Rachel Green got out of the car and examined her new house. She had just moved to NYC from Seattle. She was 14 and was in the 8th grade. She was very popular back in Seattle. Her dad was a vascular surgeon and he was offered a better job here in the city.

She walked into the house in an attempt to find her room. After driving all that way in the same car that her sisters were in, she just wanted some time to herself.

Her parents had come out here the week before with the movers, so her room was all ready for her. This was the first time she hadn't had to share a room with her sister Jill, her older sister always got a room to herself, so Rachel roomed with Jill.

Rachel walked up the stairs and spotted the room with her furniture in it. She walked in and threw herself onto the be. She made a mental note to always take the plane from now on. She'd much rather have jet lag than carsickness.

As she was lying there, she started thinking about how much she missed Seattle. She had left all of her friends there, including her boyfriend, Andrew. He was a great guy, and she got along with his older brother Kenneth too.

Even though she missed everyone back home, she was willing to make a new start here in the city. She had always wanted to live here, but her parents were both raised in Seattle, and didn't want to leave. It took alot, but they finally decided to move out here when this job offer came along.

She set up her stereo and popped Eminem's CD in. She went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. She figured she should get to bed early, since she would start school again tomorrow. She ended up falling asleep listening to "Lose Yourself."

------

Rachel awoke at 5:45, she wanted to look excellent for her first day. She knew it would be a bit harder to fit in for many reasons. First, it was a much larger school than the one she attended in Seattle. Then, there was the fact it was a new school where she knew no one. Finally, she was starting during the middle of the school year.

She had her hair down and straightened. She ended up wearing a light gray, full length skirt with a black baseball tee with white sleeves. She made sure to leave early so she would be able to get her class schedule and get her locker organized. She made sure she had plenty pictures of Andrew and Kenneth.

She went to homeroom first and was seated by an overweight girl with black, curly hair. The girl introduced herself as Monica Geller. She turned out to be quite nice. Rachel then had first hour English with Monica. She thought the English teacher was a mental case, but she lived. She had Science second hour, chorus third hour, and Spanish fourth hour.

Finally, lunch hour came and Rachel ended up eating with some girls from her Spanish class, Abby, Lisa, Katie, Jeniffer, and Natalie. Lunch was pretty fun, she Monica sitting at a table all by herself and once the girls were done, Rachel went and started talking to Monica.

-------

Rachel became very popular in a short period of time, and no one seemed to care that she hung out with Monica. She was constantly going to parties, and she actually became the only 8th grader who made the Lincoln High School Cheer Squad.

One day, during 7th hour Algebra, Rachel went up to Monica because she needed to ask her an important question.

Rachel: Hey Mon, what are you doing after school today?

Monica: Nothing, why?

Rachel: Well, I was invited to a pool party and I can't find my swimsuit. I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me?

Monica: Of course, I'd love to.

Rachel: Ok, great, I'll have my parents drop us off at the mall when the pick me up

Monica: Ok, sounds good to me

*Monica and Rachel are walking around trying to find the perfect swimsuit.*

Rachel: Look Mon! There it is, that there is the perfect swimsuit

Monica: Well then go on, try it on. Lets see how it looks on you.

------

Ross couldn't believe he was walking through the swimsuit section to find his sister and her new friend. Monica kept telling him it was the 8th grader who made the high school cheer squad. Now, Ross had heard of her, his best friend, Will, had even tried to talk to her. He seemed pretty pissed off, he said she acted like she didn't notice him, which is pretty hard, considering Will was one of the few people who was bigger than Monica. That just didn't seem like the kind of person who would even talk to his sister.

Ross was a geek, and he knew that, most of the popular, preppy people didn't even know who he was. It didn't bother him, but Will couldn't stand it.

Ross continued to wander around when finally he saw Monica standing by the dressing room. As he was walking up to her, her saw her, in his mind, she was an angel. He stopped dead in his tracks and just stared.

------

Rachel: So Mon, how does it look?

Monica: It looks great, I mean, wow.

Rachel: Really? You think it looks good?

Monica: Yeah Rach, its perfect

*Just then Ross walked up*

Ross: Hey Mon, mom sent me here to tell you that you have a doctors appointment at 5

Mon: Oh shoot, I completely forgot about that. Ross? Do you think you could give Rachel a ride home?

Ross: Ya, I think I have the time


Rachel: Ok, well I'm gonna go take this off, hold on a minute.

Ross: Ok, can do

*Rachel changes and pays for the swimsuit, she and Ross head out to the parking lot. There is nothing but silence. As they get into Ross's Jeep Wrangler, Rachel tries to start a conversation.*

Rachel: So, uh, Ross, what grade are you in?

Ross: Umm, I'm a freshman at Lincoln High

Rachel: so, you're in the ninth grade?

Ross: Yep

There was no more conversation the rest of the drive back. Ross wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know what to talk about. He just didn't talk much in general, so how was he supposed to talk to her? He pulled up in Rachel's driveway and she got out of the Jeep.

Rachel: Hey, thanks for the ride home. I would never have been able to walk that far.

Ross: No problem, it gave me something to do

Rach: So... I'll see you later

Ross: ya, bye

As Ross pulled away, she wondered what was wrong with him. She only just met him, but he seemed distant, she decided to just let it go and went inside.

Jill was the only one home and she was busy doing homework, so Rachel went upstairs and turned her CD player on.

------

Ross got out of his Jeep and went inside. He was the only one there since Monica and his mom were at the doctors office, and his father was out of town on business. He turned on the TV and just flipped through the channels. He ended up turning off the TV and just sat there thinking about the day. He had been really rude to Rachel and decided to call her and apologize to her. *TIME LAPSE* Ross hung up the phone and started talking to himself. 'Hey, that wasn't all that bad, she seems pretty nice. Maybe she isn't all that stuck up' He fell asleep doing his homework.

--------

Rachel was lying there on her bed thinking. 'He didn't seem like a geek, why does Monica always put him down. He seems sweet and charming and...NO, she scolded herself, you love Andrew, you'll see him over Easter break, and Spring Break, don't go doing this to him' She ended up falling asleep thinking about Ross.
