The Indeterminate Mate

Chapter One: Kaia's Crush

Present day, July 30 2015

"Kaia! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" Kaia snapped out of her thoughts, looking at her best friend, Kimberly, or Kimmy, as she often called her. "I'm sorry, I'm just a bit distracted", I mumbled. We had just come home from school, and looking at our homework together in Kimmy's room. We were seniors at Glenfield College, the best school in our area, and our teachers and principal expected nothing but the best from us. We were the definition of nerds though, so we never really had much of a problem in school. 

"Kadon again? Geez, what is it with you and this guy? You've known him forever, and he's never shown the slightest intent in you romantically. There's so many guys around, why can't you just pick one of them to date? You're 18 already and haven't had a single boyfriend!", Kimmy grumbled. "As if anyone would want to date me anyway", I rolled my eyes at her.

"Okay. That's enough. Bring your fatass over here!", she pulled me towards her full length mirror in her room. "Look at yourself. Properly. You're beautiful! I don't know why you put yourself down so much. You've got a tiny, gorgeous face and such great features. Not to mention a great body. Look at me! All I've got is rolls of tummy fat and huge boobs!" 

I stepped forward and looked at myself in the mirror, taking a good look. Blue and lilac glasses framed my big brown eyes, with a celestial shaped nose. My lips were full, big, something I was relentlessly teased about years ago at prep school. Now big lips were apparently "in". I snorted at my inward thoughts. Caramel skin, wavy black hair that reached just past my shoulders, tall figure, yeah I was pretty decent to look at... Except for my wide hips and huge ass. I'd tried just about everything I could to lose weight in that area, but genetics seemed to persist. I knew the Kim K look was now coveted, but it just brought me so much of unwanted attention, I was definitely the more introverted type. I turned my gaze towards Kimmy. I don't know what she complains about, honestly. She is of a slightly bigger built than I, but with just a slight tummy. As mentioned she has big breasts, which I was silently jealous about. I looked down at my B cup breasts. Not too small but definitely not big. Kimmy is certainly a looker, with her smaller brown eyes, curly black hair, aquiline nose and smaller, but still relatively plump lips. In terms of body shape, we were definitely different, me being a pear shape and Kimmy being an apple. But we were best friends since we met in our freshman year. 

"It's not only about looks Kimmy. I'm the boring, introverted nerd. While you're the outgoing fun nerd! I'm too boring half the time, and most guys bore me!", I replied, snapping out of my inner thoughts. 

"Yeah right. Says the girl with so many guys running after her, she doesn't even know how to keep count! What is it with Kadon anyway? You've been in love with him since you were how old? 9? And he's shown how much interest in you? You hardly see the guy anymore. I think it's just puppy love. You need to get out and start dating other people Kaia. You're losing out on prime time! He's 25. Guys his age are too busy f*****g around."

"Well, he may not have been interested because I was a literal child when we met. And it's since I was 8! It's been 10 years and I know I only see him once a year, but I'm seeing him at a gathering next week. I'll just assess the situation and see if he's interested in me in any other way. If not, then well, I guess I'll have to move on. I just need to know if he still sees me as that 8 year old child, or if he sees me as a potential girlfriend."
