Chapter 1- New Places, Old Faces.

Dear Diary,

I just moved back to the other side of the island, where I was born, and raised for part of my life, up until Elementary school. We just moved into our new beach side home. I’ve missed it here so much. My old best friend, Brooke doesn’t know I’m back. I highly doubt anyone remembers me. Last time anyone saw me was in 5th grade. And I was only 10. Now I’m 15, soon 16. Eleventh grade now. The people who stick out in my head the most are Cory, Brooke, and Jesse. Cory and Jesse were best friends and loved by all. I had a crush on Cory while Brooke had one for Jesse. They would talk to us, but we didn’t hang out. I wonder if they remember me? Probably not. I wonder if Brooke will? Sure hope so. It’s my first day back to school, except I’m going to Destiny High. At least mine and Ryan’s family came together, so I know for a fact that I have a friend at school. Ryan is my friend from my old school. Both mine and his parents work together and got job offers here. He just happens to live next door. Well I better get to school, so I’m not late. Hope everything goes well!

Love Always, Heather

“Heather! Are you ready yet? Ryan’s waiting!” I heard my mom call from downstairs. I stuffed my blue diary into my bedside table and grabbed my bag and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I sighed. There isn’t anything special about me. Nothing unique, nothing to make me stand out from the rest; dark redish brown hair and blue eyes. I’m not super out going, but a lot more compared to when I was younger. I sighed again and walked down stairs.

“Hey Ryan.” I said with a smile. Ryan was a couple months older than me, so he’s already 16. His blond hair stood up in every way possible. His blue eyes were shining with mystery. Ryan’s probably 5 or 6 inches taller than me. I could tell by his smile that he was ready for school. He was going to be popular, just like he was at our old school.

“Hey Heather.” Ryan greeted me.

“Guys ready?” My mom asked. We nodded. We all hopped into my moms car. I gazed out the window at the scenery as we drove to the newest destination. It was so gorgeous here. My heart was pounding deep inside my chest since I was so nervous to go to my new school. I hate going to new schools, it was a real fear of mine. The car pulled up to Destiny High School. “Have a good first day back. Want me to pick you guys up?”

“That’s okay, mom. Thanks. Love you. Bye.” I said stepping outside.

“Thanks for the ride. Bye.” Ryan said. My mom waved good bye and drove off. We stood on the lawn, gazing at the school. DHS was huge compared to my old school. It was two stories with beige bricks. It was fairly new. They did build it 5 years ago.

“Ready?” I asked quietly. Ryan looked at me.

“Oh come on Heather, you’ll be okay. Hey, at least we got put in the same classes. You’ll do fine. We’ll always stick together, right?” He said with a soft smile, putting his arm around my shoulders.

“Right.” I said feeling a little better. “Thanks Ryan.”

“Hey, that’s what friends are for. Well, let’s go.” He said pulling me forward. “So do you think Cory, Jesse or Brooke will remember you?”

“Yeah right.” I said. “Possibly Brooke will. But then again, who knows if I’ll recognize her or if she’ll recognize me.”

“True. Hey, didn’t you say that Brooke was really pretty?” Ryan asked interested. I laughed watching him.

“Ryan! She was ten! She’s probably gorgeous beyond belief now.” I winked.

“You need to introduce us, Heather. Please!” He begged.

“I will, that is if she still lives here or even remembers me.” He smiled. By this time we had already entered the school. There were tons of students roaming around the halls and scrounging through their lockers.

“What room first?” Ryan asked looking around. I pulled my schedule our from my back pocket and looked at it.

“203.” I said. “So that’s upstairs.”

“What about our lockers?” He asked looking at his schedule. “Mine’s 214.”

“Mine’s 215. So again, upstairs.”

“Well, let’s go.” We walked up one of the stairways. “211, 212, 213, ah, 214.” We opened our lockers and got out our science books.

“Where’s 203?” I asked closing my locker and leaning against it.

“Down a couple classes, I suppose. We have a couple of minutes to spare before class starts.” Ryan said closing his locker. A very pretty girl with bright blonde hair and piercing blue eyes opened the locker next to me. She was probably an inch taller then me. I got up and accidentally bumped into a boy with chocolate brown spiky hair like Ryans. He never turned around to face me.

“Watch where you’re going.” He barked coldly. I glared at him as he walked away. Ryan started to head towards the inconsiderate jerk.

“Ryan, no!” I said grabbing his arm and trying with all my might to hold him back. The brunet’s friend turned around, while the jerk walked down the hall and into a classroom. His friend came up to us. He was just about as tall as Ryan. It looked like the two were about to rip each others heads off. The girl next to my locker stepped in, putting her hand up in front of them.

“Jesse, no.” She said firmly. ‘Wait, did she just say Jesse?’ I thought. I examined his features. He had aqua marine eyes and a very matured face for our age. He looked fairly strong as well. The one trait that stood out the most was his shoulder-length silver colored hair. The girl spoke up again. “Sorry about that. Cory’s just pissy and Jesse’s just helping out a friend. My Brooke is Brooke.” My mouth dropped open. I shook my head in disbelief. This was way too overwhelming to have all of them mentioned at once. I looked up noticing the three of them were looking at me. Ryan nudged me. I knew that he knew these were the people I told him about when we first met.

“Hi, I’m Heather.” I decided to see if they remembered me.

“I knew a girl named Heather, but she moved a while back. She was pretty cute, too. I remember Cory ha-” Jesse started before he was interrupted by Brooke elbowing him in the stomach.

“Jesse! She’s the same Heather!” Brooke yelled. She looked at me. “You did live here before right?” I nodded with a smile. “Oh my gosh! My best friend is back!” She said hugging me as I laughed.

“Wow, Heather. You look good.” Jesse said looking at me. I blushed.

“Heh, thanks Jesse.” I said after Brooke let me go.

“Is this your boyfriend?” Brooke asked looking at Ryan.

“Oh, no. He’s just my really good friend.” I said.

“Hi, My name’s Brooke.” She said smiling. Ryan stood closer.

“What a beautiful Brooke to fit such a beautiful person.” Ryan said with a warm smile. ‘Geez, such a charmer.’ I smiled. “My name is Ryan.” Brooke blushed the compliment.

“Well, let’s get to class.” Jesse said. “What room are you guys in?”

“Well, Ryan and I have group ‘B’ classes.” I said. This school system was strange. We were all divided into groups of 14 or so students. You would share classes with them, while a different group was combined with yours for each class.

“Same with Jesse and me!” Brooke said cheerfully. I smiled.

“Well, let’s go.” Jesse said. Ryan and Jesse walked in front of Brooke and me on our way to class.

“Ryan’s pretty good looking.” Brooke whispered in my ear.

“I know his style for girls and I can tell he likes you.” I whispered back.

“Really?” She replied excitedly. I nodded with a smirk.

“So why was Cory in such a bad mood?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Christy Jillings broke up with him.” Jesse answered.

“Who?”

“Christy is pretty, rich, and stuck up. She only went out with Cory to increase her popularity.” Brooke said rolling her eyes.

“Hey, Christy is okay once you get to know her. You just wouldn’t take the time.” Jesse replied. Ryan and I looked at each other.

“I didn’t want to know her.” Brooke retorted. We opened the door to room 203 and walked inside.
