KIM CRAWFORD'S POV
We all waited eagerly for the final bell to ring so it could end this horrible day and start what was going to be an epic spring break. This day was probably the worst day I've ever lived. I've lived some pretty bad days in my time, but this day was probably in my top ten. The bell was anxiously about to ring.
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
There was a loud ring, and I immediately gathered up my stuff and darted out of class, only to be stopped by a strong hand holding my shoulder in grasp, so strongly that I actually couldn't get out of it.
I turned around, only to see a tall brunette clutching my shoulder. Jack. Of Course. "What?!" I hissed impatiently, feeling very eager to leave this deadly building.
"Calm down, alright. I just wanted to tell you that you forgot something at your desk." He answered, pointing to my desk in the middle of many others.
"Uuh, thanks." I said awkwardly and went to grab my bag and all of the papers on top of the desk. I went back over to him, than we finally started walking to our lockers.
"I can't believe the day we had. The day before spring break, we nearly broke our bones and almost got forced to," He paused at the awkward moment we had today. "You know what," He said, pressing his lips together. "Never mind" I smiled awkwardly at the moment he was about to remind me of.
We walked in silence for the rest of the way, not wanting to speak of the day we had. Jack just had to mention that time at lunch. We finally arrived at our lockers, which only had one locker separating us. I actually knew exactly who's locker it was, was the person I hated the guts of. Lilly Davis. I suddenly recalled the distant memory that made me lose all of my popularity and the guy I was crazily head over heels for, which was also the guy who was supposed to be my first boyfriend. I remembered that stupid, middle-school year, of grade eight. That stupid girl, Lilly Davis ruined my entire year and almost ruined my first year in high-school. (Which was obviously this year.)
I decided to let go of those awkward middle school years, so I just forgot about the entire memory, and came back into reality.
"Hey!" Jack suddenly burst out.
I jolted my head up, and looked at him. "What?"
"We have no homework to do this Spring Break!" He said excitedly. I immediately shut my locker and Jack shut his and went over to our impatient goof balls waiting for us.
"Hey guys" Jack said as we joined them. They had mad looks on their faces, which made Jack and I wonder. "What?" He asked in a state of confusion.
"WELL," Milton began. "You guys. Have been avoiding us. All day."
Jack looked down and ran a hand through his long-brown hair. "Oh, uh, yeah, sorry about that. Things came up."
Jerry inched closer to him. "What do you mean 'things came up'?" Jerry questioned, stroking his chin as if he was in thought.
This conversation HAS to end, I thought to myself. "C'mon guys! Lets head to Karate now! If we're late again, Rudy'll rip our heads off!" I chimed in, trying to get off the subject Why we had avoided them all day. I immediately started to walk off, with a goofy look on our faces, Jack followed me.
"Yeah guys, Let's go!" He agreed, then motioned for them to follow us. The guys put 'what just happened' looks on their faces, probably because Jack and were acting so weird, and probably because they still didn't get their answer. Jack and I walked ahead of them, with awkward looks on our faces. Maybe a minute later, we got out of our awkward stage, and started talking about how much fun we were going to have this Spring Break.
"Kim, let's make this "Best Spring Break Ever" thing, a bet. I bet you 50 bucks I'm going to make you have the most insane Spring Break ever lived by someone in Seaford."
I smiled deviously "Oh, you are so on." I confirmed, then shook on it. We started talking about all the things we were going to do this week, and all the things Jack was going to force me to do. We challenged Jerry and Eddie to find a girlfriend and keep them as girlfriends for the entire week. Jerry bragged on how he can get any girl in the matter of minutes, and Eddie said he was about to lose something, again. He accepted it anyway, and we walked into the dojo laughing our heads off.
"You guys look like you're in a good mood" Rudy commented with a slight laugh. Jack and I shared a glance, remembering our bad day together. We just shrugged it off, went and got changed for Karate.
Once we finished, we happened to all come out at the same time. I went over to the mats, and started to stretch. Jack came over and sat beside me, stretching also. "Hey" he said, as he was stretching. "Hey" Was all I could say before Rudy burst out of his office.
"Alright everyone! Let's start sparring!" Rudy announced. "Jack and Kim, you two spar, and Jerry and Milton, I want you two to spar"
"But Rudy!" Jack cut in
He faced him. "Jack. I know you don't want to hurt Kim, but, you'll just have to get over that. It makes Kim stronger and better. Plus, even though you let her win last time, she asked me if she could have a challenge." Rudy answered.
"But-"
"Jack…"
"Fine" He grumbled
He went back over to me, and I had devilish grin on my face.
"You know I don't want to do this" He said to me.
