-Hey guys! I changed my pen name from kick4eternity and this is my first fanfic so I hope that you'll go easy on me. Anyway this is currently a one-shot but I may add more one-shots or two-shots if I get any more inspiration. So enjoy!
KIM
The cool morning summer breeze caressed my cheeks causing a happy sensation to course through me. I am in an exceptionally good mood today, probably because the weather is so perfect. Grinning widely, I enter the doors of Seaford High and head towards my locker. I find it a bit peculiar, considering the guys are always at my locker so we can head to homeroom together. Unaffected by this, I threw my stuff inside and took the things I needed.
"Hey Kim" Milton said.
"Hey Milton, where are the others?" I ask cheerfully. He shook his head disapprovingly and said,
"Well I just saw Jerry running down the hall shouting his so called 'Columbian war chant' with Eddie hot on his tail. Apparently he must have done something really bad to have Eddie run after him like that."
"And you seem to be in an extra cheery mood today." He says happily.
"Ya I know, it's just that the weather is so nice and air just seems cleaner today, I don't know, it looks like nothing could go wrong today, right?" he nods and we start walking.
We turned round the corner while making small talk when suddenly Milton gives a small yelp and was out of sight, I was about to look around when I felt someone jerk my arm really hard. I turned around ready to beat the crap out of my 'assailant', but two familiar faces came into view.
"Jerry, Eddie you two better have a good reason to almost pull my arm out of my shoulder!" I say harshly, "oh and it would do you good to apologize too" I add while rubbing my shoulder.
"No time, you two have got to check this out!" Jerry says and Eddie nods his head vigorously. I look at Milton with a questioning look. He thinks about it for a second and then nods his head, "we still have 15 minutes to kill."
I sigh and reluctantly peek round the corner. At first I don't see anything unusual, "what's there to see? I mean the hallway is just the way it always is." I say in a bored tone.
"Don't you see those two people over there by the lockers doing something different?" Eddie asks.
I take another look, "they're making out, that's not something different." I say still bored and slightly annoyed.
"Kim, you might want to take a closer look and see who they are" Milton says in a shocked and slightly worried tone.
"Milton, there's no need to do that it's Donna making out with a random guy, again" I say as a matter of fact.
"That's no random guy Kim, look closer" says Jerry, annoyed by my obliviousness.
I do as he says and peer closer, squinting my eyes and gasp, "th-that's Jack" I say shocked.
"Yup, he's been working on her for the past ten minutes" says Jerry.
"More like swallowing her" says Eddie.
I couldn't comprehend what was happening, so I started to walk away trying to clear my head. I can't believe that of all the random guys to be kissing that rude slut Donna, it's JACK FREAKING BREWER. Even after all the times I've told him how much I despise her and provided essay-like supportive evidence, he does THIS. Well, its his choice, a bad one at that, so why should I care? Oh who am I kidding? So much for my good mood.
The bell rings shaking me out of my thoughts- no wait Milton's literally shaking me.
"Kim, I know this dampened your mood but come on we'd better get to class." Milton says
"Are you implying that I like Jack?" I say incredulously. He shrugged,
"I'm not implying, it's very obvious you two like each other".
"Oh and kissing Donna, my nemesis, proves that he's SO head over heels for me" I say sarcastically.
"Maybe he doesn't, so what? When he realizes what a freak she is, he'll dump her barely covered ass" he says, emitting a chuckle from me.
"Whatever, I just hope that he comes to his senses" I say sadly. "And when I asked if nothing could go wrong it wasn't a challenge, it was a rhetorical question!"
Milton gives a small laugh and pulls me to homeroom. I take my seat at the back with Jerry to my left and Eddie on my right while Milton sits in the first row. Jack enters the class, hand in hand with Donna just before the bell rings and they take their seats in the back slightly away from us. Wow, Jack didn't even acknowledge any of us, RUDE MUCH?! Mr Smith enters the class and starts teaching, more like scribbling on the board. I glance around the class as his lesson was boring me to death and see that Jack and Donna are making out… again. I feel the anger and sadness rise up in me causing me to grip my pencil tighter, until my knuckles turn white.
