Moonlight Serenade

Chapter 1
Mike Kinkaid sat in the high school Commons, watching his dream girl, Michelle Jones, talking to her friends. Michelle was most high school boys' fantasy girl. She was the head cheerleader, tall and with a figure that made her look like a walking wet dream. Furthermore, it didn't hurt that her parents were the richest people in town. Her father was the town banker and her mother was the head of the social set.
Mike let out a sigh. He knew he didn't have a chance with her. He was one of the invisible people; not really belonging to any of the social sets of the high school. He wasn't one of the A-crowd; the athletes, the nerds, the brains, or one of the stoners. He was just your average Joe. He was a B student. Not really excelling anywhere, he was just common. His parents were middle-class. He didn't drive a fancy car, and he had to work for any spending money he needed. One thing that he did excel at was that he was very mechanically inclined. He was the one that if something was broken or your car needed to be fixed, he was the one everyone came to.
Mike was just sitting there daydreaming when he felt someone lay his hand on his shoulder. Turning, he discovered it was Chuck Johnson, his best friend. Chuck had been his best friend since the second grade and was also his next-door neighbor.
"I see you're sitting here gazing at Michelle again. Man, if Brad Davis sees you doing that, he's going to pound you into a greasy wet spot."
Mike looked at his friend. Chuck was everything that Mike was not. He was tall and stocky in comparison to Mike's average looks. He was also a straight A student, and was a defensive tackle on the school football team as well as the pitcher on the baseball team. His parents were equally important middle-class like Mike's but that didn't seem to make much difference. He could go out with any girl he wanted, but he never seemed to want just one of the girls more than two weeks at a time. Since he also had to work for any spending money, Mike had helped get him a job down at Jupiter Auto Wrecking pulling parts and stripping cars.