"Well, sometimes, you have to do things you don't want to do" I shot back
"Kim, it's not that, I just don't want to hurt you"
"Yeah, yeah. I can defend myself" I said confidently, but deep, deep, deep down, I was slightly scared. We started sparring, and I wasn't sure if Jack was going easy on me, so I decided to kick it up a notch. Right when I was going to do a technique, he grabbed my wrists, and put them into a locking position that was almost impossible to get out of, but then, I twisted his arms, making him be in a locking position, then he twisted my body in such a way that made us both locked into each other. Right when I thought of a way to get out of his lock, he twisted my arms, making him able to twist his body, then twisted his body making him be right at my hip, then, with force, he jumped up, and kicked the back of my knee, punched my back, then I fell to the ground.
I sat up, feeling no air coming up to my lungs. I kept trying to gasp for air, but it wasn't working. Jack was kneeling beside me, having one if his hands on my back, and constantly saying in my ear: "Kim, breathe, breathe, alright! Just breathe!" I felt no air, and it felt like air wanted to burst through my trachea, but it just wouldn't go through. Then suddenly, | felt a gust of air burst through my airway, making me able to breathe properly again.
Jack looked worried, and very hurt. "Kim? Are you okay!?" He asked me with concern and worry.
I coughed. "Uh, yeah, I'm good now" I replied
"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done that technique on you, I just, suddenly thought of it and without thinking, I just did it. I'm sorry, really"
I let out a small laugh. "Jack, jack, it's fine. You fought me well, and that's what I wanted." I said "Oh, and one more thing, could you teach me that technique you did on me?"
He chuckled. "Yeah, sure thing"
Instead of sparring, we started to practise, blocking techniques on each other, so we could have better blockage while sparring. I did a back-roundhouse kick on him, and then he did a block with his arm, that I'd never seen before. He was in a position that he could easily push back on my leg, and make me fall, because I was on one foot. I put my leg down, and we both decided to start doing kicking technique's together.
Twenty minutes through practise, a guy, in whom we didn't recognize, burst through our dojo doors, with a clip board in his hands. Next to him, was a hidden person behind a broadcasting camera, who was obviously filming this entire thing. We all stared at him in disbelief, not having a clue what a broadcaster was doing here, in our dojo.
"Hello! I'm here with Win It! TV, and I believe you two," He began, gesturing Jack and I, "Entered a contest some months ago to win a trip to China." Jack and I looked at each other, in confusion.
"Uh, we did?" Jack questioned
"Yes, the contest was, whoever could show me the best Martial arts moves, would win a trip to China for two!" He replied, with the normal loud broadcaster voice he was using "And since both of you entered the contest, it would be you two going if you guys won" He answered back, slightly less loud than before.
Jack shrugged. "Alright! How about you two show me the best Karate moves you know!" The broadcaster cheered.
"Together or separately?" Jack questioned
"How about together! You do a move on her, "He ordered, gesturing me "and if she can block it and defend herself, you two have a shot at winning"
Jack walked closer to me, and leaned his head near my ear. "I'll do an advanced move on you, that I know you can block, so It'll make you look good" He whispered into my ear. I nodded.
Jack ran towards me, and jumped up, doing a Wasabi jump Spin kick, and like he said, I easily blocked it. I looked at the broadcaster, who looked very impressed. "Very well done!" He said, with slight shock in his voice. "Alright hun,"He began ordering me "You do a martial arts move on him, and if he can defend it, you guys have an even BIGGER shot." He commanded.
I nodded at Jack, who nodded right back at me, then I ran towards him doing a side dragon kick. Of course, because he was Jack, he easily defended it, and we both glanced at the broadcaster, who looked even more impressed than before. "Wow!" He said in utter shock "That's the best I've seen all week!" He congratulated.
"Thanks!" Jack and I said in unison proudly, then shared an awkward look.
"Well, you two are outstanding Karate Partners, I must say. We will get back to you as soon as possible! Good things are looking up for you two!" He said proudly
He turned his body, so the camera could see him, and so we could see him. He turned his head towards the camera. "The remarkable," He said excitedly "Jack Brewer and Kim Crawford everybody!" He announced, showing a hand towards us. He then turned his body, facing the camera. "To the next dojo!" He yelled, raising a hand in the air. He then proudly marched out of the dojo, leaving us just watching the crazy man.
Once he was out of the dojo, we all burst out laughing. "What… was that?" Jerry commented as he was laughing so hard, he could have collapsed.
"Apparently, Jack and Kim entered a contest to go to China even though they already went there." Rudy replied grimly, which actually surprised me, because Rudy would normally be laughing the hardest right now.
Jack walked over to Rudy. "Rudy, chill, alright. We probably won't win anyway. Out of the tons of people who entered, it's very unlikely that we'll win anyway." Jack told Rudy, trying to change his mood.
Although it didn't work. "Why would you guys enter a contest to go to China, even though you guys already went?" Rudy questioned, still seeming upset.
"Rudy, we entered this contest before we went China," Jack responded.
His mood suddenly brightened up. "Oh! Okay!" He said. "Wow, you guys must've entered that contest a while ago."
