"Jared!" I blushed, though I couldn't fathom why, and wondered what he was doing here. "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't know if you had a ride to school today so…" He trailed off as my brother and father came up behind me, Larry making kissing noises causing my blush to deepen. "Oh hello sir, I was just asking Kim is she needed a ride this morning, but I assume that is where you're headed?"
My father looked over at me and must have seen that I really wanted to go with Jared because he lied. And my dad is real big on the truth. "Actually Kid, I have to be at the office early and I have to drop off Larry too, if you could take Kimmy that'd be a big help."
Jared beamed like my father had just presented him with the Holy Grail or something. "Of course sir, my pleasure!" And with that he grabbed my hand and pulled me to his car, opening the passengers' door. "You sure you don't want to drive?"
"No, thanks though."
"Anything." He shut the door and went around climbing into the drover's side. "You look lovely Kim." He noted, as I looked him over, he was wearing cut-off denim trousers and a black t-shirt that clung to all the right places.
"You don't look half bad yourself." He raised his eyebrows, smirking slightly.
"Well thank you." There were a hundred things I could have said I'm sure. However I just leaned over and gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek, and then I slipped out of the jeep leaving a bemused looking Jared in the car.
He quickly recovered and walked me to my locker and then class. He nearly got us in trouble five times in our last four classes, passing notes and talking, and he insisted on buying my lunch and sitting with me. He was so perfect, even more so than I had imagined he was as I fantasized in English class.
