Kate
My eyes widen. I turn my head to face Jarrod. His blonde-red hair was falling in his hair. It had gotten longer during our time at Thorntyne Keep. His face showed a smug smile, yet was filled with total seriousness.
"What?"
I looked away from Jarrod's face to find Tasha, Jessica, Pecs, and Ryan's eyes all looking from Jarrod to me, then back to Jarrod. Tasha was the one who expressed distaste in Jarrod's announcement. Her jaw had dropped to the floor.
Jarrod's smile grew larger.
"You heard me. I'm taking Kate. Who else?" I turned my neck as far as I could towards him. With his strong arm securing my waist, I couldn't turn all the way around. His face was innocent. Acting as if I was the best that this world could offer. At least, it looked as if he was acting…
I turned back to face Tasha, she was abnormally quiet. Then I saw why.
Her face was tomato red, fists clenched together. She was MAD. I wonder if all kids rich kids were as spoiled as her.
Jarrod snickered. My jaw tightened. I told him NOT to read my mind. Or, maybe, he was laughing at Tasha's hilarious display. I was so wrapped up thinking out which would be funnier that I almost missed it.
Tasha's hand was just about to hit Jarrod on the face. Hard. I tensed up and was about to try to slap her back. Then I realized that something stopped her. I looked up to see Jarrod restraining her wrist a good three inches away from his face.
She gasped and pulled away her hand. I thought she was going to try to hit him again, but instead her face got softer. Tears started dripping down her face. She turned and ran out the door of Jillian's store.
Jarrod, Jessica, Pecs, Ryan, and I all watched her. Jessica soon realized that she was doing nothing and ran after her. Pecs turned back to us with Ryan soon after.
"You idiot! Why would you ever choose Scary Face-" He was suddenly cut off by someone. I had been lightly pushed away into one of the store shelves. Thankfully none of the crystals were broken. I hadn't even been bruised. But I couldn't move.
Jarrod had pushed Pecs hard. He had been shoved into the cylinder polls that keep the store sturdy. I think his head was knocked pretty hard because he just sat there rubbing it.
Jarrod now turned to Ryan with a friendly grin on his face. It was as if he was giving him the best news in the world. Ryan's heart must have skipped a beat, because he turned picked up Pecs and sprinted out of the store. I was still blinking out of shock.
I felt someone's arms come around me and help me up. I turned and embraced Jarrod, burying my face into his soft cotton T-shirt. After a moment I looked up into his face. It was filled with worry. I probed his mind and figured out he thought he had hurt me.
I laughed.
His expression changed into a confused one.
"What's so funny?"
"Why don't you just read my mind and find out." I said with thick sarcasm. His face immediately turned guilty. I giggled again. But this time before I could see his reaction I threw my arms around his neck and pressed my lips against his. His arms tightened around my waist. All the memories of the last time we had kissed, the first time, flowed back to me. Jarrod felt amazing. But before long I broke the kiss.
"Thank you." I said looking up into his eyes in a loving way. I smiled. He beamed back.
"I was going to have to tell them some time." Before I had a change to reply, he pressed his lips to mine once more. I giggled against his lips.
We suddenly leapt apart because of a cough coming from the doorway to the store. I turned to see my best friend Hannah. She looked mad, like she wanted an explanation.
"So what? You disappear for two days and just on a whim decide not to tell your best friend who you tell everything to?" She cocked her boney hip, jutted out her chin, and had an all-serious oh-no-you-didn't look on her face. Before I could explain myself, she doubled over laughing. Jarrod and I looked at each other before we started cracking up. I ran over to Hannah and wrapped my arms around her back. She stopped abruptly and hugged me back.
"I missed you so much Hannah." I said in almost a whisper. Another giggle slipped through her lips.
"Um, it's only been like two days, mate." She pushed me back and looked into my eyes with what looked like all seriousness. "I'm not that special." We all laughed at that.
I invited Hannah in to update her. She gladly accepted and skipped into the kitchen.
"I'd better go check up on Mum and Dad." He smiled a breathtaking smile, kissed me on the cheek, then turned and left on his bicycle. It's awesome luck that it didn't get stolen in the two days we were asleep.
I watched him until I couldn't see him anymore, and then sighed. I looked up at the ceiling. Wow, I guess the curse really is gone. I thought of what Jarrod said to Tasha and the rest of them. He really has changed.
Oh my Gosh! I forgot about Hannah!
I ran into the kitchen and got ready to go though another string of questions, and one long explanation. Great.
Thanks for reading!
please review!
