Before I say anything about the story, I just want to give Kickin Taylor a huge thank you. This story was originally hers and she gave me permission to be able to rewrite it in my own way, and I just couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Please, check out her channel and read her stories, she's awesome :)
Well anyways, this was super fun to write and please, enjoy and review :)
Mrs. Annaming, or as the rest of the school population seemed to call her, Mrs. Annoying, was in front of the class blabbering on about how Geometry was a wonderful subject to be learning. Most of the class disagreed with her obviously, because when and where were they going to need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to keep their job? None of them wanted to be architects, especially if it involved geometry in any way, shape, or form.
In the back of the classroom, two teenagers sat in their seats, none of them really paying attention to the high pitched voice of their teacher. The messy haired boy nudged the girl next to him, causing her to look up from her Sharpie covered arm.
"You know Kim, I'm pretty sure skin cancer comes from people drawing on themselves," He said to her, a smirk reserved just for her adorning his face.
"Non-Toxic Jack," She stated obviously as she continued to doodle on her arm. She finished writing Wasabi on her skin, the name of the karate dojo she and her friends went to, and closed the top on the marker. She stared at her arm, wondering what else to add to it.
"Well since you have finished showing your love for our karate dojo, I'll just take the marker," Jack said as he reached across the table they shared towards her hand, which held the Sharpie marker. She quickly retracted her hand.
"No, I'm not done with it," She said, holding the black marker close to her.
"Yes you are. No more Sharpie for Kimmy," He said as he reached for the marker again. Kim glared at him when he called her that horrid nickname and grabbed his wrist. She quickly uncapped the black Sharpie and began writing on the palm of his hand.
"What are you doing...?" Jack asked, amusement and curiosity filling his voice. Kim smirked at her creation and let Jack see the black letters on the palm of his hand.
I'm in love with Liza Montez
"What? I am not!" Jack said defiantly. The boy looked to the back of the classroom, where Liza Montez sat. Her pin straight, bottle blond hair was tied up in a too tight, too high ponytail, and an enormously large pink bow was attached to it. Her lips were colored with a very preppy pink color and her cheeks had too much pink blush. Her eyelashes had jet black mascara on it and her blue eyes stared at her bubblegum pink nails. Jack didn't like girls that wore too much makeup.
Especially pink.
Because that's a total turn off.
Jack turned back around in his seat and shuddered involuntarily.
"Get it off," Jack muttered to Kim, his lips barely moving.
"Nah, I don't think I will," Kim murmured back, hey eyes having a playful glint in them.
"Kimmy, get it off,"
"It's Sharpie Jack. It's permanent," She stated as she rolled her eyes. Damn it she really hated that disgusting nickname. She smirked. "Besides, it's not like what I wrote was a lie or anything. Everyone knows you're in love with Montez."
Jack scoffed. "I am not!"
Mrs. Annoying stopped her lecture and looked at Jack, her Chinese eyes narrowing even more. "You are not what, Jack?" she asked, her unforgiving grey eyes staring at him with intense annoyance.
"Uh, I'm not, um, I mean, well," Jack sputtered looking like a deer caught in front of a pair of headlights. Kim looked at the floor and shook her head a little, trying to stifle her laughter that was forming in the back of her throat. Jack could be so funny when he was caught off guard.
"Enough with your stuttering Jack Brewer. If you can't handle this class I would suggest that you step out," Mrs. Annaming said sternly, her un-manicured hand pointing at the door.
"Yes Mrs. Annoying," Jack muttered as he began to put his stuff into his Jansport backpack.
"What was that?" Mrs. Annaming snapped threateningly.
"I said Mrs. Annaming," Jack quickly corrected as he stood up from his chair. He glared at Kim annoyingly as he slung his backpack over his shoulder, Kim sticking her tongue out at him as he did so.
Of course he took the opportunity when Kim was distracted and snatched the Sharpie marker out of her hand.
"Hey!" She said loudly as he smirked and waved the marker in his hand, obviously showing off. He made a big show of it as he stuck it in his jean pocket and walked out of the classroom.
"Is there something you would like to share with the class Kimberly?" Mrs. Annaming asked her, her lips forming a straight line.
