Summary: Basically a story about the past. Kirsten and Jimmy are the main characters. Jimmy's just moved into the OC and is having trouble settling into school. Will Kirsten help? As the title says this is showing how history tends to repeat itself.
Pairing: Kirsten Jimmy
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the OC characters. I own Jerry and Sarah. Not really but I own the names and the personalities cos I don't know what the actual characters are like.
Chapter 3: Bus trip
"Yo, Coop!" Jimmy looked up and saw Jerry waving energetically from a seat in the middle of the bus. Then Ms Riley yelled at him to sit down and for Sarah to hurry up and sit next to him. Jerry's carefree attitude disappeared as Sarah sat down and they immediately moved as far away form each other as possible. They both adopted a sulky expression and stared in the immediately opposite direction from each other.
Jimmy looked around for another seat and saw the vacant seat next to Kirsten. He immediately walked over and asked,
"Is anybody sitting here?" Kirsten looked up and, seeing Jimmy, shoved her bag off the seat and Jimmy sat down gratefully. He saw the overhead compartments and asked Kirsten, as he stowed his own bag,
"Do you want me to put your bag up here?" Kirsten handed him her bag and said,
"Thanks Jimmy." He smiled at her and heaved her bag up into the compartment and closed the lid with a click. He slid back into his seat and his leg accidentally touched Kirsten's. They both turned red and moved slightly apart.
After a minute or so they finally got over their embarrassment to strike up a conversation.
"So you used to live in New York?"
"Yeah, for a couple of years. It was pretty cool but California is way better. All the sunshine and beaches and there's less pollution. I don't like skyscrapers." Jimmy blushed and then continued, "I'm sort of...scared of heights." Kirsten looked at him for a second and then hesitantly took his hand in hers and said,
"It's ok." Their eyes connected and Jimmy smiled, encouraged by Kirsten's smile.
Meanwhile on the other side of the bus...
"Stop touching me!" Sarah yelled
"I'm not touching you! The bus suddenly swerved and I couldn't hold on to anything so I accidentally bumped into you! And the reason that I couldn't hold on to anything is that you refuse to let me hold on to the arm rest in the middle of our chairs. The middle which means that we should both get to hold onto it." Jerry retorted. Not being able to come up with something as substantial, or long, as this Sarah just looked sulkily back across the aisle. Jerry sighed in exasperation and was about to turn back to the window when...
"Stop breathing on me! You probably just gave me, like, AIDS or something!" Jerry gave her a death look and then sneezed. On Sarah. The guy who had been sitting behind them, happily listening in and enjoying it knew what was coming and he ducked under the seat.
"Oh my god! YOU JUST SNEEZED ON ME! NOW I'M GOING TO BE SICK FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOURSELF! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE SO THICK!" Jerry wiped some imaginary spit off his face,
"Well you just SPAT on me. You happy? Now you probably gave me AIDS back." Jerry and Sarah then began arguing in earnest and didn't wait until the other was done before yelling now.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, I DIDN''T SPIT ON YOU..."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN WALK THE WAY YOUR NOSE IS SO STUCK UP..."
"YOU'RE SUCH A LYING..."
"YOU'RE SUCH A WHINY..."
"SCUMBAG!"
"BRAT!"
"LOSER!"
"COW!"
"IF THE BOTH OF YOU DON'T STOP RIGHT THIS MINUTE WE ARE GOING TO TURN THIS BUS AROUND AND NOT GO TO CAMP!" Ms Riley yelled from the front of the bus. They both immediately shut up and looked at each other with pure hate before turning their back to one another.
An Hour Later...
"We're here!" The call went throughout the bus and all the student's faces looked out the window to see their camp for the next week. They were all extremely disappointed. There were a few cabins and a dining room and the rest was forest.
Jerry looked out glumly at the few buildings and had Sarah's whiny voice in one ear he thought that it was going to be a long week. As Jimmy looked out at Kirsten, completely ignoring the camp and the lack of buildings, he smiled and thought that time was going to fly.
