Too Much To Handle Alone

Kennedy's Pov
So I may have done something a little creepy and over the top. I may or may not have asked my friend, who's the Principals aid, to look into the system and find Jason's address for me.

Okay. I know it sounds creepy and stalker-ish. But I have partially a good reason. Diane wants to have the house empty for her and Dad so she can finally break the news that she's pregnant. Alyx has plans that she didn't necessarily specify. I don't know if Peter is still mad at me or not but he also said he's busy. And yeah, I could've just went to see a movie or something but hanging out on the town isn't fun alone. So, I was thinking I could hang out with Jason and get a little studying in. Maybe go out for some ice cream.

Not like a date or anything of course. I already have a boyfriend to whom I'm very loyal to. Of course.

It would've been less creepy if I had Jason's number and I could just text him. But I don't have his number. So this is plan B.

I was actually surprised to find out Jason lives in a trailer park. I mean, I didn't mean to assume but I just thought he lived in a house. I'm not hating on trailers or anything though. I've heard trailer park neighborhoods can be quite friendly.

I pulled up into the trailer park and got a little lost. I know I'm in the right...clump. But I don't know which one is Jason's. I parked and got out so I can walk. I found a little old Asian lady sitting outside and I smiled.

"Hi. Do you know Jason Hawke by any chance?" I asked. She looked at me with a glare.

"Who's asking?" She retorted.

"Uh. Kennedy Watson. We're friends and he's my chemistry tutor." I said. Then she smiled at me.

"How sweet. I always thought Jason was a nice boy under his tough exterior." She said.

"Do you know which trailer he lives in?" I asked. She nodded and pointed at the blue one across from hers.

"Right over there." She said. I smiled nicely at her again.

"Thank you." I said as walked over. I walked up the steps and knocked on the door. It took about a minute before Jason opened the door. Now there's only a screen-door between us.

"Why are you here?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I didn't have anything to do and I thought we could study a little. Maybe get some ice cream later." I said. He leaned on the door frame and his already tight black V-neck tightened around his muscular arms.

"Why didn't you go to Callahan's house?" He asked.

"He's busy. Plus, I wanted to hangout with you. We can become buddies." I said.

"Jason! Let the beautiful girl in! It's getting cold!" The old lady yelled. I turned around and she's smiling at us as she gets up to go inside.

"Okay Ms.Wong!" He yelled back. She waved and went inside. Jason sighed and unlocked the screen door.

"Come on." He said opening it. I walked inside and he closed both doors behind us. He walked to the couch and sat down.

"So you went through some illegal internet files, or how ever the fuck the school system works, to find where I live so you can study and get ice cream?" Jason asked as I sat down a whole couch cushion away from him.

"Well, when you put it that way I sound crazy." I said. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I just now noticed the scar that cuts partially through the top of his eyebrow.