The sharp snap of the pencil causes Jerry and Eddie to look at me.
"Kim! That was my pencil." Jerry whines "well, since I don't need or use it, I don't care anymore".
"Are you okay Kim?" Eddie asks. I shake my head and jab the broken pencil in Jack and Donna's direction.
Eddie and Jerry sigh and give me a sympathetic look. "I'm so sorry Kim, here let me do something to stop them" Jerry says.
"Yes please, anything to stop that horrible thing!" I say irritably. Jerry signals Eddie to give him some paper and then he chews some of it and launches it through a straw, hitting perfectly at Jack's neck. That immediately caught Jack's attention and we turned back around and tried to suppress our laughter as he glared around the classroom to catch the culprit.
The bell rings and we empty out the classroom. "Remember to hand in your essay about recent events" Mr Smith says. I take out my binder and give it to him while Jerry hands him a newspaper.
"Mr Martinez, I asked you to hand in an essay about recent events and not a newspaper" he says annoyed.
"What could be more recent than today's newspaper?" Jerry says confused. I could hear Eddie snicker as me and Milton tried to contain ourselves too.
"Argh, do you know what does that mean?" He asks.
"An F?" Jerry says. "Ah, that is one question that you always get it right" he says sarcastically, I try not to laugh. "Oh and Jerry?"
"Yes?"
"I hate you"
"I know… and is that a booger hanging from your nose?" Jerry says disgusted as he peers closer to his face.
Mr Smith is now furious, "GET OUT, NOW!" he shouts. We immediately run out of the classroom, me completely forgetting about the whole 'Jack Fiasco' momentarily until... there they were making out in the hallway, AGAIN. JEEZ! Don't they need to breathe or something, I mean that's like the hundredth time. I think that Donna is doing that on purpose, just to get on my nerves. I groan and put my face in my hands, Milton pats my back in effort to comfort me.
"It's ok Kim, just you wait" he says reassuringly. I nod and continue to walk to my next lesson. The day drags on slowly with Donna occasionally whispering mean things in my ear and making out with Jack at every opportunity possible, just to rub it in. Well, Jack did try to talk to us but Donna, being the snob she is, picked that exact moment to barge in and full-on make out with him. I clenched my fists about to beat the shit out of Donna, when Milton grabbed my arm and led me away to join the guys.
When the bell signalled the end of the day, I rush out of school and head to the dojo to let off some steam. Upon entering the dojo I change into a tank top and some sweatpants and start beating each dummy mercilessly pretending it to be Donna. The guys, excluding Jack, arrive shortly after.
"Hey Kim" they chorus together. I wave to them dismissively and continue to massacre the dummy.
"Good job Kim, I like your form so keep it up" Rudy says behind me.
"M'kay" I say calmly trying not to snap at him.
"Is something wrong?" Rudy asks.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm just stressed" I say.
"Ok, if you need anything or someone to talk to, I'll be right in my office" he says kindly.
"Thanks Rudy, I can always count on you" I say gratefully.
Jack comes in the dojo looking bubbly and hand in hand with Donna, who looks like she came out of a stripper club. "Hey guys, this is-"
"Donna, we know" we all say annoyed. Jack looks taken aback by our tone and Donna scowls at us.
"Ok… and she's my-"
"Girlfriend, we know" I say for everyone and roll my eyes as she shoots me a glare which I don't hesitate to return.
"Ok babe, I'll see y-"Jack starts but is cut off by Donna kissing him. We all share a disgusted look and clear our throats very loudly. They pull away and look at us.
"Do you mind, we are having a lesson here" Rudy says annoyed as he gestures to us, when he turns back, they are kissing again.
"Guys, seriously stop it!" I snap at them and they pull away, hopefully long enough to pay attention this time.
