And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
You just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible

Taylor Swift - Invisible


"Kim," Jared smiled. "You know you're beautiful right?"

"Jared…"

"I'm serious. You're the single most beautiful being I've ever come across."

I smiled into my drink. He'd organised this whole meal himself without me noticing. He'd told me he wanted some help with his Biology but when I'd arrived there'd been a candle lit dinner waiting for me. Honestly, he was such a romantic sometimes…

Jared took my hand under the table and looked into my eyes.

"I want to be with you, always." He whispered. "I love you Kim." He leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I opened my mouth and our breath mingled. I ran my tongue along the back of his teeth while he-

"Five minutes." Mr Taylor called. "Make sure you've checked your answers thoroughly for any silly mistakes."

I quickly snapped back to reality and back to my math lesson. I looked down at my test paper. Oh crap. I'd barely written anything. Looked like I was going to fail this test…

I sighed and giving up on my Math paper, I stared at the window. I watched Jared's reflection as he quickly finished up the last few questions. I was certain they'd be right. He was so good at Math. He was so good at everything.

How could he not notice how painfully aware of him I was?

I'd sat next to him almost everyday in every Math lesson for the last two years but he'd never really noticed at me. I couldn't blame him. He was so perfect and I… wasn't.

I saw his reflection shift in his seat. No, Jared Lebrun was way out of Kim Baxter's league…

"Okay pens down that's the end of the test."

I continued to stare at the window, my pen was already on the desk and my test closed. I watched Jared's reflection as he flicked the scruffy black hair out of his face and put his pen down on the desk. He gave a huge yawn showing right to the back of his throat and shook his head not unlike a dog to loosen up.

I sighed internally. He was so beautiful.

Mr Taylor collected up the tests and I turned away from the window back to face my desk.

"So Baxter," Jared turned to me. "I'd say that was pretty easy wouldn't you?"

I gave him a strained smile. Why did it always have to be last names?

"Actually I thought it was pretty hard…"

"Which bi-…" He began but was cut off by one of his friends, Joe, calling to him. The bell went and he followed Joe out the door, talking animatedly about some sports game on the TV last night. I was left forgotten.

I sighed, gathered my belongings and walked to the canteen.

"Hey Kim, bad morning?" Hannah asked as I slammed my bag onto my usual table.

"Like you wouldn't believe." I muttered and pulled my lunch out of my bag. I ate my lunch in silence, barely listening to the inane chatter of the others on my table.

I had just finished eating my first sandwich when Jared walked in, this time accompanied by another friend, Luke as well as Joe. They sat at their usual table at the side of the hall. I watched as they ate their food and joked together. I sighed. How I wished I could hear his lovely voice…

I was just about to turn back to my cheese and chutney sandwich when he stopped and looked up. I followed his gaze to see Chloe Sampson walk past his table. He quickly jumped up and offered to carry her books to her table for her. She smiled at him but shook her head and walked to her table alone. Jared sat back at his table looking defeated and his friends comforted him.

See, that's the kind of girl I'd have to be for Jared to notice me - tall, blonde and pretty. Everything that I wasn't. Everything that Chloe was.

Not that she even liked him back. Life was so cruel, sometimes.

"Give up on him already Kim." Louise sighed impatiently. "He's only interested in Chloe and he only ever will."

"Yeah it's been what? Two years now you've sat next to him." Hannah nodded in agreement. "Accept it. You'll never be good enough for him."

Anna, Mike, Sara and Chris nodded. I shrugged and said nothing knowing they were right.

Jared Lebrun was and would always be way out of my league…
