SUMMARY: An AU fic. What would happen if Jack and Kim grew up together and used to be best friends, but a few years ago, they had a huge fight and stopped speaking to each other? Now, they're 10th graders and haven't spoken to one another for 4 years. One day, out of the blue, Jack begins talking to Kim again and invites her to sit with him and his friends at lunch. But is Kim still mad at him for ignoring her for so long? Will they become friends again.. and maybe more? Kick :D
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Kickin' It. It would be nice if I did, but I don't. Also, this story is fictional, meaning that any resemblance between characters and real life people (excluding the cast of Kickin' It) is coincidental, as well as any resemblance between places in the story and in real life.
Kim's POV
I'm on my computer surfing the internet when I see an IM notification pop up from a user I haven't heard from in years. In fact, I'm not even sure it's who I think it is. He's probably changed his username by now… Out of curiosity, I click on it.
BlackBelt177: Hi Kim
I type out a quick reply.
TheKimCrawford: Heya. Umm who are you?
BlackBelt177: Jack Brewer
Oh. It is who I thought it was.
TheKimCrawford: Oh okay
BlackBelt177: Do you have a lot of homework?
Okay.. so he finally talks to me after like, what? 3 years? No, 4. Just to ask me about homework? Sure, we may say hi in the hallways and at karate we spar occasionally, but he hasn't said this much to me in like, ages.
TheKimCrawford: I did, but I'm done it all. What about you?
BlackBelt177: Nope not done yet :/
TheKimCrawford: Shouldn't you be doing your homework.. like.. now?
BlackBelt177: I'll do it later. So, Kim, what do you do at lunch?
Umm.. why would he want to know? Whatever. Better talking to him than sitting here bored out of my mind.
TheKimCrawford: Hang out with Grace, but nowadays she's joined so many clubs I can only hang out with her on Fridays. So, I guess, not much.
BlackBelt177: Ok then, do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch tomorrow?
Hmm.. well, sitting alone against the cafeteria wall isn't much fun..
BlackBelt177: I mean, you always look so lonely sitting against that wall.
Okay. This guy is like, a mind reader.
TheKimCrawford: Sure, I guess. Where do you guys sit?
BlackBelt177: In the corner furthest away from the lunch line
TheKimCrawford: Okay, I guess I'll meet you there at the lunch bell.. I've got to go now, though. Byee!
BlackBelt177: Oh ok bye.
TheKimCrawford has exited this chat.
I wonder why he asked me to sit with him at lunch. I mean like, it's not like we're friends anymore. What he did to me in sixth grade was really inconsiderate, and I'm not sure if I've really forgiven him. I guess I could, though. It is Jack, after all. Hm. I turn off the computer and head upstairs to get ready for bed.
Jack's POV
I say bye to Kim and exit our chat. Wow, that was way easier than I thought it was gonna be. When Jerry first dared Milton and I each to ask a girl that we were close to if they would sit with us, I panicked a little, because since Kim and I… fought.. . I haven't really gotten close to any girls.
Besides, what kind of a dare is that? Dares are supposed to be like, run around the school in a dress, or something else humiliating. Coming from Jerry, that dare was pretty lame- last time he made me say yes to everything for a day, and I ended up dating Katie Travis. Not fun. Anyways, Jerry probably has something planned. I wonder who Milton asked. Probably Julie, that girl with glasses that he was staring at across the cafeteria last week.
My thoughts drift to Kim as I shut down my laptop and look for my science textbook. When she ditched the braces and dorky glasses a few months ago, I realized how pretty she is now. She's always been pretty, but when you've got glasses like those, well, let's just say that's all people notice. But now that those horrid glasses are gone, she's actually quite pretty, and apparently, I'm not the only one who's noticed.
I heard that last week, she got asked out by a senior. A SENIOR! And, what's even bigger, she turned him down! Now, rumor has it that at least 12 guys are crushing on her right now, and at least half of them are on the football team. I rummage through my backpack, looking for my textbook. It isn't there. Oh, that's right, I left it downstairs. I run downstairs and quickly grab the textbook I left on the couch earlier. When I get back to my room, I begin my science homework and try to keep my mind off what will happen tomorrow.
Hahaha I was editing this after two months and when I read it I was like wow this is so weird. I'm actually sort of ashamed of it. My writing is sooo different now… Anyways.. Review! Even if it's been a few months since this story was completed, I still do check for reviews, so please, let me know what you think. Thanks!
