Chapter 3
Jade was walking out of the school after the last class. Suddenly someone came crushing and bumped into her from behind. Jade stopped them both from falling to the ground by gluing her leg to the floor. Jade rolled her eyes. High school kids. The other person hastily said "Sorry," Jade turned around and saw Kit, panting.
"Oh, it's you," Kit said breathing heavily. "What's wrong?" Jade asked. "Ah, it's nothing, just my brother harassing me,"
Jade chuckled, Kit started leaving but then she remembered something and stopped "Can I get your phone number and address?" Jade's lips parted slightly, confusion clear on her face. "I will come to your place to pick you up after school?" Kit asked her expression unsure.
"Oh," Jade expressed and wrote note her address and number on a page. "KIT! Give it back to me!"
"Fuck!" Kit laughed and grabbed the paper from Jade's hand and bolted away within seconds soon followed by her brother.
Jade laid in her bed to get some sleep till she goes out with Kit so she could be fresh and energetic, her phone buzzed, she picked it up and saw a text from an unknown number.
Unknown Number : Hi it's me(3:05pm)
Unknown number : Kit (3:05pm)
Jade saved her number and clicked on her keyboard and texted back, another message appeared on her screen.
Kit : We are still hanging out after school right? (3:06pm)
Jade: Yes, if you're free
Kit: Cool, I would be there in half an hour,
Jade: sure, text me when you're here.(3:08pm)
Jade threw her phone away and jumped off. Just half an hour, how am I gonna take a shower, decide my outfit, perfume, accessories, etc in just half an hour. Jade paced around her room.
"Why are you pacing around?" Jade breathed out in relief. "Thank God, you're home!"
"I need your help, I am going out with Kit, she is going to be here in half an hour, how am I going to get dressed in half an hour?!" Jade explained her stress.
"How did you get a date with her in just a day?" Elora asked. "I will tell you all that later, for now, choose some nice clothes, and accessories for me.
"Fine but I need all the details later," Jade hopped into the shower and when she returned Elora had everything ready for her. "I truly owe you one," Jade hugged Elora.
Jade changed into black jeans and a black t-shirt that gripped her firm biceps and chest and wrapped a chain around her neck and watch on her wrist. She sprayed perfume on herself. She checked her phone and saw a text from Kit.
Kit: I am outside (3:25 pm)
It was 3:43, Jade put her phone in her pocket and rushed out, hoping kot didn't leave. "I am leaving," She said to Elora sitting in the living room."Have fun," Elora shouted after her.
Jade opened the door to see Kit sitting by the door. "Hello," Jade said awkwardly, Kit looked at her and got on her feet. Jade's eyes roamed around Kit's outfit she was wearing the same flannel shirt and cargo pants she was wearing at school.
"Ahh, you're here," Jade started feeling like an idiot for spending so long to make herself look good for kit. Jade stayed frozen as Kit walked away. "You're coming or not?" Kit titled her head.
Jade stepped out of the house and shut the doors behind her. When she turned around Kit was standing near a motorbike and putting a helmet on her head. I am so fucked. Jade though.
She goes and stands by Kit's side. "We are going on a motorbike?" Kit adjusted the straps of the helmet and said "Anything wrong with that?" Yes, being so close to you. "No, just asking,"
"Here," Kit handed a helmet to Jade and settled in her bike. Kit concealed a laugh as she kept looking at Jade struggling to put the helmet on. This made it even more difficult for Jade and before she knew Kit was laughing her ass off at her. "Loosen the straps,"
Kit took the helmet off Jade's head and loosen the straps and ratches. She raised and placed the helmet on Jade's head. She started adjusting it to Jade's size. She stopped breathing when Kit's rough hands made contact with her chin.
A shiver ran down her spine, Her heart couldn't bear this minute touch. She wasn't sure how will she maintain her cool during the ride. "All down," Kit sank back into the rider seat and bounced her eyebrows "Are you having a fever? your face is so red, we can cancel-"
Jade cursed herself and said "No!" Jade snapped. "Jeez," Kit chuckled and raised her hands in slender. "Hop in," Jade slowly settled on the passenger seat and held her thighs.
