The Campbells

Chapter 1

RIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!! The alarm clock sounded so loudly that Monique jerked up from sleep. She's a happy girl in a happy morning. After getting up from bed and checking the time to see that it's 7:00pm, she looks at the calendar and suddenly realizes...
VACATION IS OVER and it's the first day of school! Students are resuming in Monique's year for twelveth grade and then it's bye bye Lakeville High school.

"Monique! Come down here now or you'll be late for your first day." Sylvia shouts.

"Coming mom."

Monique rushes off to brush her teeth, take her bath and then hops downstairs for breakfast. She greets her mom and dad then settles down in her seat. The family is having pancakes and maple syrup except for Monique's younger brother, Tyler, who's having cereal.

Monique speedily eats her breakfast and she and Tyler are off to school. The ride to school was a strangely quiet one as Monique and Tyler were lost in thoughts regarding their friends and the events that'll take place in Lakeville this year.

"Bye dad." Tyler and Monique say simultaneously as they alight the car at the school's gate. Luke waves back then drives off. As the siblings enter school, Tyler goes towards the direction of his locker and leaves Monique alone in the halls of "The Great Lakeville High school". The halls are bustling and everywhere looks busy and alive. Monique takes a moment to bask in the awe of it but us rudely awoken by a

"Boo!" She shrieks and turns around to see Jayden Majeure grinning wildly. He has been her 'bestie' since elementary. They go a long way back and she call him 'Jay'.

"Jay, what'd you do that for?" Says a flustered Monique.

"Still as freakish as ever, I see," he says then comes to her side, putting his hands over her shoulders. They walk the halls together.

"This is a new grade and I'm going to make the most of it. I'll try doing something crazy that'll leave a mark." Jayden says.

"Well hold on, Usain Bolt, this is just the first day." Monique tells him, giving him a look that has ' I'm tired of you' written all over it.

Tyler settles down for first period, rummaging through his bag unaware that Tanya takes a sit beside him. Tanya is the girl that Tyler has being crushing on, hard, for a very long time. The moment he takes out his notepad from his bag, he notices Tanya beside him and his heart is about to burst. He tries to play it cool but is not doing a very good job at it.

"Hey Tanya... Looking beautiful today... Not that you don't everyday... How're you doing... You obviously look okay... Why shouldn't you not be okay... not that you aren't... I mean you look okay... So you so be okay right?... So... How was the holiday?" He says and shuts up as Tanya shoots him a perplexed look.

"It was good." She replies.

Luke arrives at work and enters into his office. Nicole, who has a 'thing' for Luke steps in after him. She's wearing an above-knee-length skirt, a deep-cut, V-neck T-shirt, high-heeled shoes (a inch too high but she still manages to pull them off and walk comfortably in them. No one knows how she does it) and cherry lipstick. She is holding some files. Nicole walks down to Luke, puts the files on his table, looking sexy and sits on the table.

"Hey Luke." She says as she lowered her voice while leaning over to kiss him.

"Good morning, miss Winchell" Luke greets back as he backs away.

"Good morning," she moves closer, "How was your night?" She kisses him on his neck.

"Look, Nicole, I'm a married man. How many times do I have to tell you?"

"Look, Campbell, I don't care. How many times do I have to tell YOU!?" She just realized she rose her voice a bit and then tries to pacify him.

"Look, baby, let's not start today like this, we can be happy together and..."

"Nicole!" He raises his voice, pushes her unto a seat and holds her firmly by the shoulders then gives her a long, deep and intense kiss... That's what Nicole would have wanted to happen but...

"Nicole!" He raises his voice, pushes her unto a seat and holds her firmly by the shoulders.
"I do NOT..." saying the 'NOT' with so much clarity hoping she gets the picture. "...love you so don't try to play these games with me." He finishes saying and comes really close. They stare at each other, eye to eye, nose almost touching...

"Good morning, sir." Luke looks up and sees James, an employee, stating at them wide eyed due to their compromising positions.

"Mr M.D. sir, Mrs Johnson; the owner of the company..."

"I know who she is" Luke cuts him short and says a little bit more hostile,
"What does she want?"

"To to to...to see us all... immediately, sir." Says a-bit-frightened James.
"For a speech and address."

They all leave the office together. No one likes to keep Mrs. Johnson waiting...
