I Knew I Loved You

Rated: M (for later chapters to come, but the beginning chapters are pretty PG-13 with some choice curse words and nakedness in the mix)

Background Setting: Angel Grove, second week of September, year 1995. A new school year is upon Angel Grove High students. Kimberly Hart and Jason Lee Scott have been close and together since, well, fetuses. Their mothers grew up closely; living in the same rich community, met in boarding school, when on to college together and became sorority sisters. Jason and Kimberly have been dating, close to 3 years now, about to go into junior year of high school when all things start change due to the collision of Tommy Oliver into Kim's life.

Chapter 1: Loser

Once upon a time, but somehow in the present, there lived a girl and a boy. (I know, funny way to start a story, but hey, my story and I like it:P) They lived in the same town, but lived totally separate lives. One woke to sunshine; the other woke to dark clouds. One was born into a world of freedom and luxury; the other lived in a world of abandonment and hostility. One could have anything she would ever want without much trouble getting, the other had to fight for everything in his life. But both sometimes felt as if they hardly had anything to believe in and wondered if someone out there felt the same as them.

As another school year has begun at Angel Grove High, it was your normal high school setting. All the young adults belong to their own packs, with the rich kids having most the control of course, as life always tend to show. Nerds and geeks had their realm excluded to the chemistry and biology classrooms and of course inhibiting the library, and then you have your bad guys, the bullies and the cool kids who just didn't care about school, that made lives interesting for all in the setting. We start by taking a look into the life of the young and beautiful, Kimberly Ann Hart.

Enter Kimberly Hart. At first glance you couldn't believe for someone so young, at the tender age of 16 has accomplished so much. She was short, but don't hold that against her or she'll bit your head off. She has brown hair that shimmered in the sunlight, at the perfect length, to the middle of her back, layers to perfection. She was petite, blame the gymnastics and genes; she has brown doe eyes and smile that could stop traffic any day. Yes, Kimberly was beautiful, no way to deny it. Yet, Kimberly had dark secret. She wished for things to be different, even a bit more exciting. Though she was an accomplished gymnastic star, being the reigning '95 National and World champion in many categories including all-around. Kimberly felt as though her life was just that, not her life. It was set out for her already place before her very brown eyes. She was a straight A-student, President of the incoming Junior class, club president to many organizations from dance, cheerleading, garden to art, and so on. A gentle compassionate soul, fiery when needed, but all in all, a good, honest girl. She seemed to do no wrong, and whatever she touches turns to gold.

It was just the beginning of a new school year, but there was tons of things to be done, plus Kimberly was out a few days, so was just now catching up. Jason Lee Scott is her boyfriend. Smart, funny, strong, charming young man, and not just a dumb jock because he plays football, basketball and has a 3rd degree black belt in Tai Kwon Do. Many people hated Kimberly by the way she came across; then again she was loved by many more.

And then there is Thomas James Oliver. Tommy to everyone else. Love was something he hardly heard in his daily life. Not that he cared much for it anyway. Love was a waste, something that girls make up due to their obsessions with Disney princes. (Oh, Prince Eric... what a hunk) Tommy was a tall, mysterious, tough, with gorgeous toned body. Maybe all those years of not having the normal loving parental environment, and having to grow up much earlier than most would toughen anyone. Tommy was smart, though he would never claim it. He was a bit of an outcast, a bad boy to say. His hair was the perfect shade of silk brown and long, envious by dozens of girls. It just wasn't fair that the boy's hair was better than 50 percent of the girls. And those eyes. His eyes, where that shade of brown that you swear could melt an iceberg with one glance. Girls did double takes at the sight of him, not that Tommy minded. It actually made him smile.

Kimberly parked her brand new Land Rover car in her custom parking space outside Angel Grove High. It was an early, or was it a late birthday/thanks for being the Champ, Champ gift? Kimberly checked her reflection the mirror. She tossed some hair aside and smile.

"Perfect hair day again, thank you!" She was running a bit late, thanks to having to say goodbye to her father, who left for Japan a few moments ago. Kimberly rushes to grab her backpack and get into her back seat to pick up all the flyers, books and papers she needed with her latte in her other hand. It was surprising to see her so unorganized this early in the morning. She was a perfectionist when it came to things like this. Kimberly struggled with opening the door, not wanting to part with her latte so soon, though she probably should have. The school bell rung for the second time that early morning, which means that was the tardy bell. The halls were nearly bare, with everyone having already gone to their classes just after the first bell.

