Chapter 2: The Note

Kim's POV

A lot of words came up in my mind, but none of them were exactly nice. I can't believe Jack did this! I had to apologize to Carson and take him home. A single tear slid down my face. Why did he do that to Carson? All of a sudden a thought crossed my mind, a foreign scenario. "Does he like me?" I wondered.

"Does who like you, Kim?" I turned around, only to find Milton staring at me with a strange expression on his face. Did I say that aloud? I blushed, then replied, "No one Milton, just thinking."

I could almost see that smart brain of his calculating what was going on, but before he could, I ran out. I blindly walked around the mall, until, not looking where I was going, crashed into someone. "Oh, I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where-" I finally looked up, and saw Frank, our enemy from the Black Dragons. I frowned. "On second thought, never mind."

To my surprise, he laughed. "Oh Kim, you crack me up darling." He flashed a smile that was clearly fake, then said, "Well, gotta go! Hope Carson feels better!"

I stood there in shock, until I took in when he said. He did not just call me darling. On second thought, forget about that. How did he know that Jack flipped Carson? I turned to ask him, but he was long gone.

Jack's POV

As soon as I got home, I collapsed on the couch, guilt rushing over me. God, why didn't I tell Kim I liked her? I am such a chicken! I groaned, then felt around for the remote with my eyes closed. However, my eyes flew open when my hands touched hair. Standing over me was my five year old sister, Angel. She was smiling a toothy grin at me, making it impossible to not smile back. "Hi big brotha!"

I flashed grin, and said, "Well hello, Angel, how was your day?"

"Well, we played in the sandbox, but some meanie came and pushed me to the ground."

I sat up, alarmed. "What did you do?"

Angel smiled her devious grin. "I flipped him using the pose you practice in your room."

"Did you hurt him?"

"Nope. He just got right back up and left me alone."

I smiled again. "That's my little sis!" she giggled.

All of a sudden the doorbell rang, causing us to jump. I got off the couch and walked to the front door, but when I opened it, there was nothing there but a small package. I picked it up and opened it. It contained two things. One was a note:

Jack-

We know you. You always protect your friends, not matter what. Now listen closely. Do as we say, or Kim will be hurt more than you could ever imagine. Lose your next tournament, and she will stay safe. Pretend to break a limb, or get sick, we don't care. Just do it.

I then lifted up the note and gasped. It was Kim's charm bracelet. And it was covered in blood.
