1. Two lives in need of Love
Courtney was so worried. Her mother had just forced her to move from California all the way to New York just so she could marry some drunk. Courtney knew this was going to be bad. She wanted to go back to her home. She had friends there and now all of the sudden she was being thrust into this new environment.
Jason was pissed. He was going back to school, with his brother A.J. Jason and A.J. didn't get along at all. All they ever did was fight, Jason thought A.J. was immature and A.J. was jealous that Jason was a "golden boy".
Courtney had worked hard picking out her outfit the night before but now it just didn't seem right.
'This looks like shit on me!' she then decided on a black mini-skirt and a hot pink tank top. She didn't have any shoes to match. She quietly tip-toed into her mother and step father's room and walked into the closet.
'Shoes, shoes, shoes, ah-ha!' she had found what she wanted cute black flip flops with hot pink flowers.
'I knew that she stole these!' Courtney tip- toed out.
'Whew!' she knew that if she had gotten caught in there her step dad might have punched her. He had this weird thing with breaking and entering.
Jason grabbed a pair of faded jeans and a white tee- shirt. He pulled the shirt over his broad, golden shoulder. Then he grabbed his new sneakers and slipped them on. Then he walked down stairs to eat breakfast. There was A.J. sitting in a chair smirking to him.
'So you are going for the grungy look this year. Well at least that will turn off some of those girls!'
'Shut up A.J. , just because I am not dressed in some loser die and suit doesn't mean that I am going grungy, and there is no reason why girls wouldn't like me!' he smiled at this last comment, he knew that he was one of the most popular guys among the girls but he never acted upon it.
'Alright you two, the limo is ready!' grandfather called into the kitchen
Courtney wandered into her mom's room. She silently tapped her mother and her mom knew it was time to get up and take her to school.
'Yeah alright I am coming' she crawled out of bed and walked towards Courtney. 'Hey how did you get those flip flops? They were in my room!'
'Mom I needed them for my outfit and they are MINE'
'What ever! you know we aren't in California anymore, do you think that is the right outfit, I mean yesterday you had that nice sweater picked out….'
'MOM, this is what I am wearing' Courtney was pissed, she was mad about going to a new school, about her mother's husband and life in general. No one could possibly make her day any better.
2. School Daze Part I
Jason stepped out of the limo with A.J. right behind him. Jason was immediately checked out by a group of girls that he had never seen before, must be freshmen he thought. A.J. returned the favor by calling out to one of them.
'Hey sweetie wants to ride home with us today?' Jason was utterly embarrassed already he was trying to pick up girls. The girls giggled but didn't answer.
Courtney walked in and she could tell that the guys couldn't help but notice the new tan, blonde hair and blue-eyed girl who had come to the school. She walked into room number A401 her homeroom; she greeted the teacher and took her schedule. Then she quietly sat down in a corner back row seat and started to look over the schedule in front of her.
'Hi, I'm Carly. Are you new?' A pretty brunette leaned over to Courtney's desk.
'Yeah, hi I'm Courtney; umm do you know where room B200 is?'
'Too, do you have math first period too, that is where I am going, just follow me!' Just the Courtney saw an Italian boy outside the hall way waving to Carly, Carly let our a little yelp and left the room to talk to him. Courtney was once again by herself.
Jason dragged his feet to his same old familiar homeroom A401, he had the same homeroom all of high school and now in his third year he was kind of tired of the same old people, his homeroom never seemed to get the new kids. As he walked in he saw her, someone new, who could this pretty girl be, she was so tan, her eyes were sparkling blue, like ocean water and her hair fell perfectly just past her shoulders.
Courtney saw him as soon as he walked in, a tall, golden guy with perfect blue eyes and hair that looked only to touchable. He was looking at her every second, it was almost like a game he would look at her, she would look up to catch a glimpse at him, he would look down, and then look up and she would look down. They never let their eyes meet but they could both feel the other.
Carly walked back in and could see it right away; Jason already seemed to be in love with Courtney. Carly and Jason had been best friends for a while now, ever since the first day of 9th grade when Jason had been more excited about school and less attractive.
'So you think that the new girl is cute do you?' Carly surprised Jason who was looking Courtney up and down since she had stood up to walk over the tissue box. He jumped and then turned to Carly.
'And what if I do?' he asked with a smile.
'Well then we may just be able to arrange something, hey what do you have first period?'
'Hush, math in room B200 who-' he was cut off.
'PERFECT' Carly was so excited, now all four of them, Jason, Courtney, Sonny (the Italian boy) and her all had math this was going to be a better year then she thought.
' Alright class, everyone settle down my name is Mrs. Spencer, now we are going to pass out lockers, as you all must have noticed we have a new member of the Spencer club and that means we need new lockers OR someone can volunteer to share their locker with her.
