Oh and I made up the couple that lives down the road from Caitlin's family.
Caitlin and Griffin start there walk from school that day and head over to a diner to go and get something to eat, they are meeting up with Brett and Eric there.
"Hey guys what's up?" Griffin asks
"Shhh hold up a second Griff" Eric shushes him
"Why what's up?" Griffin says looking over to where they are looking. "Hey who's that?"
"Don't know" Brett answers "She has been there for about 20 minutes now, looks like she is waiting for someone"
"You guys are checking out a girl? If you want to know what she is doing go ask her." Caitlin says impatiently
"No way! You can't just approach a girl like her" Eric protests
"He's right Caitlin" Griffin agrees
"Give me a break" Caitlin says rolling her eyes she goes over to the girl, when she approaches she notices the girl is fiddling with a camera. "Hi"
The girl looks up almost hopeful for a second then it's gone "Hey" she says showing no interest
"So did you just move here? Cause I've never seen you around here"
"Yea sorta it's not permanent though"
"It's very permanent Kylie, so stop saying it isn't" A lady in a work suit says coming up to her.
Kylie shrugs and looks away
"Kylie you have to be more agreeable to this it isn't the end of the world you know"
"Uh huh"
Caitlin stands there unsure of what's going on. But it seems strangely familiar
The lady sighs "I'm going to call and see what's the delay"
Once again Kylie shrugs concentrating on her camera.
"Nice camera" Caitlin says
"Thanks" Kylie sighs then tucks some hair behind her ear "So does it totally suck here?"
"No, not really…..ok yea kinda."
"Figures"
"So where are you from?"
"Chicago"
"Wow that's a real change of scenary, I remember when I moved here I hated it I came from a city too, so how come your mom choose here?"
"She's not my mom"
"OK sorry, stepmom?"
"She's not family at all she's my social worker"
Caitlin cringed now she knew why the scene was so familiar- this was her not to long ago.
"You can ask. I don't mind" Kylie says taking Caitlin out of her thoughts
"Huh? Ask what?"
"Why I have a social worker. My parents are dead."
Caitlin gasped this was way to weird. "How" She blurted out then covered her mouth "Oops! I'm so sorry"
"Don't worry about it, everyone has that reaction"
"I know I mean I am kinda in the same situation as you I had to move out here when my mom died, I wouldn't stay in foster care so I live here with my cousin."
Kylie raised an eyebrow "Nice arrangement, I'm here to live with my aunt, I didn't even know I had an aunt and uncle here."
Caitlin laughed "I didn't know I had cousins here either."
Griffin , Eric and Brett walk over. "Speaking of one of them. That's my cousin Griffin, and his friends Brett and Eric"
"Hi!" Eric says eagerly
Griffin and Brett murmur a hello too.
Kylie looks at them sizing them up a moment "Hi" she says finally
"Hey so where did you come from? I will happily be your tour guide for this town" Eric says
Kylie jumps up and stands face to face with Eric she is shorter then him with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes, and a nice tan. She smiles brightly "Thanks a lot but this place is just like any other I'll be fine"
She goes down the steps after her social worker "See you around Caitlin"
"Bye Kylie" Caitlin smiles *This can be great* Caitlin thinks to herself *Someone who thinks just like me*
"I'm in love" Eric says grabbing his chest and staggering "What a name Kylie it's beautiful like her"
Caitlin rolls her eyes "Give me a break Eric she didn't even look twice at you"
"I'm sorry Caitlin that your JEALOUS but you need to let me go" Eric smiles
"In your dreams" Caitlin going inside the diner
**************
"Hello Kylie, I'm you Aunt Macy and this is your Uncle Jake" Her Aunt Macy gestures to the many next to her.
Kylie half smiles "Hey"
"Her Jake get her bags and bring them upstairs" Macy says
"I am not a servant around here Macy" Jake says loudly
"Jake please this is her first day here please try to make her feel welcome"
"Fine, this time I will" He grumbles as he brings the bags upstairs
"Don't worry Kylie. Jake's just having a bad day that's all."
"Hey we all do right?" Kylie says dryly
"Yes I suppose we do, why don't you head on upstairs and get some rest tomorrow is your first day at school" Macy suggests
"Sure whatever" Kylie heads up the stairs
************
"Kylie! Kylie your going to be late!" Macy yells up the stairs the next day.
