Kenickie's Girl

chapter 1

I just moved to California from New York because my mom is a model and it's easier for her to find work in Los Angeles.

I start my first day at my new school tomorrow. Rydell High School. I'm so nervous. God knows who will harass me about my mom modeling. The partial reason I left New York was because the boys used to taunt me about my mom.

They would bring things in for her to sign. And say that I had "a milf" for a mom. Which always made me and my brother, Ryan extremely uncomfortable.

I know it was worse for him since he's a boy but it made me just as uncomfortable. I decided to take advantage of being in LA and model too.

I have been doing it all summer since I got here and received some small gigs. It's honestly very exciting.

Next Day

My mom woke me up and I got ready pretty fast. I had on a nice plaid pleated skirt with a button up white top and nice shoes.

I got my backpack on and went downstairs and ate my breakfast with Ryan. My little sister, Lucy who is 3 was watching cartoons so I sat with her and ate with her.

I was so nervous to start school and meet new friends. I prayed the guys weren't creeps either.

My brother and I got to school on time and he left me for his friends he made at the beach over the summer. What a nice twin brother he was.

I walked the halls alone and found the main office and filled out all the forms I needed to.

As I finished I walked into the halls as I saw 5 boys walking my direction on the other side of the hall. I didn't look their way because I was afraid they would make fun of me for being the new girl.

I went to my locker and of course one of theirs was next to mine and they were all witnessing me struggling to use a lock.

I heard one of them say "need help sweetheart?" I looked at him and smiled. I said "yes please." I could feel four eyes staring into my soul. I was to nervous to look at any of them.

The boy showed me how to use the lock and I thanked him. He said "my name is Sonny by the way." I said "nice to meet you Sonny I'm Ellie."

He said "nice to meet you too Ellie, this is Putzie, Doody, Danny and Kenickie." I looked at all of them and I shyly smiled. I said "hi." They all said hi back and the way they all looked at me gave me butterflies.

My mom and friends always told me I was pretty but they made me feel like I was Bridget Bardot. Everyone says I am her look alike and now I felt like her.

A strong, powerful, beautiful woman.

I took a double take at Kenickie. He was kinda cute. He noticed my staring and they all did and started laughing. Sonny said "he doesn't bite." I laughed embarrassed and I smiled and I said "I'll see you guys later I better get to class."

They all said bye as I walked away and into a classroom full of people who stared me down.

The teacher made me stand up in front of the class and introduce myself. It was very awkward but the students were pretty friendly towards me.

I met a sweet girl named Frenchie who was willing to let me into her friend group which made me really happy. I finally felt pretty comfortable around lunch when I knew I had two options of friend groups to sit with.

I decided to be social and try and talk to Frenchy and her friends.

Frenchie and I walked over to her friends at the lunch table who seemed kinda judgey. Frenchy said "hi guys this is Ellie!" I smiled and I said "hi guys." They all said hi back and they all introduced themselves.

I didn't really like Rizzo. She came across as a mega fake bitch. But I just met her maybe I was wrong. Sandy was the sweetest. We got a long really well. She just transferred here from Australia.

Half of the time at lunch we were talking about a boy Sandy had met on the beach. Finally Rizzo said "what's his name?" She said "Danny, Danny Zuko." I smiled and just as I was about to say something. The girls started laughing.

Rizzo stopped them and cleared her throat. She said "maybe through miracles you'll see him again soon!" I wanted to say something but I didn't know what.

I said "um I have to go guys nice meeting you." They all gave me a weird look besides Sandy and Frenchy. They said bye and I walked off to try and find the guys I met earlier.

I spotted them siting on the bleachers outside but they hadn't seen me. I was walking behind the bleachers when I heard Kenickie say "yeah she was hot." Then I heard Doody ask "you think her jugs are bigger than Anettes?" Kenickie laughed and said "no one's jugs are bigger than Anettes." They all laughed but when they saw me walk up to them Danny shut them up.

Sonny smiled and said "hey Ellie, come sit with us." I said "okay sure." I sat down and we all made small talk besides Kenickie who was acting kinda strange towards me. He wasn't mean or anything he just got really quiet.

All of a sudden I heard him yell "hey asshole cut that out." I looked down and I saw some guy sitting below me looking up my skirt. I scoffed and punched him square in the face.

All of the guys ooed and the guy held his nose and ran off. He was one of those jocks on water break. What an asshole, I always loved jocks he was the opposite of the ones at my old school.

Kenickie said "are you okay Ellie?" I said "yeah I'm okay thanks." He said "any time." Danny said "I hate that asshole so much." Putzie said "those jocks are all gumdrops." We all laughed and it was time to head back to class.

Sonny said "want us to walk you to your next class?" I said "nah it's okay, I think I know where I'm going." We all started walking back to the school and Putzie said "are you coming to the pep rally this weekend?"

I said "I don't think so I don't have anyone to go with." Danny said "come with us." I said "are you sure?" He said "yeah, it will be fun." I said "okay."

Kenickie said "I don't know if I'm going, depends on how my car turns out." Danny said "what car?" He said "I got a car I'm fixin up. I saved money for it this summer."

Doody said "I can't wait for some free rides." Kenickie said "who said I'm giving you rides?" They all laughed and Kenickie jokingly hit Doody on the back and we all walked to our respective classes.

At the end of the day I met up with Ryan and we went home.

On the way home all I could think of was this pep rally and one boy in particular.
