Kim Connweller and Jared Thorne

My alarm clock blared loudly, and I pressed my pillow lazily over my head in attempt to muffle the annoying sound.

With one hand, I hit the snooze button and grumbled before I rose out of bed. I couldn't imagine what I looked like, I really didn't want to much less.

I went into the bathroom and didn't dare to glance at my reflection in the mirror. But, to my dismay, I had to since my Mom ordered it so it took up half the wall.

My black hair looked like a haystack. I tried to brush it so it looked slightly better, but my hair was stubborn. I gave up after a few strokes and put my impossible hair into a ponytail.

I raced downstairs to eat breakfast, and Val wasn't at the table. What was on the table was Mom's usual note that she left for us before she went to work.

I sighed, realizing it was my job to wake up Val in the morning. I scanned Mom's note, which was very simple. All it said was: "Kim and Val-Have a great day at school.

You're taking the bus! Love you two, Mama." I huffed and then stumbled to Val's room. Val's room was still dark, despite the small rays peeking through her firetruck red curtains.

I stepped over a bean bag chair and a few dozen make up bags before I got to her bedside. She had one arm draped across her face, and her hair was spread on the pillowcase. She looked so much more peaceful than she does when she's awake.

"Val!" I shook her shoulder as I urged to wake up. She moaned. "What the hell do you want?" Val mumbled. "You have to get up," I reminded her. "Shut up," She mumbled rolling to the other side of bed. "You overslept," I informed her.

"Shit!" She yelled as she jumped out of bed. I raised my eye brows as I exited the room. I took a swig of coffee to wake me up and ate my breakfast.

I raced back upstairs to get ready for school. My backpack was already packed, thanks to my routine executed last night. I sighed as I faced the crisis of the morning.

What clothes should I wear today? Usually, I was uncaring towards the subject, due to the lack of clothes in my closet. Well, appropriate clothes thanks to my shopoholic sister. I settled on a blue sweater and plain jeans.

I finished my morning routine, and went downstairs. Of course Val looked like a supermodel. She got the good side of the gene pool. She was tall first of all, and had blazing green eyes with brown specks.

Her black long curly hair always looked like it came from a Pantene commercial.

Plus, her face was really pretty. She had a white perfect smile, and her teeth were perfect. Unluckily for me I just got my braces off, and they still weren't picture perfect like hers.

She had all the boys drooling. She had a thin face and wore the right amount of make-up. Come to think of it, she looked she came out of a Cover Girl photo shoot.

"Why are you looking at me?" She asked, raising her eye brows at me. "Oh...um..." I murmured blush flooding my cheeks.

"Never mind, c'mon, we have to get to school." She sighed, shaking her head. That's another flaw I have. I'm not outgoing like she is and I'm very shy.

"What's that?" She asked me pressing her hand against the cover of my diary. Blush once again invaded my cheeks. "Oh...um...Science journal," I mumbled, putting my diary upstairs. "Okay then," She spoke, rolling her eyes.

I prayed she didn't see the back cover which had "Mrs. Jared Thorne". I wasn't very good at hiding that I had the biggest crush on him.

For about, I don't know...forever. I'm a hopeless dreamer and having a frightening dating history. My dating history was non exisistant. The closest I got to dating anyone was Kyle Beeler, in seventh grade. It turned out he wasn't asking me out.

He was asking my best friend Lilly out. And Lilly of course said no. After that, I was pretty much invisible. No one payed attention to a mousy girl named Kim Conweller.

People would bump me in the hallway, and sucessfully make me fall over, and not say anything. They probably thought they hit air or something. They never looked back.

And Jared, well he didn't even know I exisisted. I would catch myself staring at him during English class, he sat right in front of me. Jared was into the beautiful girls, like Molly or Caroline. Not me, boring plain Kim.

"Can you drive me?" I asked Val who was preoccupied by looking at her reflection in her make up mirror. "Sorry, I can't." Val responded. Usually, having an older sister to drive you to school was an advantage. But, today I had to take the bus.

I looked out the window, and it was raining.

And my raincoat I'd left at school...Of course Val took the only umbrella. I didn't notice Val's outfift until now. She was wearing a blue sparkly halter and black skinny jeans, and silver heels.

She looked great, as usual. I sighed and walked outside to bear the cold rainy day. My sister waltzed to her car, managing not to get wet by the rain.

Meanwhile, I was soaked before I got to the bus stop. It didn't matter though, no one noticed me anyway.

I got to the bus stop, and gulped as I saw all my peers staring at me and trying not to laugh. I ducked my head as a giggle escaped their lips.

The bus pulled up, and I walked in somewhere in the middle. Sadly, everyone did notice me. Blush covered my cheeks again, and low and behold Jared was in the backseat, open mouthed. His eyes caught mine, it was the first time he looked at me.

I bit my lip, I was probably as red as a fire truck. He kept staring at me as they all laughed. What puzzled me was he didn't laugh, or smile as if he tried to hold back a laugh.

I sat in a window seat by myself, trying to be invisible. I dug in my backpack and found a black hoodie and quickly put it on. I wasn't wearing make up so I didn't have to worry about make-up staining my face. A tear slipped down my face.

I put the hood up, in attempt to hide myself. I curled up and placed my cheek against the coolness of the window pane and tried to fall asleep.

I didn't, I still heard the snickering and their harsh words. For once I would be the talk of the school, for all the wrong reasons.

Not soon enough, the bus ride was over. I didn't realize it, but Jared was looking at me the whole time. He probably thought I was a freak like every one else.

I grabbed my backpack and it rested on my shoulders. Before I exited the bus, Jared approached. My heart was beating emberassingly in my chest and I kept my eyes at the floor.

"Kim, I'm so sorry," Jared apologized. I looked in his eyes for a minute before losing myself in them. "Uhh it's okay," I chocked.

"No, it's not. You didn't deserve that," Jared argued. Thoughts were running through my head, but I ignored them just enjoying that he was talking and and noticing me.

I didn't reply I just walked away with shaky legs. Jared grabbed my arm gently and I felt all warm and eletrocuted after he touched me. "Kim, that wasn't fair to you." Jared sighed. I looked down, casting my eyes down.

He released my arm and walked away. I could die happy right now. I wish I could believe wha he said was true. But I had a gnawing doubts that it was either a dream or a sick joke.

It didn't matter though, I was smiling and couldn't feel any happier. Every thing this morning was forgotten. I feel like I could fly. And leave it to me to trip and fall in the hallway.

What do you think? Like it love it hate it? Tell me! Remember five reviews then next chapter! This is my first Kim/Jared fan fic, so please don't hold back. Thanks!
