Emptiness

Chapter 11

Kim's POV

"So are you saying you and Tim are dating" Dee said for the hundredth time.

The whole way to school I had been explaining that we are not official, yet.

"No that's not what I'm saying" I said.

"OMG I can't believe you have a boyfriend finally your first boyfriend" she said.

"Dee are you ok?" I asked cause something was wrong with this girl.

"Yes I'm ok" she said pretending to cry  "I just feel like a proud mother, they grow up so fast"

"Really Dee?"

"Don't give me that attitude young lady" she said. She had officially gone crazy everyone.

"And don't think you are safe from the sex talk either, first thing you need to know condom good no condom bad, ok. Cover it before use".

I was about to laugh at her when something else caught my attention. I know this school is crazy but today it was on another level. Everyone was at the Quad slash school hall. Which never happens since a lot of people bunk the morning assembly. I have to confess, I only ever attended once since the assembly consisted of singing gospel songs, praying and more gospel songs. No one was down for singing and praying, if we wanted that we would to church.

"Let's go check it out" Dee said. I did not even have a chance to reply before being pulled away to our sorry excuse of a school hall.

Dee entered and I followed. The chairs were pushed to the sides so were the children, everyone was standing on the sides. And in the middle of the quad were speakers or are they called music system I don't know. Everyone looked confused on what was happening, it would have been funny if I wasn't as confused myself.

"Dee, Kim you are here" shouted Chloe standing right next to us and besides her was Nat and Chantel of course.

"Did you have to shout Chloe you are right next to us" I said annoyed.

"Whatever, I can't wait for the big announcement though" Chloe said.

"What announcement?" I asked and they all shrugged.

"Look" Dee said.

We all looked looked at the quad and there was Tim in all his handsome glory walking to the middle. As if looking for someone in the crowd I might add. He stopped in the middle and picked up a mic. His action commanded attention and there was silence.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I Timothy Storm have a question to ask a special someone among all of you"

He's not going to do what I think right.

"She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen actually she's an angel or maybe more"

Oh no.

"So I'll like to say will you be my girlfriend...."

Hell no.

"Kimberly Martin"

Gasps everywhere.

Yes everyone was looking at me and those who were not near where searching for me.

And Tim well Tim was being handsome and I mean he was also looking at me. With a smile. On his handsome face. Woah when did l become so....uh I can't find the word. In love? Definitely, maybe.

"Kim, Kim, Kim!" Dee shouted. Leave it to Dee to start the chanting. Reminder to self: slap Dee in the face.

Soon after everyone joined in chanting my name. And Tim held out his hand signaling me to come to him.

What do I do? Do I run.

I moved at a slugs pace and finally reached Tim in the middle.

"You know when I said do something crazy I meant crazy not cliche romance" I said.

"What's more crazy than romance?"

"Maybe coming to school in your underwear" I suggested.

"Why didn't I think of that" he said and I chuckled. Important information I never giggle.

"So will you be my girlfriend" he asked taking my hand and pulling me closer to him.

"I am a girl of my word, so yes I will be your..."

Nice, soft and plump lips were on mine. I can't describe the feeling but it felt like I had died and gone to heaven. Hallelujah.

Our lips were moving in sync like they were made for each other. I don't know how long we were kissing but it felt like we no longer needed oxygen just... just each other.

But the rules of living imply that Tim is no oxygen, so sadly we had to pull away.

We were looking at each other eye to eye, I have never realized how beautiful his eyes are, they are simply hypnotic.

Right there in the middle of everything, in the middle of clapping and cheering children. I felt full as in the opposite of empty. Emptiness no more.

"Come on let's get out of here" he said with the most beautiful smile.

When we were finally out side. Emphasis on finally. Tim started doing the weirdest thing I've ever seen, it was like he was having a seizure or his body was giving up on him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm dancing"

"You call that dancing" I said laughing.

"Are you laughing at me" he said coming closer to and I ran towards the burnt classrooms as if my life depended on it.

I am a very good runner but turns out Tim my boyfriend (yes I just said that) is better.

He caught up with me when I was right in front of a burnt classroom, he held me in his warm embrace and led me inside.

"I can't believe I have a girlfriend"

"I can't believe I had my first kiss" I said and he grinned.

"That was your first kiss" he laughed.

"Now look who is laughing at the other" I scoffed.

"I'm sorry besides you're a natural kid" he said.

My reply was cut off by the bell for the first class.

"Let's go" I said.

"No, let's just bunk school" he pouted. Really?

"Please" he added.

Never thought I will live to see the day.

"So far you are being the kind of boyfriend parents warn their children about"

"It's just for today me angel"

"If I'm an angel, what are you? The devil"

"Haha funny"

"I know" I said.

"Come on, school's boring anyway"he said.

"Okay let's go" I said and in return I was granted a smile.

My plan of being a good student this year was failing miserably. A teacher already hated my guts (I'm talking about you Mr R) and here I was bunking school.

But I wouldn't do it with anyone else but my boyfriend.
