Destination Jupiter

What the teacher was saying was a blur. How could I pay attention when Jason Sails was sitting in the desk beside me? His perfect face... His perfect hair... His perfect eyes... "Jasmine? Would you like to read chapter 3?" Ms.Lovehart said, snapping me back in to reality. "No thank you." I responded. "Then please stop staring at your little crush... Now, who wants to read chapter 3?" I could feel my cheeks burning, while everyone turned and looked at me. That's me, never been kissed, Jasmine Kolsanti. Queen of awkwardness, I probably will never even get my first kiss, or a real boyfriend. I never hace, never will. And really, I want to have a boyfriend. Preferably Jason. But how am I, supposed to get someone like Jason. "Jasmine..?" I heard Jasons voice saying. "Uh... yeah?" I said, obviously very smoothly. "You, uh, dropped this. It fell out of your binder." He said, holding up a pad. "Oh.. thanks..." I said, taking it from him. Talk about embarrasing. Finally, the bell rang. I ran out of class, horrified at the days events.

As soon as I got home, I called my best friend Luna. She was a bit crazy, and a bit of a loser, but hey, who am I one to say that? I told her all about what had happened, and all she did was laugh. "Jasmine, Oh my god. You're such a loser! No wonder you haven't had your first kiss!" She practically screamed into the phone. "Shh, someone might hear you!" I said back to her. "Hey maybe its for the best if someone hears me." She laughed. And that was the moment, I decided, I was going to have my first boyfriend, and my first kiss, that year. How? Using a very simple plan I made called Destination Jupiter. Because, if boys go to Jupiter to get more 'stupider' then I certainly don't want to be on Mars to get more 'bars' whatever that's supposed to mean. So that's when I declared, I am no longer on Mars. I am a citizen of Jupiter.

"What do you mean, Destination Jupiter?" Luna asked. "Um.. It's my plan. To get a boyfriend. And my first kiss and all that.." Luna laughed. "How excactly do you plan on doing that?" I looked down. "Well.. It's simple. I need a makeover first off... and then... um... start talking to them... and then... then they fall in love with me?" Luna nodded. "Okay, psycho. When are you getting this 'makeover'?" I thought for a second. "You know what? Now. It's the perfect time. It's Friday night... It's 5:00pm... I'll call you later. Bye!" I said and hung up. "MOM! I NEED A RIDE!!" I shouted down the hallway. "Okay.. where to sweetie?' The only reason my mom was saying yes and being so nice, is because she thinks I might make friends. And since I only have Luna, and she dosen't really like her... She really wants me to have a social life. "The mall?" I said. I never ever ask to go to the mall. Too many people. "Of course! Why? Are people going to be there? Do you just want to make friends?" If i told her I was getting a makeover, she'd never let me go. "I want to meet some new people?" I said. She instantly brightened up. "Of course!"

When I got home, I was exaushted. I had gone to 27 different stores. Some for clothes, some for body, some for hair, some for makeup, and some for books on how to be attractive to the opposite sex. I could not wait for Monday, so everyone could see the new me.

I walked into the hallway. I swear, at least 2 guys looked at me differently. 2 whole guys looked at me. That's more than I get in about a year! I was wearing a new green dress, that was skintight, fishnet leggings, really high boots. A little hookerish for school, but whatever. Luna walked up to me with a look of complete disgust on her face. "Jasmine. You look like one of them.." she said. I smiled. "thank you Luna!" "Jasmine. No. One of them as in.. One of the plastics." I smiled. "I know Luna. Thanks." she frowned. "okay. It's just me by myself then. By the way, your plan won't work. I just got myself a boyfriend and all I had to do was ask." I gasped "WHAT? WHO? it better not be Jason.." I said. "no of course not. You know Carl? On the debate team?" oh yeah. I know Carl. He's one of the nicest guys ever and he's super smart. "I'm happy for you, Luna. Really. But I want to focus on me." I said. Luna laughed. "okay. Whatever ms.prostitute." she said and walked away. Yup. That's my best friend.

When I was walking through the hallway, more and more people started looking As I continued walking, at least 9 people where watching me walk down the hall. I thought I looked good. So I did model walks and poses and little struts, until i heard someone take a picture of me from behind. "hey you creep! No pictures please. I know I'm gorgeous but.." I said. The guy started laughing. "please. Your dress is tucked into your underwear." I could feel myself turning red as I ran into the bathroom. Okay, plan A didn't work, but there's always plan B... Right?
