Hey Everyone! Tinypoomps here... yea, no questions about the name... but ANYWAYS I'm not NEW to fanfiction, but this is my first story that I'm uploading. Hopefully it will turn out ok at least. This will be a multi chapter fanfic, and I have the stories written down, so I will update often. I hope that you guys enjoy this, because it takes a lot of time and effort. But let me stop babbling... Yes this is a KICK fanfic btw. And also, this is a filler chapter... sorry. But have no fear, please keep reading! Ok, so here is chapter one of Not What It Seems!

Chapter one: Leaving

"Kimmy! I need hep in the kitchen!

"Coming mom!" I yelled.

My name is Kimberly Crawford. Who was calling me, you ask? That was my mother. Her name is Gabrielle Crawford, but her friends call her Gabby. Just to let you know, I live with my mom and dad. My dad's name is Robert Crawford, but he prefers being called Robby.

"Yes mom?" I asked, approaching the kitchen.

"Kim, get the pie out of the oven and put it on the table with the turkey, chicken, and mac-and-cheese," my mom ordered.

"Mom, I'm not an octopus!"

"Sorry Kimmy, but please?"

"Okay, okay..."

Why all the food? Well, we're having a going away party for me and we're inviting guests. I'm going to a boarding school, Cali Performing Arts (cali for California). It may not sound like much, but I received a full scholarship to the school for my musical abilities and singing. It's going to be amazing.

Ring, Ring

"Hello?" answered my dad. "Mhmm, yep, ok sure thing." I heard him saying. "Gabby, the guests have arrived!"

"Great! Let them in!" exclaimed my mother.

The guests consisted of my best friend Rebecca and her parents, some of my other school friends like Brady and Trixie, my aunt who lives right down the road, and some close neighbors.

"Welcome everybody! Have a seat!" my mother joyfully said. Honestly, how much happy can be in one person...?

Everybody said hello and mingled until all the food was ready. Then we all sat around the table.

"I would like to make a toast," my father said while beginning to stand up. "On behalf of everyone sitting here, I wish the best of luck to my daughter, Kimberly Anne Crawford. Hopefully she will enjoy herself and discover many new things. We will miss her deeply." I saw a single tear fall from my father's eye. He sat back down and eating took place. When everyone was done with their meals, including dessert, it was time for good-byes.

"Oh Kimmy-Wimmy, promise me you'll be safe!" my aunt pleaded while pinching my cheeks.

"I promise aunty," I said. I gave her a hug and she kissed my cheek.

Next was Brady and Trixie.

"Hey Kim, have fun out there. I'll miss you," said Trixie.

"Yea, and kick-butt if anyone pisses you off!" said Brady.

I gave them both hugs.

"Kim," said Rebecca.

"Yes Becca (nickname)?"

"You'll always be my best friend. No matter what. Got that?" she questioned in a stern voice.

"Of course Becca." I said. Becca hugged me, and for some reason, we couldn't help but cry.

"I'll *sniff* miss *sniff* you *sniff* so much *sniff* Kim!" cried Rebecca.

"Me *sniff* too! *sniff*" I cried. We were hugging for what seemed like forever, but it was actually three minutes. My pink tank-top was soaked with Rebecca's tears. Rebecca was the last one to hug me and then everybody left. My mom came towards me.

"Well Kimmy, tomorrow's a big day. Better get some rest."

Finally! Chapter one complete! If you didn't notice, this chapter was in Kim's pov. And this goes for every chapter after this: Italics means conscience. Unless I say otherwise. I did put other characters in this chapter too, but they arent that important. But don't forget them, cuz they will be back! I just spilled a little there, oops. But anywho um yes this chapter was a filler, and the next chapter will be too. But have no fear, KICK will come in chapter three.

Review please!
