K.C. Guthrie
The first thing K.C. wants to mention is that he's not going to tell you what K.C. stands for. He tells people to figure it out for themselves. But you know he's kidding because he says it with a smirk; K.C. says everything with a smirk. Initially, K.C. is a happy person. This is especially true in his dreams, because when he's asleep, K.C. doesn't have a past. It never happened, simple as that. He doesn't live in a group home, but back with his parents. And of course Clare is in his dreams. K.C. loves Clare for three reasons: 1, she's smart; 2, she's beautiful; and 3, the two of them work. They fit like two mismatched puzzle pieces; they belong to completely different puzzles, yet somehow they manage to stick. In his dreams, K.C. always tell Clare his puzzle metaphor and she would laugh and fix her hair in the cute way she does. In real life, K.C. doesn't want to tell Clare about them as puzzles, because he's afraid that is she doesn't giggle the same way she does in his dreams, she might not giggle in his dreams anymore.
And then he has nightmares. At first, K.C.'s nightmares start out as dreams. But when he tells Clare about the puzzle pieces, she doesn't laugh; she rolls her eyes and says something bitchy and that's when K.C. knows he's having a nightmare. The second he realizes it, everything spirals. He's suddenly back at the night where he stole a car with his old friends. Sometimes he's in the car, other times he's standing by the car. Either time, he gets an urge to look over his shoulder and sees Clare, staring him down furiously. He sees the look on her face and can't feel ashamed because this person doesn't look like Clare. She has Clare's face and her long, beautiful hair - she's even wearing one of Clare's outfits - but she doesn't have Clare's eyes. K.C. doesn't know who this girl is, but he can't move when she's looking at him.
K.C.'s dreams are the only thing that make him feel truly happy... besides Clare's laugh.
K.C.'s nightmares are the only thing that truly scare him... besides losing Clare.
He should be careful; before love turns to lust.
