Millville, New Jersey...

A group of guys were skating around at the local park. One of them, a boy with long, brown, curly, hair headed over to a bench. His friend's stopped, "Don't do it, Will," one of them shouted. "That's not a good idea, man," another said. Will smirked, went faster, ollied, kick-flipped his board twice, and landed smoothly. "Yeah!" he said, victoriously raising his fist as he turned back over to his friends. Chuckling, they skated over. "Nice one, bro," Paul said, giving Will a fist pound as he skated by. Smiling Will looked off into the distance. Something caught his attention; a cute, redhead, girl. She was sitting with her friend, looking at Will, whispering to her friend and giggling. Will smiled and skated over. He tossed his long, brown, hair to the side, "Hey, how ya doin?" he said, putting out his hand. "I'm Will." The redheaded girl smiled, "I'm Jacklyn," she said, shaking his hand, blushing slightly. Jacklyn had long, red hair that was black on the back, bright blue eyes, soft, pale skin. Will smiled warmly, and somehow when her bright blue eyes reflected in his brown ones, something just felt right. 

Pleasanton, California...

A young man, around 16 leaned against a wall, checking his cell phone clock every now and then. He had short, brownish black hair that was spiked in the front. He had deep, dark, brown eyes, a hard, well built, yet kind face and a strong overall body build. He wore black jeans, sagging slightly, a black belt with studs, and a black As I Lay Dying T-Shirt. Finally, the person he had been waiting for came around the corner. A girl with short, black hair came around the corner. She was wearing a small, black, silk sweatshirt, and tight black sweatpants. The boy, Nick, smiled warmly at her and hugged her, but she just kept her arms folded. "What's wrong?" he asked. "We need to talk," she said. Nick took a heavy sigh, he knew exactly what she wanted to say. He had been through this so many times. "I don't think it's working out...us," she said, a sad glint in her gray eyes. Nick took a deep sigh, looked up at the sky, then back at her. "Why? What happened? Did I do something wrong?" he asked. She shook her head. "Then what is it, Brianne? What is it?" Nick had been through this too much; heartbreak. "I...I don't know...it just doesn't feel like we're a couple, but more like friends." Nick sighed, took a deep breath. "I'm real sorry," she whispered. Nick looked up, with a slight smile. "Nah, it's cool, don't worry about it," he said. His eyes stung in pain, trying to hold the tears back. Brianne smiled, as though slightly relieved. "I'll see you later, then," Nick said, walking away. He walked back to his car, sat down and took a heavy sigh. He turned on his stereo, and let the music take him away. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander.

Back in Millville...

Will and Jacklyn were walking through the forest trail in the back of the park. It was early December, and the weather was just getting ready for snow. The last red leaves from trees rained down on them. They just walked down the trail, talking about life, music, the usual. "Skating is just a way to pass the time for me," Will said, "It helps vent the stress from school and writing music for my friend's band." Jacklyn looked at him, amazed, "You play an instrument?" she asked. Will smiled and nodded, "Guitar." Jacklyn smiled brightly, "That is so cool!". Will gave a warm smile, "What about you?" he asked. "I sing," she replied. Will looked stunned but still smiled, "Really? Well let's hear a song!". Jacklyn blushed, "Awww, come on!" Will persisted. Finally, laughing, Jacklyn nodded. She cleared her throat and began to sing her favorite song; Anthem by Superchick. Will didn't stop smiling the whole time. "That was really, really, good!" he said when she finished. She smiled, leaned against his arm, and held his hand. After a few minutes of walking, they came up to the pond. They sat down, leaning against a tree, and both were quiet for a moment. "Do you believe that dreams come true, Jacklyn?" Will asked. Jacklyn nodded, "Yea...why?" Will leaned in closer, and gently kissed her lips. Jacklyn closed her eyes and kissed him back. Everything felt perfect for those two.
