Jimmy never had problems making friends anywhere he found himself, they just came to him so easily. He had never found himself in a position where he has to beg people or someone to be his friends. The request always came to him. I'm high school he was a demigod and a superstar to most of the students. Captain of the basketball team as well as the best student in class, he could be well described as an all rounder. There was nothing he couldn't do and no heart he couldn't melt. Always at the forefront of everything. Tess had always admired Jim from a distance, she her dreams were bigger than her but it wouldn't hurt for her to fantasize like other girls her age.Except hers was not really a mere crush or just a fantasy, the feelings she had for him grew every passing day and at night she will find herself dreaming about Jimmy McPherson. Try as she could to kill the feeling it was hard, he had never cast a glance at her before and there were girls better looking than her that he would
The plan made sense to Tessa, and nothing excited her more than knowing that Dominic and Jimmy have never been dating, Samantha could be right,this could be a sign for her to push forward on her dreams to be Jimmy's girlfriend. Even if Dominic becomes aware of the gift she would have no right to question her. She felt this new surge of energy bursting through her and she made her inner decision to do as Samantha advised.“Fine I'll do it, so how do you suggest I go about it”.Samantha smiled gleefully, delighted that her big cousin is in for some fun in her senior year. “I have it all planned out already, remember you are not asking him to be your date on Valentine's day, you still have to maintain some dignity and respect for yourself, do all you have to do is give him a gift, nobody turns down a gift. Especially a good one for that matter. It is simple, I ask his brother what he likes, you get it for him. We find out when he would be alone or around a few people so you can approach
The laughter that erupted from the crowd that gathered to watch what was going on rang continuously in Tessa's ears, it was like she was being spun on a wheel of embarrassment. She didn't bother picking the gift up and neither did Jimmy. She didn't know when tears dropped down her eyes and she was more embarrassed to even lift her hands to wipe them off. Nobody stood up for her to shut Dominic down for her misdeeds. Samantha was not here or she would have stood up for her, she was still in class. At the back of her mind she hoped that Jimmy would shout at Dominic for her rude behavior or at least have said something to her that would put her in her place. This was it for her, the end of high school,her life would be more miserable than before.Jimmy steadily walked to Dominic who smiled like she had achieved a medal or some sort of other award, then Tessa turned and round pushing through the throng of people that were pointing at her and still laughing, she couldn't believe it. Jimmy,
Her change was gradual and it amazed not only het but everybody around her as well, most times she could not stop staring at herself in the mirror, her mother would catch her and laugh, telling her she had always been beautiful, but too sad to see it. Even Samantha was awed by her cousins transformation, and wished Tessa hadnty changed schools, but Tessa was glad she did, because at her new school she was accepted for who she was and how she looked,and not once did her friends make her feel less. It was the best decision she made. After graduating highschool, she went on to college in another country, France and enjoyed every bit of her stay there, when it was time for her internship her father advised that she should come do it at him, she would have refused but since he wants her home she didn't have any option. She had not been home for two weeks when Samantha told her about this party, which she declined at first, her major reason was that Samantha told her that most of her highs
“It's not like I'm saying it so you can have the chance to comment or judge on my relationship life, I'm just being honest the best way I can, what Dominic did to you wasn't right, but it doesn't make her bad person to me. I know she can be mean but I can't still write her off. She is still my friend”. Jimmy said, not trying to make it look like he was defending her.Tessa did not agree with him “You are mistaken there, the fact that she has never been mean to you doesn't mean she isn't a bad bad person, let's say you are not Jimmy McPherson, how do you think she would have treated you, or does she treat your other friends the way she does to you or there's some slight difference. But you are right, you definitely know her more than I do so it's your call to make if she is a bad person or not, besides I didn't come here to discuss Dominic”.“You are right, let's forget that tonight and focus on us, so what do you say about my proposal or should I call it a request?”.“I don't know wha
“That's enough Dominic, we aren't in highschool anymore, so I advise you grow up, some of the things you say are not funny anymore”. He stood up and left her where she sat, most of the guys followed him, leaving her and the girls alone.Dominic felt so embarrassed and belittled, she has always had feelings for Jimmy since highschool, and since she was the most popular girl, back then she knew when other girls liked him to and had even threatened most of them. It hurt her when she saw Tessa giving Jimmy that gift, and she quickly thought if something that will ridicule her, she didn't even know that it would have that much effect, but she was glad it did. Jimmy defended her them and is defending her now which made her all the more angry.She looked round to see if Tessa was still around, but she couldn't find her, sh got rid of her before she can get rid of her again. So she stood up and walked round leaving her friends behind. When she finally caught sight of Tessa she was intrigued b
She did it. She couldn't not believe she retaliated. It felt so good, but why is she crying? That was the confusing thing right now. She dried her eyes,but more tears still came out from it. Was she humiliated?, No She didn't feel that sense of humiliation at all, as far as she was concerned. Dominic got what she deserved and she had it coming all this while. What she could not understand was why Jimmy had to go to Dominic's side, it was clear to everyone that she got hit first and she did that as a way of defending herself. Normally she would have held her cheek or maybe cried in front of everyone before racing out, but who would have come to her aid then. She was done being that kind of girl.From what happened, Jimmy probably felt she was too violent,then she understood it, the reasons for the tears, she was hoping that at least Jimmy would support her now and she would probably hear something that she missed.the other time something similar happened years ago, but this time Domin
Since nobody was here but her, it was her responsibility to stay with him, plus she put him here so it was likely she stayed instead of anybody else. She sat on a chair, and tried her best not to sleep, but sleep proved to be more powerful than she was, and before she knew it, she was already asleep on the chair. It was about an hour before Jimmy woke up to the blinding light of the ward, it took a few minutes before his eyes adjusted to the light, and he tried to make sense of where he was at the moment. Looking at the sheets and around the room, it was clear that he was in a hospital, but why he was there was unsure to him. Then he caught sight of Tessa sitting on the chair then his mind went back to the party.He tried to remember, he was with some of his old friends as he could not stand Dominic's words anymore, then the next thing he knew was Tessa and Dominic fighting, everyone knew that Dominic would be in the wrong and would have done something to provoke Tessa, so he took it
