It was too bright for me to drive into town when I got to Port Angeles; the sun was still too high overhead, and, though my windows in my Corvette were tinted dark, there was no reason to take unnecessary risks. More unnecessary risks, I should say.
I was certain I would be able to find Jessica's thoughts from a distance. Jessica's thoughts were louder than Angela's, but once I found the first, I'd be able to hear the second. Then, when the shadows lengthened, I could get closer. For now, I pulled off the road onto an overgrown driveway just outside the town that appeared to be infrequently used.
I knew the general direction to search in. There was really only one place for dress shopping in Port Angeles. It wasn't long before I found Jessica, spinning in front of a three way mirror, and I could see Jungkook in her peripheral vision, appraising the long black dress she wore.
Jungkook still looks pissed. Ha ha. Angela was right-Tyler was full of it. I can't believe he's so upset about it, though. At least he knows he has a backup date for the prom. What if Mike doesn't have fun at the dance and doesn't ask me out again? What if he asks Jungkook to the prom? Does he think Kook's prettier than me? Does Jungkook think he's prettier than me? Why the hell am I comparing myself to a boy???? And what is going on? Now that Kook has moved here, all the cute guys are now bisexual?
"I think I like the blue one better, Jessica. It really brings out your eyes." It was lovely to hear Jungkook speak.
Jessica smiled at Kook with false warmth, while eyeing him suspiciously. Does he really think that? Or does he want me to look like a cow on Saturday?
Jessica thinks everyone is toxic like her. She projects her behavior on others. I was already tired of listening to her. I searched close by for Angela-ah, but Angela was in the process of changing dresses, and I skipped quickly out of her head to give her some privacy.
Well, there wasn't much trouble Kook could get into in a department store. I'd let them shop and then catch up with them when they were done.
It wouldn't be long until it was dark-the clouds were beginning to return, drifting in from the west. I could only catch glimpses of them through the thick trees, but I could see how they would hurry the sunset. I welcomed them, craved them more than I had ever yearned for their shadows before. Tomorrow I could sit beside Kook in school again, monopolize his attention at lunch again. I could ask him all the questions I'd been saving up...
