[it hurts to look at you]

SHOUT OUTS:
Gypsy: Haha, thanks man. I think it's pretty creative and original too! I'm so sick of seeing 'Girl Running away from her past she's perfect and all the boys love her'. I enjoy humor, and it's almost sad, and sick that I enjoy myself so much. I was writing the kissing scene and I was laughing my ass off. It was such good times. So, mwaha, thanks a bunch! I feel so sad and pathetic that I only got two reviews, but thanks for leaving one! I'll have to check out your stuff. :oP thanks!
Glimmer: Why, thank you! Yeah, the sister is an evil whorish bitch who treats her younger sister like crapola. Although I am not unbelievably geeky and freakish, the sister is somewhat modeled after my whorish and bitch sister. :o) Good times good times, thanks for the review and… uh, rock and roll!

"Claire," rang Penny's voice in exclamation, "WAKE UP CLAIRE!" She began to wheeze.
"Penny," Claire blinked up at her, "It's not even dawn yet, be quiet."
"Claire, look around you." Squeaked Penny's voice, "We're on a bench in Central Park."
Claire twitched up to her full-fledged sitting capacity, and squinted all around her. "Wow, you're right Penny. Neat." She said, almost still asleep.
"Hello, CENTRAL PARK! This is where all the crimes take place Claire, this is where people," she stopped to look around her, "get raped."
"Oh Penny," smirked Claire rolling her eyes at her friend, "I highly doubt anyone tried to rape us last night."
"Uh, maybe this is a bad time to interrupt this conversation ladies, but you look a little lost." His thick New York accent just dripping with sex appeal along with everything to go with it.
Claire just stared at him, her mouth hanging open.
"Well sir," began Penny, "My friend Claire and I were supposed to spend last night at my house but last night when we were walking from her house to my house we saw lights over in Central Park."
"Ah, I see." Said the boy.
"So, I said to her, I said, 'Claire, my mother wanted us to come straight home', and her being her, she dragged me over here."
"Uh huh."
"So, it turns out there was some boat competition over in the pond, that we just had to sign up for. Well, we got a little crazy, and ended up spending the night here in Central Park."
"So you're not lost?" he said taking a seat next to Penny.
"Gosh no, I live down the street. But heck, was it scary waking up here, in Central Park!"
He looked at her for a minute; "I lived here for about a month."
Penny swallowed, and her eyes grew large like grapefruits. "Gosh sir, I'm so sorry."
He chuckled, letting out the kindest laugh either of the girls had ever heard. "Well," he started, "I don't live here any more, now do I? So I guess I'm doing OK." Penny laughed nervously, "By the way, I'm Jack."
He held his hand out to her; they looked so big and worn. Penny looked at it for a minute, and fixed her skirt. Her voice was more nervous then Claire ever heard it, it got even higher when she was nervous. "Uhhh, Penny."
"And you must be, Claire?" he said smiling at her, holding out his hand to her as well.
She just looked at it; she looked at his hand and studied each crease, each particle of dirt. He pulled his hand away and looked at her like she was crazy. Her eyes grew large as her head turned up and she found herself looking face to face with Jack Kelly. A goofy grin spread across her face as she looked at him, until she felt herself moving closer to him.
"What are you doing?" he said standing up suddenly.
Claire blinked out of her daze and realized what she was just attempting to do. She wasn't trying to kiss him, it was almost like there were magnets attached to his mouth and she needed to reconnect. He was so perfect in every way; she didn't know how to act.
"Penny, what's up with your friend? She mute or something?" He said looking hopefully at Penny.
Penny hit Claire in the head and smiled fakely at Jack. "Oh no she's not mute, it's just, uh, early."
Jack looked unsurely at Claire, and she still couldn't talk. Face to face with Jack Kelly, she was speechless. Then he looked at Penny and smiled and laughed, "Uh, I'll be seeing you around then, I hope."
"Hopefully," said Penny trying to fix her hair. And watched as he walked away.
"Claire! Did you see that HUNK?" Said Penny, beginning to wheeze and loose her cool.
"Penny, do you not remember the JACK KELLY I was telling you about?" said Claire almost violently.
Then the excitement in Penny's face went out like a light, and her posture slumped. "Oh, yeah," she said hopelessly.
Claire had seen the spark between her geeky friend Penny and the ever-handsome Jack Kelly but, 'I saw him first' she thought to herself. After she made that thought she stopped herself and wondered if that was too harsh. 'Nah," she thought to herself and continued to plan her and Jack's wedding in her head.
