¤~Nothing Like This Feeling~¤

Chapter One
(a/n: This is Jamie's story. Sooner or later, it will be summer again, and the writers will have more teen romances to attract teenagers like me, which means Jamie probably will get a girlfriend. But until then, here's this. BTW, this plays off of April 17th's episode.)
Jamie waited at the top of the stairs until his mother and father left. Once they were both safely out of sight, Jamie grabbed his coat and left the house. He needed to clear his head. He didn't know where he was going; he was just walking where his legs were taking him.
A couple minutes later, Jamie found himself walking through the park. Sighing, he slumped onto a park bench.
"Oh, hello, there."
Jamie jumped, startled. He looked at the speaker – a girl about his age. He had been so deep in thought that he hadn't even noticed she was there.
"Are you all right?" the girl asked. Jamie didn't say anything; he just looked at his feet. "Wait a second… I recognize you! Your name is Jamie, right? We go to the same school."
Jamie looked up at her. She had green eyes and blonde hair. She was wearing orange cargo pants and a black sweatshirt. I don't remember her from anywhere…
"You probably don't recognize me," the girl continued. "I just started school here about a week ago when I moved here with my family. My name is… well, my real name is none of your business, 'cause I'll kill you if you call my by my first name, but you can call me Rusty. Or Squeej," she added thoughtfully. "That's what everyone back in my old town used to call me."
Still Jamie said nothing.
"Dood, do you like not talk or something?"
Jamie sighed.
"I had a practically-life-threatening episode with Vanessa Cortlandt a few days ago, and I'm still a little…" he paused, searching for the right word. "Shaken."
"Vanessa Cortlandt?" Rusty repeated. Jamie saw her clench her fists slightly.
"Yeah, you know her?" Jamie replied with a touch of sarcasm in his voice.
"She… she killed my dad," she said quietly. "Or one of her little minions did, anyway."
"Oh."
There was a silence.
"I should be going," Jamie announced awkwardly. "It was nice meeting you, Riley."
"Rusty," she corrected him.
"Right… Rusty… mmkay." He stood up. "I guess I'll… see you around then…"
"Mmhmm."
Jamie thrust his hands in his pockets again and walked off.
