Chapter 10

Kim's POV

The hype over prom was unbelievable, as I walked into school I was bombarded by the mention of the word. Every conversation seemed to revolve around prom. I could hear guys debating whether to ask a pretty girl to prom and I heard girls worrying about if they were going to be asked and discussing their prom dress, knowing full way they would be number one on at least one guys date wish. The pretty ones knew this anyway.

"Hey stranger" the familiar voice of Tobey floated from behind me.

"Oh, Hey Tobe" Tobey seemed to have finally accepted me and Jared as a package deal, at first he had been downright rude to Jared, but after a few harsh words to him he saw sense. Jared was nicer to Tobey then he needed to be, considering Tobey had acted like a jerk for at least three months towards him.

"Where's Jared" he sneered Jared's name in a way that made me believe he wasn't completely over his evasion to him.

"No idea, were not joined at the hip" I snapped back, I was anxious. Usually Jared was at school before me, bouncing excitedly until I turned up. He would then sweep me into a bone crushing hug and keep hold of my hand right up until we had to part for class, he walked me to every class, this made him very late to his classes and despite me complaining he insisted on walking me.

"Seems like it to me" His voice was significantly brighter, joking however the judgement in his eyes had not completely disappeared.

"So, how was your date with Katie?" Tobey had recently been flirting very obviously with Katie Jones. I was happy for her; she had had a huge crush on him for ages.

"It went really well actually" He smiled down at me. His blue eyes crinkling at the edges, grinning in a way only Tobey could.

"Thinking about taking her to prom?" I had heard Katie worrying over this; she had already got an invitation but didn't want to accept in case Tobey asked her last minute. Very last minute the prom was tomorrow night and after that an endless summer beckoned. A happy one for me I was sure, filled with Jared. We had both decided to go to the college in Seattle. Jared needed to stay in La Push as much as possible and I wanted to be there with him. It was not the only acceptance letter I got, but I had made my choice and I chose him, a decision my mum was not too happy about.

"Actually I was going to talk to you about that" He looked down his face turning an alarming shade of pink. I assumed he was nervous because he had left it so late that she would decline and I was more then happy to comfort him in this particular situation.

"Shoot" I looked over his head swiftly, trying to spot Jared. Not a hard thing to do as he stood at least 2 ft taller then everyone else. No luck yet. He might be sleeping late; he didn't sleep so well when I wasn't next to him. I calmed him and I liked it.

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to go with me" My eyes met his blue orbs and his face filled with a strange pleading as if my answer was vitally important.

"Oh, Tobey I'm going with Jared" A rush of guilt swept over me as I watched his expression turn down and his face sadden. His head suddenly snapped up and his features twisted into a mask of anger.

"Well you could have said" He spat venomously at me.

"I assumed you knew, we have been dating six months now and you said we were basically inseparable" The guilt vanished in a rush of rage, I was entitled to go to prom with my boyfriend. Besides, Jared wasn't just my boyfriend; he was my soul mate.

"Well if I was you I'd keep a very close eye on him" Tobey was closer then before his face right by mine and his tone menacing. I suddenly felt a large hand on my shoulder.

"Is there a problem here, Tobey?" Jared's chest was against my back and I felt it vibrate as he talked. His polite tone was saturated with an authority and menace that never seemed to escape his presence.

"Yeah, you, you're the problem" Tobey cautiously took a step back, intimidated by Jared's size and quiet confidence.

"Is that right?" His tone was just as polite but his voice deepened and I could hear a slight growl building up.

"Yes! You flounce in out of nowhere and suddenly declare undying love for Kim, after ignoring her for god knows how long. Your nothing but a fraud, you probably have a bet with your friends that you can nail her, you make me sick. You don't care about her so stop pretending." Tobey squared his shoulders and his usually serene eyes seemed to have turned into glittering blue fire.

I felt Jared shake behind me, he was going to loose it. Threaten Jared and he'd just laugh at you. If you threatened me or his feelings for me and he would loose control. I whispered, only for his ears: "Calm down" and he automatically turned still.

"We have to get to class" His voice was calm again but assertive as he led me back to the main building. I turned around to see Tobey seething in anger, fury rolling off him towards me and Jared. I longed to hold him and tell him it would be okay, but I knew it wouldn't. He used to mean a lot to me but now it was like Jared overshadowed everything else, he was my sole reason for living.

Class passed without event, my mind filled with petty things. I only realised I was sitting in the Lunch Hall when Katie asked me what my prom dress looked like. I looked up and blinked, jolted out of my trance.

"Sorry what?" I looked at Katie and heard her tinkling laugh.

"Your prom dress, what does it look like?" Her eyes were bright with curiosity and excitement. For once I looked around the table and noted Tobey's absence.

"Oh crap, I don't have one, I wasn't planning on going until Jared asked me" I facepalmed myself and promised to go to Port Angeles tonight, although I was sure all the good dresses would have been cleared out.

"Mine is black, plunge neck to my belly and a big slit up the side. I wanted to do sexy this year" Katie had been to loads of proms. She was beautiful, pale skinned with flame red hair, I was sure she would look beautiful in a bin sack.

"So did Tobey finally ask you?" I watched as her face fell and she sighed.

"No he said he wasn't going to go, so I said yes to Caleb" Her face light up at the sound of his name and I smiled to myself.

"I'm sure you will have fun with Caleb" I noted as I took a swig of soda from my can.

"Umm yeah" She was staring behind me and I turned around to see Jared walking my way. The girls still weren't used to him being around and seemed to melt when he was near. I new the feeling, however I usually managed coherent sentences around him.

He stood behind me and leaned down to kiss my head.

"Hey ladies" He greeted the girls with a casual wave and stuck his hand in his jean pocket. He wore light denim jeans and a tight white top. The white contrasting with his beautiful skin, I had to admit it, he was quite yummy, and all mine.

I stood up and felt his warm hand curve around my small hand. I waved a goodbye to the girls as he walked me out of the cafeteria and took me to a quiet secluded corner. I thought he needed to tell me something important so I stared into his eyes. Big mistake, those eyes made me melt and get lightheaded.

He leaned down and started to kiss me his hand either side of my head, pinning me to the wall behind me. I stood on my tiptoes to make the kiss easier and I heard him chuckle beneath my lips. He pulled away and started playing with my hair.

"I saw you in the cafeteria, and you were so beautiful I just had to kiss you" he smiled a wide charming smile and leaned down to nuzzle noses with me. I felt his warm breath and sighed contently. This was perfect, as the summer sun shone down us, bring out red highlights in my hair the moment shrouded in the relaxing sound of Jared's breathing and I knew it could never get any better than right now.
