I didn't portray Kim as totally nerd or as painfully shy high school girl. She's neither made of sugar, spice and everything nice. You will find out more about her as you read. Just thought I should give you guys a little heads up.

Chapter 1: 17 and still invisible, that must be a record.

I turned 16 yesterday. I expected something dramatic to happen. It always does in books and movies. It's been 45 hours and 38 minutes and nothing's happened. Now why this is a big deal again? Oh, wait it's because we all believe in fantasies, though not out loud. We all could use all the help we can get. Be it luck, omen, magic or any not-precisely-logical things. Every night we went to bed believing every "once upon a time" ended with a "happily ever after". So we are habituated now to expect that something magical should happen when you turn 18(or 16) or when you graduate from college or get a job. But can Lamarck's theory be generalized? Can persistent longing for something really give us what we want? If giraffes can strain their neck to become longer can't we strain ourselves to become that which we wanted? As we are evolutionary dead-end did that make us inapplicable to this theory? But I have my own theory for life. Everything changes. Every feeling is a phase. So I might as well seize the day and feel the wind on my shoulder.

I can't believe there's one more year of school to go. Final exams going on and I barely studied for it. And it's already late and I have got the whole day tomorrow to prepare. I am the kind of girl who prepares at the last minute but does it big time. So I have decided to call it a day and retire to bed.

I woke up to be welcomed by a sunny day and a cheerful mom. She kissed me good morning and prepared breakfast. The day was productive since I almost finished everything I needed to.

I slept comfortable in my bed that night.

I swear I didn't see this coming. The cold darkness enveloped me. I have never craved for light as much as I do now. I was scared and I didn't want to leave just yet. My knees were begging me stop. Convincing myself that I'd better face my fear and get over with it, I stopped to catch some breathe and felt my world spin about me. I finally turned around to meet the blazing eyes of my hunter: hungry and vicious.

I woke up with a start.

"Kim, Wake up darlin'." My mom called out from outside my door. "You are gonna be late for school". I had never been so grateful to hear her voice. School… I processed the word for a minute. Compared to my nightmares….. nope….. even then it didn't seem like an exciting idea.

My nightmare seemed so real that it made me check under the bed for monsters, just in case. I quickly showered and changed to Van Heusen blue shirt that went to my mid-thigh and a pair of jeans. I blow-dried my hair and combed it. I climbed into my car and reached school just in time.

Time seemed to fast-forward. I have finished my exam and was heading towards parking lot. I bumped into what seemed like a wall. I was falling backwards and expected to fall on the floor but that took a long time than expected. Any minute now. I told myself. Then I felt a long scorching arms around my waist. This all happened in a flash. I opened my eyes, which I didn't realise I had closed, to find a well-built muscly body in front of me. I didn't meet his eye. I knew who it was. Ever since he skipped school for three days he had gone all muscly and radiating heat. He placed me on my feet and asked me if I was okay. But it only seemed to be in the background since I was literally happy dancing in my mind. I finally realised I should at least give him a reply. I mumbled a thank you.

"Sorry I didn't see you coming". He responded. The story of my life. Sometimes like Chandler Bing I wonder if I should use my invisibility for good or for evil. But it was sweet of him to apologise.

"No, Don't be. It was my fault. You are rather hard to miss, I should have seen you coming." I said trying not to sound offensive. I met his eyes and he suddenly had a very weird expression on his face. Like I am some master yoga and I have just showed him the meaning of life. Okay I am not good in making analogies but you know something along the line. His shoulders stooped and he lips pulled up into a brilliant smile. He didn't move for a minute and I was just standing there. I know, smooth right? I then turned to get to the parking lot. But then I had to stop as I heard an ethereal voice.

"Hey". He said. "I am Jared by the way", he called.

I turned around and said "I know". Duh, who doesn't?

I kept walking and he yelled, "And your name?".

I don't know why but I was slightly offended. "I sit beside you in History and English classes and I have been so for years. And you don't know my name? That's bad. What you have to say for yourself Jared?" I said jokingly and his face fell like (Here comes the analogy) he was just told that he was adopted. Bravo Kim, you just added one more thing to the long list of things which I suck at.

It was hard to leave him like that. "You know I am joking right? Anywho I am Kim". His face instantly brightened up. I can't help but relate this to the mood swings my mom had when she was pregnant with my little brother. I tried hard not to laugh and give him any idea that I might be a little crazy. About him,yes. But in general…I don't wanna go down that road. Before I could do any stupid thing I waved him bye without waiting for any response and got to my car. I drove all the way home with a big smile plastered on my face. If my mom saw me like this she would have assumed that I just kissed someone. Not that I didn't want to, the one I wanted to kiss just got to know my name today. Score, huh? So I tuned my expression to the finished-the-first-exam-and-tired-already face and went inside.

This is my very first fanfic and I am allowed to make mistakes right? So look past my mistakes because I know I did. Ha XD…. And I am not gonna barter my story for reviews. But if you give a feedback, it would mean to the world to me! Dramatic much? Ha XD Lookin' forward to your wonderful reviews!
