Chapter One: A Night to Remember

Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It.

KIM POV:

It was bright and early on a Saturday morning in the fall. I was headed to karate practice, and I could feel the excitement rushing through my veins. Knowing that I had all day doing what I loved to do with the people I loved most always brought a smile to my face.

I threw on a pair of yoga leggings, a Seaford High Cheer tanktop, a zip-up hoodie, and my gray Uggs, and walked out the door, calling a quick good-bye to my mom. Every Saturday Jack and I stopped at the bagel shop in town to get a coffee before heading to the dojo. Once again, another reason Saturdays were always a highlight of my week.

Jack Anderson. The name lit up in my head, like a thousand fires sparking. Every time we touched I could feel the sparks. I could picture us.

Not that I'd ever tell him that.

Jack was my best friend in the entire world. I wasn't about to ruin my friendship over a stupid crush.

It would go away eventually, wouldn't it?

Not realizing how deep in thought I was, I reached the bagel shop. I pulled my hoodie tight across my stomach, shivering from the cold.

Next thing I knew, two warm hands gripped my shoulders. "You a little cold there, Kimmy?"

I turned around and smiled. "Yeah, a bit, actually." Jack's brown eyes bore into mine, and the crooks of his mouth curled up into a smile.

"I suppose I can lend you my jacket, if you're really freezing."

"That would be great," I replied. But my thoughts were speeding past at a million miles per hour. Jack...gave me his hoodie.

We're just friends, I told myself.

I pulled it over my head, realizing it was from a basketball team of an old school of his. His last name and number was on the back. I crossed my arms over my chest, breathing in the cold air. The hoodie smelled like him.

Jack linked his arm around my waist. "What do you want?" He whispered in my ear.

"Hmm," I whispered back. "How about a small latte?"

Jack went in to order our coffees and came back out five minutes later. He handed me mine and we were on our way to the dojo.

Ten minutes later we got to the dojo. We were still early; Rudy wasn't even there yet. I was finished with my coffee, so I ran into the girls locker room to change. When I walked back out, there was still no one at the dojo but me and Jack.

"I bet I can beat you," Jack challenged me.

"Bring it." We climbed onto the sparring mats. He threw a punch that I easily dodged. I kicked, and he dodged it, then grabbed my arm and attempted to flip me over. However I wasn't falling for that. I pushed him down and he tripped me, causing me to fall on top of him.

"Hey!" He argued. "That's not allowed!"

I bit my lip. "Yeah?" I asked. "Who says?"

"Everyone!" Jack cried. I laughed and he pushed me off of him. "Now it's my turn!" He grabbed me in a huge bear hug and pinned me up against the wall.

"Who said this was allowed?" I whispered.

Jack didn't answer at first. He was gazing into my eyes, begging me to hold the stare. I did. Finally he murmured, "everyone."

He was leaning in, closer, closer...he closed his eyes, and so did I.

Then the chimes on the door rang, and we both pulled apart.

"Hey, kids," Rudy said, emerging from the doorway.

I sighed. Jack was going to kiss me, and I missed my chance.

And that was just my luck.

JACK POV:

I pinned Kim up against the wall. This is it, I thought. I'm going to do it now.

As I leaned into kiss her, Rudy walked into the dojo. "Hey kids," he called. The only thingI could think was, God Damnit, Rudy! But instead I mumbled, "Oh, hey."

Kim slinked away from me, her face bright red. Her long blonde hair was in two braids, which was unusual, but it looked cute on her.

Kim was the sort of person you couldn't help but have a crush on. She's the girl you'll fall in love with in a matter of ten seconds because, well, she's just that awesome. Everything about her is perfect, if you ask me. The way she says "That's it!" When she's mad, the way she denies something and blushes when she's embarrassed, the way she'll spend hours just talking to me about random things.

I really just love everything about her.

I walked over to one of the dummies and started punching away. In the next ten minutes, Milton, Eddie, and Jerry waltzed in, taking their time. When they went to get dressed, Rudy escaped to his office, leaving Kim and I alone again.

I stopped punching the dummy and walked up behind her. She was busy at her locker.

"Hey, Kim?" I asked.

She turned around. "Yeah?"

"Since Rudy kind of interrupted us there, do you want to go get froyo or something after practice?"

Kim's cheeks flushed and she smiled. Her eyes lit up. "Sounds great, Jack."

I pulled her into a tight hug, taking in the smell of her hair. I realized I held on for a little too long, but she wasn't letting go, either, so I ignored it.

Just then, Jerry walked in the room. "Whoa! What's going on here?"

"Nothing, Jerry," Kim said, rather annoyed.

I wasn't going to admit it to anyone, but I hoped Kim was just saying that, and actually saw the hug and date as something. Because I know I did.
