Chapter 5 : Missing Her

Kim sat in her English lesson, willing for it to be over. Normally she loved English, but normally Jessica was talking to her. It had been two weeks since the news, and Jessica hadn't spoke one word to Kim. Kim had been spending more time with her other 'siblings' especially Jake and Mike. But it still wasn't the same. School was terrible. Jessica still sat next to Kim, she didn't really have a choice, but she never spoke. Kim never dared to try and start up a conversation, too afraid of the rejection. Recess wasn't so bad, Kim's grade shared a playground with Mike's grade, and he let her hang out with him and his hockey-crazed friends. But Kim still missed the old days, where her and Jessica would sit on their favourite bench, discussing books. Those days were long gone. Now sitting on the bench beside Jessica was Clelia, a beautiful girl with tanned skin and big brown eyes. But they definitely weren't talking about books. Clelia may have been pretty, but she wasn't clever, and held no interest in books.

Kim felt relieved as the lesson ended, and the end of school bell rang. She plucked up the courage to talk to Jessica, "Hey, Jess –"

"Come on Jessie, let's go!" Called Clelia, and off Jessica went, without a backwards glance at Kim.

Kim trailed towards the front of the school, where Tom picked them up, disappointed. She thought maybe if she tried making the first move, it'd work, but clearly she was wrong. "Hi, Kim!" Mark called, he was the only one who'd got to the front of the school yet. "Oh, hi Mark." Kim replied. "Is everything okay? You seem a little down." He said, concerned. "No, I'm great." Kim lied, smiling. She felt her stomach tighten as she saw Clelia and Jessica, hand in hand. Kim tugged at her pink cardigan sleeves nervously.

They had begun wearing different clothes since the argument. At first, Kim would wait to see what Jessica wore, then would come downstairs wearing her version of the outfit. Then Jessica would rush back upstairs, and come back down wearing something completely different. Kim still kept trying for a few days, but then she just gave up. "Hey, Kimmy." Jake smiled as he sat down next to her on the metal bench. "How long d'ya think Dad'll be today?" He laughed. Kim shrugged. "Hey, she'll come around. Just forget about her for now. Yeah?" Jake put his arm around her shoulders. Kim nodded. "Thanks, Jake."

Jake smiled. "Hey, what are big brothers for?"

Mike walked towards the front of school, when he saw Clelia with Jessica and the others. "Hey, who are you?" He asked her bluntly. "Who wants to know, Shortie?" She remarked. "Hey, shut up!" Mike shouted. Clelia smirked. "What are you gonna do, I mean your what, 5?"

Mike frowned. "Try seven."

"Whatever, Dork." Clelia laughed.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Jake shouted. "Oh please, like I'm gonna do what you say!" She laughed.

The argument stopped as Tom pulled up. Clelia got in aswell. "Oh great, she's coming." Kim muttered to Jake. Clelia fluttered her eyelashes. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr Baker. I hope it's not too much trouble me coming round for dinner." She gave a perfect, dimpled smile.

"No it's fine. What a lovely young girl you are." Tom smiled. "God you're brothers are dorks!" Clelia hissed to Jessica once they were in the back of the car, so Tom couldn't hear her. Jessica frowned. "No, they're actually pretty cool once you get to know them." Clelia rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

Once they got into the house, Clelia was back into sweetness and light mode, everyone except Jake, Mike, Mark and Kim loved her. When they sat own to dinner, Clelia went to sit in Kim's place. Jake put his hand out to stop her. "That's where Kimmy sits." He said politely. "Well I'm sure 'Kimmy' can sit somewhere else." She hissed, pushing past his arm. Kim sat next to Kyle, biting her lip. Jessica was acting so different with Clelia around, it was like she had no mind of her own. When it had been Jessica and Kim, Jessica had been the feisty one, the loudmouth. But now, everything had changed. Kim couldn't help but miss her all the same. And deep down, Jessica missed Kim too, and she couldn't stand Clelia. But Jessica was too mad at Kim to talk to her. No matter how much she missed her. She would never speak to her again.

But she couldn't help but miss her.
