Introduction!

People called the place were I lived 'Castle Rock' I don't know why there weren't any castles. But it was a tiny little town with less than 2 thousand people. I just moved here with my twin sister Olivia and my mother. We moved from Jamaica Queens, New York, so we aren't used to little towns. Olivia and I are identical twins. We have elbow length curly strawberry blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, milky complications, slim figures, full lips and curvy bodies. My sister and I have always been very close, but since the move we really haven't spent time together. She became a cheerleader and I began to hang out with Chris Chambers.

At every school there are the popular kids, losers, freaks, and the gangs. My sister was popular but I didn't have a label. I was just myself. I didn't want or need to impress anyone. If you didn't like me then you never would.

Monday Morning

I woke up at the sound of my alarm clock screaming at me from across the room. I sat up sleepily, got out of bed, and turned it off. I walked to my walk-in bathroom and turned on the shower tap. I took a quick shower and got dressed. I put on a pair tight blue jeans, a black tight shirt and black chuck Taylors. I grabbed my back pack and ran down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom and sister already eating breakfast. I grabbed a piece of toast and sat down next to my sister.

"Morning everyone." I said eating a corner of my toast.

"Morning Ocean dear." My mom said as I stood up and headed for the door stilling eating my toast. "Oh and I have to go out of town on a business trip today and I wont be back until next Saturday!" She yelled after me I nodded and continued on my way.

"Ocean! Hey Ocean wait up!" Olivia yelled after me. I stopped and waited it took her about a million years to catch up. She pulled on her knee length skirt as she ran. Her strawberry blonde hair bouncing behind her.

"What?!" I asked impatiently I was already late meeting Chris. I put my bangs behind my ears and crossed my arms.

"Well I thought we could walk to school together." She said starting to walk again.

"Sorry no can do I'm walking with Chris" I said just then I saw Chris walking towards me and Olivia. "Hey Chris" I said smiling. "Umm I think you already know Olivia." He nodded and I turned to my sister "I'll see you after school...Bye!" And with that Chris and I headed towards school talking quietly to each other.

"What did your sister want?" He asked as we walked up the stairs into the school.

"She wanted to walk to school with me" I replied and I opened my locker and grabbed my math book and my pack of cigarettes. I pulled one out and put it behind my ear.

"You remind me of my brother when you do that." Chris said.

"Oh thanks" I replied just as Gordie, Teddy, and Vern walked up. I smiled at Teddy, but he didn't smile back. I turned that smile into a frown before everyone would even notice. I turned around and closed my locker and headed for math. But to my dislike I had my sister and her stupid bozo friends in that class. So I walked pasted and went outside, and sat down on a bench. I pulled my cigarette out from behind my ear, put it in my mouth and lit it. I took a long drag, and then I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around and some a group of guys standing there watching me. "Yes?" I said eyeing them like they were eyeing me.

"Why in the fuck are you sitting on our bench?" The blonde one asked.

"I dunno cuz I wanna" I asked

"Well move!." He replied. I laughed.

"What's your name?" I asked. He looked at me for a second then said 'Ace' "Well Ace I don't see your name anywhere on here, so this cant be your bench." But I stood up anyway and walked to the next bench. They sat down and smoked cigarettes. The same guy that told me to move came and stood in front of me. "What is this your bench too?"

"No, what's your name." He asked

"Ocean." I replied.

"Ocean?...." He asked stupidly.

"Yeah Ocean Ray Chandler." I said flicking my cigarette onto the grass and walking away.

"What kind of names Ocean?"

"What kind of names Ace?"

"Ace is a hell of a lot better than Ocean." He replied following me.

"You may think so, but I don't." I said opening the door and walking to my locker. The bell was about to ring and I had English next period. I opened it just as the first period bell rang. Everyone flooded into the hall and I opened my locker grab my book and walked to second period. I sat in the back row last seat. Chris sat in front of me, Gordie next to him, and to my surprise Ace sat next to me. i was surprised becauase no one has ever sat there before it was always emtpy.. Chris and Gordie turned around.

"So I hear there's a party at your house tonight?" Chris asked. I looked confused.

"There is?" I asked him back.

"Since when do you answer a question with a question?" He replied.

"Since ten minutes ago. Now what about this party?"

"Your sister has invited the whole school to your house tonight. Since your moms going to be gone and all." He said just then the teacher walked in.

"'Class quiet down!'" She yelled over everyone.

"A party tonight? At my house?" I asked myself then I went into dream land.