"Ahh," Kimberly groaned, as she had to get open another door before rushing down the halls. Just as she turned a corner and felt as though she ran into a brick wall. Books, papers, her latte flying up into the air, as she fell backward from the collision. Kimberly hit the ground in a loud thud. The other person feeling the pain of the concrete floor against his butt as well. "Oh no!" Kimberly sat up and found her things all in a mess. She lifted her bookbag strap up as she got on her knees to try and savage some of this mess.

"You need to watch where you are running at little lady!" Kimberly gasped as the other person yelled at her.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me!"

"You barreled into me, jerk!"

"Whatever." Kimberly looked up to see a boy getting to his feet after rubbing his butt.

"Well, excuse me!"

"You're excused," The young man said walking away from the scene after picking up his bookbag.

"Hey!" He stopped and turned back to Kimberly. "Thanks for the help man!" Kimberly couldn't believe the nerve of this guy, not even offering her a hand.

"No problem and you're welcome. I gotta jet, can't be late again! Principal Caplain will have my head for sure this time!" He smiled and continued down the hall.

"Loser!" Kimberly pulled at her books and papers. Kimberly finally made it to her first period class, extremely late of course, still steaming about her hard encounter with that boy.

At lunch, Aisha and Kimberly sat at their normal table. Aisha Campbell, best friends with Kimberly since before high school, when Kim's other best friend, Trini Kwan left for Europe with her parents, because her father's company got the new International deal and had to move there. Trini and Kimberly came into school together and immediately clicked since daycare. Kimberly felt lost the day she had to say goodbye to Trini. She was friends with Aisha, but they became best friends, sisters, after that. Aisha wasn't apart of the Society Hill all her life until recently, but family was a stronghold and involved in getting the community to be more seen about money and power just like the Hart. Kimberly and Aisha these days were always staying over each other's houses, gossiping, shopping, and horsing around like best friends tend to do in high school.

"So, what are the plans this weekend?"

"I haven't a clue?"

"Girlfriend, its just days away, as in this weekend! You are supposed to be on the ball!"

"Don't you think I know that?! Jase kept insisting he has everything set and I have nothing done!"

"What a romantic that Jason is."

"Yeah, whatever," Kimberly said with a smile. "He's really sweet, and…nice..."

"Nice?"

"Nice."

"Come on, 3 years is a very long time."

"Yeah, it is. 3 years, wow. I guess since we have known each other since fetuses, being together was just natural for us."

"You don't sound excited, Kim."

"I am! I, I just… everything in my life has always been like a plan… and I'm just a tag along."

"You do love Jason, right?"

"Of course! Don't be ridiculous! I lo-love Jason. And I have some presents and romantic things in mind. I'll be ready by the weekend." A group of rowdy boys came into the cafeteria. Kimberly and Aisha looked up, Aisha shrugged, but Kimberly kept her eyes on a particular young man. She made a face of disgust and dropped her fork into her salad. "Ew."

"What's the matter?"

"Him?" Aisha looked back. "The one in the green shirt and ponytail."

"Oh, him," Aisha said with a smile. "Thomas James Oliver, just our resident bad boy. What's wrong problem him?""

"Whatever his name is, eww! He's a fucking loser through and through."

"How can you say that? You don't even know him," Aisha said laughing.

"Oh, I know him enough!"

"What did Tommy do to you?"

"The reason I didn't finish my latte this morning."

"Oh, so that's why you have been grumpy all morning," Aisha said.

"Tommy Oliver, where have I heard that name before?"

"Oh, I don't know. Could it possibly be the fact that you have been going to the same school together since before high school when he moved into town like middle school."

"Really?" Kimberly asked a bit stunned as she ate a piece of crabmeat and spinach.

"Yeah. We have had some classes with him since freshmen year."

"Ugh, such a jackass."

"I hope you are not referring to me as a jackass," Jason said with a smile.

"Hey baby," Kimberly said as she reached up and kissed his chin. Kimberly made room for his lunch tray.

"Hey, Jase."

"Hey Sha." Jason sat down and kissed Kim's cheek. "So, who's the jackass?"

"Tommy Oliver." Kimberly looked at Aisha, who smiled.

"What did he do now?"

"We sort of collided in the hall this morning and I dropped my latte."

"Oh, heaven forbid you lost your latte," Jason said.

"I know! I live for that last drop," Kimberly said drinking some juice.

"Maybe he did you a favor, you are always drinking those things, and maybe you should cut back. Coach is always telling you caffeine is bad for you." Kimberly glared at Jason. Jason held up his sandwich for a bite. Kimberly took it and took herself a large bite. Jason smiled and let her feed him a bite.

