A/N: Hey guys, this is a new story. I'm going to actually write this story with the characters and not the celebrities. I hope it's different from what I normally do and new from everything else y'all read.
Journal Entry:
She stood out in the crowd, was a little too loud
But that's why we love her
She's not like other girls
She could have conquered the world
Until you broke her down
As Kim walked through the doors of her new high school, she sighed. She didn't know these faces, or this town. When she walked pass everyone, they stared. They wasn't use to new kids, Kim tucked a lock of her golden hair behind her ear as she tried to keep her head up. She knew her way around the school already after spending the weekend in here.
She knew where her locker and classes were so she didn't need any help. Her only problem was being there and being the new girl. Kim got to her locker and tried to quickly open the door. "Oh look, it's a new girl." The most popular girl of the school Lindsay sneered. "I don't like new." Lindsay whispered in Kim's ear, making her shiver. "Please just leave me alone, I don't want any trouble." Kim plead, she wasn't afraid of being hurt – she was afraid of hurting Lindsay.
"You don't want trouble, well you asked for trouble when you spoke back without permission." Lindsay sneered again, slamming Kim's locker shut. "Lindsay why don't you just leave her alone?" Jack, Lindsay's boyfriend asked. He didn't fell like dealing with attention from the entire school this week.
"Once she apologise."
"I'm not apologising for something I obviously didn't do." Kim said defensively. "Do it or I'll dumping your head in a toilet." Lindsay yelled, hitting the locker. Kim looked around, seeing the crowd forming and then caught a look from Jack that looked sympathetic and then she saw Lindsay's face turning red which made Kim smirk.
"I stick by my word. No." Kim crossed her arms. Lindsay snapped her fingers having her two best friends; Donna and Lorie come next to her. "Dump the new girl." Lindsay grinned, walking away. "C'mon." Donna said about to grab Kim's arm but before she could; Kim flipped Donna on her back, Donna released a groan.
"Want to be next?" Kim asked Lorie, Lorie shook her head no before helping Donna up to run behind Lindsay. Kim opened her locker again and put her books in it thinking, this is gonna be a long year.
Three months later, Kim made a few friends while trying to avoid Lindsay who is doing whatever she possibly could to ruin Kim's life. It was lunch time and Kim was getting her lunch. "Oh look, it's Kim. I still can't believe she shows her face around here." Lindsay joked. "Sooner or later you won't be holding your head so high Kimberly!" Lindsay yelled at Kim. Kim shrugged it off and wondered what Jack even sees in that boppyhead. Kim rolled her eyes; she pushed that thought away as she walked to her table – forgetting for one second she had to pass Lindsay's table.
Kim was on the floor with gravy all over her shirt, she sighed and got up. "Real mature, an eight-year-old could of thought of that one." Kim smiled, picking up her tray and put it up. For the rest of the day she had gravy on her shirt. When she got home, she broke down crying in her bathroom for the fifth time this month. "How much longer can I take?" Kim asked herself, knowing she couldn't deal with it for long.
She was reaching her breaking point and she hoped it wasn't going to be in school. When she cleared up, she got out her notebook and started drawing. When she was done, she went to the mall to meet up with her friends.
Kim walked in the mall, finding her best friends Jenna and Mika. "Lindsay is here." Jenna frowned. "It's ok; she's probably with Jack making out somewhere." Kim joked, Jenna and Mika got it.
"I actually heard that Jack is planning on breaking up with Lindsay."
"Seaford bad boy? That's shocking." Kim did a pretend shock face having her friends laugh. Kim bumped into Jack. "Watch where you're going." Jack sneered, which reminded Kim of Lindsay.
"Sorry your highness." Kim said sarcastically. Jack was pissed at Kim's comment. "Don't fuck with me." Jack pushed Kim out of his way, walking away. "Hey!" Kim yelled, rubbing her arm. "What an ass." Jenna commented. "It's obvious that Lindsay rubbed off on Jack after being with her for five years."
"They are definitely meant to be." Kim rolled her eyes, cursing under her breath. They walked into Forever 21, scouting through the clothes. "Oh, look its Kimberly." Lindsay said behind Kim. "If it isn't the wicked witch of the west? I think the new face store is in the ocean, maybe you should go find it." Kim smirked, she knew she had good comeback but it hurt Kim being mean to others even if she was protecting herself.
