Kim POV

"Ah-ha." I finish doing my spinning back kick on the dummy.

"Nice job Kim." Milton says as he starts to pick the dummy up.

"Thanks I've been practicing." I pant as I go to the bench and take a drink of water.

Just then Jack and Lindsey walk in his arm around her waist. Ugh they just started dating and everyone secretly hates them together but we say nothing.

"Hey guys." Jack calls and walks over to his locker.

"Milton. Kim." Lindsey sneers.

Milton walks over and sits next to me. "Wanna get out of here before they start getting mushy."

"I thought you would never ask." I joke and we get up and walk to Phil's.

When we reach Phil's we run into Carson.

"Oh hey Carson." I say and sit next to him in the booth.

"Hey Kim, Milton. Kim you know that ball coming up for the High School that won that award for something. I was wondering if you would want to go with me?"

"Yeah sounds good. Milton do you and Julie want to come with us?" I ask.

"Yeah we can all go together. We could rent a limo." Carson suggests.

"Great idea Carson!" Milton exclaims.

"Pick you up at 7 Kim?"

I give my weird laugh. "Sure." I say and twirl my hair as he walks off.

"You like him." Milton teases as our food comes.

"I do not. He is just a friend." I counter.

"Yeah right. You used to look at Jack like that and now you look at Carson like that. Wait, you like Carson because he is like Jack!"

"Pfff, what? Your funny." I struggle out.

"Ok Kim. I got it now." He chuckles and lays back into the booth.

"Got what?"

"You really like Jack but since he is dating Lindsey you are setting your eyes on someone who is like Jack." Milton explains.

I glare at him. He got me and I didn't even know that was what I was doing until he told me.

"Ok so maybe a little." I give in.

"Don't worry your secret is safe we me."

"Thanks Milton." I smile and we get up to go to practice.

When we walk in Jack and Lindsey are holding each other and rubbing noses.

I cough. "Oh hey Kim, Milton. You ready for practice?"

"Um yeah. I'll go get the bow staffs." I say and walk over.

"Oh hey Kim! We were wondering if you would like to come with us to the dance like as a group. Milton and Julie could come too." He offers as he helps me with the bow staffs.

"Oh Jack thanks but I am going with Carson and he is taking Milton and Julie with us."

"Carson? That jerk? Why would you be going with him?" he asks his mood quickly changing.

"Because he asked me and maybe I like him." I challenge. "Got a problem with it Jack?"

"No." he mumbles and walks off taking the bow staffs.
