Hey all this is a small side story I'm working out consisting of only a few chapters (3 to be exact). I am still writing for my other story Not Since You and this is just a story that has been on my mind for a while so I felt the need to just write it down. So enjoy ...

Against The Sun

PART 1

Kim sneaked a peak from where she was only to be greeted by brown eyes and a smirk. Her eyes jarted back to her chemistry textbook which she was supposed to be reading. It was stupid, idiotic, completely embarrassing and not to mention totally pointless.

She had against all odds become infatuated with resident bad boy Jack Brewer. Yes, Kimberly Ann Crawford, head cheerleader, president of the student body and editor of the school newspaper, is totally crushing on Jack.

Jack who would rather 'chew his arm off' than listen to a single word the principal said, who would rather ditch classes to get high with Jerry than be in actual classes, who could vulgarize the most shortest sentence and add in sexual innuendos that can make a nun turn so red that people all the way Europe might stop and stare.

Kim had reasoned with herself everyone falls for the bad boy, it's no big deal just as long as you don't act upon it. And she didn't. So what if she sometimes took a slide glance and imagined running her fingers through his hair and lips and ripped body…

Oh My God, you stop that right now Kimberly Kim reprimanded herself. She had just imagined touching his chest. Her eyes were glued to her textbook as her cheeks started to become red with embarrassment. If anyone were to take the slightest notice of her they would probably think she has a seizure or something like that. She probably looked like a tomato. And she was pasty. Tomato paste.

Stupid Jack for making her face red. He wasn't that good looking anyway. Well that was a lie. She knew it, everyone knew it heck he really knew it. If he didn't think that school functions were a waste of time and went to a dance or something he would probably be voted King. They might even be queen and king together. Kim wasn't stupid, she knew she was good looking and that may sound conceited. Still there were other very pretty girls, some even prettier than her but Kim always prided herself in becoming everything.

She had taken acrobatics since she was five, only god knows why she can't dance to save her life when she can do routine after routine perfectly. She had tried out for the local town choir only to withdraw when her mother told her to go become a tutor. She could write, she could sing, she could organize event to the tiniest minute detail.

So why the heck was she infatuated with Jack?

They would not go well together, they were like peanut butter and pickles, totally gross and unable to complement each other. It was like she was day and he was night. It's not like one of them could go against the flow of things. It would be as if they were going against the sun. Yin and Yang. That was probably a wrong comparison Kimberly thought.

Besides he likes girls, a lot of girls. She occasionally saw him hang around with some of the sluts. Harsh Kim, she reprimanded herself, maybe they are good people, you never took the time to get to know them. Well Janice did talk about sleeping with both Jerry and Liam in the girls' locker room she thought wryly and Kara talked about doing it like there is no tomorrow and Sue…Focus Kim.

The bell rang signaling the end of class. Kim looked up and sighted, he already left. She collected her things and left. She shouldn't think about him, he was a heartbreaking jerk everyone said. There were plenty of nice guys in school and when she meant nice she meant not a complete jerk. All the good ones were taken and the remaining she felt nothing but friendship for. Maybe she should just date after high school, guys were supposed to be more mature as they grow older right?

Kim was so contemplated on her thoughts she didn't realized she bumped into someone until she fell. And just like that the noisy school hallway turned deadly silent. Her friends were not even helping her up why is that? And as she looked to see who she bumped into she knew why. The two worlds finally collide. Over achiever Kim Crawford say hi to resident bad boy Jack.

"Sorry," Jack finally said after a period long of silence.

"No it was my fault, I should have seen where I was going, I didn't injure you right?" Kim said

"No," Kim could see the amusement in Jack's eyes. Her hurting him? As if. She started to pick her book and other things of the floor. It didn't escape her notice that he was helping her gather her stuff as well as his.

Once they were both up, Jack took the chemistry book from her hand and handed over the other one, "I think that's yours."

"Thanks"

Total silence, come on people in the hallway be noisy.

"Well see you around Crawford," and with that he walked away.

Kim stayed rooted for a second before walking away quickly, her face red with embarrassment. She wanted to go home or dig a hole and bury herself in it. Still she reminded herself that she had classes. So she was going to go to classes, eat lunch with her friends, attend more classes and then head for cheerleading practice. After that when she reached home she could watch her favorite movie while eating ice cream and forgetting that today even happened.

At least he knew her name. If Crawford counted that is.

Done with the first chapter, what did you guys and gals think? Anyway as I said before this is a really short story, like I only planned three chapters of it. Anyway till the next chapter :)
