She screamed.

What was he doing here? Are there not enough states in this country that he can go bring his shaggy head of hair to?

Gosh! What did she do to deserve this? She got good grades; she went to church…sometimes. She listened to her parents when they actually felt like talking to her.

No one deserved this! She didn't deserve this! Seeing him after seven years felt like a punch in the stomach, which no matter how you put it, hurt.

Like hell.

Memories came flooding back like rapids.

They were staring at her, she felt it. She looked at the five boys who seemed to be shocked. Well, she had screamed randomly. Just because of a random celebrity in the doorway.

They probably thought she was screaming because of him.

Which was true but not for the reason they think.

The reason that she didn't want to elaborate on. Though it seemed more than happy to make an appearance in her mind.

She pushed it back and put an innocent look on her face like nothing had happened.

After realizing that she wasn't going to explain, Milton shouted, "What in the fuddy pudding was that?"

Might as well play dumb.

"Don't know. I thought I saw a spider." Said Kim who looked at everyone but Jack, thinking that she might scream again at the sight of him.

She didn't but that didn't stop Rudy from retrying the warm welcome. Jack moved along as Rudy stood in front of each of them.

"This is-"

"Jerry." Said Jack.

"This is M-"

"Milton." Jack shook his hand and moved to Eddie.

"This is Edd-"

"-ie." Jack finished and Rudy tried his best to keep smiling, then they moved to Kim.

"And finally,-"

"Kim, right?" Jack smiled at her. Her stomach dropped as he stuck out his hand to shake hers. Right? Right? Did he not remember who she was? It wasn't even that long ago! Just seven years, not so bad but really? Nothing?

"Kim!" Rudy shouted and she jumped, carefully sticking out her hand. Jack smiled again and shook it. His hand was warm and soft and what was she thinking? She couldn't be thinking such things, especially about him.

His hand was disgusting and his hair was in desperate need of a haircut. He wasn't all that. Just that little ten year old that used to sit with her on her front porch and talked an-

STOP!

No reminiscing.

He wasn't worth reliving the pain and now that she thought about it, he wasn't worth anything that she gave him.

Kim nodded and pulled her hand back two seconds after touching his. She needed to leave.

"Nice to meet you." Jack smiled again and he would soon see the result of her fist colliding with his face. His stupid smiles were becoming extremely annoying.

"Kim completely agrees. She's just really shy." Rudy added in when Jack kept staring at her, smiling.

"I gotta pee." Kim blurted out and blushed deeply at the amused and confused look on Jack's face. She ran to the locker room where she could go die of humiliation.

Well, whoever lived at 199 Main Street was about to receive one hell of a letter. She took the paper out of her bag to make sure she was sending it to the right person. Didn't want to freak out a random stranger with her ranting.

Dear Whoever This May Be,

This is your penpal and I've had thoughts about what I was planning on saying. I've thought about asking the cliché things like "How are you?" or "What's up?" which is really just the same thing. Anyway, I've figured that you could be my personal venting system? I've just probably experienced one of the worst days of my life. My life was fine, I have my hobbies which I don't care to explain because-oh just! Why me? A blast from the past was much more of a blast than anything and I don't know what to do. This person goes to my school and let's just call him, Prince Charming. If he's even that. It's just so ridiculous how he just comes back into my life like this. Do you know what I'm saying?

Hell, I don't even know what I'm saying. Well, I think I've said a mouthful and I can't fit my life story into one letter!

Hope to hear from you soon,

-Anonymous

Kim smiled at her work and hoped she didn't completely scare this person away. Maybe another nickname would be better. Anonymous just seemed so plain. But she didn't want to give herself away, what if this was someone she knew? Like Frank?

Ugh! That would probably make this day worse.

If that was even possible.

Kim sealed the envelope and held it tightly in her hands. She made her way down the stairs and out the door, walking to the post office.

She let a puff of air out of her mouth and a strand of golden hair flew from her eyes and the big brick building came into view. She approached the blue box and sent her letter, she walked away feeling relieved.

Now, just wait.

And wait until a reply.

"So, Bill I think that the profits should be split reasonably…" Her mother continued to say while her father texted another colleague on his cell phone.

"More chicken, Kimmy?" Minny asked and Kim nodded. Her parents continued to discuss business and Kim felt tired and curious. But not about what her parents were saying because they could go on forever.

Nope, it was about her penpal and whether or not he or she would even want Kim as their penpal, even though they didn't know it was her. It was nervewrecking waiting for a response. Anything could go wrong and that's the only thing that seemed to be happening for her today.

Kim cut her chicken and popped it into her mouth, biting her lip anxiously, wondering who her penpal was.
