Somewhere I Belong
DISCLAIMER: Okay, I know that The O.C. has already shown their second episode, but it kind of messes up my story so let's just pretend that Ryan didn't run away yet and all of the goodies okay? Thought you'd understand. Oh yeah, I do not own The O.C. or any of the characters except for Riley "Riles" Brooks, the rest of the Brooks family, and their little world.
Chapter 1 "Mobile"
'Man, this blows.' A young girl thought while looking out the car window. Shaking her head, Riley Brooks reflected about starting a new life, again. 'Why the hell do we have to move to Newport? Why now? I was actually starting to like the school. Aw man. These girls are going to be such prisses. I can see it now. One girl will be talking on her cell, 'What about the sale? Oh.my.god...40% off? I am SO there! Ciao!' and run to her BMW and high tail it to the mall. There better be some hot surfers, that's all I have to say.' Riley continued to sulk in the backseat next to her brother. She didn't notice that he glanced at her with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
'Geez, why is she making such a big deal? She's gonna meet new people, people she will probably never meet in her lifetime.' Cody sighed. He knew that people like her would likely avoid girls that liked the mall. She was always stubborn and acted before thinking. When he and Riley were told they were moving to Newport, Riley stormed out of the room. Cody went to check on her and see if she cooled off, but she was still fuming about what just happened.
"It's not fair! Why does this always happen? Why can't we stay for once?" She cried out. Tears streamed down her cheeks. It always pained him to see his sister so sad. He walked over to the couch and put an arm around her.
"I know, I know. It's hard to adjust to different schools over and over. And I know it is unfair. But we have no control over it. Dad has to be at the San Diego base." He said. "Life's a bitch. You can kick its ass someday to make up for it." Cody joked. Riley smiled at this and wiped a tear away from her face. "Try to like it? For me?" He pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
Riley considered this. She knew her father had to move because of his job. "I don't know...Maybe, we'll see." Riley said.
"Alright, that's my girl! Maybe you might actually like their mall." Cody kidded. With a death glare from Riley, "Sorry Riles, my bad. Don't get so riled up Riles."
"Remind me to wear stilettos when I kick life's ass AND yours." Riley yelled after Cody, who already left the room, just barely escaping a whooping from his sister.
Cody chuckled at the memory. When the Brooks started the drive from San Jose to Newport, he knew he tried to convince Riley in vain.
Riley was still in deep thought about everything in her life. She took out her CD player, irritated by the show tunes that were playing on the radio. 'Who in their right mind would listen to this music for 6 straight hours? Oh no, Riles. Don't even think about show tunes.Not worth your time. What is worth your time is Linkin Park's Meteora.' And soon loud rock music was blasting through her headphones, blocking out all noises and distracting herself from all of her worries. Music was her way of forgetting the world around her and helped ease her mind. 'Oi, if I'm really pissed off most of the year, I am seriously going to overplay this CD.' She closed her eyes and sang a long with the music in her head. 'Nothing beats Linkin Park.'
After another hour of driving and Linkin Park, they finally reached their new home
"Okay kids! We're finally here, Newport Beach." Neal Brooks excitedly said. The family got out of the car, Riley the slowest of them all, and stood there. After a minute of admiring the house, Kate Brooks sighed.
"What a beautiful house. I still can't get over the fact!" She barely whispered. The rest of the family had to agree. "What do you think Riles? Mom did a good job huh?"
Riley waited a moment. "Enchanting." She muttered with a slight indication of sarcasm, but no one noticed it.
"Well, let's get going then huh?" Neal happily said. Neal and Kate started to unload the trunk and each brought a box up to the front door.
"This is going to be our forsaken domain?" questioned Riley.
"Damn straight it is." Cody answered.
"And that is going to be our lovely view?" Riley questioned while pointing at the surfers and sunbathers on the beach.
"The lovely view will be our view indeed." Cody said happily, checking out the girls in bikinis.
"Bring it on." Riley murmured and sensed that this was going to be long summer and one long school year. When Riley and Cody started to walk, they didn't realize that someone was watching them down the street riding on his bike.

Okay, this is my first fan fic, and probably one of the first O.C. fan fics, so forgive me if some things don't go as planned on the O.C. (show). I'd start from the second episode, but Marissa and Ryan are a little pissed at each other you know? This story really focuses on Riley and her effect on the entire Newport Beach community so everyone's parents, might not be concluded except for Sandy & Kirsten Cohen. They might have very small roles, but I highly doubt that they will play a big part. We'll just have to see what happens next. By the way, this story is going to be more of a comedy than drama, unlike the actually show. I never really was good at drama. I'm a comedy person, *hyuk hyuk*. :) PLEASE R&R! I can handle a few insults. Please tell me if something is wrong with the behavior of the characters, i.e. the way they talk and react to certain actions. Thanks!
