Author's Note:

Ok. I'm pretty tired and I want to say a few things before the chapter.

1. I realize that the last chapter wasn't exactly the best. I was at the library and was going back and forth between studying and typing. So yeah. I'm really sorry about that.

2. I haven't gotten much hate on this story and I'm pretty happy about that. But I know there is bound to be some, and I promise that it won't stop me from doing what I want.

3. I didn't want only two points so I'm adding this one.

Ok. Let's update. On with the story.

As usual, read, enjoy, review, and share.

Kim's P.O.V

I wasn't exactly sure why Jack asked me to spend the night. I think that's going a little too fast. I don't want to just say no and not go, but I don't want to spend the night with him. Besides, I don't exactly know what's on his mind. But Jack is a teenage boy and I'm pretty sure what the majority of his brain is thinking now.

I went into my dorm building and sat on a bright purple couch in the living room. There was only one other girl there. She had light brown hair and blue eyes. She had her laptop in front of her while she was sitting on a recliner. She was wearing a navy blouse, skinny jeans, and black high tops. I turned back to myself and sighed deeply, trying to figure out what to do. The girl snickered.

"What?" I asked with a ton of self-consciousness and sneering.

"I know a boy trouble sigh when I hear one,"she said, continuing to look at her laptop.

I thought about that for a second.

"It's more of a boy predicament," I corrected.

She looked up from her laptop and closed it. Her eyes looked at me. Trying to figure out what I was hiding.

"What is the predicament?" She asked.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Well, it won't hurt to make a new friend."

"So if I tell you what's wrong, we'll be friends?"

"Yeah...I don't think it works like that, does it?" She half chuckled.

"I don't think so," I smiled.

"Really. What's the problem?"

I inhaled and exhaled deeply. I didn't think I could tell my problems to someone I met literally a minute ago. I don't even know who she is. I don't even think I've seen her around the campus before. But her eyes looked truthful. Yet, this girl could secretly be a serial killer. But I guess telling someone this was better than keeping it bottled up.

"It's my boyfriend," I started.

"And he's cheating on you?" She guessed.

"No," I said blandly.

I was about to not tell anything more to this specimen. I simply rolled my eyes and looked at my hands.

"He wants to go further with you but you're not ready, you don't want to, and/or your abstinent. Furthermore, he asked you to be with him but you don't know if you should let him down, how you should let him down, or just go have sex with him," She guessed once again.

"Not that far," I pointed out.

"Ok. Not sex, but spending the night."

"Yeah," I mumbled.

She laughed. I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"What's so funny?" I sneered.

"I had the same problem last week."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Most girls do."

"What did you do?" I asked more interested.

"I told him how I felt, and that if he didn't respect my decision, he obviously didn't care about me," She explained.

"How did he respond?"

"He totally understood. He respected my lifestyle and agreed to take it slower."

I nodded. My confidence boosted a little bit. I started to think about how Jack would react. Jack was the sweetest guy I knew. He was completely understanding and caring. He would be fine with waitin a little while to take the next step. For now, we could just stick with making out. A lot.

"When is the next time you're going to see him?" The girl asked.

"I'm supposed to be going over to his dorm right now to spend the night."

"Well, when you get there, tell him. Then when is the next time you're going to see him?"

"Tomorrow. He's the lead in the play and I'm...directing it," an idea came to my head.

"What are you thinking?" She smirked.

"He doesn't know I'm directing it."

"And?"

"I could make up letting him down by doing something special," I grinned.

"Hmm. I think he would like that," The girl approved.

We laughed and gave each other a high five.

"I'm Kelsey. Kelsey Valgar," She introduced herself.

"Kim Crawford," I told her.

Her eyes widened.

"Oh. So you're the famous Kim Crawford?" She said with a sly smile.

"Yeah. Why?" I asked worried.

"Kim Crawford. Lived in Seaford for her whole life, cheerleader, karate expert, and currently dating Jack Brewer."

"How do you know all of that about me?" I asked even more worried.

"My best friends are the gossip queens of this campus."

I laughed.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" I asked half hartedly.

"I'm not sure!" She laughed. "It's getting dark outside. After you tell Jack you want to slow things down, do you want to hang out with us? There's three of us. We're like this," Kelsey crossed her fingers.

"Yeah. That would be awesome! But are you sure that I wouldn't be intruding?"

"Of course!"

"Ok. Sounds great. I think I'll go over to Jack's dorm right now and meet up with you three here in about 15 minutes?"

"Yeah. See you then."

I stood up and walked out the front doors. The only thing luminating the outside were very few street lamps and the moon. I started going over in my head what I would tell Jack. I finally came to my final decision on what to say. I entered the boys' dorm building and soon came to Jack's door. I knocked started getting butterflies. The nerves were happening. I began to hyperventilate. The door swung open.

"Kim?" Jack asked. "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Nerves. Cookies. Water. Now," was all I could say.

Jack pulled me into his kitchen and pulled out a Chips Ahoy package of chocolate chip cookies. I ripped open the package and stuffed three soft cookies in my mouth. I chewed and my breathe already started to slow. I grabbed a glass of water and chugged it down.

"Better?" Jack asked rubbing my back.

"Much."

"Now would you like to tell me why you were nervous?"

"Well, I was...I was..."

"Why don't you have your stuff with you?" Jack cut me off.

"That's what I'm nervous about," I started.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"I'm not comfortable with us spending the night together yet."

"Do you think we're going to fast?"

I nodded meekly.

"It's ok. I completely get it," He said. "What? Did you think I would be mad at you for telling me that?" He asked.

"No. I knew you would be understanding, I just...I actually don't know why I was nervous," I admitted.

"Well, you don't have to be nervous around me."

"I know."

"So since you're not spending the night here, would you like to watch a movie?"

"Sorry. I promised a girl I met that I would hang out with her and her friends."

"Damn. You know sometimes it seems like your purposely trying to avoid me," Jack laced his fingers in mine and smiled.

"Shit. You've figured it out," I played along and pecked his lips.

"I'm just too smart, arent' I?"

"Definitely."

We both leaned in and made the kiss last a bit longer than the last one. He slid his tongue into my mouth and I moaned in pleasure. I backed away.

"I wish I could continue this, but I have to go. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow, though," I played my fingers in the neck of his shirt.

"I'll take up your offer on that."

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yes you will." He forbade.

We gave each other a final kiss and I walked out of his dorm and into the girls' living room.

I entered seeing only two girls there. One being Kelsey and the other being Donna.

"Donna?"

"Kim?"

"I didn't know you were friends with Kelsey."

"Neither did I."

"Well, we just met about 20 minutes ago."

"I'm taking it you two know each other?" Kelsey cut in.

"Yeah. Where is the other 1/3 of your group?"

"She had to study. She has to bring up her grades," Donna explained.

"Ok. So where are we going?" I asked.

"Wherever the night takes us," Kelsey stated.

"Do you have classes tomorrow?"

I went through my sort of complicated schedule in my head. I didn't have office worker today, but I had postal worker and then karate.

"Not until later in the morning," I said.

"Ok. How about the movies? I hear they added a one room theatre into the mall building!" Donna suggested.

"Sounds good," Kelsey approved.

"Let's go!" I looped my arms in Kelsey's and Donna's and we walked into the dark outside.
