Chapter Twenty Six

Monday. Wonderful. The start of a brand new week. Well at least it wasn't raining today. I got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to take a shower first. Ha I beat Sophie. I grinned. I loved Sophie but it really was a hastle with the both of us of who would shower first so she'd have to wait. I was sure she was awake but oh well, more time for her to pick out her outfit.

I showered quick before brushing my teeth and then went to my bedroom. It didn't take me long to get changed. I put on skinny jeans, Brown UGG boots and a tank top with a pullover hoodie over it. I got my stuff before going downstairs. I had cereal and waited for Sophie. She skipped breakfast and we headed out to school.

"Have you talked to Daniel?" Asked Sophie.

"No. I haven't." I told her honestly. We hadn't spoken since the date but we would today. I had to talk to him about something important. I could only hope it didn't hurt him though. "I will today though."

"Cool."

The rest of the way to school was quite and peaceful. I was savoring the moment. Didn't know how long it would last I guess you could say.

Once we got to school I hurried inside going to my locker and then going to first period. I just wanted the day to pass quickly so I could talk to Daniel and get things done and over with.

He was nice and all but all I could see us being was friends. Nothing more. My heart already belonged to Jared. And I knew deep down no matter how many dates I went on or who I talked to that wouldn't change.

I was kind of nervous walking to fourth period and even more nervous when I got there. Daniel was already sitting there and waiting for me. Great.

Well, here goes nothing.

"Hey Daniel." I said walking over.

"Hey Kim." He looked kind of confused or something. I wasn't sure what to say but his face was a mixture of things.

"Hi. Um. Can we talk?" I asked awkwardly.

"Yeah. Sure. I wanted to speak with you as well."

"Um okay. You go first." I said.

"Your sure?"

I nodded my head but then thought about it. I didn't want to lead him on and I knew that if he suggested another date or something I would most likely agree and I just wanted to be friends with him. Before he could even get a sentence out I stopped him.

"Wait! Can I actually go first Daniel?"

He chuckled and nodded his head. "Thanks. Well um I had a great time Friday."

"As did I," he responded coolly. He wasn't exactly making this easy for me even though I had just begun.

"And um...well I'm not really exactly sure how to put this. I'm glad that you enjoyed it to and everything but I think that maybe we should just, um well you know, we got along so well..." crap. I feared this would happen. I would just end up rambling and get nervous not knowing what the hell to say.

"But you think we should just be friends right," Daniel said and I took in a deep breath.

"Yes."

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you as well," Daniel told me smirking a bit.

"Really? I mean it's not that I didn't like you or anything but I just think we would be better off as friends."

"Kim. Chill out," he laughed. "It's cool."

"So were okay."

"Of course."

I grinned. "Good."

Just at that moment Sasha walked in a smile implanted on her face. "Hi people's."

"What has gotten you into such a cheery mood?" I wondered.

"Well I was just having a conversation with non other than Jacob."

I smirked. "Jacob, as in Jacob Black? Billy's son."

"The one and only." She grinned. I gave her a questioning look and then smiled giving her the, 'we'll talk later,' face.

The period soon started and we had to work all through it not getting the chance to even really talk. It was okay though. I kind of wanted to clear my head a bit. As the bell for lunch rang I told Sasha I would meet her and Kelsey in a bit since I had to go to my locker. Well, not really but I needed a bit of air. You know?

As I walked I passed the band room and smiled thinking about the good times I had there from last year. I felt a small gush of air but otherwise ignored it until someone came up being me and cupped their hand over my mouth.

I took both my hands and tried to pull away from that person but it wasn't working. I felt myself being dragged away. Fuck. Why was I so weak?

Once the person dragged me off into a dark room they let go. I spun around and punched. I wasn't sure where but I heard the person mutter, "Ouch. What the fuck him!" before turning the lights on.

"Jared! What the fuck is wrong with you!" I spat at him.

"I just wanted to talk to you. And you went all crazy on me."

"You kidnapped me!"

"So we could talk!"

"What do you want Jared?" I snapped.

"Why are you angry!"

"Because you fucking kidnapped me!" I yelled.

"Shh! Do you want people to barge in here?" At the moment I really didn't give a flying fuck.

"What do you want?" I wasn't as loud but wasn't as quite either."

"How did your date go?"

"Is that really why you kidnapped me? What you wanted to ask me?"

Jared rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah."

"Well it went just fine thank you very much." I started to walk past him but he caught my arm. I turned my head to look at the side of his face.

"What else is that you want Jared?"

"Are you dating him?"

"That is none of your business." Why did he care? I mean did he all of a sudden magically grow back feelings for me or something?

"Please. Kim."

His features softened. And he dropped my arm. I moved and stood in front of him. And looked him in the eyes. "No. No we are not dating Jared."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Why? Seemed like he was really interested in you."

No point in lying. "Because we were just better off as friends. And even if we weren't I still wouldn't be able to go out with him. My heart belongs to you."

I took that as my escape and left quickly. I caught my breath and continued on in the cafeteria. He knew how I felt. There was nothing else left for me to do or to say.

Thank you all for the amazing reviews you have left me! Also for the alerts and favorites! I smile every single time I see them. I was watching the Vampire Dairies while watching this so might have been a tad bit distracted. Love Damon. And I have just started reading Damon/OC on FanFiction and they are amazing!
