"OK! we'll start off with your hair.
It's nice and curly. I don't think it's right to put it
up in a hairdo or anything. Something needs to go with it.
And I have just the perfect thing."
"What is it?"
"Jeanne! we need to pierce your ears."
"WHAT?!"
"AAAAAAAHHH! OUCH!"
"Well, that wasn't so bad! right?"
"Yeah right," Jeanne said, rubbing her ears. "James,
it's even painful to touch my ears!"
"Then just leave them alone before you get an infection!"
"All right! Geez!"
"Now, we need to focus on your clothes. You can't always
have a blouse with a tight sweater squeezed over it, you
know. It looks like our school has a dress code. You should
have a tight shirt with a miniskirt. That would look good
on you."
"OK! now that we have all the clothes and jewelry,
all we need to fix are your glasses. We need contacts for
your eyes."
"How are we going to do that?"
"I know someone who can get us contacts. I knew my
eye doctor for a long time. He can help us with it."
"So you want to give her contacts for these glasses?"
"Yeah. Can you help us?" "Well! the lens
are really thick! You must be studying really hard, student,"
he
looked at Jeanne. She smiled and nodded.
"So! will you take them?"
"Yeah, I guess. I really like the design. It can be
a display. And whoever wants it, can get it. All right,
let's get you some contacts."
"That was pretty easy, right, Jeanne?"
"But it's pretty weird not pushing up some glasses
every 10 seconds."
"Haha. But your new blue eyes look marvelous."
"Wait a minuet! You got blue contacts? BLUE?!"
"Yeah. And the extra pair is just regular hazel...
the same color as your eyes."
"I want the hazel ones. I don't want to be a Caucasian."
"No. Don't you want to be matching with Eric? Eric
has blue contacts, too, you know!"
"Fine!" Jeanne pouted. But James knew inside she
was happy. He knew he was going to have to let go of her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Monday, James brought Jeanne to school. Everyone gathered
around them and agreed that James and the new beautiful
girl was a good couple. James put his arm around Jeanne
and took her to Eric.
"What up, man? Who's the chick?" Eric asked.
"You'll never know."
"So tell me!"
"You want to tell him, girl?" James asked Jeanne.
"Hi! I'm Jeanne." James and Jeanne smiled when
they heard him gasp.
"The! the nerdy! nerdy girl?"
"The same, Eric! the same."
"Can I talk to you, James?" Eric took James away
from Jeanne. "Dude, what the hell is happening here?
That's not Jeanne, right?"
"It is Jeanne! How can you live like that? How can
you live with one spontaneous idea stuck in your head? Can't
you ever think about Jeanne being beautiful and attractive?"
"Well! no."
"See? I knew this was a bad idea. But she loves you!
Can't you believe that? And I love her! so I'm letting her
go to the one jerk she loves. Peace, man," and with
that, James walked away. "Good luck, Jeanne."
He stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. He tried to
stop the tears from streaming down his face. Jeanne! if
you love him that much! I'll let you go. I hope that jackass
won't hurt you.
"So! You're Jeanne! The one I rejected?"
"Umm! Yeah."
"Well! I've thought about it, but I think I want you
to be my girlfriend."
"Your girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Jeanne couldn't believe her ears. Thank
you, James. "So! do you accept?"
"Of course I do! It's always been my dream!"
"Gosh! you have pretty weird dreams! Hey, you look
cold. Here." Eric took off his sweater and wrapped
it over Jeanne. Jeanne was so happy she was crying. Eric
wiped her tears and comforted her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After school, Jeanne called James to thank him.
"Hello?"
" James! Thank you so much! It went so well between
Eric and me!"
"That's! that's great, Jeanne."
" I owe it all to you. Let's go out for lunch or something
sometime. I'll pay." Jeanne sounded so happy.
"Jeanne, I don't think that'll be possible."
" Why not?"
"I'm leaving! to Korea."
" What about your parents? Why are you going? How are
you going? I just don't believe this!"
"My parents were dead a long time ago, Jeanne. I have
enough money to get on a plane to Korea."
" But! what about me? I thought you loved me!"
"Yes, I do. But you're in love with someone else and
I don't want to burden you. I want you to be happy with
the one you love and not be pressured by me. Tell Eric that
I congratulate him and tell him good-bye please. Bye, Jeanne."
Click!
Jeanne couldn't believe it. She was able to date because
of James. She was able to get attractive because of James.
She was always comforted because of James! And he was leaving
her out by herself in the big, hateful, hideous world. She
felt suddenly so scared. She dialed James's number again,
but he disconnected the phone. She finally knew who was
important to her now.
She quickly dressed into the clothes James had bought for
her and ran outside. She was running for dear life to James's
house. When she got there, he was right there, in front
of her.
Jeanne was so happy she cried out, "JAMES!" He
turned to face her. "James, how can you leave me like
this?" James looked at her with his soft eyes.
"I'm sorry, Jeanne. I have to leave. My cab's here.
Bye, Jeanne." James gave her a peck on the cheek and
disappeared into the taxi. She watched the taxi disappear
into the curve and watched her James gone! forever. She
started crying and crying as if her life was over. But it
was! she was now alone in the world, with no one to support
her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-15 years later-
James came back to America as a successful lawyer. He came
back to America in search for the girl he had loved 15 years
ago. Everyone in Korea had questioned him. And now that
he was back, he was able to search as much as he wanted.
But, little did he know there was a problem with that.
"Eric?" James had called Eric. They were in touch
the whole time James was in Korea.
" Hey! What's up?"
"I came back to America, dude!"
" Oh! Umm! OK!"
"I want to ask about Jeanne. Is she all right?"
" You see, James. There's something about that you
should know."
"I'm getting a bad feeling about this!"
" Well, I guess you can say she's happy and well."
"What do you mean?"
" She's with God, man. She's gone."
"Haha. Nice joke. I'm not kidding. Tell me where she
is."
"DUDE! I'M TELLING YOU! AFTER YOU TOLD HER YOU WERE
LEAVING HER, SHE STARTED GETTING DEPRESSED AND GETTING STRESSED!
IT WAS HORRIBLE, MAN! WHY THE F*CK DID YOU LEAVE? SHE WOULD
STILL BE ALIVE! BECAUSE OF YOU, SHE HAD TO SUICIDE! WHAT
THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU DUMASS JERK! I THOUGHT YOU
LOVED HER! I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT GUYS WHO FALL IN LOVE
DO TO THEIR CRUSH! SH*T! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. REMEMBER WHEN
YOU CALLED ME A JACKASS? You'd better think again.- Click!
The phone fell from James's hand. He dropped to his knees
in disbelief. He just couldn't believe it. He felt like
everything was against him. He felt so angry with himself.
He felt like ripping himself up. He wanted to follow Jeanne
up to heaven.
For days and days, James didn't eat a morsel of food. He
started getting so much stress.
-20 days later-
James was buried right next to Jeanne's grave. His tombstone
