Back to the Chapter 3...
The day of the long awaited Spring Goddess Festival has arrived. Jack quickly got out of bed, for once in his life, and got ready to go with his date, Popuri. He went out to find Popuri in a pink costume waiting for him.
"You look nice." Jack said to her.
"Thanks." She replied. "Should we go now?"
"Um...Sure." And they went off to the town square.
When they got there, the place was breathtaking. There were flowers everywhere, a lot of pink, Popuri's favorite festival and color anyway. Of course to Jack, it really didn't matter. This was much more of a girly festival. Karen saw Jack and waved at him.
"Hey Jack!" Karen yelled.
"Huh?" Jack looked around and then finally saw Karen going towards him.
"What's up?"
"Nothing much." Karen also looked beautiful that day but she always looked nice everyday.
"So who are you here with?" Karen looked around like she was expecting not to see anyone.
"Actually, I'm here with Popuri." Jack said.
"Oh." Karen seemed a little disappointed.
"KAREN!" The girls yelled.
"I'm coming!" Karen yelled back. "Sorry, I have to go now, I'll talk to you later. Ok?" And she ran off to get ready for her big show.
All five girls started doing a well-performed dance. All of them looked nice, even Mary who seemed to be uncomfortable in the dress, Jack thought. It was also five girls dancing in front of him so what kind of a guy wouldn't enjoy it anyway? Right? Soon the show was over and it was getting kind of late. Popuri pulled Jack away from the crowd to talk to him for a little bit.
"Hey!" She smiled. Popuri really did look cute when she wants to.
"Hi." Jack replied.
"I saw Karen with you earlier."
"Um...Yea, She was here." Jack said not knowing how to reply to that comment.
"I think you should try to avoid her. She is always coming in and stealing boyfriends away."
"Um...really?"
"All the guys fall for her just because she is so pretty and I have to admit that she is but she isn't going to steal you away right?" Popuri looked at Jack.
'Steal me away from her? This was already a relationship? Karen seemed pretty nice to me.' Jack thought in his head.
"No." Jack just said anyway because this conversation was getting a little bit awkward considering that Jack did ask Karen to the festival first.
"Hey, you want to walk around with me and talk."
"Sure. I'd like that." Jack said so they walked together off into the woods. Karen saw them and for some reason, she just followed them.
Jack and Popuri walked up the steps near the hot springs where they first met and started talking. Karen on the other hand was trying to get close to them.
"Have you met everyone in town yet? I could show you around here if you would like?" Popuri said.
"Ok." Jack said. He really didn't say much.
'I can't hear anything!' Karen thought to herself so she moved in closer.
"About that thing you said about Karen earlier..." Jack said when Karen interrupted him by falling over surprisingly enough.
"I told you! I told you Jack!" Popuri said.
"Karen? What are you doing here?" Jack said in a mean way.
"I...I...I was just..." Karen blanked out and she ran.
"What did I tell you? The first guy I liked and she just tries to steal him away and another thing is that she has my brother, Rick, as her boyfriend. This is just stupid. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Popuri said.
"Calm down." Jack said. "She's not going to steal me away from you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thanks." Popuri gave him a hug.
"It's getting late so I think we should go now." Jack said.
"Ok." Popuri cheerfully perked up. "Bye Jack!" She shouted as she walked down the steps.
'You know Karen really is what Popuri said. What was she doing here anyway? I'm glad that Karen refused me now that I really know the truth.' Jack thought in his head.