Kylie comes down a minute later. Dresses in a denim skirt and a blue tank top that bares her midriff , she is in the process of putting her camera in her bag.
"Kylie you ready dear? Want some breakfast?"
"No thanks I don't eat breakfast."
"OK well then I can drive you now if you want"
"Sure whatever" Kylie heads outside
***************
"Want me to walk you in honey?" Macy asks Kylie
"Nope I'm fine" Kylie gets out and heads inside
Inside Kylie heads to the main office, and inside she talks to the secretary a few minutes later she leaves with her schedule and locker sheet in hand.
"234, 236, 238, 240, 242 There it is." Kylie looks to the next locker and groans when she realizes the guy it belongs to is that guy Eric from yesterday. "Can this day get any better?" She ask opening her lock "Great it's stuck"
"Hey your in school already?" Caitlin asks going to Kylie
"Yep they don't waste anytime getting me out of their hair"
"I know what you mean. Is this your locker? Mine is 240"
"Yup but it's stuck, or jammed I don't know"
"Here I can help you with that." Eric says
He starts to tug at her locker and finally gets in open falling back and hitting into Kylie and Caitlin sending them both flying.
"Ow! You idiot what is wrong with you?" Caitlin yells "You ok Kylie?"
Kylie says nothing she opens her bag and look around inside, she pulls out her camera and examines it.
"It doesn't look like anything is broken" Eric says
Kylie glares at him. "Hey guys" Griffin says walking over "Kylie so nice to see you so soon, whoa what happened to you arm? How'd you get that bruise?"
"Eric made me and Kylie fall" Caitlin says through gritted teeth. "Hey if your camera is broken I can fix it"
"No it's fine, I was just checking. Ow!" She says rubbing her arm.
"You OK?" Brett asks
For the first time Kylie smiles "Yea I'll be fine."
"Can I walk you to your class? You know help you find it?" Brett asks
"Yea sure" She picks up her things
Griffin watches them walk away "Caitlin she didn't get that bruise from falling not that fast."
"So? Maybe she plays sports or something"
"You should ask her"
"OK Griffin if it will make you happy" Caitlin makes a face
*************
"Hey how'd you get that bruise on your arm?" Brett asks afters chool (sorry for the jump in time but nothing ever really happens in school anyway) they are heading to meet up with Caitlin and Griffin
"I play basketball, and the last night I was home we had a big game and I went up for a lay-up and some guy totally went up for the block I hit the ground hard. See?" She shows him a black and blue on her leg too.
"So did you make the shot?"
Kylie smiles devilishly "Yup"
"Hey guys over here!" Griffin yells waving
"Come on lets go."
Caitlin and Kylie lead the way chatting non-stop, Griffin leans over to Brett and mention the bruises
"Yo Griff calm down, she plays basketball that's all."
"You sure? Cause"
"Positive man calm down"
"OK"
*******************
"Can I get you guys anything?" The waitress asks as they sit down
"Yea I'll have a cheeseburger fries, onion rings, and a vanilla milkshake? "Griffin says
"Make that two" Brett adds
"And for you girls?"
"I'll have a chocolate shake and fries" Kylie says
"Me too and a cheeseburger though" Caitlin says
"OK that'll be about 10 minutes"
"Your not hungry?" Griffin asks Kylie
"Nah I'm not a big eater"
"Oh OK" Griffin says warily
"Griffin would you stop that? Why do you make a big deal out of everything?" Caitlin hisses "So Kylie do you like horses?"
"Sure why?"
"Well I have a horse - Bandit and we have some others maybe we can go riding today?"
Kylie froze "NO! I mean no thanks that's ok I - I have to go home I'll talk to you guys later" She gets up and rushes out of the diner.
"Whoa" Brett says under his breath
"Caitlin-" Griffin starts
"Don't Griffin I know that was weird but I'm sure there was a good reason for that, maybe she is late"
"It's three o'clock"
"Shut up Griffin"
TBC"d I know it started off kind of slow but I have some good ideas for this the horse thing I mean so it will get much better I promise! R&R please!
