If you could be so kind, please dont ask about Problems, i'm having trouble getting to that. (sorry, i have a lot of trouble getting to A LOT of things :-/)
"Sally, are you serious?"
"What?"
"You're letting YOU'RE boyfriend hang out with 'this girl' you dont even know about?"
Sally was in her room sitting on the floor talking to her friend Jocelyn and listening to her mix tape on her boom box.
"Joce, I trust him." Sally said. "And besides, I've met her before. She's okay."
"You told me you didn't like her" Jocelyn said. Sally's other friend, Margot was just sitting there looking at her fake nails.
"Yeah, you called her 'a pretty looking slut' or something." Margot said still looking at her nails.
"I didn't say that." Sally said making a puzzled face. Margot looked up. "Oh..." she said stupidly. "Then who said that?"
Jocelyn remembered. "I think you were talking about Clark's ex-girlfriend." she said referring to Margot's boyfriend. "Oh yeah." she said.
"Oh Margot," Sally said. "How's Clark?"
Margot tried to remember (but failed) "I don't know...i don't talk to him anymore."
Jocelyn stared at Margot as if she had three heads.
"Margot," she said. "He's dead."
"Really?" Margot asked. Her poor brain couldn't remember. "Was I at his funeral? I don't remember."
Oh my God. Jocelyn muttered under her breath hitting her forehead. The two friends know poor Margot suffers short term memory losses every now and then, but it gets so annoying, it makes them forget about her problem.
"What happened?" Sally asked unaware of Clark's death.
"I think he had an overdose." Jocelyn said sipping her soda.
"Hey..." Margot said with a mad face. "He told me he never drank before...oh, no wait, that was my mom. Never mind." she said grinning.
"So are you absolutely sure about this 'Kit' girl?" Jocelyn asked. Sally stood up and then sat on her bed.
"Look, they knew each other back in middle school. Everything will be fine."
Kit Clemings. You can't describe how unique this girl is. She can be kind of ugly but yet stunning-ly beautiful. She can be very harsh and then suddenly calm. She's both tom boy and girly girl. You can get lost in those dark chocolate eyes trying to find her pupils. Her adorable dimples always shone when she smiled. Her brownish, blondish hair glowed every time the sun shined. She can be very generous and intelligent. Kit's amazingly amazing.
Sally couldn't help but be jealous. She really didn't want to be, but there was something about Kit that she really wanted. It wasn't her looks, her intelligence...she didn't know what, she just craved it
"Oh my God..." she said silently. "That's him, that's him, THAT'S HIM!!"
Kit stood there, possibly 15 ft away from him. He was sitting in a chair in front of Flo's. Kit's grin couldn't disappear, even when she took a deep breath.
Okay, here we go. She thought. She took breath and slowly walked over to the shaggy haired man and tapped on his shoulder saying, "Lightning..."
Lightning turned around in his seat. His eyes widened at the sight of this girl. (Her grin was bigger than ever.)
"Oh my God," Lightning said getting up. He grinned. "KC!?"
"YEAH!!" she said hugging him popping up a leg. "Oh my God KC, it's you!!" he said returning this gigantic hug. "Oh my God Lightning, it's you!"
She faced him resting her arms on his shoulders. "After all of these years!" she said putting a hand gently on his cheek. Lightning indeed couldn't believe after all of these years he finally sees his old girlfriend hugging him.
Kit was about to kiss him right on the lips. Something inside her told her to stop and said "doesn't he have a girlfriend?".
"So Kit," he said sitting on the table. "What have you been doing for all of these years?"
"Well, my dream of being an artist finally came true. I've already made about 45 paintings and sold about 15 of them!"
"Oh, that's great KC." Lightning said without that adorable grin wiped off. Kit went and sat down next to him.
"You know I don't have to ask you about your career Mr. Piston-Cup-Winner!" she said nudging his shoulder with hers making him chuckle. After the season of The King's wreck, Lightning finally won his Piston Cup this season which just ended a week ago.
"Can I see it?" Kit asked eagerly. "Sure." Lightning's tone was pretty eager too. The two started racing each other to The Cozy Cone to Lightning's room, giggling non-stop.
Sally was in her Porsche just coming back from The Wheel Well. She stopped the car at a point where she could see Lightning running inside her motel with this girl. Her face was kind of puzzled. "Who the hell is that?" she muttered.
She parked her car and entered the building. She walked over to Lightning's door and from where she was, she heard mumbled giggling.
"I'll be right back." Lightning said walking over to the door. Sally stepped aside and crossed her arms, waiting.
"Hey, Lightning." she said wryly smiling when he bumped into her. He smiled happily.
"Oh Sally," he said. "I'm so glad you're here!" He turned to the open door behind him and beckoned Kit to come over.
"He does have a girlfriend," Kit thought catching the sight of the upset looking girl.
"Kit, this is my girlfriend Sally."
Kit led her hand out in front of her. "Hi. I'm Kit Clemings. But you can call me KC if you want."
Sally forced a kind looking smile and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you."
"I'm gonna get my bag." Kit said going back in Lightning's room. Lightning turned to Sally who's expression was blank.
"Anything wrong?" Lightning asked making Sally flinch facing him.
"No, of course not!" she said smiling with a loud tone. "Why would I?"
Lightning gave her a look. She sighed.
"Do you seriously think I'd be jealous?" Lightning thought about that for a second.
"Well, I guess not" he said. He faced her and pushed her chin with his finger and smiled. "I know you're not the jealous type."
Lightning took a second thought about that; the thought of Sally being jealous never came up. She sort of thought about it too.
As I typed this up, I noticed this is pretty familiar to "The Old Friend". Well, it kinda is, but sorta isn't too. :-/
