After a grueling day in the world of high school, Jamie Waite managed to drag himself into the EMT station. He had gone through another day filled with boring lessons, stupid homework, and a ton of detention. How he could actually survive EMS duties was even beyond him.
He dropped his backpack onto the floor, despite that one rule that Alex has about it. Then, he sank into the couch and leaned back, trying to take himself out of all these things. Realizing he couldn't, he re-entered the harsh realm most people call 'reality.'
There was only one reason that motivated him to keep up with this community service mumbo jumbo. Well, actually, two. One was that if he doesn't, he would be rewarded with double. The other reason was because of her, a fellow EMT. Someone that is totally out of his league.
She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
Jamie still hasn't figured out why would he be attracted to someone like her. It was obvious that she was the total opposite. They hanged out with different groups, dressed differently, talked differently, and even acted differently. But for some reason, he felt attracted to her, even though he knew nothing would come out of it. It's just... impossible.
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
He didn't know the reason for why he felt that way. It's not love at first sight. It was the exact opposite. He hated her the first time he saw her. Actually, he hated all of them. Tyler, Hank, and her. He has always thought they were fake. And egotistical. He only changed his mind after her dad's heart attack. That was when he got to see her real side. The he heard about her dad, he wanted to run to her side and hold her in his hands. And comfort her; tell her that everything's going to be okay.
'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me
Her family's different, too. Well, at least they were. They were rich. Jamie had seen their old house before. It was... what's the word, humongous. But now, because of her dad, they moved to a smaller house. But still, she dressed so... elegantly and sophisticatedly.
First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
Even if he did say something, she probably still wouldn't be interested. After all, she has Tyler. Well, technically, she doesn't. But it was only a matter of time until he asks her out. True, both of them are shy about that. But it's a total fact. Unless Jamie make the first move.
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?
She came into the room. Just herself, nobody else. Jamie's eyes rested on her beautiful face. He would never want to pull his eyesight away from her. He just wanted to sit there and stare at her forever. For weeks, he had wondered what it was that was bothering him. He was always getting distracted. When he actually tried to study, his mind would wander off and land on her. Always.
"Val?"
'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me
The blonde turned and smiled. "Yeah?"
Jamie froze. It always happened. Every time he tries to tell her, it felt like time just stopped so he could realize once again about how beautiful she was. He thought of backing down, but his heart lends him the courage he lacked.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Her nod provided Jamie the rest of the motivation he needed to move on in his life.
