Chapter 1:
Audrey Nash was a 16-year-old junior in 1994. She’s originally from California but her family moved to West Sussex, England in 1987 when she was 7 when her father, Yanni Nash, who is an acclaimed journalist got a promotion to do reports around the world. Audrey Nash was born on May 6, 1978 to Yanni and Amanda Nash. Audrey’s upbringing was a great one. She had dozens of friends at school. She was especially close to Clarissa Ferrar.
Clarissa was the same age as Audrey. They even had the exact same birth date. Since they were 10, they had double birthday parties. Clarissa was from Oxford, England. Her father, Antonio Ferrar, was an Italian “businessman” and her mother, Brenda Ferrar, was a British scholar. Clarissa is very different from Audrey. She’s very spoiled and selfish and gets whatever she wants. Her parents are never home so she always hosts wild parties at her house doing very foul things from serving beers and wine to having crazy orgies in her bedroom. Though Audrey has always been against Clarissa doing these things, she remains good friends with her.
Yanni Nash, Audrey’s father, is an American journalist who has been acclaimed around the world as one of the best journalists of his time. He’s from San Diego, California but moved to West Sussex for business and education reason. Yanni married Amanda Keene in high school when they were both seniors. When they were in their late 20s, they gave birth to Audrey Carey Nash. Six years later, Amanda gave birth to Christopher Michael Nash. All the women in Amanda’s family had a type of cancer. When Amanda was 30, in 1981, she was diagnosed with leukemia. After getting the cancer removed, Amanda was told that she was cancer free. For 12 years, Amanda was fine. But in early 1994, the cancer seemed to come back, but this time it was way more severe. Amanda passed away only weeks after she was, again, diagnosed with leukemia. This deeply affected Audrey, who was very, very close to her mother.
“COME ON, CHRIS, OR YOU’RE GONNA BE LATE!” Audrey screamed from the bottom of the stairs while grabbing an apple. It was her first day as a junior. She was so excited to get back to school and see her friends again.
“SHUTUP, CAM!” Chris yelled back from the top of the stairs.
“Oh my gosh, dad, can’t he just take the bus?!”
“No! You’ve got a car so you’re gonna take him to school.” Yanni said calmly, while sitting on the couch, writing an article for the newspaper.
“What difference does it make in the first place?” Audrey took a bite out of her apple.
“Do you want me to take your car?” Yanni turned around to look at his daughter. Audrey rolled her eyes as her brother finally appeared at the bottom of the steps.
“Finally! Let’s go!” Audrey grabbed her keys and left out the door.
“Have a good day at school, you two!” Yanni yelled looking back at them from the couch.
Audrey and Chris were in the car.
“So… are you excited about the new year?” Audrey said, slightly looking at her little brother.
“Sort of… I just wish mom were here.” Chris said, looking down at his lap.
Audrey parked her car in front of Chris’ school. She turned the car off and turned to her brother.
“Chris. Look at me.” Chris looked at Audrey with a tear stained face.
“Mom IS here. She’s looking at us right now – from heaven. Don’t worry about her. She’s fine. She’s in the perfect place right now.”
“Really?”
“I promise.” Audrey gave her beloved brother a kiss on his forehead and handed him a Kleenex.
“Now clean your face. You don’t wanna go to school on your first day with tears all over your face.”
“Okay. Thanks Audrey.” Chris started getting out of the car. Just as Audrey was about to pull off Chris stopped her.
“Wait, Audrey. I love you.”
“I love you too, Chris.” Audrey blew him a kiss and she was off.
Audrey parked in parking lot #27 in front of Leonard High. She stayed in the car for a moment thinking about her mother. She sighed.
“I miss you so much, mom.” She clutched her rosary in her right hand, which was attached to her car keys, and got out of the car.
As she walked into the Leonard and claimed her schedule, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
“Hey.”
“Oh, it’s you.” It was Audrey’s ex-boyfriend, Jason Yorke. Jason and Audrey dated for two years (her freshman and sophomore years) until Jason’s football friends began to tell Audrey about Jason’s ‘sex’-capades with the cheerleading squad. She finally realized what was going on when she found him with a cheerleader in the guy’s locker room at school.
“What do you want?” Audrey began walking through Leonard High’s hallways.
“Well I guess I’m sorry and you know --” He stopped her and held her shoulders.
“Don’t you realize that every step I’ve taken was to bring me closer to you?”
Audrey just looked at him.
“Don’t you realize that that line is so old and lame? Please, leave me alone. I’m way better without you.”
Audrey walked away. She then found her first period class. Trig. She sat next to her best guy friend Brenden Young. Brenden was a reasonably tall boy, about 6’0”, 17 years of age. He looked a lot like Thom Yorke in 1996, especially with his very red spiky hair. Though he was pretty good looking, and many girls swooned over him, he didn’t date much. Brenden and Audrey have been friends since Audrey moved to England. They lived across the street from each other and their friendship has always been something valued though misunderstood by outsiders
“Hey Brenden!”