At this last statement Jason thought share my locker with her……how perfectly wonderful would that be, then she would have to talk to me. But then she might want to hang up pictures of GUYS and then have flowers everywhere. Ohh what am I talking about, this is the girl of my dreams.
'I will!' Jason half said and half screamed this.
'Ok, someone in our club is feeling very social today, and thank you Jason for volunteering.' Mrs. Spencer laughed at this.
'Carly I don't even know him, what am I going to do?' Courtney was worried about this new arrangement.
'Breath Courtney, Jason really isn't that bad he has been one of my best friends for the last couple of years, and besides he is CUTE'
'Well of course he is' Courtney smiled at this.
'Well then stop worrying and let's get ready for math!'
'Ok, well I guess I will find you after I go to my locker.' Courtney walked out in the hall and followed Jason to what must have been their locker. She liked the sound of that, their locker.
3. School Daze Part II
'Thanks for letting me share with you, it was really nice.' Courtney gave him a flirtatious smile.
'No problem' as soon as he saw Courtney smile that was it for him, it was all over, he was done for, and he was in love. 'So where are you headed too?'
'Math, what about you?' Courtney already knew the answer of this but she figured she would ask.
'Math too. So do you want to walk with me?' Jason smiled with a plead.
'As long as you are walking with Carly too….' Courtney smirked she knew that she was killing Jason by not giving him a straight answer.
'Of course I am' Jason hadn't really planned on it but she knew that it would be ok.
'Well then lets go!' with this she grabbed his hand playfully, then let go and saw the look on Jason face.
As she grabbed his hand Jason could feel his insides turning, when she let go he only wanted to touch her again feel the warmth that he felt at her touch. They walked up to Carly and started to head towards math. On the way they picked up Sonny along with some boys trying to get Courtney's attention, and some girls trying to get Jason's. Every time a guy started to look at Courtney Jason wanted to just grab her around the waist and scream I got her first suckers! They entered the room and then Jason saw him, Jax, he was looking Courtney up and down.
As they walked in Courtney saw her, some girl looking at Jason like she was a lion on the prowl. Courtney immediately wanted to kill her; she wanted Jason for her.
'Well class today we will just introduce our selves and then you guys can converse among yourselves.' Their teacher Miss. Smyth told them with a smile.
Yes, converse, now Jason and Courtney can really get to know each other. As long as Jax and Mary stay away, everything is going to be great.
As class went on the teacher wrapped up and then there was the time to converse. Courtney turned around to Carly and Sonny who were deep in conversation. So Courtney turned to Jason.
'So are you from around here?' Courtney asked
'Yeah, umm have you heard of the Quartermaines? Well that is my family. We are crazy, how about you, where did you move from?'
'Ohh, I am a California girl.' Courtney said with a smile.
'Wow, are you like a surfer, did you witness a crime, is your name really Courtney?' At this Carly turned hearing Jason question Courtney.
'Jason, please just because she lived in California doesn't mean that she comes from the streets!'
'Sorry, I got a little carried away'
'That's ok, I don't mind. No I didn't witness a crime, and yes my name is Courtney and no I am not a surfer. But do you still like me?' she meant this as LIKE as in LOVE but she covered it as just a friend thing.
When Courtney said that Jason knew that he could answer this in multiple ways, so he decided that he would answer it in the way he should, as a friend, he would save the other way for the car ride home.
' yeah of course I like you still, and would you like to ride home in the limo with me today, you can either come over my house or we can drive you straight home.'
'I would love too, and going to your house would definitely be better then going home to the hell I live in.'
'Well you can assume that until you get to the house.' Jason said, and then he wondered, what she lives like, could she have a horrible life, could he help. But she had said yes about the limo and she was going to his house.
4. School Daze Part III
The school day dragged on for the both of them, they came to find they had art, science, English, history, and math (obviously) together. At the end of the day they both got all of their books out of their locker and walked out. At one point Jason went to grab Courtney's hand, she's mine everyone, get away, just leave us alone! Is all that he wanted to say as boys checked her out while she walked down the hall?
Courtney was so excited; she was going home with Jason. As they walked down the hall he tried to grab her hand and hold it but she just wasn't ready, besides she wanted to see him really suffer, try to get him to totally respect her before she let it go any further. When they got to the car Courtney got her first glimpse of A.J.
'Who is that?' she asked Jason
'My brother, A.J.' he grumbled back at her. He had totally forgotten about him, only he could totally ruin things for Jason and Courtney.
'WHO is this?' A.J. asked when Jason and Courtney walked up.
'I am Courtney.'
'Well hello….' With this A.J. stuck out his hand hoping that she would take it, to shake it. When she didn't take it he coolly slide it back the his side.
'Let's get in!' Jason saw the disgust in Courtney's eyes and the want in A.J.'s.
'Sounds good' Courtney was glad that Jason had said that and not her.
First Courtney climbed in, then Jason, and then A.J. They drove in silence when they arrived at the house Courtney gasped, ' wow...'
