If someone told Kim this morning that when she woke up she would be sitting on the bench outside her house with Jared Cameron she would have laughed in their face, but, people say that life takes a person on a whole series of strange twists and turns.

"So..Jared..what`s new?" Kim visibly cringed at her lack of coolness. What`s new? She thought that her whole body turned scarlet. She sure felt like it did.

"Everything." Jared`s reply came simple and confusing.

"Like what?" She was curious.

"You for a start." His voice was dead serious. Kim`s breathing quickened. Not daring to believe what she thought he was telling her.

"Me? How?" She almost whispered. Jared crouched on the ground in front of her. His handsome features shone in the moonlight. He looked at her with such wonder. Happiness.

"When I looked at you this morning you changed my world. It`s like...I dunno...we are made for each other." Kim just looked Jared expressionless. Finally she found her voice.

"This is a joke isn`t it." Jared`s face contorted in pain.

"No. I would never joke like that to you. I would never hurt you Kim." His voice was pleading.

"What is this Jared? I don`t understand you."

"What is there not to understand Kim. I`m in love with you. We are meant for each other."

"How can you love a person you don`t know Jared?" Kim challenged. Jared was lost for words. Her heart was begging for him to know her. Anything about her.

"I do know you Kim."

"What is my birthday?" Jared was silent.

"What is my favorite color even?" She felt disappointment burning her stomach.

"What are my friends names? Music I like? My hobbies?" She said all of this softly. She wasn`t angry at him. There was something strange up with him for sure but he wasn`t playing a joke.

"I get it Kim. But you don`t understand. Not yet you don`t." His voice was quiet but not sad.

"I understood that you said that we were made for one another." She cocked her eyebrow at him. He smiled. She didn`t.

"We are." He said simply but determinately.

"What if I had a boyfriend Jared?" She wanted to see his reaction to this. It wasn`t a pleasant one. He stood up and towered all six foot something over her.

"Who is he?" Jared almost growled. He looked demented.

"Fuck sake Jared cool it! I don`t have a boyfriend. God!" Kim dragged him back to sit on the bench. Jared had calmed visibly.

"I`m glad. I`m the only guy for you." He smiled at her cockily. Kim looked at him with disbelief. She couldn`t help but laugh.

"You are beautiful when you smile you know." With this she slapped her hands on her thighs and stood up.

"Just stop saying all that stuff ok!" She ran her hands through her hair and stood with her back to him.

"I won`t! Ever! Cause it`s all true." He stood behind her. She could feel his body heat radiating from him in waves. Kim let out a heavy breath.

"What if I told you that for years I had a huge crush on you? That every class we had together I wished you would notice me? To talk to me?" Kim was taking a big risk. She waited for his laughter. Laughter that didn`t come. He put his hand on her upper arm. It was roasting. Like he had it in a fire.

"If you told me all those things it would make me the happiest man in the universe." His voice was soft and gentle.

"And yet you don`t know my favorite color." She said with a half smile.

"Do you know mine?" He challenged.

"Green."

"How did you know?" He was surprised.

"I heard you tell someone before."

"Will you tell me yours?"

"Violet."

"Thanks."

They were silent for a while.

"Kim. Please don`t push me away from you." This caught her by surprise. He voice was pained. She turned to face him. She took one of his huge hands in two of her own. He sighed.

"I think I`m starting to believe you. Whatever is going on it`s pretty strange but.." she hesitated. Scenes from Carrie and She`s all that came flashing into her mind. "If you are joking or if it`s some sort of bet then...I dunno." Jared intertwined his fingers with her and kissed her fingers.

"It is not a joke. It`s the one true in my life Kim. I know you don`t believe me now but I am going to prove it to you. You won`t be able to not believe for too long." He waggled his eyebrows.

"Jared. You ready to go man?" Sam`s voice called from the door. He approached and smiled at us warmly. He slapped Jared on the shoulder in a brotherly way.

"See you tomorrow at school Kim." He winked at her and turned to leave with Sam.

"See you tomorrow then Jared." Kim called to him. He turned back and blew her a kiss which she had to laugh at good naturedly. When she got inside she raced to her bedroom and lay down on her bed and squealed with delight. Ali came in and sat on her bed.

"What happened Kim?" Ali demanded.

"He said he loved me." Both sisters screamed and jumped around the room hugging.

"Oh Kim you`re so lucky!" Ali sighed.

"This is like a dream come through Ali. I don`t know if I believe it."

"You have to! Oh man. Can I be maid of honor at the wedding?"

"Ali! We are not get married!"

"How do you know? If he loves you then he`ll marry you. Are you going to keep your virginity until the wedding night?" Ali said this so matter of factly that Kim was stunned for a moment.

"I would love to know how your brain works Ali."

"Yeah you`re right. He`s too hot to wait for the wedding. You will probably end up doing it tomorrow or something." Kim rolled her eyes at her little sister and got ready for bed.

She couldn`t sleep. What happened today was running through her mind. She felt elated. He said he loved her. He sounded like he meant it. It was a dream come true for her. What Ali said also got to her. Kim had always wondered what it would be like to have sex with Jared. The thoughts of making love to him made her wet. She wondered if she would be any good at it. The nasty voice inside her head told her it would never come to that. That tomorrow he would go back to not knowing she was alive. She pushed the nasty voice out of her head with some difficulty and fell asleep to various images of Jared, the moon, wolfs, kissing and sex.

Review please. It makes the story better you know.
