There's honestly not that much to my ex, other than the fact that when I left for the Otai Academy, making him a promise we'll be together when I return. The thing was when I returned six months later, I was going to surprise him at our usual hang out. By the time I reached our hang out, I found him. He wasn't alone, but he was with some girl. I never found out who she really was, other than the fact that they were sitting awfully close together just being disgustingly adorable.
When I reached to his table, he was in shock. He pushed that girl off and told her to go to the washroom. She sensed the awkward-ness in his voice so she quickly left.
Flashback
I was in shock. He promised me that he would wait until I got back. We never agreed to see other people. I know it was selfish, but Tyler was mine. We've been through so much and to think he would just move on with someone else when he clearly promised me he wouldn't just…breaks my heart.
"What was that?" I demanded.
"K-Kim, I didn't think you-" Tyler stammered.
"-That I would be back so quickly?" I finished for him, "Tyler, we made a promise. You would wait for me to come back and not see other people. Do you think I saw other people in freaking Japan? No! Sure there were boys that had beautiful hair and nice bodies, but I didn't go for them!"
"Kim just let me explain." Tyler said sincerely.
"Kim just let me explain." I mocked him, "Explain what? How there's a girl on your lap, touching your face and being all couple-y with you? What I saw explains enough. I really thought you were different, but I guess you proved me wrong."
"Kim-"
"No, Tyler. We're done. What we had? It's gone and over. It never happened." I got out of the booth. Tears were streaming down my eyes. He was the first boy I had extremely strong feelings for and the fact that he just threw what we had away just killed me.
"Kim!" Tyler shouted.
I turned to him, "Look, Tyler, I'm not yours anymore. You can be with anyone you want now. Just, just don't bother me anymore."
And that was the end of what we had. The thing was, he was also the first guy I ever let this far in my life. I just couldn't risk being hurt ever again.
Reality
After that, I never saw Tyler again. I finished my first year at Otai and decided to take a break and come home. So, that's where I ended up today, although not exactly…somehow I just ended up in a book.
"Well, we're here! Sorry about my idiot of a brother." Jack told me.
I snapped my attention towards him, "What?"
"I don't know what you were thinking when you were gazing out the window, somewhat in pain, but we're at your house."
"Oh, um thanks, Jack." I gave him a small smile. I leaned over and gave him a hug.
"Anytime, cheer up kay? You looked pretty glum and I hate looking at you when you're all sad like that."
I exited the car and gave him a wave, "You're amazing, you know?"
Jack gave me a big grin, "Means a lot, Kim."
I walked to the front of my house and opened up the door. I looked out and gave Jack one final wave before he drove off.
I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing.
Jack Brewer the caller ID read.
"God damnit Jack it's too early." I answered.
"Well good morning to you too, I'm letting you know I can't drive you this morning."
I looked at the clock on my nightstand, "It's 6:20am, are you nuts?"
I heard a laugh from the other end, "I need you to pick up Milton today, okay?"
Sighing I replied, "Yeah sure, but did you really have to call this early?"
"Yes, okay bye." Just like that, the other end was dead.
I really hated his guts.
I woke up an hour later, getting ready for school. Rushing down to the garage, I unlocked the car and there stood my devil of a sister.
"What do you want." I snapped at her.
"Your car, hand it over." Sara said simply.
I laughed, "In your dreams. You can't even drive!"
She shrugged, "I'll be sixteen in a few days and mom said I get your car."
"Oh yeah right, keep dreaming." I patted her shoulder and got in.
"Mom meant it! Since you trashed my phone, she said I get your car."
I rolled down the window, "A car to replace your phone? I don't think so. You have no clue how much cars cost these days."
"I'll get mom down here." She threatened.
"I'm not stopping you." I pressed the button to open the garage door.
"Mom!" Sara screeched.
Silence followed, the garage door had fully opened and I drove away.
"A ta-ta, Sara!" I waved to her.
Who did my mom think she is? She can't just give away my car, it's mine. This was completely ridiculous! Although, this was something a Crawford mom would do, fictional or non-fictional, they would always try and pull these stunts.
As for Sara, she was just being a bitch. Oh get over yourself, just because I trashed her phone doesn't mean it's the end of the god damn world. Mom would just get her a new one in a heartbeat.
It was such a typical move for my mom to favour Sara over me. Being the older one, I was expected to treat my younger siblings properly and be a good example or whatever. You know what? Sometimes I have better things to do. I can't be a "role model" for my younger siblings all the time. I can't be a goody-goody all the time anymore.
