Chapter 11

Jared was walking me to class.

I'm so lucky that Miss. Hicks is late or she would have scolded me or something.

Anna was looking at me questionably; I didn't even know there was a grin on my face until she pointed it out.

"Kim you look like an idiot, or some mentally sick person. Stop smiling like that. I mean I know you like to see me but for real I don't roll like that." Anna said in a sarcastic voice. She really is a good friend, and since she is such good friends with Debra I might be able to give her a chance. What the heck are you thinking; it is obvious that Debra hates your guts. That is true but I can at least say hi, right?

"Anny you're way to funny for me…"I said in a sarcastic voice and lowing my voice when I said "…I was talking to Jared before class" and I smiled, my facial expressions can't even explain how I'm feeling right now.

Her facial expressions were hilarious, they kept on changing. "Damn!' was all she can come up with, but with that huge grin I know she was happy for me. "What happened?" She asked me while waggling her eyebrows, I couldn't help but giggle. I playfully hit her on the arm. "We just talked; I mean I'm Kim for goodness sake, what would a guy like Jared want to do with a girl like me?" I told her trying to lower my voice. "I mean for real, two weeks ago, he didn't even talk to me or knowledge that I was alive, but now he just started to talk to me? I mean he did change physically and who he hangs out with but now it's with Paul! That has to mean that he's trying to make a joke or something and he could have talked to 'Sammy and Britt' and since they were good friends before and I did piss them off it makes sense." I told her and she was just starting at me, no gawking. She has to remember that prank Paul pulled on us in freshman year. "Okay, class sorry that I'm late." I took my attention off Anna(who by the way was still looking at me) and put it on Miss. Hicks no matter how boring class is going to feel I just don't want to explain myself to Anna right now.

As normal Miss. Hicks and Senora Garcia's classes were boring, you would think their sisters, but one is very white with blonde hair and one is Spanish and who is part Quileute, their so not related.

Anna didn't ask me anything about why I thought that this might not be real, and be a joke, I guess that she could see it happen and not sure what to do or say about it.

Since La Push High is such a small school my classes aren't that far from each other.

I walked into my trigonometry class, I was pretty much the only person there, so I went to my seat and sat down, and started to doddle random things on my notebook."Hey." A husky voice said to me. I looked up and couldn't help but smile, this boy made my metaphor, big, he pretty much made a new metaphor, and it was complementing me. I am Kimberly Marie Austin, why would anybody like me and I'll understand it if I was wearing what I normally wear, but I look worse than crap. Hello, Kim? You know you haven't answered him yet. Oh my gosh I haven't. "Hi" I looked up, only to notice that he already sat down. Nice that was smooth almost as smooth as butter. Almost. Geez he must think I'm a dork."So Kim, what are you thinking about? You seem so focused on something." He asked me, I'm still trying to get that in my head. "Uh, Nothing really." I told him not sure where the heck this conversation is going? "I don't believe that but okay." Than something popped into my head I didn't even have time to process it until it came out. "Why did you start talking to me?" nice one, that was even smoother. Gosh can I be blunter. He just looked at me and chuckled at my face expression. "Well to tell you the truth, you just kind of stood out when I came back." "Oh" then Mr. Green stepped in.

After our math class I started to pack up my books, and eyeing Jared from the corner of my eye. He seemed normal enough. As I picked up my stuff and started to walk away. I stepped out and tripped, this is just perfect I bet you that Jared saw it all. I don't think I've said this enough but Smooth!

Everybody's was outside of the classroom and saw me trip, I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. Then I felt a hot hand on my hand trying to help me up (I couldn't help but realize that my hand in his hand was perfect, and that it's really, really hot!). I took the hand and he had all my books in the other hand, and I didn't have time to think before it escaped my mouth. "Wow, your hot!" and of course I was looking straight in his eyes (which I had to crane my neck to do so.) so he knows I was talking to him. You'd think I was blushing before; I looked like a tomato now. He just laughed at my response. "I mean…your warm… but I'm not saying that your not….. Good looking because your totally gorgeous…..uh I mean thanks!" Haha I enjoyed watching that! Oh My Gosh I can't believe I said that he must think I'm some kind of Dork or something. Before I could embarrass myself anymore I snagged my books from him and walked away. Missy that isn't consider as walking that's more of running. Whatever I did, I just got out of there. I went to my locker since we have 5 minutes between each class.

