The Kim Austin Series

Chapter 4

P.O.V/ Kim Austin:

It's Friday, September 3, 1982; Brad is still missing. That's what everyone else thinks. Because Kelly and I left out part of the story, the most important part He's dead... I watched Kelly snap his neck like a popsicle stick, and his body just went limp as she let him fall to the ground, lifeless. A few seconds later, his body burst into flames and disappeared into thin air as if he never even existed. I do feel bad that he died, but at the same time, I don't... Because he was evil and tried to kill me so, he got what he deserved, as Kelly puts it. I know what you're thinking. Kelly is no angel, either. She had beaten me up a few hours before I went out with Brad. But she apologized and promised it wouldn't happen again. I know she loves me, but sometimes I can't help but think if you love someone, why put your hands on them?? Because if you truly loved someone, you would never do anything to hurt them, especially using physical violence to make a point across or cause you to be angry with them. She hasn't beaten me up like that since then, but I guess I should learn to watch what I say to avoid that situation again or a slap in the face. Thank god for makeup. If I didn't have it, then I'd have some explaining to do. I'm walking to school today; I'm about an hour early. It's 7:00 am, and the school's front doors don't open until about 7:30 am, but you don't have to be in homeroom until 8:25 am. Past that, it's considered a tardy. Walking down the sidewalk by the football field, I can hear the traffic passing by me. I hear a car slow down beside me, and my anxiety rises. I look out the corner of my eye and see a black car driving beside me slowly. I look over and see Kelly in her Pontiac Firebird. I sigh in relief She smiles at me and said " What's the matter?? thought I was a perv or something??" I smirked and said, " Maybe." She smiled and said, " Come on, let's ditch school." I said, " Not happening; my mom would kill me." Kelly stopped the car as I stood on the sidewalk. She said, " Well, let's go up to Sharp's Ridge for a few.. We'll be at school before the bell rings". I said, " I don't know Kelly". She said, " Please?" Turning on that charm of hers. I said, " Okay, fine.. if we are late, it's your fault". I walk off the sidewalk and around the front of the car up to the passenger side. I open the door and enter, setting my backpack on the floorboard between my feet. She puts the car in drive, going past the school on Woodland Avenue and down North Broadway, leading all the way down to Ludlow Avenue. Because North Broadway is a very long road, it's considered the main street here. She follows Ludlow Avenue up to Sharp's Ridge, a memorial park dedicated to Knox County's Veterans in 1953. They say it's named after the Sharpe Family, who once lived on the ridge in the 19th century. She drives up to the overlook, the highest point in the city; she parks her car in a parking spot directly in front of a chain link fence with a sidewalk built beside it. I'm looking at the view from the passenger seat of the car. Two power lines lead from a metal tower down over the overlook. I hear Kelly rummaging around in the storage compartment between us on the seat. I see her picking up what looks like a joint wrapped in a thin, rolling paper. She has a black lighter in her hand. I said, " What are you doing?" She said, " What does it look like I'm doing? I'm gonna smoke this doobie". I said, " Aren't you afraid of getting caught or something?" Kelly struck the lighter and lit up the end of the joint as it burned bright orange. She puffs on it, and heavy white smoke fills the car. It smells like dirt, and I cough and start rolling the window down on my side using the handle crank. Kelly snickered at me and then said, " You're such a puss." I said, " I'm not." Kelly took a hit and said, " Prove it, then take a hit". I move her hand, pushing the joint back to her, and she smiles. She said, " See no backbone." I took the joint from her and said, " You're such an ass, Kelly." She smiled wickedly as I took one easy hit off it. I instantly fill my lungs with smoke. I blow it out and start coughing loudly as Kelly giggles. I hand it back without looking at her as I catch my breath. Damn, that kinda hurt. I look back at Kelly, and she's putting it in the ashtray. She said, " You're gonna feel that here in a few minutes". I said, " I never pegged you for a stoner." Kelly's ocean-blue eyes were red and glassy from smoking. As she picked up a bottle of Visine, she said, " There's a lot you don't know about me, Kim". She tilts her head back, applying the eye drops in her eyes. She looks at me, and the redness in her eyes slowly disappears. I said, " Like what?" She gave me a look, then handed me the bottle of Visine, and I put the drops in my eyes. I'm starting to feel the effects of the pot; I feel very relaxed as if I'm floating. Kelly looked at me and said, " You're high now". She smiles at me, and I start giggling... Oh no, here starts the giggles... I said, " How the hell do you smoke this stuff?" Kelly said, " I've been doing it since I was fourteen. The more you smoke, the more tolerance you build up." I'm starting to feel insanely turned on it all of a sudden. Kelly puts her hand on my knee, and I look at her. I turned to her and put my hand on her face, getting lost in her ocean gaze. I said as I admired her beauty, " God.. you are so fucking beautiful"... She smiled and then said, " You're just saying that because you're high." I said, " I'd say it if I wasn't.. You're gorgeous.. don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not".. Our lips are inches away I said by her ear quietly " I want to bend you over that backseat so bad right now and wear you out"...
