Author's Chapter Notes:
Sorry about the wait, I've been away all weekend. This is a short one but I'm gonna be working on it more.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! <3
I do not own anything office related. Not Jim or Pam or Dwight or even paper for that matter.
Chapter 2
“Jim! Here!” Pam extended a skinny, sweater covered arm over the throngs of high school students and waved to Jim who had entered the lunch room looking hopelessly lost. Jim flashed her a smile and walked towards her. Before he could get to her someone jumped up in his path, all smiles and red hair.
“Hiya! Are you like new here?” The girl smiled broadly at him as he nodded. “Well I’m Katy and I think you should come sit with me.” She grabbed his forearm and dragged him towards a table, away from Pam. He threw Pam a confused look.
“Actually, I’m meeting someone for lunch.” He regained his strength and stopped her dragging him. She turned to him, still smiling.
“Okay, that’s cool I guess, here’s my number!” She pulled a pink pen off her tray and scribbled her phone number roughly on Jim’s arm, scratching the skin. “Call me,” she winked and threw herself into a chair and a conversation. Jim shook it off and resumed his way towards Pam.
“Wow, Hot-Stuff Halpert. You’re not even in the school 3 hours and you have the head cheerleader’s number.” Pam giggled as she noticed the pink pen on his arm. He laughed with her. He wished it were her number.
“What can I say? When you got it, flaunt it!” He shrugged and bit into his sandwich. Pam laughed again. Her laugh was like a beautiful symphony to his ears. Before he could say something else to make her laugh she was yelling across the crowd.
“Roy! Roy!” She waved towards a group of guys standing with the cheerleaders. One forced a smile and made his way over.
“Hey babe,” Roy squeezed her shoulder. Jim froze. Babe?
“Roy, this is Jim Halpert, he’s new. Jim, this is Roy, my boyfriend.” Pam looked between the two boys as they shook hands.
“Halpert, welcome to Scranton. I’m gonna skip last period to go out with the guys, can you find a way home?” Roy made a feeble attempt at puppy dog eyes.
“I don’t mind driving you,” Jim offered.
“Great, see you Pammy!” Roy was half-way across the hall before Pam could say anything.
“You don’t mind taking me home?” Pam sighed to Jim. He shook his head.
“Don’t worry about it,” he smiled to himself. Roy seemed like a jerk and if he could win Pam’s affection, he didn’t mind driving her to California. But something was biting in the back of his mind. How had he not guessed that a beautiful, funny, smart girl like Pam would had a boyfriend? He should have known it was too good to be true.
“Alright Halpert, I’ll meet you outside after school, and thanks again.” She stood and left to go to class. Jim watched her go. There was something poetic about the way she shuffled along, alone, invisible to almost everyone else. They had no idea what they were missing.
