"Jeeze Kim, I wonder if your trying to consume all the lip-gloss in the bottle or, Jareds coming this way!" I giggled while my favorite person in the world drowned her mouth in makeup.
She gave me on of those looks. The look that says 'If you even consider messing this up for me I will happily murder you with a pogo stick'.
"Brooke, I really like this guy." She admitted.
No way I had no idea. Her notebook was only covered with his name and little hearts. She only talked about him whenever she got the chance. And she only kept the pencil she had lent him once on the table beside her bed. Kim likes Jared. What a shocker. Not!
Personally, I didn't care for the guy. He was so stupid he made Spongebob Squarepants look like brain surgeon extraordinaire. Okay maybe he wasn't that dumb but, I did have a reason to hold a grudge against him.
He was popular and shallow. My best friend Kim was in love with him. Somewhere out there an artistic soul just gagged.
People like Brooke and Kim do not ever associate with people like him. People like me and Kim join the peace core after high school. People like me and Kim recycle. People like me and Kim protest animal rights and volunteer for community service. People like me and Kim are vegetarians.
Okay, so maybe Kim won't do the peace core thing, and maybe she dose most of those things for me. But, my dear friend Kimmy is shy and timid. Not many people pay attention to her. She is the sweetest person I know. I don't want to see her get her heart stomped all over like elephants in a stampede.
I'm not saying Kim's naive. Kim is very smart. But…there it is always a big but in the way. She is very trusting, sometimes to trusting her own good.
Like in second grade when she gave Paul her gummy bears and he swore up and down that he would share his graham crackers with her. Did he share those crackers? I think not! But, what did sweet eight year old Kim do? She just shrugged and let it roll off her shoulders. She never asserts herself. Kim just goes with the flow and kind of let other people and life push her around. Until, now.
"I don't see why you won't just let this guy go." I said voicing my opinions as usual. Kim was way to pretty to be this obsessed over a guy. Not, many people would see it at first but, when you looked at Kim she was beautiful. She had round perfect shaped lips, pretty deep chocolate hued eyes that hinted a little hazel and green, and a nose that you would assume was to big at first until you realized it proportioned her face perfectly.
I couldn't help but be a little jealous of her pure black shoulder length hair. Mine was a boring sandy blonde color with ringlets but, at least it stood out in the La Push Reservation.
My mom is an anthropologist studying the native American culture of La Push. She was really into her work. No really she even married a guy out here she liked it so much. I'm just joking she married Andy because she loved him not because she wanted to write a thesis on 'The Life of a Modern La Push Wife'. But, I have read some of her published work and it is booooooor….wait its coming…ing.
I'm not aloud to read those anymore on account of me falling asleep and drooling on it one time. My mom never drools so technically its all her fault for reproducing with a guy who drools. Nice going mom.
So while my pretty friend just glared at me for insulting her stalker obsession once again I just doodled I my English notebook.
This is when all hell broke lose.
No I am so not kidding.
After about two weeks of being absent Mr. Bigshot just strutted in like he owned the place. He slapped his buddy Paul's hand and nodded to a few other people who were rude enough to yell 'Hey Jared! Wazzzzup?!' across the very tiny classroom during the stout and balding teacher's lecture.
I rolled my eyes as he sauntered over to his assigned seat next to his biggest groupie, Kim.
She of course being the shy girl that she was averted her gaze like she dose so often in his presence. Her smooth russet cheeks darkened considerably, but like always Jared never noticed.
Jackass.
Then, as he turned to ask her something which was most likely for another pencil to borrow. He did a double take.
It was like he was truly seeing her for the first time while he gazed in her eyes. It reminded me of when some homeless man might stumble upon a treasure chest of precious gems in the middle of New York City. Hey, I'm sure it could happen.
Jared's eyes widened more than I thought was possible, his mouth turned upward into an expression of pure joy. As for Kim she looked like she could start crying tears of euphoria at the very second his eyes connected with hers. It looked like a scene in a movie were after years of searching the world the couple had finally found each other again. I think I could have barfed then and there.
Holy bananas what was going on?!
"Hi, I'm Jared." He breathed after regaining consciousness from his little epiphany.
"I know." Kim giggled and blushed before looking at her shoes.
Are you shitting me?! Why was she talking to him?! This was a complete disaster. Boys like him only want one thing from an honest, trusting girl like Kim. And I swore to myself I would not let that happen! Kim will not get her heart broken if I have anything to say about it.
(A/N) Don't you just love Brooke? I think she's a fun Pov to write from. There is more to come so pleez be nice and review once, or maybe twice. Ha ha. I'm Dr Seuss. See ya later!
