Kendall was on her morning run through the campus, with the music blasting in her ears she couldn't hear the person sneak up behind her. He stranger grabbed her hand causing Kendall to scream out; only to find the person behind her laughing at her. She knew that voice all to well; "Clarence Buttowski" she grit through her teeth. "You should have seen the look on your face" he laughed. "Ha ha, very funny Kick" she deadpanned. "I'll keep on annoying you until you give a rematch" he said confidently. "I have class in an hour, besides, what's the point, you'll lose anyways" she snorted doing a few stretches. "No, I won't" he stated. "Please, you say that everyday Kick" she challenged. "You and I both know that you hate Kaposi's lecturing, He smirked looking into her eyes and slowly walked up to her. She was so caught up in his hypnotising gaze; "I'll hold this as my hostage if you don't" he threatened holding up her ipod, which he picked from her pocket when she wasn't paying attention. "Don't you dare Kick." She grit. "Try me!" he challenged. "Oh for heavens sakes, fine! I'll do it." She said dejectedly. "Great the courts are just ahead, race you" he challenged as they made their way to the basketball courts.
Kendall was better at playing Basketball than Kick, she beat him the first day she came to college and he's been losing ever since. She hadn't gotten into Harvard, she was put on a waiting list and opted not to waste the time and attended college. Gunther, Jackie and the rest of their friends attended different colleges closer to home. She was surprised to say the least when she found Kick happened to attend the same college. They became close friends, well as close as a girl and boy can be. Kendall managed to sweep her feelings for Kick under the rug. She and Kick spent almost all of their time together. Kick had grown into a down right heartthrob that had girls bowled over at every turn. He often flirted with them but never had a steady girlfriend, which annoyed Kendall; Kendall on the other hand gave up her check sweater and skirt for skinny jeans and t-shirts, she always dressed down. Her philosophy was that dating was only a distraction.
They made their way to the courts. "Best 2 out of 3?" Kick asked. "Fine by me Clarence" she deadpanned. Kick bounced the ball around Kendall taunting her, "Come on Perkins, take the ball." She smirked and as he bounced the ball, she swooped in and took it off and made her way to the net, were she tossed it in for the first point. "You were saying?" she asked mockingly. "That's just one point" he spat. Round 2, she bounced the ball around, annoying Kick; she stopped "Here, let's make this interesting" she said throwing him the ball. "Shoot" she challenged. He looked up at her confused; "if you insist" he bounced the ball and hit a slam dunk.
Round 3: He bounced the ball around her and again she swooped in and pulled it from him, "Yet a pro show you how, it's done" she smirked making a run for it towards the basket. Kick ran with her and bumped into her causing her to fall over and he managed to steal the ball and dunk it. Kendall got up and walked up to him, "What the hell Kick, you cheated!" she yelled. "Please, I did no such thing!" He replied coolly. "Yes you did, you can't stand the fact that you're constantly being beaten by a girl so what's the best way to win? It's to cheat!" she yelled. "Face it, you lost. A win is a win!" he replied. "You cheated Kick!" she yelled. "Don't say that!" he grit. "It's the truth, admit it and apologise" she spat. "No! Never! Kick Buttowski does not apologise! Especially not to a geek like you!" he snarled walking away. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked. "Forget it" he said as he walked away. Kendall couldn't believe it, he was such a pig. She made her way to her dorm, were she prepared for class.
She promised herself that she was not going to talk to Kick, so she chose to sit at the back of the class, away from him. Class was about to begin and Kick wasn't here. Her mind began to wander, thinking Kick as probably with some girl, doing God knows what. Kaposi began another dull lecture on organisms and she had to admit that Kick was right, she hated this class. She brought out of thought by Kaposi "Miss Perkins please report to the Principals office. "What?" she asked stunned by the fact that she was summoned. "That's what this young man tells me" he replies. "Now, please make your way there" he said.
Kendall grabbed her books and headed out. The young messenger disappeared. She walked past the gym where she was pulled in by Kick. "What the hell, Kick?" she panted. "Look, we need to talk" he said. "Well it can wait; I've been summoned to the principal's office." She said trying to make her way out only to be held back by Kick. "Please, just hear me out." He started. "I've nothing to say to you" she said. "Kendall, there is no summons to the principals office." He smirked. "What?" she asked in disbelief. "Now please, hear me out." He said taking her hand and led her further into the gym, where she found a table set up with sodas and sandwiches. "Expecting someone special?" she asked monotonously. "Yeah, you" she stopped dead in her tracks. "Look, I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I know I'm a jerk. This is my way of seeking forgiveness" he said pointing to the picnic set up. "Right nothing says forgive me better than helping someone bunk class and having a picnic in the college gym." she mocked. "We both know that I save your life by getting you out of class" he smirked causing butterflies to flutter in Kendall's stomach. "Nice try Kick, you don't get off that easily." She said with folded arms. "Ok, I'll do anything to earn your forgiveness; you know for a fact that I won't last a day in this place without you." He said. "Hmm, I don't know Kick, I'm still not entirely convinced" she shrugged. He inched closer to her. "I'll do anything" he whispered giving here chills. If she didn't know better, she'd think Kick was flirting with her, but that would be crossing the point of no return. "Anything?" she smirked. "Anything" he whispered. "Apologise for cheating and admit that you suck at basketball and that I'm better than you" she challenged. "What?" he asked in horror. "Oh, you heard me" she mocked. "Fine" he grouched. "I suck at basketball and I'm sorry I cheated" he said monotonously. "Not good enough Kick" she smirked. Kick grunted then sighed. "I'm sorry I cheated. You're right I suck at basketball". He laughed. "Was that so hard?" she asked. "Yes" he sighed. "Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked. "Please, my ego can only take so much" he admitted with mock hurt. "Fine I'll let it pass, this time" she said. Kick pulled her in for an unexpected hug. "I got your have sandwiches from the deli around the corner." He said as they sat down and ate.
