Chapter 4 Party

That night, before six o'clock I took a shower and dressed in my jeans-as usual- and wore my sweater.

Jared came to pick me up after a short while and we walked all the way to First Beach in an awkward silence. I could tell he wanted to tell me something but couldn't just get it out. It was better that way.

When we got there, the place was crowded and the noise level was so high I just wanted to cover my ears and shut the people up with tape. Hmm, that's actually a good idea except I forgot some tape. I could borrow some …

"Hey, Kim! Over here" I looked to where the voice was coming from and noticed Grace waving her arm at me whilst holding a drink with the other. Jared was staring at me non-stop and looked away when I noticed him.

"D-do you want me to get you a drink Kim?" he asked.

"No, it's okay. I'll get it myself" I replied.

"Okay. Well, I'll just be here if you need anything" he said.

"Sure. I'm just gonna go over to Grace for a while and talk. Bye" I turned away and walked towards where Grace was crowded around her friends.

"Hi, Kim. Sit down. I'll get you a drink" she pulled me down and sat down next to her.

She was sitting around with her usual friends. Jo, Carol, Sam, Amy, Janie ad Alex. They were all talking about school and relationships and stuff. I just listened in and they never minded me. Sometimes they were asking me questions on my opinion and I just answered as I would.

"So Kim, anyone you like in school? Don't worry you can tell us. We won't tell anyone" Janie turned to me followed by the others.

"Oh, ummm, well. I don't really like anyone right now. I'm not really into that sort of thing" I lied. Kind of. Well I really wasn't into that sort of thing truthfully but I did like someone and of course you know who it is.

"Oh come on Kim" Amy insisted "Grace has been telling us all about your love life and I think someone has a little crush on Jare-"

"What!? No. I-I don't like Jared. And if you're curious about him walking me here, he's just a friend that's all." My heart did a little curse as I said this and I flinched just a little.

"What? He walked you over. I thought he was dating someone else. Must be just Rachel. She makes the weirdest and most untrue rumours ever. Remember that one where she said Mr Edwards played with gays every Saturday and Sunday in the afternoon at the park, and get this without their tops. I mean come on. Topless football with gay men!" Grace scoffed and drank down her drink.

"Hey, who wants to play ''I've never'" Jo

There was a murmur of agreement but I didn't say anything.

Everyone grabbed their drinks and I did as well. Hey! Where did that come from? Huh!

"Okay, I'll start. I've never…had a long-term relationship before. You know, like serious, just flings." Amy said. Only Sam and Janie took a sip from their cups.

"Okay, me next" Grace said, "I've never had a one night stand before." Everyone took a drink except me, Alex and obviously Grace.

Everyone took a drink, except me, Alex and obviously Grace, before a bunch of giggles broke out from everyone.

"What?" Grace protested, "It's just that I want my…first time to be with someone that I really love and trust and care for more than my own life." After this Grace took a quick glance at Adam before looking at the fire crackling in the middle. No one seemed to notice except for me. I didn't know if anyone knew that Grace liked Adam but I did know that they all thought she liked Jacob though. Or was it Paul? Either way.

"Me now. Okay, I've never had a boyfriend before" Jo beamed proudly smiling at everyone.

"Really? Wow, you must have a life" Carol said sarcastically before everyone laughed at her joke. Jo lightly slapped Carol's shoulder playfully before smiling even wider.

After everyone else had their go's, it was my turn. But in my head, I hoped that they were too caught up in everyone's 'confessions' too even notice me but they did, unfortunately.

"Kim, your go." Sam said. I froze and didn't know what to say.

"Ummm, I- I've never… umm…err…had any friends when I was young." I said.

Everyone drank their drinks but after, looked at me with a pitiful expression. It got kind of annoying so I just cleared my throat and everyone stopped staring. I sighed.

"So if you didn't have any friends then, what did you do?" Janie suddenly asked curiously.

"Uhhh…well, back then I was a bit of a crazy and weird child. Kinda ugly too." I chuckled a bit but everyone looked at me pitifully…again. So I continued…

"So no one wanted to play with me. I got kinda lonely so I decided to make up my own imaginary friend called Clifford. That was when I was 5 years old. We used to walk by the beach whenever my parents took me there so I could 'mingle' with the other children. But no one wanted to talk to me so I would hide behind these big rocks and talk to Clifford about how all the other children were mean, bossy and arrogant." I smiled softly at the memory and everyone else was smiling with me. That made me kinda happy.

"What else happened?" Alex pressed, interested.

"Well, a couple of years later, I was 9 years old and my mom and dad thought I was old enough to get home from school but I wanted Clifford to come with me because I was lonely. So, I walked to the road crossing with Clifford and I crossed the road. But this car was going over the speed limit and luckily I jumped out of the way but Clifford got ran over and died. It sounds kinda stupid but my imagination just took control of my mind when I was younger. I came home with scratches and bruises on my legs and face so my mom cleaned me up and my parents hugged me for almost an hour saying how they loved me and they were never going to let me go. I went to my bedroom after and locked the door. I stayed in there for like two whole days because Clifford died and I had lost my only friend. I couldn't make a new imaginary one because…well…Clifford was irreplaceable back then. But now, I'm older so it got childish and forgot all about it." I was out of breath as I explained but sad at the same time for my long-dead, imaginary friend, Clifford.

"That's too bad" Grace said pitifully. Everything seemed to be pitiful tonight.

As the minutes past we forgot about the game we were playing and talked about our life and stuff but I felt happy in a long time instead of my always depressed state. Being depressed all the time wasn't such a bad thing because you could just think about all your big problems in front of you and find ways to make them better but now this happy feeling is kinda better.

Change of POV

Jared POV

I couldn't stop looking at Kim the whole time and I could tell that she was starting to enjoy talking to the other girls. She used to be so…quiet. I'm glad she's enjoying herself. Because when Kim's happy, I'm hap-

"Jared, dude would you stop looking at Kim. I mean, come on, you're even drooling" Paul nudged me. What was that? I was drooli- Oh right. I wiped the liquid off my mouth and turned to Paul.

"I'm not staring at Kim, I'm staring at the stars" I looked up and pretended to smile at the scenery.

"Yeah, considering that there are NO STARS" Paul exclaimed. Damn him! I mean, why can't I stare at Kim. I imprinted on her. Really annoys me.

I sighed and continuing to stare at Kim and suddenly stood up.

"I'll be a minute" I said to the guys and they nodded at me. I approached Kim as she was conversed in talk with Grace and her friends. They had expressions like they were actually interested and was listening to Kim as she talked about something. Grace saw me and tore her eyes away from Kim.

"Hey, Jared" she greeted. The others suddenly looked at me and smiled. Kim stopped talking and looked at me with a soft smile. Her smile is so sweet it makes me want to cry.

"Hey" she said in a coy and silent voice. My mind went blank as I looked at her angelic face staring up at me but I remembered why I was here.

"Kim, can I talk to you for a minute" I asked her. She frowned for a moment and cleared her throat.

"Sure" she replied. She stood up and followed me. The others didn't say anything but had smirks on their faces.

I led Kim away from the scenery and took her somewhere quieter. Then I turned around and faced her.

"Kim, I have to tell you something…"