"Can you even afford this? Last time I checked, Old Navy had a sale for hobos." Lindsay comeback was good and Kim knew it. When did she get better at being mean? Kim asked herself, "Maybe you should hop over there and they could give you a discount for new friends. You may need some since they might die from your ugliest." Kim smiled and walked away. She won this round but her stomach hurt really badly.
When Kim caught up with Mika and Jenna they brought a couple of outfits. "Hey, me and Jenna gonna go look at those new heels in Reflection."
"Ok, I'll go check out the boots in the new Doc Martens store."
"Meet up at the pizza place?" Mika asked and Kim nodded. "Text me when y'all done." Kim waved to them as they went their separate ways. When Kim got in Doc Martens, she plugged her headphones in her phone and put them on, listening to Sum 41.
When she finally found boots, she put her headphones around her neck and smiled to herself. "Perfect." She whispered, grabbing them. She looked at the size, and smiled wider. It was her size and it was the last pair. When she got to the cash register, and set them down. "Crawford?" A familiar voice asked confused. Kim took out her wallet and looked at the employee. "Brewer." Kim said, obviously pissed.
"Why are you here?" Jack sneered. "Oh, no reason for the fact I have a pair of boots on the counter doesn't mean anything."
"What girl buys boots around here?"
"I'm not from around here if you didn't notice the fact I've been here for only three months."
"Oh, right. Three months of hell for you, huh?"
"You summed it up." Kim said sarcastically. Jack rung up the boots. "$150."
"Keep the change." Kim handed Jack 200 and took her boots, stuffing it in her bag from Forever 21. When she was leaving, Lindsay walked in and went over to Jack. Kim stuck her finger in her mouth and pretended to gag.
When Kim, Jenna, and Mika got to the pizza plaza, they each ordered a slice of pizza. "Guess who I saw at Doc Martens?"
"Avril Lavigne?" Mika gasped dramatically. "I totally wish, but um Jack."
"You saw Seaford's bad boy at Doc Martens? Jack doesn't seem like the boots type."
"He's not-"
"Why was he there then?"
"He was working." Kim said, finally finishing her sentence. "Why would a hottie work at a store that doesn't even just a lot of costumers?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Most people here in Seaford want designer shoes and heels. Nobody really wear boots anymore. That store almost went out of business until you showed up. You are the only reason that store is opened, Kim."
"Aren't I special?" Kim was always sarcastic. "Well to that store yeah. The more you buy there, the longer it will be there and then people will probably actually start shopping in there. I'm honestly temped to shop there."
"So you can see Jack." Kim pointed out, which made Jenna's cheeks hot.
"Even if it's to see Jack or actually buy a pair of boots, I haven't been in there yet."
"We can go now. I still have some money to buy another pair." Kim said, taking a bite out of her pizza.
"Okay, c'mon." Jenna put her bag on her shoulder and Mika did the same, grabbing her unfinished pizza. When they got in Doc Martens, Jenna wow'd. "This is actually a pretty store."
"Don't talk about my favourite store that way." Kim jokingly warned. "Why are you back?" Jack asked, Kim turned around. "Why else? Not to make your life a living hell that's for sure." Kim said, taking another bite out of her pizza.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what I said Brewer." Kim smiled widely. "Are you referring to me? Because last time I checked when you came here I tried to help."
"When I came here all you did was told her to leave me alone, and what happened?"
"Well, I'm sorry ok?"
"Apology not accepted until you prove it." Kim said with a straight face, walking to the boots. "What was that about?"
"Nothing important." Kim rolled her eyes. Jenna sighed, "I don't even know, these boots aren't my style."
"It's not meant for everyone Jenna."
"Well, are you planning on wearing Doc Martins next week?"
"What's next week?" Kim looked at Jenna confused. "Well, it's the Winter Dance for the end of the year? I know we don't have snow but it's something to celebrate the holidays." Jenna smiled, shrugging a bit. "And if Jack and Lindsay break up, he'll need a date." Jenna grinned; Kim rolled her eyes for the second time.
"So, you want to be a rebound?"
"Don't think of it that way, think of it being better than Lindsay also btw if you didn't know all week we vote for the Winter Queen which Lindsay won last year. Great thing about being a sophomore."
"Well, I hope you win." Kim said a bit sarcastically. Jenna didn't realise it, going back to the boots.
"Jack, I have had it up to here with your problems! This relationship isn't all about you, it's about us!" Lindsay yelled, having Kim's and Jenna's attention turn to Lindsay's and Jack's conversation. "Can you keep your voice down?" Jack said a bit above his voice, looking directly at Kim.
