Creak, creak, creak......
Rachel Green looked out at the sunset as she listened to the wooden porch swing in her backyard creak back and forth. It wasn't the most comfortable thing to sit in, but at least it gave her some time alone with her thoughts.
Her many thoughts.
Rachel felt as if she had all the time in the world to sit and think, because there pretty much wasn't anything else to do where she lived. Rachel lived in North Central Illinois: a tiny community of about 3,000 amongst a bunch of cornfields and other small towns.
The thing Rachel most liked to spend her time thinking about was her summer house in Wisconsin. She had so many great acquaintances up there and she absolutely loved every weekend she spent with them. Her best friend, Monica Geller, also had a summer house up there with her family, which was just down the street from the Greens'. The Gellers' lived in the second largest Illinois city, Rockford; a city which was so close but Rachel felt was so far away.........
Rachel was aroused from her daydreams by the bratty, annoying voice of her sister, Jill. "Dinner's ready, Rach!!! Get your fashion-obsessed butt in here!" Rachel laughed at her younger sister's sarcastic remark. Man, Jill could sometimes really get on her nerves. She had a thought about how Jill would always annoy her about having a crush on Monica's older brother, Ross, when it was perfectly clear she didn't have one.
Or did she?
Well, in a way, Ross was sexy......but she couldn't think about him now, she had to go eat. 'My food's getting cold by the second. I'll continue this thought when I get done, in my room' she thought silently to herself as she walked inside the house to the aroma of dinnertime.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel went to her room after dinner, flopping down on her bed after shutting the door behind her. As she hit the bed, she decided, like before, to pick up where she left off with her thoughts. That meant thinking about him some more.
'Okay, Rach. First of all, Ross? Why? He lives in Rockford for God's sake! It's not like you'd be able to see him that often. And secondly, he's your best friend's brother, and you don't want to ruin your friendship with Mon by getting all relationship-y with her bro. Thirdly, it's not like you and him hang out that much as it is.' Rachel thought to herself.
She had gotten herself so confused ever since that swing. That thought about her best friend's geeky, science-loving older brother had just appeared out of nowhere. She wasn't even sure it meant anything. "Oh, well, it was just a thought." Rachel told herself, and went out to the living room to watch T.V. with Jill.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A little later, Jill turned off the T.V. and yawned. Her and Rachel had watched two back-to-back episodes of Boy Meets World. "Well, Rach, I'm going to bed. It's getting late." She paused a little bit, and added, "Man, Cory and Topanga are such a cute couple. I wish I had a relationship like theirs." Jill let out another yawn before stumbling off to bed.
"Yeah, I wish I had that also Jill." Rachel mumbled to no one in particular, thinking about Ross for a split second. She shook it off and went to get ready for bed, and hopefully a sleep free of dreams about him.
[Yeah, so the first chapter's not that great. But trust me, it gets better.
