Diclaimer: I don't own anything related to the movie.

Chapter 1: Meeting Each Other

Like my other two stories, Jamie does not have cancer, but now both are 16 and juniors at Beaufort High School. Jamie is more popular in this one then she is in the movie. They don't know each other. Yet....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jamie POV:



I went to my second period class. History. I hate this class. None of my friends are in here. We hear a knock on the door. Then it opens and in walks Prinicpal Kelly.

"Sorry, Mr. Nelson, but we have a new student." He said pulling in a young man and "Everyone, this is Landon Carter. I want you to treat him with respect like yu do your other peers."

'Yeah, right. Like that is true.' I thought to my self.

"Well, Landon, you can go sit over there, by Jamie." He said pointing and "I'll get you a book tomorrow."

Landon nodded and walked back by me. When I saw him up close, he was cute.

"Hi." I said.

"Jamie, you can socialize with Mr. Carter after class." He said. Everyone laughed and then Mr. Nelson went on with his lesson.



He gave us an assignment, but not Landon. The bell rang and We left the room.

"Hey, Jamie!" I heard someone shout my name. I turned around and saw Landon trying to catch up with me.

I walked to a spot where there wasn't much traffic.

"Yes, Landon?" I asked when he caught up with me.

"Can you help me find this room?" He asked showing me his schedule.

"Hey, that's my next class, come on, but first I have to go to my locker." I said.

We walked downstairs and to my locker. I got my math book and we walk to Algebra 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Landon POV:

I was nervous, I just moved here and I had to start a new school today.

"Landon, come on, or you are are going to be late." My mother yelled from downstairs.

'That's the whole point mom.' I thought to myself.

We moved her from Jacksonville, North Carolina. My parents divorced a year ago because my father was cheating on my mother. My mother could not stand being in a place with so many memories, that she decided to move to a small town and and since she had full custody of me, I had to move there too. So we moved to Beaufort, North Carolina. What really sucked is that I have to start school during the middle of the school.

I decided I might as well go, my mom will kill me if I have a tardy, I had alot at my old school.

"It's about time." She said as I walk downstairs.

"Bye mom." I said going to the door.

"Aren't you forget something?" She said.

I had my bag and my keys. My shoes were on. "What?"

She pointed to her cheek. She wants me to iss her good-bye. I'm not 5 years old anymore. I knew she would get mad so I gave her a quick kiss and walked out.

******

I parked my car and bravely walked inside the school. I went to the office. One of the secetaries helped me.

"My name is Landon Carter. I'm new here." I said politly.

"Oh yes." She said. She dug through a thousand other schedules and she also said "Here you go. You're first class is US history, room 212, Mr. Nelson. Mr. Kelly will show you there."

Which he did. He introduced me to the class. Once he left, I was seated. What was really good, was that I was seated next to a beautiful girl. I knew only her first name, Jamie.

She said hi, but before I could say hi, the teacher yelled at us.

I was just about to ask her to help me for help to find my next classroom, but the bell ring. She was one of the first out. I tracked her down and she said she would help, but first she said was to go to her locker.

We went to one of the most bring classes, Algebra 2.

Jamie POV:

At lunch, I let Landon sit with us. He and only another boy sat with us. I heard some commotion behind us and I turned around.

"Crap." I said.

"What?" Landon asked.

"Them, I hate when they have lunch here." I said. We have had a bad history.

"Who are they?" Landon asked.

"The trouble-makers. Dean, the leader, Tracie, his girl, Eric, da man, or so he calls himself, Belinda, the blonde, and Walker, the smart one" I explained.

I hope Landon doesn't get any ideas. I want him to be one of the smart, new kids. So many others have tried to get in their group and failed.

****

When I went home, My father greeted me with a hug. Sometimes I like when he does that, but today I didn't.

"Hi dad." I said.

"Hi Jamie. How was you're day?" He always asked.

"Good." I always answer. I went upstairs to do my homework and what for my best friend to call.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Landon's POV:

I went home. Today wasn't so bad. I did like meeting Jamie, but her group just isn't for me. Those others were more for me.

"Landon, how was it?" My mom asked.

"Not as bad as I thoughty it would be." I said.

"Good." She said kissing me on the top of the head.

'Man I hate that.' I thought as I wiped it off.

"Oh, my little boy likes it. He's rubbing it in." She said. This has been going on for years.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs." I said taking a snack upstairs.

****

I decided to go for a drive. Iwanted to see what this little town was made of. I drove past a old park. I saw a few cars their so I decided to drive closer and check it out. I had to stop at empty 4-way.

I felt a thump on my door. "Hey man." Said the guy.

"What?" I asked.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Just driving around." I replied.

"I'm Dean. I haven't seen you around." He said.

"I'm new in town." I said.

"And your name?" Dean asked.

"Landon Carter." I told him.

"Come." He said and "Go park your car and come."

I did. I followed him into the park and noticed that they were the kids that Jamie pointed out.

"Everyone, this Landon Carter. He will be joining our group. He has a kick-ass car." Dean said.

Man, now I'm part of a group I can relate too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. What do ya think? Is it kinda a lousy way of joining a group then what is in the movie?
