CHANGING POINT
It had been a few months since Jack last talked to Mr. Johnson and everything finally made sense in his life. He knew without a doubt that he was falling in love with Kim; even though they haven't talked in months and had absolutely no idea what was happening next but he knew that he made the right choice.
It was a sunny spring day in early May as Seaford High was having a very special assembly. Everyone was gathered in the auditorium wanting to know what the big announcement was and once everyone was settled Mr. Johnson walked to the podium and started his speech.
"Good Afternoon Everyone. I know you are all curious on why you are here and I know 99.9 % don't even want to be here but I promise you it will be worth it. As some of you may know, two very talented individuals here at Seaford High got nominated for the Governor's Board Scholarship and I am pleased to announce they made their section so could Miss Kimberly Crawford and Mr. Jackson Brewer please come up here".
Everyone's eyes were glued to the duo. The principal was right when he said it was going to be worth it and they couldn't be more excited.
Jack and Kim made it to the stage, quickly giving each other a quick nod of 'good luck'. Mr. Johnson; who already knew what was happening was starting opening the envelope that was in his hand causing the room to fill with silence and tension. Once opened he quickly skimmed through the letter smiling causing Jack and Kim to start sweating. "Well, ladies and gentlemen we have a winner and it is", Mr. Johnson started as everyone was on the edge of their seats. "KIM CRAWFORD!" he finished yelling the name.
Everyone started to cheer as Kim was in utter shock and Jack had a huge smile on his face and at the moment he knew two things: 1-he couldn't be more proud and happy for Kim and 2- he definitely did the right thing. Everyone was clapping and enjoying the moment but it was soon going to turn around as Mr. Johnson silenced the room once again.
"Congratulations Miss. Crawford. We are all so proud of you but there is one more little surprise they threw in here. Mr. Brewer can you please come here", Mr. Johnson said with a smile. Jack made his way over the podium as Mr. Johnson handed him an envelope. Jack looked at the front as it was addressed to him. Curiously he ripped it open it to find two letters; one from the head board member and his own. He quickly pulled out the letter he didn't know and read it as the room was so quiet you could hear everyone's breathing.
"Dear Mr. Brewer,
We want to first off say how shocked we were to receive your second latter. I mean what bright student would turn down an offer like this but as we continued reading we saw something we haven't seen in a while and that is someone being honest and selfless. We know that you are following your heart and we can't hold that against you. We also wish the best and have decided to keep your scholarship fund open for you to decide what you want to do with it. Yes, this means you have also gotten the scholarship. Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Sten
Head Director.
P.S. read her your letter.
Jack was utterly speechless. He couldn't believe what just happened as Mr. Johnson walked over to Jack patting his back and signaling him towards the podium. After a moments hesitation Jack slowly made his way to podium trying to stay as calm as possible knowing that this is probably one of the most embarrassing things he has ever done. He took out his letter, quickly glancing over it, took a deep breath and started his speech.
"Hey Everyone. Now I know most or all of you know me but not the real me. Over these past 4 years I have become popular by getting involved in school activities but along the way I lost myself. The person I was before the stereotypes and status but there will always be one person by my side even if we haven't spoken in years. This person makes me want to be a better person and this person had changed my life in more ways than I can count. Just recently I have discovered that this is the most important of them all and that I love this person more than life itself and only want what's best for her and that person is the one and only Kim Crawford. Kim has the biggest heart of anyone I know; always trying to brighten your day when you are down and just by her smiling at you, she could put a smile on your face. She loves getting people involved and show school pride because she is proud of what we can achieve if we all work together and Kim never back down from a challenge. She is a fighter and knows how to stand her ground. I know there are a lot of people trying for this scholarship but I promise you Kim is your best choice and that is why I am declining your offer. Thank you so much for consideration and I hope you make the right choice."
Once Jack finished, the room was salient as everyone's mouth was on the floor. But he didn't care. All he cared about was the girl he loved and as he looked her in the eyes he saw her on the brink of tears. Everyone thought that that was one of the sweetest moments they have ever seen but that changed when they saw Kim run out of the auditorium with Jack following right behind her.
Kim ran into the empty hall trying to catch her breath and put everything in perspective. She was happy but shocked by Jack's actions and within seconds the one person who totally changed her life was right in front of her.
"Kim", Jack whispered softly.
Kim tried so hard to avoid his eyes on her but she just couldn't and finally looked up and asked, "Why?"
"Why what?" Jack asked back a little confused on where this conversation was going.
"Why this? Why now? Jack, we are growing up and leaving for college. Who knows what will happen but you just saying all those things just added to the sadness and pressure. Don't get me wrong I love you too but we have to go live our lives", Kim said softly looking straight ahead.
"Yeah, I know my timing sucks but I had to tell you before it was too late. But I promise you; no matter what happens we will always be together and later we can start fresh", Jack said grabbing Kim's hand and pulling her into him. They shared a loving embrace, just the way it used to be and the way it will always be. As they slightly pulled away they just stared into each other eyes and before they knew it they were both leaning in for the moment they have waited for. Finally their lips met in a sweet kiss filled with love that sent sparks all through their bodies and everything was perfect.
They couldn't be happier and knew that after that kiss they were something. Maybe not a real couple yet but something to look forward to in the future. Everything they felt was finally out in the open and that was all they could ask for, knowing that the one person they loved, loved them back. It was a good start for kick.
Please R&R and let me know what you think.