"Man, tell your mother I said to make me lunch sometimes too. If I have to eat another salad my mother makes Maria make me another day..."

"Of course, I will honey." They kissed softly on the lips.

"Ooooh, teenage love is in the air," Zack said sitting down at the table with Billy and Adam. Zachary Taylor, or Zack-man, is the dancer, fun going, and attractive soul of the group. He is the flirt at heart, teaching the guys a little somethin' somethin' every day. William 'Billy' Cranston is the genius, lovable geek in the 6some, that no one but Trini could understand, but no one dares to pick on him around his friends. And lastly, Adam Park, the quiet soul, is the true romantic of the group that loves poetry and spin words to make any girl moan. Aisha had a secret crush on him since he read Shakespeare in class and was looking somewhat at her. But then Billy had a crush on Aisha…every group has their secrets.

Aisha and Kimberly went to get some dessert after finish their lunch; Aisha went for ice cream typically. Every day Kimberly and/or Aisha would bring some gourmet lunch. Dessert was probably the one thing that both actually liked to get from school.

"So, when you gonna tell Jason about the singing?"

"Soon." Kimberly checked through the dessert trays.

"Kimberly, you said that 2 months ago."

"And I will," Kimberly said surveying the area for dessert.

"He will be so proud of you."

"I know that, but right now, that is my thing and I just want to keep it to myself. What do I want?" Aisha went on back to the table licking her ice cream cone, as Kimberly eyed her prize across from the ice cream machine. "Oh, jello!" Just as Kim's hand went to the dessert tray of jello, another hand swooped in and took the cup.

"Hey!"

"Hello to you too." Tommy was about to take a spoonful of the jello when he stopped.

"I was about to take that," Kimberly said as she put her hands on her hips.

"Oh, didn't see your hand on it," Tommy said about to take the spoonful.

"Because you snatched it away before I could!" Kimberly took the spoon and cup before Tommy could even get a single taste.

"Hey, that was mine!"

"Oh, so sorry, didn't see your hand on it." Tommy smiled.

"Sorry, your highness." Tommy bowed and went to get some other dessert.

"Do you have a problem with me?"

"Why would I, princess?"

"My name is not princess jerk!"

"Of course."

"It's Kimberly, by the way." Tommy barely looked back.

"Yeah, I know who you are." Tommy searched the dessert tray for something else. Kimberly sighed. She stopped before putting the spoonful of jello into her mouth.

"Oh, last jello I see. You know what, here, take it," Kimberly said as she held it back to Tommy. Tommy held his hands up, shaking his head.

"Oh, no, no, no, princess. I am fine."

"You can have it!"

"You look like a girl who needs it, I'll just get an apple," Tommy said picking up one. He rubbed it on his chest.

"What does that suppose to me?" Kimberly asked not liking that tone.

"Nothing, princess."

"Stop calling me that!" Tommy held his hand up for defense as he walked out biting into his apple. "Jerk! I tried to be nice."

"Whatever…"

"Ugh! He is such a loser!"

After school, Aisha and Kimberly were walking toward their cars when they saw a battle going on. There were a group of teenagers hiding behind several cars, while Jason and many others were on the other side of the parking lot, hiding as well. They all were tossing colorful balls at each other.

"What's going on over there?"

"I don't know," Kimberly said with a sigh as she held her books to her chest. She wasn't in the mood after 2 stranger encounters with Tommy Oliver. One too many in her eyes. It was time to just get home, do some homework, practice a little floor and beam and hit the sack. She didn't want to risk anything else happening today.

"Let's go see!"

"What is there too see, just junior boys horsing around, what a surprise," Kimberly said. Zack tossed a water balloon back from the other group of guys. The balloons had surprises in them, most had water, but then some had crème, or jello.

"Ladies! I would run!"

"Nah! We like to have fun too!" Aisha grabbed Kimberly in a jerk and they hid behind a car.

"I don't want to be here!" Kimberly yelled seeing the mess about to unfold.

"Come on! Live a little!"

"Oh, but these shoes are so not water balloon fight worthy!"

"Oh, come on!"

"I don't want to break a nail!"

"Oh, have some fun babe!" Jason ducked as a water balloon missed him, but the splatter of the crème hit his face. Kimberly burst into laughter.

"Yeah, this might be fun," Kimberly wiped his face with tears in her eyes. "Who started this?"

"Everyone!" Jason yelled.