“Hey Audj. Did you move? I didn’t see you or your car in front of your house this morning.
“No I didn’t move. I had to take Chris to school. I thought you would’ve seen me.”
“Oh no. I didn’t.”
All of a sudden, a very tall, blur haired guy wearing black low top converse, jeans and a black polo with a white undershirt underneath, walked into the classroom. Immediately when he arrived, the classroom filled with chatter. The girls were commenting on how “hot” he was. The guys, how cool his hair looked. He sat next to Brenden.
“Hi. My name is Brenden.” Brenden looked at him, sticking his hand out.
“Hi. I’m Stuart. You can just call me Stu.” The guys shook hands.
“This is my best friend, Audrey Nash.” Audrey quickly looked at Brenden, then Stuart. Stuart couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
She managed to get out a ,“Uh…Hello.” She was thrown off a bit.
“Hi Audrey.” Audrey’s heart fluttered at the sound of his saying her name.
After class, Audrey ran out of the room. ‘Oh my god. He is so hot! Brenden’s a GOD for introducing him to you!’ She throught.
Later on that day, Audrey bumped into her BFF, Clarissa, in the hallway. The two began talking about random subjects.
“Brenden is just mad that we broke up.” Clarissa said, chewing a piece of Big Red.
“Clarissa, he broke up with you after he found out you were also dating Matt and George and Tyler! I just think that you should stop dating so many guys at once. They all seem to fall for you so quickly. Maybe you should date one at a time.”
“Bullocks! Have you gone mad? Date one at a time?” She pushed her brown shoulder length hair behind her pierced ears.
“Boys are like potato chips. You can’t have just one.”
“So we’re comparing boys to chips now?”
The girls walked to lunch elbows hooked together. They arrived at the cafeteria.
“So have you seen that new guy?” Clarissa said, sitting sown and pulling a granola bar out of her bag.
“Stuart? The one with the blur hair?” Audrey looked up from her lunch of bottled water and a thrown together salad. Clarissa looked at Audrey’s lunch.
“God, it must suck to be a vegan.” She took a bite out of her granola bar.
“Not exactly, miss energy-bars-for-lunch-are-healthy. But yeah, he’s in my Trig class, First period.”
“He’s really cute, don’t you think?”
“Yeah. He is. Leave him alone though.”
“Why?” Clarissa giggled.
Audrey looked up from her lunch. Clarissa stopped giggling. She smacked her teeth and rolled her eyes.
“Whatever.” She took another bite of her granola bar.
Audrey scanned the lunch room, looking for Stuart. There she found him. At the senior courtyard with Brenden and a few other guys.
“Watch my stuff.” Audrey got up and walked outside.
“Audrey!” One boy shouted.
“Hi Matt. Hi Brenden. Hi Stu.”
Stuart’s eyes danced on Audrey’s great figure. Her light blue baby tee, dark skinny leg jeans and light blue pumps drove him wild. Her jet black hair fell down the small of her back.
“Hey.” Stuart said with a smile. His sort of crooked teeth attracted Audrey even more to him, sending shockwaves down Audrey’s spine.
“Well, I’m a little hungry. How about you guys?” Brenden said, looking at Matt and the other guys, knowing the signal to “GO AWAY”.
“Let’s go get something to eat, shall we?” Brenden and the other guys went into the cafeteria while Stuart stayed with Audrey.
“So…” He said, sitting down at the bench.
“So…” Audrey repeated, sitting next to him.
“You’re American.” Stu said, shaking his head, laughing.
“Oakland, California to be exact. What’s wrong with that?” She said, pointing her nose in the air.
“Nothing. It’s just out of all the people I met here, you’re the only American. It’s pretty cool, I guess.”
“Yeah.” Audrey relaxed her head and looked at Stuart. She crossed her legs and moved closer to him, playing it off by fake coughing. Stuart laughed, knowing exactly what she was doing.
“So, I bet you got 1,000 love letters today.” Both Audrey and Stuart laughed.
“Sad thing about that is that I did. I got so many. I threw ‘em all away. None of ‘em came from the person I wanted ‘em to come from.”
Audrey looked at Stuart, surprised.
“Oh really… and who exactly is that?” Audrey said, a surprised grin dressed her face.
“Can’t tell you that.” Stuart smiled at her.
Audrey smiled even harder, knowing who it was.
“I was wondering…uh…do you have a phone number?” Stuart looked nervous when he asked.
“Of course, I do…” They both stood. Audrey smiled as she waited for the question she knew Stuart was going to ask.
“Can I…..call ya sometime?” Stuart looked really nervous now.
Audrey laughed. “Of course you can.”
She pulled out a pen out of his pocket and scrawled her phone number on his palm.
