Just Average

(Kinda how I imagined Naomi) ^^

Naomi's POV

I never liked Kat. Maybe it was because she took Jason away, or it was simply because I knew that she was hiding something. No one is that perfect. She's fake, but Jason just can't see that.

I remember the first time he ever laid eyes on her. It was like he was in front of an angel. She sure looked like one.

While I'm bony and sharp-faced, Katerina is lithe, delicate, and perfectly proportioned to the extent where it seems almost unnatural.

It wasn't only that. She was completely perfect on the inside too. Sweet, innocent, bursting with life and enthusiasm.

Little Miss Fucking Perfect.

I'm just average. I'm average in looks, average in hunting. Average in singing and sports. For the longest time I've only had eyes for Jason. We were close before she came, really close.

We even kissed once. It was a small peck and it probably didn't mean anything to him, but it meant the world to me. If Katerina didn't come into our lives, I have no doubt he would've fallen in love with me.

But compared to her, I'm dirt. My dull brown hair compared to her vibrant, golden hair. My thin lips and small green eyes compared to her beautiful full ones and gigantic, soulful amber eyes, lined by dark, long eyelashes. There was no competition.

Well, until now. She's gone. Jason will forget about her eventually, right? In the meantime, I'm the closest friend he's got.

It takes a few hours to get to the end of the forest. I've actually never ventured this far, not seeing a reason to. The mountains stretch ahead.

"We don't even know where they are. What if they moved in the past thirty years?" I murmur.

"They're the only chance we've got," Jason replies. "We'll take a break here. We start moving again in an hour."

Everyone let's out a sigh of relief. Leaving what they've ever known is a big step, and maybe staring at what is ahead for an hour will prepare them a little.

But I'm not staring at the scary, sharp peaks ahead dipped in snow. I'm staring at Jason, who seems more unreachable than our journey.
