Kim's P.O.V
I didn't see the point of going to school after that day but it was 6:30 and my alarm was beeping. I didn't want to see any of their faces. They had betrayed me. I was only gone for a month! I was there when nobody else was! How could they? I started to cry, I felt the warm tears go down my face. The dojo had always been my home, mine. But now it was Mika's. There was no two ways around it. My phone rang on my nightstand. I picked it up and the caller ID was Jerry. I answered not really caring. "What to you want?" I grumbled into the phone. "I just wanted to see if you were okay, well after you bolted from the dojo yesterday." Gosh, Jerry was starting to sound like Jack, being all nice and caring. But I wasn't going to fall for that. "Leave me alone, and go play with your new toy." I hung up. I really didn't give a damn how I looked today. I throgh on some Seaford sweatpants, black tee shirt, with some blue nikes. I brushed out my hair and put it into a ponytail. Who was I trying to impress?
Jerry's P.O.V
After Kim's outburst at the dojo yesterday, I was starting to get worried. I called Jack and everybody else, but no one picked up. I called Kim. She sounded like she had been crying, like a good friend, I wanted to make sure she was alright. I dressed in some dark jeans with a red shirt, and red Jordans. I headed out the door to Kim's house it was still early. I rang her doorbell. "Well, what a surprise!" Kim's mother said as she opened the door. "Kim's in her room, she said she wasn't feeling well." Kim sounded fine this morning. I walked up to her room and knocked when she didn't answer I opened the door. She was asleep. I sat on her bed and shook her. Her eyes fluttered open.
Kim's P.O.V
I awoke to a black haired boy sitting on my bed. Jerry. "What do you want?" I rolled over. He looked at me again. "What's wrong Kim?" Jerry said kindly. I rolled my eyes I didn't want his sympothy. He was my friend, I should be honest. "It's Mika." I looked at him. "Mika? What did she do?" I raised an eyebrow, like he didn't know. Wait... he probably didn't. I got up and got my backpack. "Lets go to school." He pointed at my outfit. "In that?" I nodded, "Who am I trying to impress?" I shrugged my shoulders and we left. At school, we went our seprate ways, but now I had to face Jack in my first class.
Jack's P.O.V
I was sitting in class waiting on Kim. I needed to apologize about Mika. She didn't show until ten minutes into class. She slid in her seat beside me. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed which she probably had. She wasn't wearing makeup and her hair was falling out of her side ponytail. I ripped out a piece of paper from my notebook and began writing.
'I'm sorry about Mika, we planned to tell you, before class yesterday, but I guess you had to find out the hard way.'
I passed the note over to her. She shoved it in her pocket. She was still mad. I knew she would look at it later, and give me a reply at lunch or our studies class.
Kim's P.O.V
Jack had the courage to pass me a note in class. He was probably apologizing, that's why I didn't read it. I knew he knew that I would read it later. When the bell rang, I went to the bathroom and read it. I laughed, yeah really. He is such a liar! When lunch came around I went to the bathroom and cried. In the next three classes I doodled in my notebook and drew. My last class was studies with Jack. Great. I sat beside him again. At the beginning of school we assigned our own seats. I didn't look at him once. But I could feel his eyes on me the whole time.
Jack's P.O.V
Kim wasn't at lunch. She didn't even look at me in class. I guess that means that she wasn't coming to practice today. The bell rang, she was the first one out of class. By the time, I got out of the class Kim was long gone. I felt really bad about what had happened but Kim was just going to have to get over it.
Jerry's P.O.V
At school I didn't talk to Kim at all, she seemed just as depressed as she was earlier. I walked to the dojo where everyone but Kim was practicing. Mika had her hair pulled up into a high ponytail with a lime green Bobby Wasabi shirt and black shorts. Jack had on a navy tee shirt with black basketball shorts. Eddie just had on his normal red shirt with black sweats. Milton had a white shirt with a chicken on it. Rudy came out of his office cheering. "Here are you permission slips." He handed them out to everyone. His eyes narrowed, "No Kim?" Jack shrugged, "She bolted out of class today, so I guess she's a no show." I lowered my head.
Kim's P.O.V
I can't believe I am running away from my fears. You know what no, I will show them!
No One's P.O.V
The door of the Bobby Wasabi dojo swung open and in walking Kimberly Ann Crawford. She was wearing her blond hair in a side ponytail with Seaford shorts and a white tank top. Everyone in the dojo stared. She walked up to Rudy and grabbed a permission slip. "Count me in."
