Kim's POV

"Hey, Kim!" The guys all said, walking in.

"Hey! Where have y'all been?" I said, letting my southern accent slip.

"We was just fixin to get us some entertainment down at-" Jack teased me.

"Okay! I get it!" I interrupted. "Jack, can you help me with something? I can't seem to get enough power into my double spinning side strike." (A/N, made up kick)

"Sure!" He said.

Jerry, Milton, and Eddie all started giggling.

"Dude, you totally like Jack!" Jerry said to me.

"I do not!" I shot back really fast. Jack was a little cute, and amazing at karate, but that doesn't mean I like him!

"Really Kim? It is so obvious!" Eddie said.

"That's it!" I yelled. I tried to punch Eddie, but someone stopped it and flipped me. "Jack?" I said in confusion. I shook it off and stood back up. Eddie ran away, leaving Jerry behind. I started to approach him and he backed into the wall.

"Kim! Kim, we were just kidding!" Jerry said, obviously scared. Good.

"Kim," I felt a hand on my shoulder. I brushed it off and kept my focus.

"Kim!" Jack said sternly. He grabbed me with one arm and pulled me back. I tried to escape but he wrapped his other arm around me. I stopped struggling and Jack loosened his grip.

"Oooh, is Kimmy stuck?" Jerry taunted.

I jumped out of Jack's arms and Jerry screamed. Jack reached out for me but I was too quick. Then he grabbed my shirt and I was launched back.

I stood up, not aiming to fight Jerry when Jack picked me up again by my waist. Because he is a few inches taller than me, my feet didn't touch the ground. Jerry, Eddie, and Milton were all laughing at me now.

"Jack! Put me down!" I whined.

"Promise you won't kill anyone?" He said like I was 3.

"Fine! I promise, just let me go!" I yelled.

Jack took me to the mats and set me down. "You guys want to do something?" Jack asked.

"What if we go rock climbing? I heard a new place just opened up!" I suggested.

"Sounds fun!" Jerry said.

"I'm in Kim," Jack told me.

"I have a cello lesson," Eddie said.

I looked at Milton, whose face lit up. He whispered something to Jerry and Eddie who just kept nodding. After a minute I started to get really impatient.

"Hello? Milton, you going?" I asked.

"Sorry Kim, I can't. I have a test next week that I need to study for," He said.

"Looks like it's just me, Jack, and Jerry then!" I said.

"Actually I have to study with Milton!" Jerry said.

"Okay, I guess just me and you Jack… We don't have to go I guess. I mean, if you don't want to." I told Jack.

"Aww, I was really looking forward to rock climbing though!" He said.

"Okay. We can leave now if you're ready. We'll just come back for our stuff. We shouldn't be gone for more than like an hour and a half. Maybe two hours." I said.

"Great! Hop on!" Jack said, turning around so I could hop on his back.

I rolled my eyes and jumped on. We ran out the dojo before Jack stopped and set me down. "Uh- where are we going?"

"Follow me," I said grabbing his hand and stepping forward.

We walked for a few minutes, almost there. I saw something dark and moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned around, forgetting I was still holding Jack's hand and turned right into him.

"Sorry," I said. "I thought I saw something." I stopped and turned back around.

"It's okay," Jack reassured.
