Mickie POV

I was glad that Merci was going to be a friend; she was really nice. She also already stood up to the idiots. I was really starting to like her; we were going to hang out after school tomorrow since she couldn't tonight.

"I think she is nice." Kelly said and we all agreed as we left the mall.

"Yeah, did you see the way that Evan was staring at her?" Tiffany asked.

"I know, but Jeff was like stalking her." Melina said and we were all laughing.

We hung out a little longer before going home.

Merci POV

I got up and Mickie picked me up for school the next morning. I didn't mind not driving since we were going to hang out at her house. I made sure that I grabbed a swimsuit since Mickie mentioned surfing.

I was glad that I had dressed similar to Mickie. I was in capris, chucks, and a tank top; I wore nothing like this to my old school. I kind of missed by old school just because I missed my friends.

Mickie went to the office and I went to my locker. I was trying to get it open and it wouldn't budge. I finally kicked it and still nothing.

"If you are nice to it then it might open." A voice said and I turned to see a blonde headed guy with blue streaks running through it, with a 5 o'clock shadow, and very muscular. I remember him sitting at the rejects table with some guys when Kelly was telling me about the different table.

"Please, show me how." I said and he smiled. I watched as he hit it and it popped open.

"How was that any nicer than what I did?" I asked him.

"You just have to know how to be nice to it." He said again and I laughed.

"I'm Jeff." He said.

"I'm Merci, but you probably already know that." I said and he nodded.

"We all know who you are." A guy said from behind Jeff, I saw two guys standing behind him.

"I'm Matt and this is Alex (Shelly)." Matt said and I smiled at them.

"Come on, we gotta get to class." Mickie said as she grabbed my arm on the way by. I just waved and walked off with her.

"Why were you talking to them? They are the rejects?" she asked me.

"Um, Jeff, helped me get my locker door open and they don't seem that bad." I said and Mickie just rolled her eyes as we walked to class. I could tell it was going to be interesting making friends, especially since people apparently carried labels with them.

We went through our classes that day and lunch was another encounter with the idiots. I just brushed them off and talked with my friends. I noticed more people today and they started to look familiar since I was in class with a lot of the same people in all four classes.

I was glad when school was over. I walked with Mickie to her car and we left to go to her house.

"Come on, let's change and go to the beach." She said and I didn't object. I just changed, put on flip flops, and grabbed a tunic. We walked out her back yard and there was the beach. I was so not used to it being like right there. She lived right down from the public access beach so she knew that we would see a few people we recognized.

"Do you surf?" she asked me and I shook my head no.

"Never even tried." I said and she just laughed at me. They all thought I had an accent and I thought they had one.

"Mickie!" I heard a guy yelled and we saw Evan and Phil coming towards us. I recognized them from school.

"Hey, guys, you remember Merci." She said and I just smiled at them.

"Hey, Merci." Phil said and Evan smiled at me.

"Whatcha doing?" Evan asked us.

"We are about to surf, well, I am going to teach Merci how to surf." She said and I knew I was turning red from looking stupid.

"Want company?"Evan asked.

"Sure." Mickie said and I just stood there.

"Come on, let's get in the water." Phil said.

Evan POV

I knew that Phil had a crush on Mickie and Merci was pretty cute. I was glad when Mickie agreed to let us hang out with them. We all just stripped and we were walking into the water. Merci seemed really shy, so I walked over to her.

"You ok?" I asked her.

"Homesick and I am not so sure about the surfing thing." She said and I just smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I am sure that Phil will keep Mickie pre-occupied." He said and I saw him throwing her into the water. I just nodded and laughed.

"Do you at least want to get into the water?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Come on, get a board and we can at least paddle out." I told her and she nodded.

We paddled out there and we were sitting on the boards. We could see Mickie and Phil flirting on the beach and Merci seemed really quiet.

"Where are you from?" I asked her.

"Tennessee." She said and I smiled at her.

"Do you like it here?" I asked her and she shrugged.

"It's just really different." She said and I nodded.

"Is everyone at school so concerned about labels?" she asked me after a minute and I laughed.

"Yes and no, we have so many new kids come and go from the Navy that the labels are just a way to keep up with people. I know that Phil and I are jocks, but we aren't what most people think. We aren't self absorbed or anything like that, and I don't have a rule about who I do or don't hang out with." I said and she nodded.

"At home, we just hung out with whoever we got along with." She said and I nodded.

We were sitting there letting the waves roll beneath us and she was staring at the beach.

"Hey, Evan?" she asked and I looked at her.

"I think that Mickie just replaced you." she said and I looked at the beach. Mickie and Phil were kissing and I just rolled my eyes.

"Finally." I said and Merci was laughing.

"Hey, guys." I heard someone say and I saw Eric (Young) paddling over to us. I waved him over and A.J was with him.

"Hey, you must be the new girl I hear about, I'm Eric and this is A.J." Eric told her and she smiled.

"I'm Merci." She said and they smiled at her.

We were all sitting there talking until Mickie and Phil joined us.

"Finally." I said and Mickie blushed while Phil hit me in the arm.

"What?" I asked and he just rolled his eyes.

We all sat out there and talked for awhile.

Merci POV

I was having fun talking to everyone, but I was getting hungry.

"Mickie, you about ready to eat?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Yeah, hey, we are going to cook a pizza at my house, you all want to come?" she asked them.

"I'm there." Evan said and Phil agreed. Eric and A.j couldn't they had to be somewhere.

We all swam back and went to Mickie's. I was just glad that I had brought extra clothes. We were changing in Mickie's room and she was just smiling.

"You must really like him." I said.

"Yeah, and I think that Evan likes you." she said and I shrugged.

"I don't know." I said and she smiled.

"It won't hurt to get to know him." She said and I shrugged. She was laughing at me as we went into the bonus room. I had fun hanging out with everyone and I was glad that I had made friends. I left and went to my house.

I walked in the front door and was trying to avoid my drunk father.

"MERCI!" he yelled. I sighed and put my things at the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes, dad?" I said as I went in there. I was greeted with a hand smacking me across the face.

"You were late." He slurred.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"Get upstairs now!" he said and I passed my mom on the way up the stairs.

"Merci, are you ok?" she asked me, but I just brushed past her and went to my room. '

Dear Diary,

I am glad that I am meeting new people and have new friends, but it won't last long if my dad keeps drinking. I have learned that no one wants to be friends, let alone date, the girl who's father beats her. I just hope that it doesn't get worse.

I have an awesome friend, Mickie, she is hilarious. I hope that I have more friends here than I did in Tn. Well, off to bed, it's late.

Jeff POV

I was sitting in my room and Matt was in his room when I noticed my neighbor was in there room. I looked closer and realized it was Merci from school. I couldn't help but watch her for a second, she was beautiful. I watched her until she disappeared into another room. I knew that it was wrong to watch her so I went back to watching the stars.

I was watching the stars when something caught my eye. I looked over to see Merci's window open and she was watching the stars as well. I wanted to say something to her, but I didn't want her to think that I was spying on her, so I just left her alone. I was just glad that we had the stars in common.
