...::::::...

A beautiful, dark haired, 16-year-old girl walked casually down the path. Thoughts of her past filling her head. Memories rising from deep within her all because she seen one poster.

She had moved into the town that she was now walking though when she was 10. She hadn't wanted to move and hated her new home for a long time. The only things that had kept her going were her old friends. She didn't talk to any of them any more. It had been 3 years since she had last spoken to the person she had kept in contact the longest, Summer. They had last spoken when Summer came to the new house and slept for a 13th birthday party. That was the same weekend Zack had finally asked Summer out. Katie could still see Summer's face as she read the text message he had sent her while they where half way through watching 50FirstDates.

When Summer left she still hadn't answered Zack but had said she was going to say yes but only told Katie, because she wanted to say it to his face. Which Katie could understand. Since then Katie had missed all her old friends so much and wanted so badly to get the band back together.

She hadn't just missed the people & she had missed her house. That did have something to do with the people but she classed it as the house that she liked. At her old house her backyard and Freddy's backyard had joined the fence being the only thing from keep them sharing a house. Well it really didn't stop them, they spend almost every waking hour together. They would jump the fence and play in each other's backyards. And if they weren't aloud to do that they'd just talk other the fence. Maybe the only thing she didn't like at her house was that fence...

These memories quickly turned from happy to sad. She couldn't handle them. Her casual walk had turned into a frustrated jog cross stomp. She wasn't watching where she was going she could get home without thinking where she was going. The paths were all ways the same, they don't move. But people do and that seemed to have slipped Katie's mind.

A blonde boy riding a skateboard jumped on to the path ramming straight into Katie. They tumbled off the path onto the grass and landed, with Katie lying on top of the boy.

"Hey, I'm really sorry. I didn't see you there and- Are you ok?" the boy asked.

"Yeah, fine. Thanks." Katie answered push herself up on her hands but still lying on his belly.

Katie looked at the face of the skater boy and their eyes met, locking together. There was something so familiar about him.

"Do I know you?" he asked cautiously.

"No," Katie whispered simply.

Katie suddenly realised she was an inch away from the boys face, his hands were around her waist and she was lying between his legs and onto his belly. She blushed deep red and quickly stood up.

She offered him a hand up and he took it. Just as he stood, he lost his blance and started falling backwards. He grabbed Katie around the waist to stop himself falling and she grabbed his shoulders pulling him back up. Once again they found themselves very close and their faces inches apart, starring into each other's eyes. They slowly moved their heads closer. They both closed their eyes just as their lips were about to touched when they heard a voice. "Hey stupid, hurry up. No time for Dorling right now, mate!" a male voice yelled across the street.

"Coming, Dan!" the boy yelled in reply. "See you round," he said simaltaniously dropping his board and skating away.

Katie watched as he rode towards the corner. "Wait!" Katie yelled after him. "What's your na-" But it was too late. He was gone as quickly as he had come.

Katie wanted to know his name but that wasn't going to dampen her spirits. She practically skipped the whole way home, a huge grin on her face.

Katie sprung through the front door of her house and said a quick hello to her parents. She wasted no time before asking to use the phone to call one of her best friends, Alison aka Ali. (A/n: Amber my little sis picked the name)

She took the cordless phone up to her room and dialled Ali's number.

Her brother answered the phone.

"Hello," he said in a dull voice.

"Hi, it's Katie. Can I please speak to Ali?" Katie asked politely.

"I'll just get her," he said with the same lifeless tone.

(A/n: The phone convos aren't going to have like said and asked at the end if u get it. Just bare with me its easy 2 pick up)

"Hi Katie."

"Hey Ali. Guess what?"

"What?"

"I met this totally awesome guy!"

"Well...?"

"Well what?"

"Spare me no details!"

"Ok. He's blonde and just taller than I am. He a skateboarder and-"

"So that's why you like him eh?"

"Why? Cause he skates!?! No!"

"I don't believe you!"

"Hey! No, really. He's so sweet."

"What's his name?"

"Um..."

"Do you know it, do you?"

"Maybe."

"You don't, do you?"

"No."

"What about Jason?"

"Um, good question..."

"He's your boyfriend, Kai."

"I know but he and I are, I dunno. Things aren't too good with us anymore. We've changed and we don't get along."

"So, is it over?"

"I realised that I never really liked him that much anyway..."

"So then why'd you go out with him?"

"I did but I didn't like love him."

"Love? We're too young to have been in love. Lust maybe..."

"No really, love."

"Who? When?"

"Freddie. But I didn't know it until it was too late."

"Yeah, I know. When you moved you realised you had loved him forever and ever. Amen"

"Ali!"

"What?!"

"Shut up. I did love him."

"So? What's love like?"

"I dunno how to explain it. But it's wonderful! I would love that guy I met today... If I got to know him."

"How do you know?"

"The feeling. And well, you just...do..."

"Oh Katie!"

"Shut up you!"

"How did you meet anyway?"

"He knocked me over on his board on the way home from the shop."

"How romantic."

"Hey!"

"Katie. I've got to go, Mum's telling me to start making dinner."

"Damn it! Ok, Bye, sweetie. See you tomorrow."

"Bye."

"C-ya!"

And so Katie had told Ali a tiny bit of what had happened that afternoon. Ali had no idea how far things could and almost did go with the nameless boy.

Katie flopped back onto her bed and smiled, reliving the walk home that afternoon.

'His eyes were so familiar!' Katie thought to herself. 'He thought we knew each other as well. Maybe we did. So, maybe I'll see him again!'

"Katie. Dinner," Mrs Brown called down the stairs.

(A/n: I know Brown is Rebecca's last name but it does say Katie's last name anywhere. But if anyone knows it please tell! Oh and for everyone who doesn't know Rebecca Brown plays Katie in School of Rock!)

"Be right down," Katie replied heaving herself off of her bed.

...::::::...

Katie woke with her puppy, Fred licking her face. He wasn't a puppy any more but he was her dog all the same. He was getting old, he was 6 now and his name was Fred after Freddie since it was Freddie who had given Katie Fred on her last day at her old house.

Katie looked over at her clock, 8:45am.

"Thanks, Fred!" Katie exclaimed. "I wanted to sleep til 9 today!"

He looked at her with puppy dog eyes and licked her hand. "Awwww, I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you," Katie said sitting up and hugging the dog.

"Well, I'm up now," Katie sighed trowing the sheets off of her legs.

Katie had a shower, got dressed, all the usual stuff and she was soon ready to leave the house.

"Hey mum, can I go for a walk down to the park with Ashlee?" Katie asked.

"Sure sweetie," Mrs Brown answered.

"Bye mum!" Katie said planting a quick kiss on her mums cheek, grabbed her skateboard and leaving through the front door.

Ashlee was another one of Katie's best friends but she wasn't actually going down to the park with her. She was going to the Skate Park.

As Katie arrived she saw a huge group of boys leaving. She noticed one of them was Dan, he had told the boy to hurry up yesterday, so she guessed the boy was in that group too.

'Oh well,' Katie thought to herself turning and going home again.

...::::::...

As Katie got off her skateboard and walked through the door she heard her mums voice say, "Katie dear is that you?"

"Yes, Mum," Katie replied already half way up the stairs.

"You were quick," her Mother continued.

"Yeah. Ash didn't feel well so I told her to have a rest," Katie lied.

"Ok then sweetie," Mrs. Brown finished turning to the TV.

Katie walked to her room, dropped her bag inside the door and picked up her beloved bass. She started playing anything that came to mind. Her natural instinct led her to play 'School of Rock' and tears began welling up in her eyes. She missed her band so much!
