I'm back with a new Kick story! I actually wrote a few chapters of Falling in Love with Your Best Friend for the show How to Rock, but I got tired of it. So I changed the characters to make it fit Kickin' It, where I will hopefully complete the story. And WARNING: I switch POVs a lot. Enjoy :)
SUMMARY: Seaford High is holding a Spring Ball. The Wasabi Warriors plus Julie, Mika, and Grace all hope for their crushes to ask them. Who will ask who? Pairings: Jack/Kim, Milton/Julie, Jerry/Mika, Eddie/Grace. Enjoy :)
(Jack)
Eddie, Jerry, Milton, Julie, Mika, Kim, and I were sitting at our lunch table at Seaford High. Note I said sitting and not eating. We would be eating...but I don't think the food on our trays are edible. Anyway, Eddie, Milton, and Jerry were having an argument over whether llamas were part dog while Julie and Mika listened to a story Kim was telling them. I was luckily seated next to Kim. Her blonde wavy curls were resting on her shoulders and would bounce every time she moved her head. Which was a lot. Her glossed pink lips moved up and down as she told her story, making it very tempting to kiss. Her left arm would brush against my right arm every now and then and her soft skin smelled like vanilla. And I, Jack Brewer, would like to say that I was searching the cafeteria for a hot girl to flirt with, but no. As you can tell, I was staring at my best friend and crush, Kim Crawford.
Grace came running up to us, squealing, holding a flier in her hand. She took a seat between Mika and Julie while waving the flier around frantically. The seven of us looked at the excited cheerleader, then went back to whatever we were doing before. Grace sighed and squealed again, this time louder.
Kim was the first to speak up, "Does this matter involve boys, parties, dances, clothes, school, or Donna Tobin?"
By this time, the boys paused their argument, the girls stopped their story, and I had averted my gaze from Kim. "Well..." Grace started. "It involves everything in that list" Immediately, the rest of us returned to our previous activities. "Guys!" Grace said frustrated. "This is important! This Saturday is...wait for it...THE SPRING BALL!" No reaction from the four of us. Grace continued, "And we're all going!"
We all sat up straight.
(Eddie)
Me? I have to go the Spring Ball. That means I need date! I should ask Grace! What? I can't do that! She'll reject me! And I've NEVER been rejected by a girl! Well, maybe that's because I've never asked a girl out. But still! I don't want to get rejected!
(Jerry)
Woah! Swawesome! A Spring Ball. That gives me the chance to ask out my future wife, Mika. Ahhhh. Life. Is. Good. WAIT! Mika probably wants to go with someone else! It's okay. She will fall for my Swag Charm.
(Grace)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeep! I'm so excited! Everything is going to be SO perfect! The perfect boy will ask me. I will have the perfect dress. Sigh. I hope Michael asks me. My life is so perfect.
(Milton)
Cool! A Spring Ball! Not really my thing, but I'll go for it. At least I won't have to go through the trouble of finding the perfect girl to ask. I already have Julie! I just need to find a romantic way to ask her. Ooh! Maybe I'll write a complicated chemical equation and the answer is my way to ask her! Milton, you're a genius!
(Julie)
Great! This Spring Ball will definitely be fun! I'll probably have to ask one of the girls to help me with my make-up, though. And I can't wait to see what romantic way Milton will ask me in!
(Mika)
Oooh! From what I've heard, a Spring Ball is like a school dance in the spring! This should be very exciting! I've never had these back where I lived! I wonder if Jerry will ask me.
(Jack)
A Spring Ball. Cool! Let's see...my date. I could always ask Kim. But there's no way she would say yes. She's got that stupid crush on stupid Brody Carlson. But there's no harm in trying! Yeah. I'll do it. I am going to ask Kim Crawford to be my date for the Spring Ball.
(Kim)
Did I hear her right? Did she just say that I, Kim Crawford, was going to a ball? As in a place where you go with a date to dance? This is not happening. First of all, who would ask me to go with them? And second...I can't dance! I wonder if Jack will ask me. Wait...did I just think that? No. I do not have a crush on my best friend. I don't. I have a crush on Brody Carlson. But Brody probably won't ask me either. Ugh. Now I'm probably going to go shopping with Grace for the "perfect" dress. Gosh. I hate the word perfect.
Eddie interrupted my thoughts, "Hey guys. Who are you thinking of going to the dance with?"
"Ooh!" Grace started. "I am going to the dance with Michael!"
"Awesome Grace! Did he already ask you?" I asked.
Grace pouted, "No. But he will!"
I looked at Eddie who looked a bit dejected. I leaned over to Jack and whispered to him, "Is it just me or does Eddie look a little upset?"
"It's not just you." His voice tickled me ear as a rush went through my body. Woah. That did not happen. I am not falling for my best friend.