"Why because you don't want your groupies to hear? Well, don't worry about it 'cause I'm breaking up with you!"
"Well, fine let's throw five years of our relationship down the drain because of some new girl!" Jack yelled, Lindsay gasped over dramatically.
"I am not breaking up with you because of Kimberly Crawford!"
"That not what you texted me!"
"You know what, she deserved everything I did to her and you don't deserve me!"
"Nobody deserves that Lindsay, nobody." Jack calmed down, sighing. "Just leave; I don't need this, ok? I'm working."
"For those pathetic losers, FYI I have a Winter Dance date, it's Randy. Why don't you ask Kim since you like her so much?"
"I don't like Kim."
"Should I say love then? Since you're always there to stick up for her but not me, your own ex-girlfriend!"
"Why should I stick up for the meanest girl in Seaford?"
"I'm mean now? You didn't say that when we were in my bed!" Lindsay screamed, storming out of the store. "Well, we founds something new out about mister bad boy." Jenna whispered to Kim, making them giggle.
"What are you laughing at?" Jack was pissed, knowing that they heard everything and how big of a gossiper Jenna is.
"I'm laughing at what just happened because you stood up to Lindsay which it new for you. I accept your apologise." Kim smiled, "C'mon girls. Let's go." Mika, Kim, and Jenna left the store and Jack had a huge smile on his face.
The next day at school, a lot of girls were lined up at Jack's locker; having the news about the break up already spread. Everyone knew that if you went with Jack anywhere, your name will be remembered in Seaford.
That's why Lindsay kept a tight grip on him because she didn't want anyone to become as popular as she is. But after five years, it would be hard to be anywhere close to Lindsay in popularity. Since she was the queen of middle school and the Homecoming, Winter, and Prom queen last year but Jenna was about to challenge these mere titles of Lindsay and do whatever she could to beat Lindsay.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kim said worried. "I'm positive Kim, I can do this." Jenna sighed and decided to be the only one to walk up to Jack who was with Carson and Brody.
Kim watched from her locker, with her arms crossed. When Jenna came back, she had a grin on her face. "So?"
"I'm going with Brody."
"What about Jack?"
"Someone already asked him."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Kim frowned, "Don't be. I'm going with one of his best friends." Jenna grinned, Kim smiled a bit. "You should go ask Carson."
"I don't want to go Jen."
"But you got to, Mika and Jerry are going."
"And I am not I rather go hang out in a store than go."
"Well, what if I somehow talked Carson into taking you what would you say?"
"Absolutely not, I won't go. The only person who could force me to go would be my boyfriend which I don't have, so no." Kim grinned.
"What if I cancel going with Brody and we go together?"
"No, I'm not trying to ruin this for you." Kim sighed, and then smile. "I can just stay home and watch Pretty Little Liars. I have to catch up to it anyway."
Kim's POV
I really wanted to go to the dance but I didn't want to be a loser and go by myself or go with one of Jack's friends. Honestly, I don't even want Jenna to go with one of his friends. "Kimmy, please."
"Don't Kimmy me." I whined, she knew my weakness. She started to pout. "Please, we can just do a girl's night."
"No, no girl's night at a dance."
"Pretty pretty please. And I'll even watch Pretty Little Liars with you afterward." She whined, and I gave up. "Fine! Go cancel your date."
"Thankyou." She said normally and skipped over to Jack's crew. Jack was looking at me and I did a yuck face which made him mad. I smirked, and turned back to my locker.
Later that day, Kim and Jenna were at Jenna's house. "I wanna go to the mall." Jenna whined. "Why now?"
"Because I wanna find out Jack's mystery girl is. She's against me and I don't wanna go to the dance blindsided."
"But homework."
"Homework can be done at the mall."
"Ugh, fine! I'm too tired to fight you today." Kim groaned, Jenna clapped. "Yay!"
When they got to the mall, Jenna looked around. "Let's just sit and do our work. Get us Starbucks and you can look around, okay?"
"Fine, fine! I'll go and do that." Jenna walked to Starbucks while Kim sat down with her homework at an empty table that sat two. Kim put on her glasses, and started with her Pre-Calculus homework since she was above grade level.
When Jenna came back, she put Kim's Starbucks in front of Kim. "Thank you, Jen. Any luck?"
"None, he's probably working on the other side of the mall." Jenna sighed, sitting across from Kim. "Do you have to wear those nerdy glasses?"
"1. They are prescription glasses, 2. I have to wear these when I'm not in school."