"See you babe. I'll miss you" Jack says lovingly.
"I'll miss you too and keep those lips warm, Jackie" she says seductively and leaves not before pecking his lips once again.
"Will do" He says.
"Wow Jack, you scored big time by dating Donna!" Jerry says and then woos. I glare at him and he shuts up.
"And he seems to can't stop swallowing her" I mutter as I cross my arms.
"Kim, I'm sorry but Donna is smoking hot and by the way, she was the one to ask me out" he says.
"You're right, she is hot" I say and he smiles at me.
"At night… miles away… behind a wall… in a cave… deep underground… to a blind person" I say and the guys burst out laughing while Jack frowns at me and walks into the boys changing room. I can't help but let out a chuckle at his childish expression.
"Hey you guys want to head to captain corndog?" I ask, they nod and we gather our things and we leave.
"I loved your remark back there Kim, way to shut him up!" Eddie says and we high five. We are at captain corndog when the waitress comes up to us for our order.
"Can I have Coke?" I ask.
"Is Pepsi okay?" she asks in her nauseating voice reminding me of Donna.
"Is monopoly money okay?" I snap at her. Jerry and Eddie snicker while Milton tries to calm me down.
"Jeez girl, I was just asking. I'll get you some Coke" she says frightened and scurries away.
"Kim, you have to let it go. I promise you that once Jack finds out what a bitch Donna is he'll come crawling back to you." Eddie assures me.
For a week I try my best to ignore Jack, but he is one persistent kid. The next day is Saturday, which means morning practice at the dojo. Argh... Jack is gonna try to talk to me again. As expected, Jack tries to talk to me again, but as usual I ignore him.
"Kim will you stop ignoring me!" he says frustrated. In answer to his question I just shake my head and continue ignoring him, but that doesn't stop him.
"Hey guys, practice is over so you can go now!" Rudy asks us excitedly, hurrying us out of the dojo.
"Uh Rudy? Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of us?" I ask suspiciously.
"Oh nothing, It's certainly not because I'm having some kitty party with old ladies and delicious scones and prune juice, no no no..." he murmurs under his breath and laughs in a high-pitched voice. Once we are all out, he slams the door and draws the blinds.
I start heading home, giggling how weird Rudy can be sometimes when I hear someone calling my name.
Jack.
ARGH! Doesn't he know when to back off? He's already hurt me enough by dating Donna and now he wants to talk to me. Doesn't he see that looking at him makes my pain worse and more unbearable.
"Look Kim, let me explain" he huffs as he tries to catch up to me. I turn around angrily,
"Explain what jack? There is nothing left for you to explain. You're dating that bitch Donna even though I told you how much I hate her and what a slut she is, but no, but you go on date her. End of story." I say and continue marching home.
"Donna is not a bitch or a slut because she has changed for the better. She is trying to turn over a new leaf. Yesterday, I saw her donate $5 to the old lady outside Falafel Phil's who she used to throw stones at. Please just give her another chance" he says in a pleading tone.
I sigh, who knows maybe Donna is trying to change, but then again, it's donna we're talking about. But, If Jack truly thinks she has changed, then I trust him because he is my best friend.
"Fine I'll give her a chance, just one and if I find her doing something mean again I'll beat her senseless, got it?" I say giving in.
"I knew you would see it my way" he says happily and opens his arms. I roll my eyes playfully and walk up to hug him. I breathe in his scent as he nuzzles his head in my hair.
"I'm sorry Kim" he whispers in my ear sending shivers down my spine.
"I'm sorry too Jack" I say as we pull away.
"What are you sorry about? I'm the one who should be sorry and now I am" he says jokingly.
"I'm sorry for not listening to you earlier then we wouldn't have had to go through this week without talking" I say.
"Ya, you put us through so much" he says melodramatically. I roll my eyes playfully and hit him on his arm.
