RUN TO ME
Disclaimer: I don't own Radio Free Roscoe or the song "Brand New Day." Sting owns the song "Brand New Day," and I still don't know who owns RFR, but it's still not me. And I still own Kayla and her friends.
A/N: When you see a line like this: ~~~~~~~~ it means that the scene is switching within the setting or to another place if it is mentioned that they're going somewhere else. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't get confuzzled, as I like to say.
BRAND NEW DAY
"Well, here we are, another day in the painted prison," said Ray Brennon as he walked through the doors of Henry Roscoe High with his friends Robbie McGrath, Lily Randall, and Travis Strong. "It's not that bad Ray," Lily said, "At least, it's not that bad for me." "Yeah, but what about the rest of us?" Ray asked. Travis and Robbie shook their heads as the group reached their lockers, knowing that Ray was overreacting as always just to make Lily talk to him. As they opened their lockers and got their books out, they heard a sound that resembled the sound of books crashing to the floor, mean laughter, and a voice they knew all too well. They turned to see Kim Carlisle laughing and standing over a blonde girl about their age who was frantically trying to pick up her books and the contents of her backpack. "Next time, watch where you're going," Kim said in that annoyingly holier-than-thou voice she reserved for underclassmen as she kicked the girl's books and other stuff farther and farther away from her. "Just because you're a sophomore doesn't mean you're any better than the freshmen. Remember that," Kim said before walking away, laughing her head off and followed by a laughing group of seniors. "Geez," said Robbie as he and the others watched the girl attempt to pick up her stuff, "I knew Kim Carlisle was a bitch, but I didn't know she was that big of one." Travis nodded his head in agreement and said, "Let's go help her." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Great, just great," Kayla Adams muttered as she attempted to pick her stuff up off of the floor, "My first day here and I run headfirst into the Roscoe High über-bitch. Just my luck." Kayla looked up and saw a group of kids about her age-3 guys and a girl-coming towards her and sighed, "Here we go again," as she began again to try and collect her things. "Looks like you could use some help," the girl in the group said. Kayla looked up, an incredulous look written on her face. "Don't worry," said the guy with the 'fro, "We're here to help." Kayla breathed out a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks. I was scared that you were the other half of the welcoming committee I just ran into." She resumed picking up the things that had fallen out of her backpack, helped out by the girl, the guy with the 'fro, and a guy with black hair and sideburns. When everything had been put back into her backpack, she zipped it up and said, "Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. I'm Kayla, Kayla Adams." "I'm Lily Randall, and this is Ray Brennon and Robbie McGrath," said Lily, pointing to Ray, who saluted, and then to Robbie, who waved. "Nice to meet all of you," Kayla said, and then turned to look for her books. "Here," said a voice from behind her. Kayla turned and found herself staring at a blonde guy whose hair was spiked a little, and who was very cute. "I'm Travis," the cute blonde guy said, "Travis Strong. Here are your books." "I'm Kayla," Kayla said as she took her books from Travis, "and thanks." "So, I see from your books that you're in a few of my classes," Travis said, "Which means you're a sophomore. You'll most likely be in our homeroom, then." "Speaking of homeroom," Kayla said, "Where is it?" Robbie laughed and said, "C'mon, we'll show you," as he began to walk down the hall, followed by Ray and Lily. Travis said, "Well, welcome to Roscoe High," and led Kayla to their homeroom, all the while thinking, "She's really pretty. Wait a minute, what am I thinking? I've never thought that about a girl before, much less one I've only known for less than 5 minutes. Oh well, maybe fate is taking matters into it's own hands." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later, Kayla was sitting in a chair listening to her CD player, waiting for her next class to start, when she saw, out of the corner of her eye, someone sit down in the chair next to her. She paused her CD, removed her headphones, and looked to see who it was. When she saw that it was Travis, her heart skipped a beat. "So, what are you listening to?" Travis asked, pointing to Kayla's CD player. "Sting," she answered, and then added "Actually, a Sting song on a mixed CD, to be more specific." "Nice choice," Travis said, and then asked, "Which song?" "Brand New Day," Kayla replied, "It's one of my favorites. It's a really good song." "Yeah, it is," Travis said, nodding his head in agreement, "Do you have any other Sting songs on there?" "Desert Rose," Kayla answered, "And that's it. You wanna listen?" she asked, taking her headphones off of her neck. "Sure," Travis answered, taking the headphones from Kayla and putting them on. "You want me to start the song over?" Kayla asked. Travis shook his head no, and Kayla pushed the play button, and it started where she had left off.
"I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I'm the plow and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day
I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I'm the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day
You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around
We'll go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day"
When the song finished, Travis took off the headphones and handed them back to Kayla. "Thanks," he said, "I like that song a lot too." The bell rang, signaling that it was time to change classes, and Travis stood up and said, "So, where are you going this period?" Kayla stood up, put her CD player in her bag and said, "History, Doyle." "Same here," Travis said, "Wanna walk there with me?" Kayla smiled and said, "Sure." And with that, she turned and followed Travis down the hallway to their class.
So, that was interesting. Here's a preview of next chapter: Title: Cherry Pie Summary: Basically, it's what happens at lunchtime, hence the title. There's another Kayla/Kim Carlisle incident, involving (you guessed it!) a piece of cherry pie. (This chapter has nothing to do with the song, but I warned you.)
