16 year old Jennifer (Jenna or jj) moves in with her aunt Kate, in England, when her mom died. She hasn't spoken sience the death. (1 month). At her new school she meets the one and only Asa Butterfield. He happens to live next door and his parents...
I can't believe I talked... I can't believe it! Well it just happened. I didn't even think before it came out. Maybe this is myself telling me it's time.
I look over to see Asa still sleeping peacefully. I just got up. 8:30am. O...M...G... I'm late, I'm dead, I'm late, I'm dead. Wait there is a note on my clock.
Dear Jenna, We need to actually see each other one of these days. Any way I got an e-mail that you don't have school because of a sudden teacher in service day. If you and Asa would like to go do anything you may. Love you sweetie!
~Kate
Ok then no school. On my third day there is no school. Great.
Within a few seconds Asa awakens rolls over and sees my clock also. Fear flashes across his face.
"Teacher service day!" O my Goness I talked again! No no no no! Now fear is in my veins. I quickly clasp my mouth and fall to my knees.
How could I do that. It just came out. It happens to do that when I'm around Asa. What is wrong with me?
I awakened again by Asa rubbing my back. "It's ok. If it makes you feel better I feel special that your talking to me." I just kinda smile. "You can talk to me you know.... I won't tell," I nod
"So... What do you want to do today?" He asks. I shrug. " what if I give you a tour? You've been here a while now and haven't really been places." I nod yet again.
I get ready, after he exits the room of course, eat cereal, and we are off. I see the local shops, great restaurants, and everything in between.
After a while we come across a tattoo and piercing shop. Oooo. I've always been interested in piercings and tattoos. I only have my first and second holes. I really want like my cartilage or nose done. I don't know.
I was so entranced I didn't even realize I was gaping at the shop. Then Asa said, " looking to get something pierced?" I make a I guess kind of face. "We can go get something if you want" I turn towards him and raise an eyebrow because he knows I'm under ages so I couldn't go without my legal gradian.
" we could say I'm you older brother and I'm your legal guardian. So I could shin the papers and you could get it," I furrow my brows. It makes sense but u didn't know he was so risky. However I'm intrigued. " would you aunt mind?" I don't know so I text her
Me=me Kate=kate
Hey
Hey girly
Would you mind if I got something pierced?
Well it depends on what it is.
Like my nose or something on my ears
Great but who will sign the papers. Cuz u aren't 18 yet.
Well Asa was saying we could say he is my older brother and legal guardian. If you're ok with that.
Ok...... But don't get caught. Otherwise you're grounded for a couple hours. Then I'll take you later.
Thx luv ya
You too dear have fun!
I really have the coolest guardian ever.
We walk into the shops nod up to the counter where. Big, man with huge gauges and not an inch of skin without a tattoo. " what can I get for you today?"
" a piercing" Asa sounds sooooo excited.
" what kind?"
Asa looks at me. I point to my nose and cartilage. And he tells the man behind the counter.
....................
After a good 20 min of waiting. Signing papers, and Asa colorfully describing his amazing guardian, older brotherness, finally I can get it done.
We walk into one of the back rooms, I sit in the big chair thing, and Asa pulls up a stool next to me. Another round of waiting begins.
Finally incomes the staber. It's actually a woman who walks in. Her and Asa socialize for a few min then it's down to business.
I decided to start with the nose because that will probably hurt more. She marks it's hands me a mirror. I turn so Asa can see it because he is on my right when my left is being pierced.
We both approve. The she pulls out the big guns. She puts the wierd tube thing up my nose and positions her hand.
She asks if I'm ready. I grip Asas hand and close my eyes. Within the next few breaths I feel a sharp pain on/in my nose so I grip Asa's hand tighter. He doesn't seem to mind because he is still rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb.
Moments later it's done. And damn do I look cute, and bad ass at the same time. The cartilage was a breez. Didn't even feel it.
I pay, and we start wondering the streets again. Today has been a pretty good day so far.