I forgot my art book, so either way I would have had to come back. "So you think I'm gorgeous?" I already knew who it was without turning, but still did turn. "No…Maybe…..Yes." I said the last part while exhaling my breath; he chuckled at my response, while tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. "Um..Well Kim I was wondering if you wanted to go get some ice cream after school?"Did he just ask me out? My heart feels like it's going to pound out of my chest. I think that he can hear it too, that's how loud it is, and all he is doing is looking adorable and he's smiling. "Yes!" But what if he is trying to pull a joke. This can be a plan you know, just to see you hurt! That's crazy, just shut up. Seeing his happiness was amazing , I couldn't help but smile (I would have either way I've been waiting for this moment since I was in grade 8). "Okay well I got to hurry up, bye." While I was saying that I couldn't help but smile. And I walked away.

X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X

I came out of art class still wondering what I'm going to do with that project about that animal, ugh! I thought art would be some relief but it's hard work. I stepped out and didn't trip. And I saw Jared and felt the smile go on my face. We started walking together (I have no idea what is wrong with this boy but whatever it is I like it). "hey but this has been bugging me for like ever, even though it was this morning, but still why are you so… warm?" I paused not wanting to say the H word again."Well it just kind of happened I guess, before I….left to California I got this fever and I never got back to a normal temperature." Oh my gosh he's sick. "You're sick?" I was worried and you can tell by how my voice sounded. "No, I'm not going to get sick! I promise." He told me. "Kay'" was all I could say.

Me and Jared decided to meet up with in the front foyer after the bell. I can't believe a few hours ago I felt like crap. And now I'm so vibrant nobody can make me feel like crap, at least not today. The foyer of La Push High's foyer is pretty open, the roof starts about a ft above were the doors finish and it slants up to where it meets the actual roof, and the roof that slants up is made out of glass, so we get "natural" lighting, but since it's always cloudy we have lights on the wall and a few sky lights on that roof. The office it at the right of the doors. The first thing you see when you come in the front foyer is the hall and the lockers are at the other side of it and one class room off at the left. And on the left in the foyer is a bench. That's where I'm sitting describing this room and the office has the fakest plants in front of it. I can tell its fake from where I am right now and I'm 27 meters away from it. While I was waiting I was trying to count how many tiles there is. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21… Ring! That clock rang, I looked at it was 5 I have been waiting for 2 hours, I can't believe he stood me up. I can feel the tears trying to come through. I picked up my bag and walked out of the school.

I went to the bus stop and yet again having to wait. At least it won't ditch me like Jared did. When the bus came I went straight to the back and sat down. I think this could have been a joke or a prank of his, don't worry somebody might come and make you feel better. Yeah might. I wanted to cry, but I knew I couldn't , no matter what. Jared was the one that made me happy today and but made me feel like crap, no worse than crap I rather feel like crap than how I'm feeling right now.

Somebody sat beside me. I looked at them and gave them the best smile I can muster up right now for him not really looking at him. Then looked out of the window again. "Kim?" I voice said, it was a deep voice that I didn't recognize. I looked at him(he was the one that was sitting beside me). "Do I know you?" I asked trying to be polite. "It's me. Bradley Henderson, remember?" I looked at him I mean really looked at him. His face cleared up he was wearing contacts and he had no more braces, he was tall maybe 6'1ft or something, and he didn't look bad I mean if he looked like this in middle school I would have dated him. I smiled at him "No way!" I said shocked not because he was here and not in California but he looked good and it shocked me. "Yes way!" he replied. I couldn't help but smile, that's why I was friends with this boy but he really isn't a boy anymore he's more of a man. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "My parents split up." Ah snap I remembered them they looked happy and in love last time I saw them. "Oh sorry." I said I don't know why but I did. "No don't worry, it doesn't matter. So anyway my mom wanted to move back here so we can be close to my grandma. So we moved back to La Push."I kept on looking at him. He skin tone was traditional, and his hair was jet black and it shined in the light it shined. His eyes are green he got it from his dad, since his mom is full Quileute. And he was well built. I was impressed. The only thing I can say was "Oh." He just smiled at me. Those eyes they were so green and clear I loved looking at them, they were warm and inviting. "Kim I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house?" I can see his mom and his mom was so sweet, Bradley made me forget what Jared did, and I'm so happy that he was here. Oh yeah I got to answer his question since I'm almost home. "Yeah." He just looked at me. "You mean now?" I asked not sure what he meant really. "Yeah, I know its last minute, but my mo…" he sure did ramble. "Yeah sure."