I arrived at Milton's house moments later and texted him. He ran out with a mug in one hand and flying papers in the other. I got out and helped him.
"Woah there, Milton!" I took the papers from him.
Milton gave me a sincere smile, "Sorry I'm so disorganized. I stayed up all night on a project."
"Aren't you in a group for one of those projects?" I asked curiously.
He opened the front door and got in, "Well, Albert came down the flu recently so I can't stand his germs getting all over my desk."
I chuckled, "Why are all these English papers identical?" I asked observing the papers.
"Well, I wrote three different copies. I just couldn't decide on which one I should hand in."
Starting the car, I picked the top one up and handed it to Milton, "I saw a glimpse of this one. This essay proves a strong point on why you strongly disagree with online courses."
"But then for this one, it proves why online courses can also be a good thing." Milton stated.
"Make up your mind, Krupnick! Online courses suck or they don't. They're all really good okay." I stopped at a red light.
He sighed, "Thanks, Kim. By the way, I sense that you'll be getting out of this book pretty soon."
I stared at him in confusion, "What?"
"I see the way Jack looks at you, you two clearly have something."
I laughed, "Milton, you obviously didn't get enough sleep."
The ginger shook his head, "Eventually Kim, you'll see it. It's pretty obvious."
"Oh whatever, Milton." I waved him off.
We arrived at school a few moments later. I spotted Grace quickly and she waved at me, telling me to come over.
"Hey, Kim!" She beamed at me.
"Hi. I think I'm going to sit with Jack and them at lunch today, maybe you can come with me? That way I don't have to be alone with all those guys."
Grace nodded, "Sure. Just one question, will Jerry be there?"
I smiled, "Yeah, why?"
She turned her head away quickly, hiding her embarrassment, "No reason."
I raised an eyebrow, "Okay?"
"By the way, I was wondering if you wanted to come over tonight for a sleepover? We can drive you to school tomorrow morning or something." Grace changed the subject.
"Sure! That seems exciting!"
"I'm glad you can come. I have something really important to discuss with you." She said.
Now I was just extremely confused. What did she want to tell me?
"Can't you tell me now?" I queried.
She shook her head, "No details at the moment so I can't."
"Grace! This is literally eating me alive." I exclaimed.
The bell rang shortly after I said that and I groaned. Grace turned to the opposite direction making her way to her first class.
"Grace!" I called out.
The tall girl turned around, "Hm?"
"Can't you just tell me now?"
She chuckled and walked away, leaving me extremely confused.
"So did you invite her to lunch?" Jerry asked me.
I nodded, taking a bite of my sandwich on our way to the cafeteria, "Calm yourself, she's coming. She even asked if you were going to be there."
Jerry's face lit up, "Yo, really?"
"Yes really. I can really tell you're into her."
He gave me a small smile, "Thanks, Kim."
"No problem." I took a seat at our table.
Jack and Milton walked up to our table, greeting us.
"Brewer, what you did this morning was not cool." I glared at the brunette.
He shrugged, "I was awake and I thought I would tell you before I forgot."
I shook my head, "Cruel, I tell you. Just cruel."
Grace walked up to us and sat between Jerry and I, "Hey!" She greeted.
"Hi." We all chorused.
Jack and Milton stared at me with a confused expression on their faces. I took out my phone and typed it all out. When they read the message, they understood.
"I think I'm going to get some soup, Kim you want to come along?" Jack stated.
"I would love to." I got up from my seat.
Milton realized what was going on and stood up too, "I'm off to Chemistry class now. The teacher gives me bonus marks if I come early."
"But yo, lunch just started!" Jerry protested.
Milton picked up his backpack and flung it over his shoulder; walking away.
I walked with Jack to the soup and salad bar, "You think what we're doing for Jerry is a bit, you know, devious?"
Jack shook his head, "Look, we're doing him a favor."
I glanced over at Jerry and Grace, Grace laughing hysterically, "I guess you're right. They really are enjoying each others company."
"See? No harm done." Jack smirked.
"They are totally hitting it off. They're so cute!" I squealed.
Jack rolled his eyes, "Girls."
"But you love 'em!" I nudged him.
He laughed, "Yeah."
"So, are you going to get soup or what?" I gestured towards the different types of soup they offered.
"Oh yeah, totally forgot." Jack said in a daze.
Confused, I decided to shrug it off, "So what's the soup of your choice?"
"Cream of Mushroom, duh. Gosh, Kim." He began to scoop the soup into a container. He payed for it and took two spoons, handing me one, "Come on, drink this soup."
I took the spoon and took a sip of the soup, damn it was so good soup.
