Jack didn't know what he was doing. The new girl was awkward and quiet and… really pretty. So why was he talking to her? He hadn't meant to walk over to her, but somehow he had. There was no doubt, she was beautiful. Deep brown eyes trimmed by inch long lashes, long dirty blonde hair, and the long, muscular legs that came with years of martial arts. He realized too late that he'd been standing there for almost a minute just staring. "Um, do you need something?" Kim asked, tilting her head like a confused puppy. "Oh, no, I mean… Okay I'm Jack. I just wanted to say hi and ask if you needed someone to show you around Seaford." She smiled shyly, not showing any teeth, but he still felt proud that he was the one who had caused that smile. "Actually, I was wondering if there were any dojos in the area. I heard that you and some of the other guys at this school go to Billy Wazilly's dojo." Kim tucked a stray strand of blonde hair behind her ear. She wasn't being an ignoramus on purpose; she honestly didn't know that that wasn't the name of the dojo. Jack chuckled a bit at Kim's mix up, "Bobby Wasabi's, and I can take you there after school. There's an awesome falafel place across the courtyard from it, maybe we could grab a bite to eat?" He didn't realize what he'd asked until she answered. "Cool, it's a date." She then proceeded to grab her books and head to class. "Nice job, Jack. Got yourself a date with the new girl!" Jerry said, slapping Jack on the back. "I…I…I…I didn't mean to ask her out, I was j…just trying to b…be helpful!"
"So you don't like her? 'Cause if you don't then I'm going to ask her out myself." Now Jack wasn't sure how to answer.
Jack Brewer had asked her out. That was a fact that was still sinking in as Kim Crawford entered the science class that had taken her forever to find. He was cute; dark hair, eyes and skin all coming together in the muscular five eight-ish frame of Jack. The problem: he was popular, and she, quite frankly, was awkward. One of the few friends she'd managed to make came over and gave Kim a disbelieving look. "You've been her less than a week and you already managed to get a date with Jack?" Julie said; she didn't like Jack, to clarify, she was just a tiny bit baffled by Kim's ability to get a date with THE boy at Seaford High. The one all, or almost all, the girls wanted and all the guys wanted to be. "Um, Julie, can we try and keep that quiet? I'm not sure it's even a DATE date."
"You don't know much about high school, do you? By now everyone already knows. Plus, he already admitted he likes you."
"When? I'm pretty sure that didn't come up in our conversation…" Kim was on the edge of a panic attack now; she liked everything organized and tidy and this, well this was far from tidy.
"I don't know. All I know is Jerry told Milton that Jack told him he liked you." Julie shrugged awkwardly, unused to being the one who knew the tidbits of gossip.
"Don't tell anyone, though I'm sure they have their various theories, but I kinda like Jack."