"Get contacts."
"No, I will not. If you don't want to hang with me in public while doing homework with these glasses than fail math and look for Jack so you can be in 10th grade again."
"Fine, fine. I'll deal with those." Jenna sipped her coffee. Kim started with helping Jenna with her Geometry. After 30 minutes, they took a break. "We need to go buy dresses."
"I am not wearing a dress, that's for sure."
"Find an outfit, and a dress."
"I'm first because you will take hours to find a dress."
"Ok, fine." Jenna sighed; Kim packed everything up and put it in her bag. "Let's go."
When they got to Wet Seal, Kim's face lit up with happiness. "This is the second time you have been this happy."
"What do you mean?"
"You are never this happy, unless it has something to do with Doc Martens or clothes shopping that you actually wanna do."
"I'm sorry; Wet Seal is the most amazing store I've been in since, yanno Doc Martens."
"Now I understand."
"What?"
"When you're in your favourite stores, you're happy. That's simple!"
"Oh, well yeah." Kim smiled, looking around. After a few minutes, Kim brought her outfits – Jenna wasn't allowed to see it, no matter how many times she asked.
When they went dress shopping, Kim sat outside the store on her phone, playing Brave Temple Run. After a while, someone tapped on her phone. When she looked up, her facial expression changed to anger.
Jack's POV
I was walking with Brody and Carson, we was joking around with each other about our dates when I spotted Kim. "I dare you to go over there and kiss her." Brody said, holding out a hundred.
"You really want me to?"
"Don'tcha want this hundred? I know you only have 20 on you."
"Fine!" I groaned, walking up to Kim. I didn't want to do it but I needed the money. She was so interested in her phone she did hear me call her name. I tapped her phone which made her look at me, mad.
She got up, so I backed up a bit. "What do you want Brewer?" Kim said harshly, my insides hurt. I knew that Lindsay treated Kim like crap and I did when I was pissed but it still hurt.
"You have a little something." I smirked, pointing to her lip. She tried wiping off nothing, I chuckled. She didn't know that there wasn't anything there.
"I'll get it for you, close your eyes." She sighed, and did what I told her. I leaned in, about to kiss her when she slapped me; hard. "Ow! What was that for?" I whined a bit and she smirked. "I haven't eaten anything yet." She grabbed her bags, and walked into the dress store she was sitting next to. Brody and Carson burst out laughing. I looked at them evilly. "Here, you deserve this." Brody laughed, giving me the hundred.
"Yea I do after I just got slap. I didn't even want to kiss her."
"What? Is Kim disgusting to you or something?"
"Maybe." I said out of anger, rubbing my face. "She's like the only girl in the school who won't kiss you."
"What is up with that? Every girl would kill to be with me."
"Is that a challenge I smell?"
"No, not a challenge." I refused, knowing that Brody always had a plot. "Well, she did look adorable in those glasses."
"I didn't even notice." I said, not remembering her wearing glasses. I was confused, when did she wear glasses?
Kim was in the store, waiting for Jenna now. Kim was pacing, badly. People she didn't even know started staring. She shielded her face with her hands while she paced. She then started to mumble. When Jenna came out of the dressing room, she touched Kim's shoulder. "What happened?"
"Jack Brewer is what happened."
"Exactly what did that handsome devil do?"
"Tried to fucking kiss me." Kim whispered, not wanting anyone who did go to her school know what happened. Jenna gasped, "You gotta be kidding."
"I wished. He was like, I had something on my face which I knew I didn't. I just played along until he tried to kiss me. Gross, much?"
"You are officially acting like a 5 year old."
"Outta all people, he is the last guy I would want to kiss unless I had to which I don't."
"True, but are you going to Peyton's birthday bash?"
"Who's Peyton and when is her birthday bash?"
"What today is?"
"Like Thursday."
"You are seriously no help." Jenna took out her phone, and checked it. "Today is Friday. Why was we doing homework on a Friday again?"
"Because you were failing, remember?"
"True, well; I got my dress and heels. C'mon, I have some searching to do." Jenna grinned, going to the counter.
After Jenna brought the outfit, she grabbed Kim's arm and went the way where the Doc Martens store was at.
When they got there, it was opened but nobody was in there – at least that they saw.
"I need a pair for tonight."
"Why? It's a birthday bash; I thought you wouldn't be caught dead in boots."
"Well, I wanna make a fashion statement at least with you."
"I am not going to this party with you."
"Why not?"
