Chapter One
Kim's POV
There was something wrong with me. I didn't think it; I knew it. For the past ten years of my life, I have been assigned a seat next to Jared Thail. It took only one glance for me to fall in love with him. And that happened when I was six!
The crush I had on all through grade school carried on until the present, where I was in high school. We had a lot of classes together, but we only sat next to each other in one of them. And not once did Jared speak a single word to me. Heck, I think I can count on one hand of how many times he has even looked at me.
Now you see why I believe that there is something wrong with me? I bet that you even agree with me. Even my friends agree with me! Cora was the person who was the leader of the get-over-Jared-campaign.
My best friend, Cora, and I were in diapers together. Her mom dated my dad when we were babies, and that's how we met. Even after they broke up, we stayed friends. Of course, we plotted on how we could get them to together so we could be real sisters. Sadly that dream was abandoned when her mom remarried, Cora and me being twelve at the time. Cora's new stepfather is awesome since he treats the both of us like we were his own daughters.
Cora and I only had one class together this year, so we often got in trouble to talking constantly together. The teacher didn't mind that the students talked as long we completed good work on time, but the two of us didn't work as we talked. We often fell behind and turned in crappy work. I was always telling the teacher that art was something that could not be judged and graded because there was no right or wrong in art, and that everyone saw something differently than the next person. I can safely say that Mr. Cooper hated me.
Ironically enough, he loved Cora. That was probably because she was an amazing artist. But sometimes to make my ego feel better, she would purposefully turn in really bad work and "fix" mine. Did I have a best friend or what?
It was a regular La Push morning except for the fact that I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Cora was laughing at me from where she was laying on the bed, so calm and relaxed. I had spent the night at her place, and currently we were both late. I glared at her.
"Cora! This isn't funny! We are going to be late!" I wailed at her, searching her room once more for my left shoe. My left shoe always seemed disappear.
"Being late won't kill you!" Cora laughed. I threw a pillow at her face.
"But I can't be late for first hour!"
I cried in triumph when I found the sneaky hidden shoe. Cora rolled her eyes at me and groaned as she forced herself out of bed. She walked to the bathroom and shut the door. The sound of water raining down from the shower head filled my ears. Cora was most defiantly not a morning person.
Plopping down in front of her vanity, I started applying my makeup. I mainly only used a little eye shadow and mascara. I hated the feeling of lip gloss, so I only wore it when Cora made me. I was completely dressed and ready when Cora appeared out of her bathroom.
She was wearing a pair of personally-ripped jeans, a red tank top with black embroidery on the top, a black leather jacket, and knee high black boots. I have no idea how Cora manages to walk in three inch high heels, especially when it's raining. She marched over to the seat in front of the vanity that I had vacated and looked at me in the mirror.
"Are you really going to wear that?" She asked me, eyebrows raised.
I looked down at my outfit, confused. I had chosen to wear a yellow strapless dress that had beading around the waist and was laired at the bottom, a black vest and black flats. "Yeeeahhhh. Why?" I asked slowly, seeing nothing wrong with my outfit.
"You look pretty today." Cora shrugged her shoulders and went back to applying her makeup. I looked at her weirdly before shrugging my shoulders and walking downstairs to the kitchen. There, I found my second parents making out.
"Ewwww! My eyes!" I squealed, covering them with my hands. I heard them chuckle. "That is something a daughter does not need to see before breakfast!" I whined, peeking through my fingers to see that they had moved apart. I lowered my hands and shivered. "Can't you guys wait until, I don't know, after we leave?"
"But then how could we give you these scaring memories?" Cora's father joked.
I gave him the stink eye, continuing on with my normal breakfast routine. I was just finishing my cereal when Cora came bouncing into the kitchen. I handed her bag and a pop tart. She nodded her heads in thanks. We hugged Cora's parents goodbye, and we left for school.
My knee was bouncing up and down nervously. "Cut it out, Kim! We're going to make it on time! I wouldn't dare take time away from your Jared stalking time!" Cora laughed. I cracked a smile and punched her in the arm.
"Shut up," I said, looking out the window.
First hour, math, was the one class that Jared sat right next to me. It was also the class the I was currently failing in, even with Cora's help. I just couldn't focus with Jared sitting that close to me! Cora always teased me that I used that time to stalk Jared.
Of course, she was completely right about it. I had perfected the art of staring at someone all class period without them or the teacher knowing. Only Cora knew about my secret obsession of all things Jared-related. When I entered the classroom, Jared's seat was vacant.
The bell hasn't rang yet, I reminded myself. I carefully sat down in my seat, watching the door. But the bell signaling that class had started came and went. There was still no sign of Jared. That's when I started to get nervous.
I sent a silent thanks to the heaven when I heard that Jared had gotten sick over the weekend probably was not going to be at school the rest of the week. Misery then washed over me. What was I going to do now that I had no Jared to obsess over?
CHALLENGE TIME! Who do you think is Kim's godly parent? To help ya all out, I will say that it is her dad. I can't wait to hear what you guys think! Oh! And a shoutout to anyone who reviews!
