Chapter 4
Kim's point of view
History is my last class before lunch. I sit down and get out my textbooks. I hear everyone gasp and look up, Jared and Paul just walked in. Wow I didn't realize Jared changed so much. He's even more beautiful! They scowl at everyone and turn to the teacher. I turn back to my books and feel a tap on my shoulder. I look behind me and see Carlie with her jaw dropped.
"Okay you can go on liking him," she says and I chuckle. After Jared and Paul gave the teacher their slips they went to their seats, on both my sides. I could feel the heat coming off them and it comforted me.
"Here's some notes on what we were learning while you two were away," I say handing Jared and Paul notes.
"Thanks," Paul grumbles slumping into his chair.
"Thank you Kim," Jared says looking ahead and I smile. Class starts and I slowly start to fall asleep. STUPID LEECH!
Carlie's point of view
Half way through class Jared, Paul, and Kim fell asleep. What did Kim do last night that made her so tired? Was she hanging out with Paul and Jared since they're asleep too? When Mr. Parks, our history teacher, turns to the board I throw a ball of paper at Kim's head.
"Hm Ryan?" she mumbles and looks up.
"Stay awake!" I whisper.
"Sorry, thanks," she says and I mouth "no problem" to her as Mr. Parks turns to us.
Kim's point of view
Thank goodness for Carlie! I look to my sides and see Paul and Jared asleep. Should I wake them up? Jared looks so peaceful and cute though, oh well. When Mr. Parks isn't looking I punch their arms knowing they won't wake up so easily. Paul looks at me and glares. I turn to Jared and see that he still looks tired but when he looks into my eyes he's wide awake. His beautiful dark brown eyes bore into my chocolate-brown orbs. His warm hand reaches toward me and caresses my cheek. I sigh in content and he smiles at me.
"Kim," he whispers.
"Jared," I whisper back.
"Great!" Paul groans and I roll my eyes.
"Mr. Cameron please remove your hand from Miss Connweller!" Mr. Parks yells and I blush as the whole class turns to us. Jared let's go of me reluctantly and Mr. Parks returns to his speech. I turn toward the front of the room and play attention to the speech, well try to anyways. I couldn't focus because Jared stares at me the whole time!
"Now class I'm assigning you a person from the Revolutionary War to write a 5,000 word essay on, due in two weeks it will cost 1/4 of your grade," Mr. Parks says. Some of the class grumbles or curses, like Paul. Mr. Parks tells everyone their assigned person, I get Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley aka Molly Pitcher. I'm happy I got her, she's a very strong and brave women. Carlie gets Deborah Sampson, Paul gets Benjamin Franklin and Jared gets Paul Revere. The bell rings and everyone packs up their things.
"You're dismissed, except Mr. Cameron, Mr. Lahote, and Miss Connweller," Mr. Parks says and the class goes 'ohhh'. I grab my bag and go to Mr. Parks desk.
"Yes Mr. Parks?" I ask as Jared and Paul come behind me.
"You three are to be in detention after school for an hour," he says and Paul groans.
"Next time don't fall asleep in my class, I don't except this from you Miss Connweller," he says handing us detention slips.
"Yes Mr. Parks, I won't let it happen again," I say and head out of class meeting Carlie in the hallway.
"What happened?" she asks.
"Detention for sleeping," I say.
"Bummer," she says and we walk toward the cafeteria. I then feel a warm hand on my shoulder. I spin around face Jared with Paul behind him.
"Hey Kim I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry that you got detention because of me," Jared says and I smile.
"It wasn't your fault I fell asleep too," I say.
"Oh well um thanks for waking us up," he says.
"No problem," I say.
"Well it was nice talking to you Jared but we got to go," Carlie says and then drags me into the lunch room. I smile one last time at Jared and then Paul drags him outside.