“Ring whenever.” She, then, placed the pen in his palm and walked past him, into the cafeteria. He watched her walk back.
She sat back down in front of Clarissa, who was now surrounded by a crowd of boys
“Clarissa, I’m gonna go.” Audrey picked up her stuff. Clarissa kept talking to the boys that surrounded her.
“CLARISSA!” Audrey looked hard at Clarissa.
“Oh okay. I’ll see you later, then!” Clarissa then continued to talk to the boys. Audrey rolled her eyes and left as the bell rang shortly after.
It’s now 4:00. The first day of school was over. Audrey ran out to the parking lot, pretending to look for her car. She was really looking for Stuart.
“Audrey!” Audrey quickly turned around to see that it was Brenden.
“Hey” Audrey ran towards him.
“What happened with you and Stu?”
Audrey began to grin.
“Well…you’ll see soon.” Audrey winked.
“Okay, Auj. I’m gonna head home. Where ya goin?”
“Home. I gotta go get Chris though.”
“Alright. I’ll talk to you soon. Yes?” Brenden then got into his car, started it up and drove off. Audrey soon followed. She left the school, picked up her little brother, and went home.
Yanni was at work, so he left a quick not in the kitchen to Audrey and Chris saying, “I love you. Goodnight.” Audrey walked into the kitchen and read it.
“Don’t know why he leaves those anymore. They say the same thing every time. We know he loves us.” Chris said, flopping down on the couch and turning the television on.
The phone rang. Thinking it was Stuart, Audrey wanted to grab the phone right then, but just in case, she waited a while.
“Hello?”
“Hi, is this Audrey Nash?”
“Yes it is.”
“It’s Stu.”
“Well hi Stu.”
“Hey. Wow.”
“What?”
“I can’t believe how much I missed you after I saw you at lunch.”
“Aww Stu. You don’t want me.”
“Why you say that?”
“You want that girl that didn’t get a love letter from.” Audrey knew exactly where she was going with this.
“I’m talking to her!”
“Right now?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh then… I must let you go.” Audrey knew he was talking about her. She just loved playing this game with him.
“It’s you, Auj.”
“Ooooh. How cute.”
“You’re taken, aren’t you.”
“Oh of course not.”
“Well, Friday, this girl is throwing this back to school party at her house. Wanna go?”
“Sure. I love house parties. Who’s throwing it? One of your ‘admirers’?”
“Ha. I don’t think so. Some girl named Clarise or something?”
“Clarissa?”
“Oh…yeah that’s her.”
“Dude, she’s like my best friend. Yeah I’ll definitely be there.”
“Okay, well I’ll pick you up at…around 9?”
“Sure. Okay.”
“Bye.”
“Bye Stu.” Audrey hung the phone up with a cheesy grin on her face.
“Who was that? Your little boyfriend?” Chris said, annoyingly, looking over the couch.
“For a matter of fact, it’s my soon-to-be-boyfriend, you little pickle!” Audrey fired back.
“EWWW!!!” Chris screamed over the couch.
Audrey ran upstairs, so happy she tripped on the fourth stair.
“Ha! Who’s the loser moron now?” Chris said, flipping through the channels.
“Oh shut up, you dummy!” Audrey walked up the rest of the stairs. She flung her door open and slammed it closed. She flopped on her bed and began to daydream.
MEANWHILE…
Stuart was at home at the circle dinner table in the dining room with his parents.
“And, dad, she has long, black hair, she’s tan and she even smells good.” Stu put his fork, covered with steamed vegetables, in his mouth and chewed.
“Okay, son. You’ve talked about this girl for an hour now. It’s -”
“She’s not just ‘this girl.’ She’s….Audrey Nash.”
Stuart’s eyes could’ve practically had hearts in them.
“Okay. Audrey Nash is not the only girl you’ve dated, Stuart.” Stuart rolled his eyes and continued to eat.
“Yes, she’s not.” Stuart’s mother, Rachel, walked into the dining room from the kitchen, a bowl of mashed potatoes in one hand and a plate of salmon in the other.
“How about that girl…..um…..Denise Meriwether.” She said as she placed the plates on the dining tables and sat down in her seat.
“You completely fell head over heels for her and she ended up telling you that she liked you as a brother and that she was dating her best friend. And what about Shawn and Brenda and Marissa and Christina and -”
“MOM!” Stuart shouted.
“Don’t…please.” He shot her an angry look.
“Alright.” Rachel rolled her eyes and began putting some food on her plate.
“Stuart -” David looked at his son. Stuart looked back at him, vulnerability painted his face.
“This girl seems very nice…and we would love to meet her. Right, Rach?” David shot a nervous smile at his wife.
Stuart looked at her and raised her eyebrows.
“Oh, of course, honey.” She said smiling, giving David the same nervous look.
Stuart smiled back at his dad, then at his mom.
