A is for Amazing

A 15 year old Kimberly Crawford came into the dojo wearing an old sweatshirt and sweatpants. Her face looked angry, and she was in a bad mood. She was ready to hurt anyone who crossed her.

"Hey Kim. You look (cringe) great," Jerry joked. She glared at him.

"One more wise remark and you're going to have a black eye," she threatened. Jerry threw his hands in the air, "Sorry."

"Kim, whats up with you?" Jack asked when he heard what Kim said to Jerry. Kim glared at Jack, "Nothing's wrong. I feel just great."

"Kim, I've known you long enough to know that something's bothering you. You're dressed in old clothes with no color and you have no make up, and honestly, you look like a demon," Jack said. Kim groaned, "Gee, way to be straight up."

"Kim, what's wrong?" Jack asked again. "Please tell me."

"Nothing's wrong, Jack. Stop telling me what to do. You're not the boss of me, so just FREAKING LEAVE ME ALONE!"Kim shouted. Jack's eyes widened and he backed away. Kim's heart skipped a beat. She didn't mean to make Jack feel bad.

"Jack... I-"

"I get it, you've had a bad day. Do you want to talk about it?" Jack asked. "If you don't, it's fine."

"I... I..." Kim stammered, then broke down. "I can't take it. I don't belong here. Donna Tobin thinks I'm a bitch with no life, my grades dropped, causing my parents to hate me, and Brad Wolfe called me a dumb blonde. I look hideous, I shouldn't even be here. I'm going to take my life," Kim says, crying. Jack grabbed her arm.

"No. You won't do that. Kim, you belong... with me. Donna Tobin doesn't know what she's talking about. And neither does Brad Wolfe. Your parents know you're a great student, that's why they're being hard on you. You do belong here. With me. Kim, I want you to know that, I think you're amazing," Jack said honestly. "You are amazing."

"You think I'm amazing?"Kim asked, smiling. "I look like a mess though."

"I don't care how you look, to me, you always look amazing,"Jack told her. Kim smiled, "Thanks. And Jack, I think you're amazing too."

"Really? Well, would you like to be my girl friend, Kimberly?" Jack smiled goofily.

"I would love that, Jackson. I love you," Kim said. "But right now, I need to change. I look hideous."

"Nope, I'm going to go show off my new girl friend. In your hideous clothes and all," Jack grabbed Kim and carried her up and out of the dojo.
