-1Chapter 2
I seriously do not like working across from Kelly. I mean,
she's a nice person, but the girl talks way too much. Why Michael
put me back here…I cannot answer that. I guess the answer to that
might be because it was the only place open for me to work. She told
me yesterday that she had a crush on Ryan the temp. I seriously don't
care at all at this point because that's all she ever talks
about!
I seriously like Jim Halpert. Ok, that was really stupid.
How could anyone not like him? He's cute, smart, and funny. I
always watch him play some dirty trick on Dwight. It's great. I'm
afraid to say things to him though. I'm not really the timid, shy
person. Actually, in my high school year book I was quoted as The
Biggest Flirt. I had no trouble talking to guys; they usually had
trouble talking to me.
So, why am I so afraid to talk to Jim?
Well, mostly because he's in a relationship right now. As far as I
know, he's been dating this girl named Katy who sells purses. I
wasn't around to meet her when she came here, and I'm glad I
didn't. There probably would have been a cat fight or something!
Well…I'm actually just kidding about that. Aaron would probably
kill me if he saw me with another guy.
I usually don't eat lunch
with everyone either. Pam has urged me to come and eat lunch with the
"group," but I usually just say no.
"Why not?" she keeps
asking me.
I finally decided to tell her why this afternoon. "Can
you keep a secret?"
We went down the hallway where no one could
hear or see us. I looked around, just to make sure. "I have a crush
on Jim."
"Why is that such a big deal?"
"Pam, I have a
boyfriend. Aaron would probably kill me if he saw me out with other
guys. I mean, what about you and Roy?"
"Jim and I are just
friends…nothing else."
I hesitated. "I'm sorry. I didn't
mean it like that."
She smiled. "It's all right. Want to go
out somewhere?"
"Thank you! I have to get away from Kelly!"
And we hurried out the door.