"You might need to hold me," Kit said. "No, it's...it's fine,"
"Seriously you can fall," Kit insisted. Jade slowly brought her hands to Kit's waist and she put her hands on it. "Hold me a little tighter," Jade agreed but didn't so Kit didn't say anything more and started off.
The ride was so awkward for Jade, she couldn't say the same about Kit, she seemed to fully enjoy herself. "Can I ask you a question?" Kit inquired.
"Yes,"
"An offensive one?" Kit scrunched her nose up. "Ask anyway," Jade said.
"What's your name?" Jade laughed. She knew it was supposed to be offended her but it didn't instead she found it humorous. It was Kit's turn to be embarrassed.
"Okay, I know, I know but you didn't tell me your name how was I supposed to know?" Kit defended herself.
"It's Jade, Jade Claymore," Jade replied while smiling. "Jade, pretty name," Kit compliments. "Thanks," Jade said, the awkward nervousness leaving her body.
"I can't believe, you would ask someone—whom you don't even know the name of— to hang out with you," Jade said still not getting over the fact.
"Oh come on, It's not like I asked you on a date or something," Kit groaned. "plus you're a high school kid, what could go wrong,"
"I am a High schooler but not a kid," Jade had the need to tell. "Being 18 doesn't make you an adult, you are still in high school so you're a kid, " Kit pointed and flashed a cocky smile.
"I am 22," Jade informed. Kit snapped her head back. "You're 22!" Kit said in disbelief. Jade's heart sank as colors faded from her face. "But-but you're still in high school so still a kid," Kit said determinedly.
Jade's soul was relieved. "Goodness, look at the front before you crash," Kit looked at the front and Jade questioned, "Anyways where are you taking us?"
"No idea, where do you wanna go?" Jade sighed. "Oh! How 'bout a club?"
"Are you even allowed in there?" Jade questioned. "Fake idea, baby," Kit winked. Jade smiled at the name as her stomach tingles even though she knew it wasn't meant that way.
"Let's try somewhere less risky," Jade informed. "Cool, your say—wherever you want to go,"
"Sword fighting?" Kit nodded "Sword fighting, it is, but where can we go for sword fighting?"
"I know a place," Jade smirked and pulled out her phone, and showed her the location. Kit rode them there "An abandoned building? I thought you wanted to try somewhere less risky," Kit sassed.
"This is my sister's, she doesn’t mind me being here," Kit pulled off her helmet and followed Jade inside. "Woah, this looks like some haunted house of a horror movie,"
"What? Are you scared?" Jade asked playfully. "Of course not!" Kit crossed her arms, offended. Jade went further in and Jade took out two swords from a box and passed one to Kit.
Kit picked up the sword her inexperience showing by the way she held it. Jade concluded it was a bad idea. These were real swords, She didn't want Kit to get hurt. "Maybe, we should do something else,"
"No why?" Kit frowned. "You would get hurt, you don't even know how to hold—" Kit's sad facial expression told Jade not to complete the sentence. "—you don't know sword fighting,"
"What makes you think I don't?" Kit lifted her sword to pose. "Do you?"
"No, but you can teach me," That didn't seem like a bad idea to Jade. "Fine," Jade threw her sword down to the floor and went to Kit who was still posing.
Jade smiled and took the sword from her hand. "First of all I will teach you how to hold a sword," Kit watched with full focus as Jade explained it to her. "I wanna try," Kit took the sword from Jade's hand and whooshed around playfully.
"Kit," Jade warned. "No, Jade look, how easily I can swing it," Kit swung it around and it hit her arm with force. Kit winced and gripped her arm as the sword fell from her hand. "Shit!" Jade cursed and moved to her injured arm which was bleeding uncontrollably.
Kit's sleeves were stained with blood. "I told you not to Kit, now show me," She unbutton her shirt till she could pull it to see the injury. Jade hissed at the sight. The wound was wide open. "Noooo" Kit whined. "Not on my biceps, I worked so hard on them," Jade couldn’t help but smile at the irony.
Jade was taking off her shirt so she could wrap it around the wound but Kit took off hers before. "It's already stained so," Kit said wincing and throwing her head back. Jade ripped it and tied it around Kit's arm.
She pulled out her phone and an ambulance. Kiy laid in Jade's lap with her head on her shoulder. and cried her pain till the ambulance arrived.
