* Okay, I was wrong. I had a little bit more time than I had thought. Here is another update. Kim's point of view. Ooooh. Haha.
Kim
I watched as Jared slowly began to calm down and stop shaking, altogether. I had begun to realize that it was something Jared did when he was angry, or just upset about something-it was the same thing with Paul, even before his mysterious disappearance today.
Paul has always had a bad temper, making it clear to the entire school-maybe even going as far as letting everyone in La Push and Forks, together, know how much of a bad temper he had. There has always been a couple times when someone had done something to accidentally annoy Paul, and he got extremely angry. But recently, Paul's temper has gotten a lot worse (if it was even possible), and he would start shaking. One time, I actually saw Paul shaking and I was pretty sure that I had heard him growl at someone in the lunch line, something about cutting in front of him in line.
"I'm okay, Kim. Really." Jared assured. "You don't have to keep looking at me like that. I'm not the Hulk."
I laughed. "Since when did he become a part of the conversation?"
"He became a part of the conversation because he's just so awesome. You don't like Marvel superheroes?" I glanced at her quickly, before looking back at the road.
"No, no. I love Marvel. It was just a bit of a topic change, that's all." I shrugged. "But that's pretty confusing, Jared. First you said that you aren't the Hulk, and then you said that he was awesome. Are you a fan or not?"
"Oh, good." He sighed in relief. "For a moment I actually thought you hated Marvel. I thought I had ruined the conversation when I had brought up the subject. And as for Hulk, he's awesome. Who doesn't like a superhero that turns into a giant and smashes things? I just don't think I'm awesome enough to be green."
"Hmm…," I pretended to observe him, shaking my head. "I can't disagree with you, Jared. Doesn't seem like you could pull off being giant, green, and awesome like Hulk." I shrugged.
"Aw, Kim. You're mean." He frowned, playfully. "I don't know about being green and giant, but I know I'm awesome."
"Whatever you want to believe, Jared." I shrugged.
Great job, Kim. You just go ahead and insult him.
All too soon, Jared had pulled up in front of my house. For some unexplainable reason, I felt sad that the car ride was over. It was amazing how a moment ago, I was incredibly happy because of Jared, and just like that, I was all sad.
I got out the door and closed the car door.
"Do you want to come inside?" I asked Jared, hesitantly, through the window.
"No. It's fine." He shook his head. "I actually have to go meet up with someone. Maybe another time?" He smiled.
Come on, Kim. You know better than that. Of course he doesn't want to spend anymore time with you. He already has plans. Oh great, you probably made him delay his plans to just bring you home. Great job, Kim. He's probably super annoyed right now, regretting his decision to drive you home.
"Oh. Okay." Even though I was disappointed, I still managed to give a small smile. We both said "bye" to each other, and I continued to stand on the sidewalk, waving bye to him until the car was finally out of my view.