"Uh, I have to use the bathroom," Kim stated, standing up from her chair.
"It is called the 'restroom' Ms. Kimberly,"
"Whatever," Kim muttered under her breath as she grabbed the bathroom pass off a hook by the door.
'Bathroom, restroom, toilet, potty,' Kim thought as she stepped out the door. 'Same freaking thing.'
"Hey Jack!" She called when she saw him walking down the hall. Kim could almost hear Jack's smirk form on his face. Jack had stopped walking but had not turned around yet. The blonde haired girl continued walking until she was about five feet from him.
"Give me back my Sharpie, Jack," The girl growled, sticking her hand out so the boy could give her the holy marker. Jack turned around and glanced at the blond girl's hand, noticing how she had little doodles of all sorts and last week's Spanish assignment on it. He gave her a small smirk before slapping her hand with his own as if it were a high-five.
"Seriously Jack, give me back my Sharpie," Kim said, gritting her teeth together to show the boy with the brown how annoyed she really was. Jack looked at her dumbly before theatrically face palming himself.
"Ohhh, you mean this Sharpie right?" He said while taking out said marker from the front pocket of his jeans. Kim nodded frantically.
"You mean the one that I gave you? Oh wait, let me rephrase that. You mean the one that you stole from me," Jack said while twirling the Sharpie marker in his hand.
"Yes that one, it doesn't matter how I attained the stupid thing, just give it back!" Kim whined. She almost started jumping up and down like a toddler during their tantrum, but decided against it, figuring that Jack would never let her live that down. Jack chuckled lightly at her, almost as if he could read her thoughts.
"You know, it's really hard to take you seriously with little hearts doodled over your arm Kimmy. Were they meant for me Kimmy? Because you love me?" Jack said as he walked around the girl, a smirk present on his face. Kim shuffled her feet against the floor nervously and let her blond hair fall in front of her face, hoping that by some miracle it would cover the crimson that was spreading all over her cheeks. Obviously Jack didn't know the effect those words had on the girl. Or maybe he did.
'He doesn't know how I feel about him,' Kim thought to herself.
Of course, Jack didn't know how Kim felt about him. The blonde had made sure that she would never drop any hints. She always sassed him, never flirted with him, and when they were at the dojo, she made sure to kick him as hard as she possibly could. It's not that Kim didn't want to date Jackā¦
It's just that she knew he didn't feel the same way about her.
That's why when Jack had asked that stupid, idiotic, and completely true question, Kim stated, "You wish Jack," and lied right through her perfectly white teeth.
Jack stopped walking around Kimmy and held the Sharpie right in front of her nose. Kim didn't bother trying to take it, knowing that he would just move it out of the way before she could grab it.
"Tell you what Kimmy," Kim winced at the nickname, "I'll think about giving the Sharpie to you tomorrow, and I'll think about what punishment I should give you for getting me kicked out of class. But right now I suggest you run your little feet back to class before you get kicked out too. Okay?"
The blonde haired girl just stared at him.
"I'll take that as a yes. See ya tomorrow Kimmy," And with that statement, the black belt stuck the marker in his front pocket and made his way towards the front doors of the school, not before making a back flip to show off. Kim stared at him for a little while longer before turning on her heel and rushing back to Mrs. Annoying's classroom again.
The next day, Jack entered his math class, the one that both he and Kimmy shared, mentally preparing himself for what he was about to do. When he opened the door, Kim stood up from her seat and seethed out his name rather loudly.
"Jack!"
The boy winced noticeably, but then his usual smirk slowly adorned his face once again.
"Yes Kimmy?" He asked innocently while batting his eyelashes playfully.
"Give. Me. My. Sharpie," the girl said through gritted teeth.
"You mean this Sharpie?" Jack asked while taking the marker out of his front pocket.
"How did you know?" Kim said, her voice dripping in sarcasm.
"It's the only one I have," Jack answered while he shrugged nonchalantly, pretending that the question wasn't rhetorical. Kim rolled her brown eyes.
"Just give it to me Jack!" She yelled in aggravated tone, her brown eyes shooting daggers at him.
"Okay fine, how about I give it to you in exchange for something?" Jack said, twirling the marker in his hand as if it were his staff.
