My New Life Chapter 1 |Jessica Wakefield woke up the next morning looking on the ground | |to see if her red dress from last nights dance was there. | |It was. | |"Why was everyone calling me a slut last night, I never knew Will | |had a girlfriend", said Jessica to herself in the mirror. "but | |worst of all, my | |Best friends, Lila and Amy have turned against me. | |So Jessica got up to her closet and wore her sweat pants and a | |t-shirt to go for a walk and clear her head. | |Leaving a message in the kitchen saying she was out for a walk. | |She started running for a while, and then sat down on the bench in| |the park. | |"I never thought this would happen to me, but why would they do | |This," said Jessica to herself. | |"I wish I could just run away, to another school, and have a new | |life" she | |Said, then she got an idea. | |"Why not? I mean mom and dad could let me go to Lauren Hill High | |School, since its close to Sweet Valley University, maybe | |I could stay with Steven and Billie. And I could just have a new | |life." she said with excitement. The she got sad, | |"But I wouldn't see Liz all the time; we've never been separated | |for more than a couple of weeks. | |"But I can't stay in Sweet Valley, everyone hates me" said Jess. | |She ran for a while longer, and then went home to tell her | |parents. | |She saw them both at the breakfast table at the Fowler dinning | |room. | |"Mom, Dad, could I talk to you guys for a minute, it's really | |important." | |She said. | |"Sure, honey, what's up" said her mother. | |"Well, I've been thinking about this for a while, mostly all | |night, and I | |Wanted to ask you if it was okay if I transfer to another school" | |she asked, a little scared of what they would say. | |"Why is that Jessica, aren't you happy at SVH" her dad asked, with| |concern. | |"Well, I might as well tell you the whole story" she said, and she| |told them the whole story from her meeting Will, till what | |happened at the dance last night. | | | |"Oh, honey, I understand know why you want to go to another | |school, but | |Are you sure you want to leave Sweet Valley High" her mother | |asked. | |"Yes, want to go too another school, away from Sweet Valley High, | |it's near Sweet Valley University, and | |Since it's too far to drive there every morning, I could live with| |Steven and Billie for the rest of the year, please mom and dad.

They both looked at him, with their puppy dog faces. | |"Okay, okay Jessica you can transfer to Lauren Hill High, I've | |heard they have a good school, and that if your going to stay with| |Steven and Billie, it will be a good experience for you before you| |go to college" her father said with a smile on his handsome face. | |"Oh, thank you daddy, I'm going to go call Steven and ask him if I| |can stay with him for the rest of the year" Jessica said with joy,| |as she ran | |Upstairs to call her brother. | |She dialed his number, and Billie picked it up. | |"Hello?" asked Billie in the phone. | |"Hi, Billie its Jessica is Steven there. | |"No, sorry he's still I class," Billie said. | |"Well actually I wouldn't mind talking to you, since I have to ask| |the both of you" she said. | |"Okay, what's up" Billie said. | |"Allot has happened this year, and I decided to transfer to Lauren| |Hill High, and since it's near SVU, could I live with you and | |Steven, that is until I start going to college next year" Jessica | |said. | |"Well, it's okay with me, I'll ask Steven will let you know, but | |for sure he'll say yes, and between the two of us, I would love to| |have a girl live here with us, and we were looking for a roommate | |anyway, everyone we've met is really weird" Billie said with a | |laugh. | |"Thank you so much Billie, dad said if it was okay with you guys, | |I'll be moving in Friday" Jessica said. | |"Great, when Steven gets home I'll let him know and call your dad | |and tell him" Billie said. | |"Great, well I got to go and tell Liz, bye" Jessica told Billie, | |and she hung up the phone. | |"Bye jess, see unbilled said by hanging up. | |Jessica went to her dad's study to tell him the good news, when | |she saw Elizabeth in there, looking for some paper for her | |printer. | |"Hey Liz, could I talk to you for a second" Jessica said. | |"Sure" Elizabeth said a little uneasy by the look she saw on | |Jessica's face. | |"Well, you see, I'm not going to SVH anymore" Jessica said. | |"What do you mean, why" Liz said, really sad by the news she was | |hearing. | |"Look, I thought about, I made a decision to transfer to Lauren | |Hill High, and mom and dad said yes, so I'll be living with Steven| |and Billie for the rest of the year" she said in a quiet voice. | |"Are you sure Jess, I mean, I'm going to miss you so much" | |Elizabeth said with a few tears in her eyes.