Jack put his hand on his hip and ran his other hand through his long brown hair. "Yeah. We did." Jack replied in annoyance. He changed his mood, along with Rudy, and we continued all that we were doing as if nothing had happened. We continued everything, as if the broadcaster never even showed up.
-Two days later-
We entered the dojo, only to see Rudy, with a large grin on his face, the broadcaster from the other day, along with his cameraman. Jack and I shared a confused look, both of us wondering if we had actually won the trip to China.
The broadcaster smiled at us, and went in half-faced the camera, half-faced us. "Congratulations to… Jack Brewer, and Kim Crawford, the winners of the trip to China!" He announced. Jack and I shared an exited look, then went closer to the broadcaster.
"We really won!" I asked excitedly
"Yes! Yes, you certainly did! Your guys' moves were the best I saw out of the hundreds of people who entered the contest! So, that means you two get all expense paid trip to… China!" He proclaimed to the camera and everyone in the dojo. Jack and I shared another exited look, both of our faces filled with happiness, and shock. But, good shock in that case. We hugged each other, and then went over to Rudy and the others, who looked happy for us, but had a hint of jealousy on their faces.
"Good job guys, you… really earned it." Rudy told us. Jack and I distributed another look, knowing exactly what Rudy was thinking right now.
Jack put a hand on Rudy's shoulder. "Rudy, if we could take you, we could." Jack said, trying to get Rudy to understand the situation at hand.
Jack took his hand from Rudy's shoulder. "Really!" Rudy replied as if he was a happy child on Christmas morning. His mood changed from gleeful to his average almost normal personality. "Thanks, guys." Rudy said.
I suddenly realized I had no idea what was going on, when we were leaving, or any information whatsoever about this trip. I walked over to the broadcaster, casting a glance at the cameraman, who was cleaning his lens, not filming anything.
"Excuse me?" I asked shyly to the broadcaster who was digging through a briefcase of some sort.
His head jerked up. "Huh?" He blurted, not realizing I was behind him. He stood up, and turned his body towards me. "Oh, hi." He greeted.
"Um, hi. I… we" I started, then realized Jack was standing beside me. "know nothing about this trip, at all. I… we were wondering when will we exactly be leaving, what city will we be going to in China, and-" I asked
"Oh, yes. I have a package for you with all the information about the trip." He replied. "If only I could find it" He muttered to himself. He kept searching through his briefcase, then, finally, he stood up, holding a large light-beige folder in his hand.
"Here it is. All the information you need to know about the trip. Your hotel, airline, travel agency, everything" He said, handing it to Jack. Jack and I shot a quick glance at it, then looked at the broadcaster. "You'll be leaving tomorrow, at 7am, on AirChina, in first class." He told us. We both smiled, but it quickly turned to a frown, realizing that we were leaving tomorrow at 7am.
The broadcaster and his cameraman left, and we walked over to Milton, Jerry, Eddie, and Rudy. "Let's continue" Rudy told everyone. We suddenly forgot everything about everything, and continued what we did every day. Sparring, beating up training dummies, and just plain out laughing.
Once it was five o-clock, we finished Karate. We finished changing and cleaning up everything, and Jack and I realized we wouldn't see everyone for a whole week. We approached Rudy. "So, we won't see you for a whole week" Jack told Rudy.
"Yup. I hope you two have a good time. You really earned it…" He replied, with sadness and happiness in his voice.
"Thanks, Rudy" Jack said to him. We then approached Jerry, Milton, and Eddie. Jack was about to say something, but Jerry stopped him.
"So, we won't see you guys for a whole week," Jerry told Jack and I. "You know, I should be going with you, not Kim." Jerry addressed Jack.
"Well, first, Kim and I entered the contest, not you and I. Secondly, you didn't show the broadcaster anything, Kim and I did." Jack shot back to Jerry. Jerry mumbled something which sounded like "fine", then he simply just stomped off.
"Have a good time in China, guys. You earned it." Milton told us.
"Thanks, Milton." I thanked him.
"Uh, what Milton said" Eddie also told us.
Jack laughed. "Thanks, Eddie"
With that, everyone left, and Jack told me that he would just take the trip package.
I started to make my way home, the whole way thinking of this trip I just won. I can't believe I'm going to China again! I thought to myself With Jack, and ONLY Jack? My mind also told me.
I walked home the entire time thinking, A lot can happen in one week with one guy, and ONLY one guy. And Jack was that ONE guy.
A/N: So, how'd you like the first chapter? I hope it was good. So, Jack and Kim are going to China (again), and ONLY Jack and Kim? Ooohhh! Alright, so I know this story is called "The Chase", and there was no "Chasing" in this chapter, but it will begin soon. Maybe chapter 5 or 6. So, just stay with me. Alright, so, the next chapter, Kim will be going to Jack's house, then the next one will be the airplane ride. Then, in chapter 4 is when the action begins. Another thing, the kicks and the technique I mentioned, are fake and just made up. Alright, So, I really want you to review, so click that little button below, and review.
