Chapter 1
“Kevin Scott Richardson! I know you’re here somewhere so get your ass over here right now!” a female voice called. “It sounds like you’re in trouble.” AJ remarked. Kevin walked in the direction of the voice. What he saw surprised him. Standing before him was a girl. She was about 5’5” and had deep blue eyes. Her reddish blonde hair was pulled back in a bun. She was wearing black soccer shorts and a tanktop. She carried an Adidas® gym bag. “Uhhh hi.” he said. He was unsure of the identity of the girl. “You don’t know who I am do you?” she asked sadly. She began to sing Wind Beneath My Wings. Kevin squeezed his eyes shut as if that would make him remember easier. He glanced at her then the floor. He repeat4ed this before saying “Rae?” the girl grinned. “Oh my God! Rae! I can’t believe it’s really you. I missed you so much!” he exclaimed as he picked her up and swung her around. Kevin had always been the only person that was allowed to call her Rae. Kevin led her by the hand to the other Boys. She made eye contact with another girl and got a dirty look. * * * “Guys, this is Rachel.” Kevin said as he introduced her. “Kevin! There you are. I’ve been looking all over for you,” the same girl said as she planted a small kiss on his lips. “Rachel, this is my girlfriend, Kristin.” Rachel couldn’t figure out why the fact that he had a girlfriend surprised her. She’d heard he did but assumed they were only rumors. Kevin proceeded to tell the others how he and Rachel knew each other. The group was seated on the floor. “When was the last time you saw each other?” Howie asked. “My father’s funeral.” Kevin answered quietly. “Wait. You’re telling me this is the same Rachel that danced when we sang?” Brian asked. Rachel nodded. “Wow. You’ve changed,” he said. Kristin stiffened a little. “Oh. You’re a dancer too?” “Yep. And if it weren’t for Kevin I probably wouldn’t be. He’s the one that encouraged me to try it,” she said. “Kristin! Come here for a minute.” someone called. Kristin sighed and got up. “See ya later.” she said and left.
