JASMINE
The school fair was Katie's idea. Or was it George's, I wasn't really paying attention during the meeting. Either way I was here now, funnel cake in one hand, Erika beside me complaining about the heat, wondering how I was outdoors again.
It was the kind of afternoon that felt too loud for no reason. Music from the DJ booth bleeding into the chatter of people who actually wanted to be here, the smell of grilled food mixing with someone's overwhelming perfume.
Normal. Forgettable. Fine.
For an event I helped decorate I'm not happy to be here but Katie Would give me s**t if I wasn't either.
I spotted Katie at the punch table, the punch I was a ninty nine percent sure was spiked but that wasn't what kept my attention, it was this dark haired guy who was speaking with her and she was..... blushing?
In all my years, never had I expect to see my strict council vice president blush, what in the bananas
He looked handsome I guess, dressed in a brown t-shirt and khaki pants or at least I think it is that was what a khaki looks like
So little Katie had a type, nice information
“ Jas I need to pee"
I make a face at her
“ sometimes I wonder why you function like a bowl human"
“ whatever babe, not everyone holds pee because they're too busy"
“ He had just called her mine "
Erika laughed as she enters the stall while I reapply lipgloss and fix my hair
I think I should dye it red or maybe blue at the tips
or maybe I should become a blonde
nah I don't like blonde
maybe I should be a firey red badass
“ still thinking of dying thy hair?" Erika asked as she stepped out of the stall to wash her hands while I had zoned out about my hair color and not hear her come out
“Tsk tsk just wondering that's all"
“ your mom will have a heart attack if you ruin your glorious brown hair"
“ or I should just grow it out?"
she looked at me for a while
“ so you'll complain how irritating it is to have something on you or how you accidentally ate it with your food?"
okay, ouch
“ point taken, no growing this s**t, I already look great with short hair"
“ you'll look good in either ways, but you won't listen"
we continued bickering as we walked to the little chocolate treats I made sure Katie added in the refreshments list.
the world needed more chocolate since it can't be a better place you know
so why not start small before I go all big and conquer the world....... for chocolate
too bad Erika is allergic to chocolate
she won't be eating my wedding cake or I could half and half
“ how do you even eat that stuff"
“ like this"
I took a large bite into the fudge cake I picked up
“ now you're just mocking me"
She scowled at me before pausing at something... or someone behind me
“ Jas.. Jas isn't that crocky" she shook my arm
I turned to see our little inside joke from camp
little 'ol crocky
I bursted out laughing, not minding the looks from people around me
so hard I wasn't breathing properly almost sending myself to an early grave when I chocked slightly
imagine dying because I was laughing at someone
Dear father in heaven ain't goin' be happy
He turned to us and his face fell and they made me laughed harder, tears streaming down my face like waterfalls
Erika wipes my eyes while I do hers but we were still laughing attracting attention to ourselves including Crocky's friend
He turned to face our direction since we were snorting like pigs in a pen, his eyes met mine directly and it was.... that guy from before?
huh?
I expected indifference, a cocky smile or some type of flirty nonsense crocky had going on back at camp, instead he just looked at me, really looked, the kind of look that made you suddenly aware of your own face.
or Maybe there is something on my face, who knows
Him I guess
I tilted my head and held his gaze
I can see why Katie is so smitten by him earlier
"Jas?" Erika tugged my arm to get my attention and I looked away first
what was that about?