Kim raised her eyebrows suspiciously. "What would I have to give you?" She asked carefully. Kim knew that Jack would not make this easy for her. He'd probably tell her to do his homework for a week or maybe to make him lunch for a week. Kim used her art teacher's microwave to heat up her food every day. The blonde girl was the one that usually cooked in her house, and Jack always stole a few bites from her during lunch, complimenting her after every bite.
Jack smirked. "Let me write something on your face."
The girl raised one of her eyebrows. Well she definitely was not expecting that to be his request. "Write on my face? As in with a Sharpie marker? You're funny Jack,"
"Haha, I know I'm hilarious, but seriously. I wanna write on your face."
Kim looked at the boy and started laughing before she realized that he was, in fact, serious. She stared at him curiously, biting the inside of her cheek in thought. "Why?" She asked after a few seconds of pondering.
"Because you wrote on me; I think I should return the favor," the boy answered simply with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders.
"If I let you write on my face, you can't write anything embarrassing or not true or anything like that," Kim warned him, her eyes turning steely for a few seconds.
"I promise," Jack told her holding out his pinky as an offering for her to take. The blonde grinned and connected her pinky with his, both of them kissing their fists and then saying, "Wasabi," at the same time. Kim smiled at him, knowing that Jack would never break the Wasabi code.
"Okay then, go ahead and knock yourself out," Kim told the brown haired boy, angling her face so that he could have a better angle. The karate prodigy chuckled at her actions and then uncapped the sharpie marker.
As Jack touched her skin with his calloused hands, Kim tried to decipher what it was that she was writing on her. She felt a few swirls, and a few straight edges, but when she put it all together all she got were the words "cookie" and "fat". This thought did nothing to settle her nerves.
"Almost done," Jack murmured while biting his tongue a little, which Kim thought was extremely cute. As he said this though, the classroom door opened, allowing Mrs. Annoying to enter.
"Crawford, Brewer, sit down right now before I give you both a detention," The mathematical witch snapped.
"Hold up, can't you see I'm busy," Jack muttered loud enough for the teacher to hear. The teacher scoffed and muttered something about high school students being stupid.
"Jack, hurry up," the blonde whined, not wanting to get a detention this early in the morning. She tapped her nails against the desk nervously, knowing that everyone was staring at both her and the brown eyed boy.
"Okay, done," Jack said with a smile, capping the marker and handing it to Kim.
'Finally,' the girl thought, returning to her seat as the teacher began lecturing. Kim could feel everyone's eyes on her and she blushed furiously.
'What the butt did he write on me?' She thought to herself as she glanced at Jack who had a satisfied smile on his face.
Kim noticed that a lot of girls were giving her icy glares, and the girl wondered what it was that she had done. The only thing she could come up with was the fact that she got extra credit on an assignment for turning it in early, but surely that could not be the reason as to why everyone is mad at her, right?
When the bell rung, Mrs. Annoying muttered "Class dismissed," in her annoying voice and Kim all but ran towards her locker. The blonde could hear Jack's foot steps behind her, and she had confidence that he could keep up with her. When she reached her locker, Kim began to input her combination (Jack's birthday), and before she finished she started saying, "Honestly Jack, I don't get what this could have possibly gained you. All I'm getting are a whole bunch of stares and glares."
"Just open your locker Kim," Jack said, his voice still having a playful edge to it.
"But seriously, why did you want to write on my face Jack?" Kim asked, but it was at that moment that she opened her locker and glanced at her mirror and gasped, everything making complete sense in that moment. On her face, written in Jack' careful handwriting was the following:
Kim, because I love you.
-Jack
So how did it turn out? I think it was pretty good, a lot different from the other things I've written. Well, I hope you guys liked it, leave me some reviews and if you have any requests you could always PM me or leave it in the reviews :) Love you guys, hope spring break was fun for you guys.
P.S. I had a seizure a few days ago at the hospital. I was getting my vaccine and when they were done I was gone. Don't really know what happened, but I'm fine now. I could already imagine my teacher's face when she asks me what I did for spring break. "Oh, I went to the park, did all my homework, oh and I had a seizure," Can't wait to see her face haha. Well that's all I have left to say so, bye guys :)
