"Aw man! Kim!"

Kim Possible, the beautiful young cheerleader, sighed and smiled at her best friend, Ron Stoppable. He could be so clumsy and clueless at times but his honest nature was so appealing to Kim. He always seemed to brighten her day. If only she could find a boyfriend like Ron, it would be perfect…not EXACTLY like Ron, though. Otherwise, it'd be…Ron.

"What's up, Ron?"

"I got another bad grade on my math test!"

Kim took the crumpled up paper from his hand and looked at the big, red letter grade carved in the middle of the test.

"A 'G'?"

"It's a grade lower than an 'F.' I guess it's better than what I got last time…"

"I thought you got an A minus last time?"

"No, I got a NEGATIVE 'A.' She took points off my existing grade."

"Ron…" Kim sighed. "Have you ever tried 'studying'? It'd probably double your test grades…to a D," she smirked.

"Kim, studying is for losers who have no life."

"Oh? I study!"

"Well…that's different. You were born trendy. The exception to the rule. Everyone else who studies is just wasting their time. Losers, Kim."

"Is that why you're the only one who DOESN'T study?"

"…Good point."

"It's okay, Ron. Come over to my house later today and I'll help you out."

"…Maybe you're right…alright. Whatever…"

"That's the spirit! Maybe next time you'll actually get an answer right!"

"I'm liking the sound of this already, KP!"

They both laughed and started walking to their next class until Kim put her arm out to stop Ron.

"What's wrong?"

"Josh…" Kim said dreamily.

Just a few feet ahead of them, there was Josh Mankey, possibly the most popular guy among the ladies in the entire school. Even a few seniors admitted that he was cute. Ron could tell Kim wasn't the only one who noticed him either. At least five other girls had stopped in their tracks in the hall just to take a look at him. So casual…so handsome…so annoying.

"What do girls see in him, anyway??" Ron asked, rolling his eyes.

"What do girls see? We see the most perfect guy in the entire world gracing us with his presence."

"Yeah right. I could do twice as much stuff as Josh does. The only reason he's a hit with the ladies is 'cus he plays it cool."

"Mmhm! Poseur!" Rufus chipped in.

"So not. He's a lot more than a pretty face…not to say that he doesn't have a pretty face…"

Ron folded his arms. "Tell me one thing that separates him from me."

"He treats ladies with respect and dignity."

"I do that, too!"

"Yeah but…yours is different. Your one of those guys who's easy-going and who's great to hang out with. He's one of those guys who would make a great husband…"

"Yeah. Okay. Maybe I should just start calling you Kimberly Ann Monkey, now."

"Ron!"

"Kim."

Kim swung around. "Huh??"

"How's it going, Kim?" Josh asked her, nonchalantly.

"Oh. Hi Josh!" She waved to him like a nervous boy band worshipper meeting her favorite singer. "I'm alright. How're you?"

"I'm good. Hey, I needed to talk to Ron about something."

"Ron? Why?"

"Mr. Barkin sent me to tutor him in math. If he doesn't start getting better grades on test he could end up having to repeat it next year."

"Really? Harsh…"

"I'll say!" Ron exclaimed. "I can't stand algebra as it is! How am I gonna live through it for ONE MORE year??"

"You COULD try studying…" Josh suggested.

Ron didn't respond. He had trouble dealing with Josh for the simple fact that so many girls were fawning over Josh and not him. Plus, he acted so cooly about it. Like it was no big deal. That pretty boy…

"So could you meet me in the library after school every day this week?"

"Yeah. Sure."

"Cool. I'll see ya later then," Josh started to walk away then waved at Kim. "Later Kim."

She waved back.

"Maann…I don't wanna meet with Monkey every day to STUDY…"

"Did you see the way he looked at me???"

Ron sighed. "C'mon Kim. He was just being polite. You know it's all an act…he can't be so cool ALL the time."

"No, it isn't, yes, he can, and yes, I DO think he's hot!"

"I never asked you that."

"But he is!"

"Kim…never mind. You'll find out that I'm right when we see him on the streets in a few years, begging for money because his 'pretty face' couldn't take him all the way through life."

"Ron, like I said, he's MUCH more than a hot bod-"

"A WHAT?"

"Just…trust me. He's going places and I'll be right there to go with him…" she grinned.

"Argh!!!" Ron yelled. "I can't believe I have to be Mankey's monkey for a week JUST to pass algebra!! This is gonna be SO boring!!"
