Welcome to Rydell High! It's 1959 in sunshine-filled California. Kathryn starts public school at Rydell after a big move from her rural town due to her behavior. When her mother enrolled her into Rydell, she had no idea that this would just empower...
I sat on the plush carpet surrounded by tall, dark wooden walls. I flipped through a stack of records while my head remained in the clouds as Leo chatted outside with a few of the guys. Scorpion business was definitely not any of my business; he would tell me this. I had accepted my place in his big and bad world.
Leo has a divine collection started up here in the back room. I spent a ton of time spinning about by the record player or reading and writing near the window light these past few months.
I pulled out a cigarette after selecting my desired soundtrack for this moment in time. I slowly stood, maintaining balance on my bare feet while holding the vinyl, placing it on the turntable beneath the needle. Just as the first beat hit, I heard the rather rusty door hinge squeak at the front of the house. I smiled at how the day had played out so far. I'd spent all the time in the world with my love.
My toes tapped at the warm carpet and I began to dance in my little nook. Sun rays beamed in and my red bell dress shimmied along with me.
Footsteps entered the room but it didn't bother me much. I kept jumping and twirling like I was simply insane.
I felt his arms arm around me from behind. He hummed against the back of my head, his lips then pursed to press against the back of my head. His body stood warm like a fire behind me from the summer heat.
I twisted myself around in his grasp, resting my own arms upon his shoulders and continued my little dance performance singing along to the tune. My eyes were closed and heavy and slowly made our way around the room.

I'd flicker my eyes open every few moments to peer up at him. I'd admire his eyes and the way his fair fell styled like he was the coolest cat I had ever laid my eyes upon. I'd admire they way his hands held me tightly at my hips, I could feel the pressure of his fingertips send electric shocks through my legs to my hopping feet. He'd call me his bunny and I'd call him my sun, my moon, and my stars; my love and my first love.
Suddenly, I felt a cold puff of air sending goosebumps over my skin. I tried pressing myself closer to Leo but when I tried, he was gone. Everything went dark.
I blinked trying to change the image in my mind. I tried to make something appear
My body still cold, I reached my hand out.
I was aloft in my bedding in the pitch black of my room. I was unraveled from my blanket and sheets and the fan was then puffing air onto my bare skin head to toe.
Covering myself up, I threw both hands up into my hair, pressing on my temples. I had so badly wanted to rewind that dream. Those days were undeniably great days that would come and go like the seasons, but it was no longer my life. He was no longer mine at all and I'd never be that same girl, feeling so free and crazy.
I'd been asleep for a while. I rubbed at my eyes. There was school tomorrow and it was time to face the music.
