Jc's pov
"Jill hurry up we're gonna be late! " I scream running down the stairs to grab my backpack which my idiot brother has dangling over my head.
"Jake cmon stop fucking around give me my bag" I say jumping up to grab it. I'm not that short coming in at 5'4 but my dumbass brother decided he wanted to tower over me a good 6 inches.
"Shut up you just wanna see your girlfriend" he teases. Okay I also may have a raging crush on Jill's friend Kirby but she's always messing around playing hard to get.
"She's not her girlfriend" Jill says coming downstairs to grab an apple from the fruit bowl. And my sister absolutely hated the idea of me being with her best friend.
"Yeah but she will be." I retort kissing her forehead before snatching the apple from her taking a bite before she can grab it back. I run out of the house towards Kirby's car before Jill literally kills me, knowing she still has to grab her lunch I know I'm safe.
"Hey pretty girl" I say to Kirby once I hop into the backseat ultimately she rolls her eyes through the rearview mirror ignoring my flirting.
"What's up cheet" the beautiful blonde tells me turning around to face me with those beautiful eyes of hers. Jake and I are the stars of schools Track team, but we've been running since we were babies, Kirby's called me cheetah ever since, she's just shortened it to cheet once we got a bit older but I still hear the occasional "cheetah" here and there.
I miss my opportunity to say anything considering im fucking speechless with the way she's looking at me until she snaps her head toward the passenger seat as Jill comes out the door Jake trailing behind her.
"Hey before you get in the car you've gotta promise not to kill me" Kirby tells my sister taking her attention away from me as her and Jake are walking down the stairs.
"Why? what did you do?" Jill asks getting into the front, Jake making me move to the middle as he gets in behind Kirby.
"Trevor called me last night"
"Aww" I chime in making Jill turn around giving me the ultimate death glare. "Why is he calling you" she asks looking back to her friend.
"Because you won't take his calls. He knows I have your ear and he wants to know." Kirby tells my her.
"Know what" Jill says. Okay this back and forth shit is making me dizzy.
"How upset you are" Kirby tells her as Olivia walks up to get in the car behind Jill. She lives right next door so it all kinda works out for Kirby cause she doesn't have to drive to three different locations just got pick us all up, even though all of us drive it's just better for the commute.
"Okay can we not talk about this please" Jill asks making me wonder why she doesn't want liv to hear.
"So Trevor called me last night" she says settling in giving me our signature fist bump. Welp there goes that, liv already knows.
"He called you too?" Jill questions looking back at liv.
"He's worried your cousin coming to woodsboro's distracting you from knowing how sorry he is." She say with a pout making my sister roll her eyes.
"Well that's inventive" she says sarcastically sending Kirby a smile.
"Well what are you waiting for? let's get going!" I say reaching up to put the car in drive only to fail when I realize the keys aren't in the ignition.
Kirby holds them up to my face making me blush and sink back down into my seat.
"So have you guys seen the grim reaper, angle of death?" Liv says looking to me and Jake ultimately making the both us look at each other.
"What are you talking about" Jill asks
"Your cousin" Kirby answers like we were supposed to know she was talking about Sydney.
I sink into my seat a bit unsure of how Jill would answer this. Sydney and I were always super close Jake and Jill not so much. I don't know Sydney always understood me in ways no one else did. She was the first person I came out to and she's never been ashamed of me.
"She's the reason I love horror movies" Kirby smiles making me smile softly to myself remembering all the times she used to make me watch them with her even though I wasn't much of a fan, being with her always made them less scary.
"I'm sure she'd love to hear that. If I knew her, she usually just hangs out with Jc when we see her" Jill answers truthfully.
"Well wherever she went people died. Other people. It was never her." Liv says making me slap her arm. "Careful with your words liv" I warn.
"Damn Jc that was kinda hot" Kirby says looking in the rearview again.
"Oh my god you think I'm hot" I say running my hand down her arm, I guess that was too much because she quickly snatched her arm away from me but not before I missed the faint blush on her cheek.
"I think how you said that was hot not you- shut up" she interrupts as I open my mouth to cut her off.
Out of no where Jill's phone starts ringing, which is usually the case when your phone rings; and she picks it up, asking who it was, making us go quiet. She puts it on speaker so we can all hear.
"I said who is this?" She asks again.
"I asked you a question. What's your favorite scary movie?" The voice behind the phone says giving me chills all down my body. I lean into Jake who runs his hand up and down my arm in another to calm me.
Liv motions to hang up and Jill does exactly that when she looks over to see the terrified look on my face.
"That was original. I got a call like that this morning from Marnie the carny." Liv says making Kirby turn around to look at her.
"What?" She questions running a stop sign almost ramming into a truck passing by.
"Watch out" I scream making her slam on the brakes inches away from running into the truck.
She turns around to ask if everyones okay then we continue on our way to school safely this time changing the subject to something that wouldn't distract Kirby seeing as she barely knows the rules of the road.
When we get to school I push Jake out the way so I can open the door for my Kirby as I usually do.
"My lady" I say grabbing her hand to help her out.
"You're such a sweetheart"she smiles keeping hold on my hand interlocking our fingers.
I look back to Jake who just gives me a thumbs up walking off to meet up with his friends, this is the first time she didn't let go.
"Ohh this is hall pass with Robbie Mercer, here with the luscious Olivia "don't look at my tits, I have a mind" morris. Here is my woodsboro massacre anniversary question: what is your favorite scary movie?"
"Is that all you got? Some stupid douche question?" Liv remarks as Kirby's secret admirer Charlie walker walks up to us.
Okay now I get it, hey if that's the only reason she'll hold my hand then this guy needs to come around more often.
I wrap my arm around her waist pulling her closer to me throwing a sly smirk in Charlie's direction. If looks could kill I'd be 6 feet under...
"You're a genre nut Kirby. What's your favorite scary movie?" Robbie continues his pestering.
"Bambi... dork" Kirby responds brushing past them as we all walk off into the school building. "What?" She says as we walk past the two guys as Charlie eyes her.
"That's.. funny, Kirby" Charlie says hoping she'd respond, I just wrap my arm around her shoulder walking her up the stairs.
"He likes you... and I don't like it" I say pulling her away from the other girls.
"Awww you know my heart belongs to you" she says placing her hand on my cheek.
"Then let me take you out on a date" I say looking into her eyes. " I know I joke around a lot but I really do like you Kirby" I don't know what's gotten into me but seeing Charlie look at Kirby like that didn't sit right with me.
"I don't know Jc" she says looking away from my pleading gaze.
"You won't know until you try, is it because I'm younger?" I question trying to understand this complicated woman.
Jake and I are a year and half younger than the rest of everyone but we are in our junior year, Jake being the genius he is, after our seventh year we had our graduation with the eighth years and they just skipped us to our freshman year
"What? No Jc I don't care about that. I'll tell you what, by the end of this week I'll let you know. How does that sound?" she say caressing my arm.
"Perfect" I say showing her my million dollar smile in hopes to persuade her a bit. She just smiles leaning in to give me a kiss on the cheek.
I walk off to my classes extremely excited might I add, already planning the date as if she's already said yes.
