"Jack!" I called as I ran to catch up with him in the courtyard outside falaphel phils.

"Hey beautiful," he greeted me with a kiss to the forehead. I tried to contain my excitement as he slung his arm around my shoulder and we waltzed into the dojo.

Since we started dating, I learned a couple things about jack. The first is that he's not exactly the physical type, so that peck on the forehead was definitely a surprise.

"Looks like we're early," Jack says as I unpack my gear into the empty dojo.

"Would you maybe want to do something tonight?" I ask nervously, mostly because jack is always the one that plans our dates, and I've never really been the one to bring up time together.

"My shows coming on… but I think I can give up some TV time for you," he jokes. "Sure. What do you have in mind?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe we could take a walk through that new nature park? I hear it's beautiful at night." I suggest, hoping he won't turn me down; I know nature walks aren't really his thing.

"Kim! It's frank! He wants to see you- like, NOW." Milton says as he runs in, a terrified jerry following close behind.

"He doesn't seem too happy, Kim!" Jerry squeals. I began to walk outside the dojo to where I see Frank standing when Jack catches my arm.

"I'll come with you,"

"Jack, I can handle myself. Besides, it's just frank. Aren't you two buddies now or something?" I say as I shake him away and push outside.

"Kim," frank greets me with the same sly grin and ugly laugh.

"Frank." I say spitefully. "What do you want?"

"I see you and Jack are pretty close lately?" he taunts.

"Listen frank; if you just came out here to make fun, you're wasting my time." I pronounce as I turn around to head back inside, but frank catches my arm and I give out a surprised yelp. I see jack tense up from inside the dojo, mistaking my sound for pain.

I whip around and come face to face with the curly haired no good. "I thought I'd give you a chance to apologize." He seethes.

"For what?" I ask angrily.

"Turning the whole school against me,"

"Everyone was already against you." I say as I roughly shrug my arm away and walk inside the dojo.

"You're making a mistake, Kim." Frank says calmly.

"No, frank; YOU'RE making a mistake by coming here! I'm not afraid of you." I yell as I slam the dojo doors with a satisfying "crack". I return to the dojo with confidence and sass in my walk. I can't believe frank came over just to interrogate me.

"What did he want, Kim?" Jack asks.

"He tried to threaten me. Said he wanted an apology,"

"I'm going to go ahead and guess you didn't give him one, did you?" Milton said.

"Not a chance."

I had just gotten a new blouse and was rocking my high heeled boots; I was ready for a carefree evening at the park with jack.

I calmly rang the doorbell and waited for Jack to open the door. He didn't. So I rang again. And again, and again. I had been waiting outside for almost thirty minutes when I thought about knocking, but quickly remembered how the last time I was there I had awoken his grumpy mother, who gets chronic migraines.

I called him on his cell sixteen times. No answer, not even once. I was just about to walk away, fuming, when I heard his door open. "Hey, Kim! I was just about to walk to your house. Your late- didn't you say seven?"

"Did you just say that I'm late? I've been standing here for the last half an hour!" I yell, as we start to walk away from his house.

"Didn't I tell you our doorbell doesn't work? Sorry Kim, I didn't mean to have you standing out here that long." He said, opening his arms out to give me a hug.

I stay there for a while, relieved he didn't bail on me. When I pull away, I didn't realize that Jacks necklace had caught on my hair, so when I pulled away it ripped it from his neck.

"Ow! Yep, that will definitely leave a mark…" Jack says, clutching his neck.

"aw, man. I'm so sorry Jack." I say as I reach down to pick up the broken necklace from the ground. I recognize it as the one Bobbi wasabi gave him. "I broke your necklace,"

"It's okay, it wasn't like it was one of a kind or anything." He says sarcastically. I notice he's still holding the side of his neck.

"Are you hurt?" I ask, placing my hand on top of his, trying to pry it from his neck.

"I'm fine, Kim." He mutters, trying to move away.

"Let me see, Jack. Please." I say softly. He reluctantly moves his hand and I gasp at the blood trickling down his neck from the cut I made.

"Jack! I ..I.." is the last thing I say before I pass out.