We got off about 10 minutes later, and I just noticed the bag he had in his hands. "What's in the bag?" I asked. "Oh , my mom asked if I could get some groceries." His house was next to the forest too. I looked and I saw something moved but shoved that thought at the back of my mind. We went in his house. His house was beautiful they only had a few couches and a flat screen up in the hall way and at the of the wall boxes."Bradley? when did you move back?" I asked. "We moved back early this morning. I'm going to enroll myself at La Push High Monday." Then Mrs. I mean Miss. Henderson came in she was wearing a apron still looking beautiful for a mom at least. She gave me a smile than turned to Bradley. "Bradley why did you bring this young lady here today, look at our house right now, it's in no condition to have guests." They were bickering like I wasn't here. I wasn't sure what to do. "Uh… I think I should leave then." I said while turning towards the door. "No wait…" I stopped and looked at Bradley. "Mom it's Kim." He told her like that would make up for everything. She turned to me and smiled "Ah! Kim your all grown up and your beautiful." Coming towards me to give me a hug. "Thank you Miss. Henderson."

"Kim would you like to go to the ice cream parlor we used to go to when we were kids than you can leave, and go home so your dad doesn't murder me." He said laughing. He was asking me out, at least he won't ditch me like Jared. "Of course." I told him. And we left.

We got to the ice cream parlor and decided to share a banana spilt since his mom kept on shoving food down our throats. "So Miss Kim, does those bitches Samantha and Brittany still live here?" Bradley asked me. "Oh sorry we still have to put up with them." I told him, I want them gone with Debra as soon as possible.

"Hey Bradley want to play that game were we ask one question then you answer than you ask me a question?"

"Yeah sure" he answered "okay I'll start."

"So what was it like in California?

"Sunny, beaches, warm, stuff like that."

"Kim how was it here?"

"Grey, cloudy, just like how you remember it"

"Bradley do you have a girlfriend with a gorgeous tan?" he just started to laugh at it but answered

"Uh well no, I don't have one with a gorgeous tan, but overall I don't have a girlfriend. I'm a single freak!" he said sarcastically.

"What about you miss Kimberly Marie Austin do you have one?"

"Well Mr. Bradley James Henderson, I don't have a girlfriend, and I for sure don't have a boyfriend." I replied.

X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X

We got off the bus and he walked bit and kind of stopped in my driveway. "Well, Miss Kim, it was a pleasure to have you see my home and my mum and come have some ice cream with me." He said in a British accent. I laughed I really did miss him. "Well Mr. Bradley it was a pleasure to have accompanied you ." I said in a British accent too. "I really did have a good time with you, I really, really, really, really missed you." I said in a normal voice. "I've missed you too so much." He said with a smile, and I smiled back. He bent down and leaned closer to me(or my face) and I stepped on my tippy-toes so I won't be so short. And we kissed, my first kissed ever. It was warm and inviting. It was soft and then gradually got harder. I felt his tongue on my lips asking for entrance and I didn't even think I just opened my mouth. I didn't even notice when I was against the car. Where the heck did I learn this from? But as soon as or tongues touched it was electric, everything happened really fast, it was almost magical. I loved having the feeling of his body against mine. Then we heard a growl from the forest we both stopped and looked in the forest trying to figure out what was the cause of that growl. I couldn't help but think of that wolf I keep on seeing. We both looked at each other, we both were breathing heavily. We just smiled at each other. "Wow." Was all that Bradley said. "Yeah wow." I said agreeing with him. It was getting dark. I know Bradley noticed when I looked up at the sky, and also knowing that he was thinking the same thing I was thinking. "Uh… I guess it getting late, I should go." "Yeah maybe you should." I was craving more I have no idea what it meant but he was walking away. I pulled his shirt back and kissed him passionately, and this time I was asking for entrance, and he allowed me in as easily. He didn't stop until we were both out of breathe. I looked up at him and gave him a grin. He gave one back to me. "Well I think I should go now, and as do you." I knew he was right. "Alright then." I said in a sarcastic tone then said "Bye." He turned around and replied me "Bye, hey me and my mom are going to be more settle in on Sunday and tomorrow were going to buy me a car so, Sunday night 6:30 I'll pick you up.?" He was asking me out again."Yeah I would totally want to see your new car!" "Alright then it's a date. Bye." He said while turning and walking away, and I finally letting him walk away. "Yep. It's a date. Bye." I turned around and walked up my porch, and feeling guilty for some reason. I opened the door and heard a howl, then stepped in and closed the door.