"OW! Okay I deserved that" he says, I laugh and we continue walking home since we live quite close to each other.
"Jerry got another detention today" he says.
"What was for this time?" I ask.
"Well Mr John said that whoever answers his next question can go home so Jerry threw an umbrella at his head and when Mr John asked who did that, Jerry was like 'ME! I did it! Now I can go home, see ya later suckers!' and that did not end well for him" he says laughing.
I start laughing, Jerry can is so stupid at times, and then I unexpectedly snort making me turn red. That makes Jack laugh harder.
"Shut up Jack! It's not funny!" I shout at him and try not to laugh myself, but can't help it and burst out laughing again, his laughter is so contagious. Slowly but surely our laughter dies down I realize that we have stopped in front of my house. Our gazes lock and I find myself lost in his chocolate brown eyes, they send a warm and fuzzy feeling throughout my whole body. I see something in his eyes, an emotion I cannot place. I want to stop the staring contest and look away but it's like something is holding me in place. He glances down at my lips causing my breathing to quicken and make my heart to hammer inside my ribcage.
Soon enough he starts to lean in, I find myself leaning in as well, slowly his faces inches towards me and I can feel his hot minty breath on my face. Pull away Kim, before this ruins your friendship! This will not ruin it, in fact, it will make it stronger. Fine, but what about Jack's girlfriend, Donna? I freeze; it's true that this will jeopardize his relationship and it will allow Donna to blame me and label me as the girl who stole her boyfriend. Without thinking, I push Jack away just before our lips met.
"I have to go" I quickly say, my cheeks burning and run into my house shutting the door behind me. Just before I left I managed to catch the disappointed look in his eyes. I can't believe we almost kissed. Does that mean he likes me back? I hope so, but something stands in our way, and that is Donna stinkin' Tobin.
I dread going to school on Monday because things are going to be awkward with Jack, but instead I see him arguing with Donna.
"What's up with them?" I ask Milton. He laughs and happily says "They are breaking up!"
"Why" I ask already knowing the answer.
"Well Jack found Donna and Brad making out in the janitor's closet and now she is trying to get back in his pants- oh look here comes Jack now. I'll leave you two alone" he smirks and walks away. I wanted to protest but he was already gone.
"You were right Kim, she is all those things you called her. I guess some people never change, so go ahead rub it in my face" he says depressed. I wanted to do that so bad but being a kind and good-hearted friend I am, I just hug him tightly.
"Jack as much as rubbing it in would be fun, I won't do it… yet" I say jokingly
He chuckles then his face grows serious, I was about to ask him what's wrong he suddenly drags me into the janitor's closet.
"Kim, I've been thinking about yesterday" he says in a serious tone and I blush.
"Look Jack, if you don't like me I'm fine with it" I say
"Kim you're right I don't like you" he says and I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces
"I love you" he whispers. I'm shocked at first and then I squeal with glee and hug him.
"I love you too" I say softly. He snakes his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck and we inch closer until our lips meet. I could feel sparks erupting everywhere, the kiss is soft and passionate. When we pull away, I see the same emotion in his eyes again but this time I know what it is. Love.
"You have no idea how much I wanted to do that" he says. I giggle and he swoops in for another kiss, this one starting out sweet and gentle but deepens as he pulls us closer, fully pressing us together, making me smile into the kiss. We pull away as the bell rings, startling the both of us.
"So… Kim, would you do the honour of being my girlfriend?" he says in a British accent. I giggle,
"Of course Jack, I'll be honoured" I attempt to say in a British accent as well. He laughs,
"Wonderful! Oh but Kim?" he says
"Yeah?" I respond
"Don't speak in a British accent, you can't do it" he laughs, earning a smack from me.
"Whatever Jack! Oh, I almost forgot!" I exclaim.
"What?" he says
"To rub it in your face! I told you so, I told you so!" I say with a smug smirk.
So… did you guys like it? Please tell me in a review. Stay Awesome :D
