Somebody That I Used to Know
I took down Mysteries 'cause it totally sucked, but I'm reforming it into this! Enjoy!
KIM'S POV
We are NOT the Wasabi Warriors without Jack. One day I told him we couldn't be friends, and the next day he shunned me completely. He won't look anyone in the eye, and he doesn't talk. At all. The teachers literally had to learn that. Girls like him even more now, but he shuns them too. That boy's gone. Absolutely gone.
But, today is the day I'm going to talk to him. Jack.
"Hi." Silence. "Who are you?" He doesn't even remember. "Oh, you're that girl who's practically married to Brad Starling. Your name is... Kim. Right? Well, lemme get this off my chest. I don't see you're purpose here. I'm nobody. There's no reason for you to be here. So carry on." "I'm Kim Crawford" "K-Kim Crawford? Well, sorry, that changes nothing. I haven't cared about that for 2 years. The only thing that matters to me is my little sister. Some of her friends are pretty cool, but she's the only thing I love." "What about your parents?!" "I DON'T HAVE ANY!""But we're not the Wasabi Warriors without you, Jack!" "Find a replacement! You did that when I almost went to Japan!" "We tried!" "You didn't need me then. You don't need me now. I'm still, and always will be, nobody."
Then, Brad came to comfort me. "Did that jerk stand you up?" "No. He said that he wasn't needed anymore. I'm a little wary of that." "But Jack means nothing to us anymore, right?" "Umm..." Then he hit me. On the butt. Like he always does. "Ya know what Brad? We are over. Nothing is going on between us anymore. Leave. Now."
MARCI POV
Jack came home. "Go to the dojo Jack. I'll call Benji. We can hang out." "Why?" "Just get your blind self over there. It's two blocks away. You can sense everything you can't see! Now go!"
JACK POV
I did what Marci told me to do. I walked into the dojo. Silently, discreetly, I sat down, my back turned. Then someone came in. "Welcome to the Bobby Wasabi Dojo... JACK?!" "Yeah. Kim, why didn't you want to be friends?" "I was with Brad who was abusing me. He told me I couldn't be friends with you. I broke up with him yesterday." "Ohh. Kim, I want you to know someth-" "JACK!" My old friends called "You're back!" "I guess I am. And this time I'll stay"
My pounding headaches sadly started then. My heart beat became faster. My memories came back. A blurry picture of work, fun work. Helping out my large family. Marci splashing people with water. Something telling me, 'You're halfway home' I backed up against something stone like, but hollow. I opened my squeezed shut eyes, revealing foggy eyes. "Jack, is there something you're not telling us?"