"What about you, Eddie?" asked Jerry.
"Ummm...I-I...don't know," he stammered.
"Awww..." Jerry said. "Well, I'm gonna find a super swag girl! And ask her in a super sway way!"
We all rolled our eyes at this and chuckled. "Milton?"
Milton put his arm around Julie and jokingly said, "Well, I don't know. Do you Julie?"
Julie laughed and replied, "I don't know, Miltie."
I mentally 'awwed' at their cuteness while Mika started talking, "I will just wait until someone asks me. I'm not sure how this dance thing works so I will just have to wait and see."
We all nodded in understanding and Grace said. "Now Kim."
"Well..." I started. "I was thinking maybe Brody would ask me." Grace face lit up. I quickly finished, "But that will probably never happen...so I might not go."
Grace's eyes got wide. "Come on Kim! Brody definitely will ask you! Trust me." All the girls nodded in agreement. She turned to the boy next to me. "What about you, Lover Boy?"
I shifted myself so I could look at Jack. Surprisingly, he looked a little lost. "Umm...not so sure yet."
"What?!" I exclaimed. "You don't know who you're going to ask? When there so many of your oh-so-amazing fan girls out there?"
Jack just shrugged your shoulders. "I don't know. I kind of want to ask this one girl, but she probably has a date already."
I couldn't help it, but I did feel a little jealous when Jack said he had a girl on his mind. But what did I expect coming from Lover Boy.
(Jack)
Okay. I HAVE to ask Kim before Brody does. She may not know it, but Brody has been eyeing her lately so I'm going to have to work fast. The bell interrupted my thoughts and we all went our separate ways to our next class.
Skip to the end of the day when the friends are at the Bobby Wasabi Dojo.
(Eddie)
Jerry and I sat on the couch while waiting for the others. He was still talking about llamas, but I was in no mood. Jerry finally looked up at me. "Dude. You okay? Does this have anything to do with the fact that your dream girl already has plans?"
I glared at my friend, "Hey. Grace never said that she was going with Michael. She said she wanted to. Who knows? Michael might not ask her! But then again, she's the most beautiful girl on the planet! Who wouldn't ask her!" I sighed and sunk deeper into the couch while Jerry patted my shoulder.
At that moment, our six friends shuffled into the room. I stood up. "Ready to practice?"
"Wait." Grace said. "I think we should first fill each other in on our dates progress. And since I'm dying to tell you guys...I'll go first!"
Julie rolled her eyes, "Go on."
"So...Michael asked me to the dance! Eeeeeeeeeeeep!"
The boys high fived Grace while the girls gave her gave her a quick hug. "That's awesome Grace!" I just sighed not knowing what else to do.
Julie spoke up next, "Miltie was super sweet and arranged a chemical equation for me. When I solved it, it spelled out: Julie, will you go to the dance with me? Isn't that so sweet?" Milton just blushed and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. I smiled at this.
"Okay me next." Kim looked pretty excited about this so I guessed she got what she wanted. "So...BRODY CARLSON ASKED ME TO BE HIS DATE!" she screamed.
"AHHHH!" Her girl-friends screamed too, hugging Kim. "I told you he would ask you!" Grace exclaimed.
Jerry turned to me. "Uhh...Eddie? Do you see Jack's face?"
I glanced over at Jack who was staring at Kim sadly. "I guess we know who that girl was," I said to Jerry who nodded. "So...you okay about the whole Grace thing?" he asked me. "Yeah..." I nodded.
Suddenly, Jack blurted out of nowhere, "I'm going with Donna!"
Us guys stared at him while the girls stopped their conversation about dresses and glared at him.
Grace took a step towards Jack. " Tobin Donna?
Jack nodded once.
"Why?" Kim questioned.
"Well, one: she's hot. Two: she didn't have a date. And three: she's hot! I'm sorry if you guys don't like her but I'm going with Donna!" And with that, he stomped out of the room.
Jerry weakly offered, "I'm going with Mika." Grace and Julie immediately hugged Mika. "Awesome Jerry! Congrats!" Milton and I gave Jerry a "man-hug" but I noticed that Kim was just staring at the door with her arms crossed.
"So Eddie. What about you?" Grace asked me.
"Uhhhh...haven't decided yet."
"That's okay. It's only Thursday so you still have time to find a girl."
"Actually I was think I would go alone."
"Oh that's fine, too! As long as you're there!" Grace replied
Rudy came out of his office and asked where Jack was. When we said that he left, Rudy just cancelled practice and returned to his office, where he was probably trying to get Tootsie out of the to all of us now.
Grace turned to Kim, "Come on Kimmy! We have to find the PERFECT dress!" And with that, Grace dragged Kim out of the room, leaving the rest of us to go home.
