~As much as I don't want to be, I am attracted to him like a magnet~

Kim's POV:

I kick the orange sparkly star onto the ceiling. The tape works. Catherine {Kim calls her Cat and some of their other friends} throws me a black sticky sparkly star. I kick it to the ceiling. It sticks. Breathing heavily I look at Garret. {He is kind of like prince gumball in Adventure Time. You guys were asking 'Who's Garret?' So he is like her crush…..for now}.

"What are these for anyway?"

"These are for the Halloween party at school; I'm just making sure they stick to the ceiling."

"That sounds cool. Are you going with anyone?" I whack Cat on the shoulder.

I lean over to her. She's pretty short for being 16.

"Shush he is dating Jessica."

"Oh sorry."

She mumbles and brushes her light brown/ dark blonde hair out of her face. He sets the tape down on the table next to him.

"Actually I don't anymore."

"What happened?"

"It's personal."

He mumbles.

"Oh we should go anyway."

Me and Catherine head for the door. Garret stops us.

"Wait."

I turn back around.

"Yeah?"

He walks closer to me. And by close I mean real close.

"Would you like to come as my date?"`

I stutter uncontrollably.

"Really?"

Excitement builds inside me.

"Pals of course."

My heart shatters into millions of pieces. For a spilt second my real smile of happiness fades, making me put on a fake smile.

"Okay I'll see you there."

He waves good bye after we get to the end of his drive way. We walk to my house several blocks away. Once we get in my backyard we go into my tree house me and my parents built before my mom went away. My mom was having an affair with somebody, I've even seen him in my nightmares. I sit down in a bean bag by the window. Cat comes up after me and plays with the huge slinky I got for Christmas last year. I lean my head against the back of the bean bag chair. Cat speaks up.

"Are you sad about the 'pals' thing?"

She uses quotations for pals with the slinky.

"Yeah."

I say looking out the window. She sits next to me in the other bean bag chair.

"He likes you."

"I thought that too Cat."

I look at her.

"You should tell him how you feel Kim."

"I'll tell him at the dance….we need costumes!"

She eyes become wide as dinner plates. She jumps off of the bean bag chair and runs out. What the hell? I follow her out of my house, down the street and into her house. She runs upstairs and brings down to black garbage bags one in each hand. She leads me into the living room pulling on my wrist. I sit down and watch her unzip one of the bags. She reveals black flats; knee high socks with blue stripes, blue short skirt, and blue long sleeve t-shirt, light green and dark green backpack and a little white hat with bunny ears that flop down to the sides and the hat straps around your neck by a button. Cat puts the costume in my hands.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's your costume."

I look at the costume back at her then back at the costume then back at her.

"This is a costume?"

"Yeah it's from Adventure Time."

She picks up the other garbage bag with the other costume in it. I stare at her in confusion.

"What is Adventure Time?"

She gasps like I should know what 'Adventure Time' is. I roll my eyes.

"It the most awesomeness bestest cartoon on cartoon network!"

"Bestest isn't even a word."

She shrugs it off like I said nothing. She checks her watch and squeals.

"It's on!"

She grabs my wrist and pulls me over onto the couch. She turns on the TV and sits next to me. After about 30 minutes we watch the pilot of Adventure Time. I laughed several times to myself because Jake is pretty funny. Cat shakes my shoulders.

"Well?"

"That was hilarious but Finn is a boy I'm not."

I toss the costume over on the other couch.

"But you can be like Finn but a girl."

"You mean gender swap?"

"Yeah!"

"What will my name be then?"

"Her name is Fiona."

"I'm not looking like a freak with no Jake. Are you going to be Jake?"

"No I'm going to be Cake."

I look at her in disbelief.

"What is Cake?"

"Yeah that's why I should be her. She a cat and my name is cat."

She giggles and twirls her hair. I never told her this but she is such a blonde sometimes. She stops.

"I'll show you my costume. She unzips the garbage bag to reveal a short white skirt a tail coming out of the butt, light brown boots and a jacket with light brown stops on it and a cat face on it. I'm guessing that Cake.

"Where did you get these anyway?"

I say interested.

"I got them at the Comic con a few weeks ago. Can you please dress up as her please?!"

Cat begs and gets on her knees.

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please oh please!? Pretty please?!"

"Alright I'll wear it!"

"Yes!"

Days later:

I put on the costume. I kind of look like Fiona. I put my bangs on the right side of my face. I sigh heavily. We're just pals that's it. Nothing more. Cat comes from out of the restroom in her costume. She can tell I'm not up to this.

"What's wrong Kim?"

"He doesn't like me Cat I can tell."

"Okay but you're going to ask him anyway."

"Alright whatever."

We get into my punch bug and drive to Seaford high. We park at the closest parking spot to the front door as possible. When we walk in rock song is playing but I don't know who sings it. The gym is decorated with the stars we put to Garret's ceiling at his house. The gym is orange and black like the table cloths, the punch is red like blood, the dance floor has lights scattering back and forth. Me and Cat look around the gym amazed. We first go to one the tables and pour us a drink of punch. Cat help this whole thing come to this so she left me at the punch bowl to deal with something about the band that's going to play on stage. Great. I have a date with a boy I have a crush on but he thinks were only friends and he's not here yet. I lean against the table.

I feel out of place without Cat. Yeah she can be a major blonde but she is like the third or second most popular girl in this school. She makes me feel like I'm popular when she's around but she's not. {This is Enchanted by Taylor Swift in the ~ things} I usually come with Cat to all of the things she does for this school and this is like the forth thing this month. Some people come around and talk to me. I fake laughs and smiles. Even though 500 kids are in the gym with me it feels like I'm alone and the gym is old and lonely. All these kids either changed their look or themselves to look more attractive or they are bullied by the people who are fake because they're not. I walk around the gym trying to find something to do. I walk back out to the empty hallway. No sign of Garret. He ditched me. I sigh and lean my shoulder against the brick wall. A car engine turns off and car doors open and close. I don't feel like moving so I stay put. I hear the front door to school open and close from down the hall.

Hard footsteps echo down the hall to my ears. I wonder if that's the band or something. The footsteps get closer and closer and closer. The footsteps are right around the corner. I roll my eyes. It's probably some jerk. The footsteps turn the corner. Damn. The boy standing a few feet away from me is hot. He has a red/black guitar in a shape of an axe in one hand and a microphone with a stand in the other. He has brownish/blackish hair covering his neck, a plaid red shirt, black skinny jeans red converse and he is pale but he is so hot. He walks up to me with a proud smile. A large gulp forms in the pit of my stomach. He's the one from my dreams. As much as I don't want to be, I am attracted to him like a magnet.

"Hey where's the gym?"

"Don't you go here?"

That came out like I'm annoyed with his presence. He looks surprised I said that, he raises his eyebrows.

"No….I'm going here this November. I'm in the band."

"I bet your parents are elated of joy."

I snicker under my breath.

"Look I'm not trying to be rude….."

"You sure are acting like it."

I mumble to myself. Now I feel like a piece of shit. He rolls his eyes.

"I'll find the gym myself."

He walks past me leaving me feel bad.

"Hey."

I turn around. The boy is standing there a couple feet away.

"What?"

He looks at me up and down.

"Nice ass bitch."

My mouth drops open to saying something but nothing comes out. He snickers at my expression and turns another corner leaving me shocked. He cannot just talk to me like that. Why do I feel like I should have giggled at his comment? Why do I feel like that's normal? Should I yell something back at him? Why do I feel enchanted that I met him? Am I really falling for a guy I don't know from my nightmares? Ugh! I run back quickly to the gym to find Cat.
