated sympathy. The only people who needed sympathy were the people who had died which consisted of her mother and father, her older sister, Lucille, her younger brother, Wally, and her newborn sister, Kristine. She held in her tears because on the inside...she knew the fire was her fault.

Caroline entered her last class of the day which was her college course. It was math, and she was actually amazing at it. She looked around her classroom and only recognized Chris and Gordie who motioned for her to sit in between them.

"Hey Caroline," Gordie smiled and she did too as she took a seat.

"Hi guys," she said, situating herself.

"You feeling okay?" Chris asked her and she nodded.

"Me? I'm fine! Just a little tired is all," she lied. If only they knew she had been crying for the past ten minutes in the girls' room.

The class went by really slowly, but once it was over, Caroline got her books together.

"Hey you guys want to come to my house after school?" Gordie asked them. Chris nodded.

"Yeah," he said, getting his books together.

"If Teddy doesn't mind," Caroline smiled. The three walked down the hall and Caroline saw Teddy talking to Vern. She tapped him on the shoulder.

"Would it be alright if I went home with Gordie and Chris to Gordie's house?" she asked. Teddy nodded. And the three of them walked quickly away.

"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do!" he shouted after them and Caroline turned around.

"Well, Theodore, there's not much you wouldn't do!" she shouted back.

a/n: not my best work, I know. Sorry for not updating in like, 3 days. If you want, I'll update tomorrow! Yeah? You like that? I'll try! I barely have time to write during school days cause school ends at 3 and then I have field hockey practice till 5:30, so then I come home, shower, eat, do my homework, then fall asleep from exhaustion. Maybe later today you will get an update? That's only if I get a review or something.

Okay! Well I hope you liked this chapter, even though it sucked. Trust me, it gets better. I have up to 31 chapters planned out. Its going to be a good story, I think.

Well, I'm going to go do my weekend homework and you will possibly see me later today!

Tata for now!
