Kim's POV

I was so happy that Jack and I are together again. Every time I kiss him, I feel safe and I know that he loves me back. But tomorrow is the 1st day of 10th grade and there will be new girls, and new drama.

Well it's 9:30 and I have nothing to do. I'll go to the dojo early for our 10:30 practice. So I got out of bed and looked at the picture of Jack and I kissing (Jerry took it) on my night table. He's so hot!

By 9:45 I was out the door and on my way to the dojo. I was the only one there but Rudy was probably in his office. So I knocked on it and told him I was here, "Rudy are you in there? It's Kim, I came early for practice."

"Alright you can practice until everyone gets here." Rudy said through the door. So I got changed and started to kick dummies until Jerry walked in at 10:20.

"Hey Jerry." I said. I walked over to him.

"Hey Kim. One sec I just got to change, then you can flip me on the ground." I laughed. That was actually funny. Which was unusual because he rarely ever says something funny.

As I turned back around I stumbled on some Bo staffs, when Jerry suddenly caught me. He was holding me around my back and I was holding his arms. I saw a gleam in his eyes. What was he thinking about? I hoped Jack would see this because he might think something was...'going on' between Jerry and I.

If I wasn't dating Jack...would I be dating Jerry? Nah! That's crazy.

"Jerry? Jerry can you let go of me now?" I asked him.

"Huh what? Oh yeah. Sorry yo." He laughed nervously.

"And thanks." I said after he finally let me go.

"No problem."

When Jerry went into the boys locker room, Jack appeared.

"Hey babe!" Jack said as he turned me around and kissed me. We kissed for a long time. His hand was on my cheek and my hands were on his arms.

"Get a room!" Jerry yelled at us.

"Shut up! Kim you want to flip him?" Jack asked me

"I always do!" I responded.

When I flipped him, and he was on the floor, I saw that gleam in his eye again. What was that all about?

Then Milton and Eddie walked in.

"Come on, get up. Time to spar. Jack with Kim, Jerry with Milton, Eddie, you spar winner." Rudy said as he came out of his office.

I started to spar with Jack. I threw a punch and he blocked it, then he kicked me in my side. I held my hands at the spot he kicked and pretended that it hurt.

"Kim are you ok?" Jack asked me.

"Ow-I..." When he came close I flipped him and he landed on his back, but he took me down with him.

"Ah. The classic 'making your boyfriend worried' move." He laughed. He kissed me again on the lips, softly, but with care.

"Holy Christmas nuts, I beat Jerry!" Milton shouted while jumping up and down. Something must really be going on with him because Jerry doesn't lose to Milton very often. Or ever.

"Jerry can I see you for a second in my office?"

"Yeah sure, Rudy." Said Jerry.

Maybe I'll ask him what's wrong later. So Jack and I got up and started sparring for real this time while Eddie and Milton were sparring. Soon Jerry came out of Rudy's office and went into the changing room. He then quickly sprinted out of the dojo and looked at me right before he left.

I wonder what happened in Rudy's office.

It was about 12:00 and we were all getting pretty hungry.

"Guys, why don't we eat at Falafel Phil's? It's around lunch time anyway." Jack said to the group.

"Sounds good!" I said. And we were all in the restaurant within a couple minutes.

"So what do you think was going on with Jerry?" I asked everybody.

"I'm not sure. Probably Jerry being Jerry." Eddie said not sounding concerned at all. There probably want anything to worry about.

At about 1:00, Eddie and Milton went home and I went over to Jack's house.

"Want to to go in the pool?" Jack asked me with a grin. We were in front of his house, but there is a gate leading to his backyard. It was only the beginning of September and it was still warm. But I didnt have a bathing suit with me. Why would I?

"I'd love to, but I don't have a bathing suit." I told him.

"Well that's ok. We can both just go in with our clothes on..." He was giving one of his trouble grins. Which means he was going to do something that will piss me off.

He then ran over to me and picked me and threw me over his shoulder. He opened the gate and ran to his back yard.

"JACKSON! Put me down now!" I yelled at him.

"No way! This is too much fun, Kimmy!" He said.

We both started laughing and I was still trying to get out of his grip. He then let me loose a little and then I was in his arms bridal style right in front of the pool. I kicked off my black flats that I was wearing.

"I love you Kim." He told me

"I love you too Jack." And I kissed him. He then broke the kiss and then threw me in the pool.

I yelled as I hit the water. Lucky for him and unlucky for me, I was wearing a white shirt. Also jean shorts. Luckily I took off my shoes.

He laughed as I came to the surface. My shirt was totally see-through.

"See what you do Jack!" I yelled while laughing. He took off his shoes and did a cannon ball into the water. I covered my face as the water splashed onto me.

When he surfaced, I didn't hear him behind me, and he grabbed my waist and pulled me under the water.

We could both open our eyes under water. He took my hands and intertwined then with his. He pulled me close. I couldn't hold my breath much longer so I motioned my head to let him know I needed air.

We both came up.

"You know your shirt is see-through, right?" He asked me.

"well you don't mind, do you?" I said smiling.

He smiled and kissed me again, his hands on my lower back, mine around his neck. This kiss felt weird. I don't know why...it just did.

I was thinking about where Jerry was. He never came back to the dojo. I hope he's ok.

Whoa. Ever since I've been going out with Jack, I've turned a bit softer. I don't hit the guys that much anymore and I don't flip Jerry as hard now. He even seems to enjoy it.

"Kim are you ok?" Jack asked me.

"Yeah sorry. I was just...thinking about stuff."

"Come on, let's get out and warm up." Jack said

"Ok." He got out of the pool and helped me get out also. Then we went inside his house and had hot chocolate and watch a movie. I was still curious about Jerry...

LATER AT THE DOJO

After I left Jack's house, we had a practice at the dojo again at 7:00. So I went home and got ready.

When I walked in, Jerry was talking to a girl I had never seen before. He was probably hitting on her. Poor girl.

"Hey Jerry...who's this?" I asked.

"Oh hey. Kim this is Cami, Cami this is Kim. She's joining our dojo starting tomorrow."

"Another girl in the dojo! YES!" I shouted. "And nice to meet you! You just moved here I'm guessing?"

"Yep an I start high school tomorrow." Cami said.

"Let me get changed and I'll be right out." I said as I ran into the changing room. She was pretty. She had bright blue eyes. I hoped Jack wouldn't start liking her... but she doesn't seem like the person to steal someone's boyfriend. She seems really nice, actually. And finally there is a girl in the dojo!

After practice, Jack walked me home and we kissed goodnight. The kiss wasn't weird this time. Yay!
