Hello!

First, I just wanted to say, thank you for all the reviews! I really do appreciate them. I will try to make my chapters longer, but at the moment I'm falling down at a bit of a mental blank. I know where I'm going with this story; I'm just not quite sure how I'm going to make it there. Thank you everyone, you are really encouraging me to write.

Please don't hate me if this chapter is rubbish, as I haven't actually written it down anywhere, I'm just doing it off the top of my head. I really hope you don't mind if I miss a few things out.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except the clothes on my back. And a life. And a family. And loads of other things when you actually think about it.

Chapter 8: What do you want?

Fantastic, here comes Jared. Maybe I can hide in the toilets?

No, Kim. You have to face up to your fears.

"Oh, err....Hi Jared" cough cough.

"Kim, I thought I saw you there! What were you doing, hiding or something?"
Yes.

"No, of course not, what gave you that idea?"

"Oh, I dunno. So, how was Spanish?"

And the day continued on, Jared constantly following me around and making small talk.

I was a bit unsure what to think about this. I mean, who wouldn't want a completely gorgeous man following them around all day, but I'm not sure why he would want to. For some reason, ever since I met him in the classroom after our study date, he seemed determined to spend time getting to know me. We even sat together at lunch. I was slightly worrying, as he never even looked at his old friend's table.

The next morning I could swear that Jared looked more tired.

"Are you alright, you look a bit tired this morning," I asked.

"Yeah", he said in a weary voice. "I had a late night last night".

I took his word for it and let it go.

My relationship was getting stronger with Jared by the day. He was my closest friend, and my only friend, and sometimes, I could swear we were almost....soul mates.

"Hey, Kim, do you want to...you know," err, not really, "you know, go to the beach later on after school, I wanted to ask you something, without everyone here".

EEP!

"Err, sure Jared, I'll go with you" I replied, as smoothly as I could, though my heart was skipping.

"Cool", came his reply.

I spent the rest of the day almost dying from excitement, as I hoped that he would proclaim his love for me. I wasn't quite sure what I'd do if he did, but I hoped for it nonetheless.

The day dragged behind me, and I felt that I was constantly going in fast-motion. The only time the world seemed to slow me down was when I was with Jared. Today at lunch we were talking about our past clumsy experiences, and were having a type of competition to see who made the biggest fool out of themselves. I won, not surprisingly, as I, in a past holiday, walked straight into a lamppost, giving myself a minor concussion.

Before I knew it, the rest of the day was over, and I couldn't be more anxious or nervous to see what Jared is planning to ask me.

There you are guy, another chapter finished. I hope it wasn't too bad, as I sat there thinking to myself, "This sounds really bad, and my plot is all screwy in this chapter".

Any guesses why Jared is so tired? Or what he wants to ask Kim?

The next chapter might take a while, but I'm not sure. You'll know when it's up.

Thanks Guys,

Lots of love for everyone.