"Because you are forcing me to be social with people who don't like me."
"Who? Lindsay? She doesn't like Peyton, so she won't be there."
"But…fine."
"Yay! By the way, my mom gave me a credit card, so I'm buying." Jenna grinned. Kim started looking through the boots, smiling.
"Are you gonna be here every day now?" Jack groaned.
"What? You don't like seeing Kim?" Jenna faced him. "No, no I do not."
"Well, get used to it. Your fault for working at her favourite store." Jenna giggled. "She do have a point there, Brewer."
"You two will be the death of me." Jack went behind the counter. Jenna smirked. "Brody and Carson just walked in." She whispered to Kim. Kim rolled her eyes, and turned away from the boots. "Hey boys." Jenna smiled. Brody walked over to Jenna, hugging her. Kim wanted to throw up. "How long are you gonna make me wait?"
"Wait for what?" Kim asked, confused. "I asked her to be my girlfriend; she said she'll think about it." Brody smiled at Jenna. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Fine, yes." Jenna kissed Brody. Everyone gagged. "Get a room!" Jack yelled at them.
Brody and Jenna laughed. "Aw, poor Jacky is upset since he's single still, huh?" Brody looked at Jack.
"I could care least about being single. But I definitely don't wanna see you with your girlfriend making out."
"Sorry Jack but I don't wanna be away from her and I don't think I can control myself with Jenny."
"I hope I didn't sound like that with Lindsay."
"Dude, you guys was horrible together and not the sappy horrible but like arguing too much horrible." Brody sighed, than looked back at Jen. "Can I steal Jen away from you for the rest of the day Miss Kim?" Brody asked, Kim shrugged. "Why not? I'll see her later anyway."
"Oh, yeah. It's Peyton's birthday bash tonight." Brody smiled. Kim nodded and they left; leaving Kim, Carson and Jack in the store. "Kinda wished I went with them now." Kim whispered loud enough for Carson and Jack to hear.
"I still can't believe that Jenna cancelled with Brody for the Winter Dance." Carson thought aloud.
"So, she was serious?"
"What do you mean?"
"She said since I wasn't going, she'll cancel with him so I would go. I thought she was lying."
"I knew that girl all of my life, she was serious." Carson chuckled. "Of course you would play the brother card." Jack said.
"What, no… Jenna is annoying but I would never play the brother card, again." Carson joked. "I'm lost." Kim pointed out.
"I'm Jenna's brother, technically twins."
"I did not know that."
"You do now." Carson said, "I'll see you later bro." Carson left the store. Kim was confused, "Well, okay then." Kim rolled her eyes, going back to the boots. She took off her glasses, putting them in her bag.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"Okay."
"I'm serious. I didn't want to kiss you."
"Good to know."
"It was a dare. I would have never done that if it wasn't for the dare."
"Good for you." Kim said monotone. Jack groaned. "I don't even know why I even try."
"Yeah, why do you?"
"Maybe because you are like the only person in the entire school that doesn't like me at all not even at a friend."
"Maybe because you are like Lindsay. All she ever do is torture me, and all you do it be a fucking prick to me. Have you thought of that?"
"You always have bad timing."
"Me? Bad timing? Well fuck my life for not wanting to move and be the fucking new girl. Fuck my life that all that ever happen to me is torture because I don't want to be another 'pretty girl' or be a cheerleader or the fact all I wanted was to be myself. I know how it's like to be the mean girl and torture others. It's the worse fucking thing ever!" Kim yelled.
"What do you mean?"
"The reason I'm here in Seaford because I needed a fresh start, not where I'm the girl everyone wanted to be or hated. I was like Lindsay, and I regretted that."
"I doubt that you were like Lindsay."
"Really? Okay, yeah because I can fight, stand up for myself and have good comebacks? Or the fact that I'm nice to almost everyone I talked to. You don't want to meet the Kim Crawford I was a year ago. I hate that girl and I can't believe I was ever her."
"If you say so."
"I do because that girl was a bitch to everyone. Her family, her friends, everyone who threaten her title of being the queen of the school. I was the girl that everyone wanted to be or feared. Even the seniors didn't want to cross me."
"I bet that she isn't that bad."
"You don't even know."
"I want to know because I don't believe you."
"Really?"
"If you somehow be that so-called Kim Crawford from last year all next week, I'll leave you alone as long as you want me too."
"I'm not making that deal."
"Fine." Jack chuckled.
That's the end of the first chapter. I hope y'all enjoy.