"There was extra jello and crème in storage, someone broke so, and we decided to use it!" Zack yelled tossing another balloon. It hit off the top of a car and hit Rocky. Everyone laughed. Kimberly and Aisha picked up some balloons and tossed their rockets toward the others.

The principal came outside and found the commotion. Students were battling, not paying attention as he walked right into the middle of the action. He got drenched with several water balloons.

"Enough!" Everybody stopped holding their balloons about to strike, standing up straight. "Detention! Detention to the next water balloon thrown!" Everybody slowly straightened up, putting their balloons down. "Now, if you want to make it to your senior year, I suggest you all go home immediately." Principal Caplain turned and went back inside. Kimberly and Aisha started heading toward their cars when a red balloon was sent over their heads. Kimberly gasped and turned to see dozens of water balloons flying at her. Aisha dropped to the ground, but Kimberly wasn't quick enough. She got drenched in water, crème and jello.

"Ahhhh!" Kimberly screamed at her filthy top and skirt. She could care less about the outfit, but her shoes were at a whooping 400 bucks from Bloomingdale's. Everyone from the other side was crying they were laughing so hard. Kimberly shook her foot.

"Oh baby, it's not that bad!" Jason said laughing wiping her face with his hands.

"I'm a mess! Look at my shoes! My mother's gonna kill me!"

"She looks like a dessert!" Tommy roared. Kimberly looked and glared at Tommy's comment. Everyone laughed.

"Yummy! I want a taste!" Rocky yelled.

"This isn't fair!"

"It is called a battle hun." Jason wiped her face with his shirt. Kimberly looked over to see Tommy and his friends laughing at her still. Tommy was bent over a car laughing.

"I just got my hair done yesterday!" Kimberly whined pulling jello from inside her top. "Disgusting."

Kimberly walked to her car. The look she gave Tommy as she drove pass him made everyone laugh.

"Oh, did you see that look Tommy boy?" Rocky asked. "That's one mad white girl."

"More like spoiled princess. Oh, my hair, my hair is a mess!! My shoes!" Everyone laughed. "My hair! Oh, oh, why me!"

"My 500 dollar shoes! Waaaaa!"

"Yeah, but you might not want to mess with that one," Derek said.

"I heard her family is so rich that her rich father could make your life hell for messing with his babygirl."

"Like I care about her father or their money."

Next day

In Mr. Oaks History class, he finally started to prepare the students for this year's big project. This research poster project would be worth 50 of their grade, along with tests and class participation. But this year instead of friends working together like they always do, Mr. Oaks gave the class a bit of a twist. Names will be drawn from a hat for the 2-team project. This year, the projects were a starting point in which they would expect to build on in their senior year. It was to be their first thesis paper on a great historical character of the past, and there were no limitations on the person. He or she could be an American, African, and Japanese it didn't matter. Mr. Oaks placed all the names in the hat.

"Okay. First team… Aisha Campbell…" Kimberly and Aisha briefly crossed their fingers and looked at each other in hopes. "Billy Cranston. Hmmm…I need to shake the hat up better."

Aisha smiled as Mr. Oaks drew Billy's name from the hat. She was guaranteed an A in this class. Kimberly groaned. Jason placed his hands on Kim's shoulders.

"Still got me."

"Oh great." Jason smiled. Mr. Oaks went through the class quickly.

"Next group…. Jason Scott and…" Kimberly sighed, as her name still wasn't called. "Derek Lee." Jason shrugged since they did play football together.

"Only a few names left. Here we go, Kimberly Hart…" Kimberly looked around the room, Skull was left, and he was blowing kisses at her. Kimberly made a face in horror. 'Not Skull, ahh!'. Tommy's name was called finally. Kimberly turned and looked at him. Tommy was half-asleep and barely acknowledged when his name was called. "Tommy Oliver!" Mr. Oaks repeated.

"Huh?"

"Wake up!" Tommy unfolded his arms across his chest and yawned as he sat up. Kimberly covered her face.

"Oh great." Kimberly groaned. "What a loser…"

Well...please tell me whatcha think! Always harping for some feedback, it's my drug :P

Until next time, love ya my peeps!

Teaser to Chapter 2: Breathe Girl and Try Again

"Shall we stop, Miss Hart?"
"Uh, I guess so…"
"But Kimberly we are going to be late!"
"Just a second…" The limo stopped right beside the truck. A window rolled down. Kimberly about age 9 scrunched up her nose at Tommy and his mesy uncle with her friends.
"What is the odious smell?"
"Did they fall into a dump?" Kimberly laughed with the silly girls.
