As all the four teens stood in the Bobby Wasabi Dojo confused about Jack's actions, their Sensie Rudy walked in with his child like smile. Rudy looked around at the teens not noticing their dumbfounded faces and clapped,"Alright, everyone let's get to practice; do your stretches first!"
Milton, Jerry, and Eddie all walked into the boys' locker room following Rudy's orders, but they needed to get dressed first. Kim just walked over back onto the mat already in her practice clothes and started to stretch; while clearing her mind.
She then looked around noticing Rudy had gone into his office and could slightly hear him murmuring on the phone. The guys then walked out of the locker room in sweat pants and t-shirts and started to stretch along with Kim. Rudy then came out of his office and said, "Okay, sparring partners!" Umm...Kim he said as he pointed at the blonde, "Since Jack called in sick for today's practice you will spar with me."Uh...Eddie you w-" Rudy was then interrupted by Kim exclaiming, "What! But Jack was here before you walked in and was totally fine punching and kicking dummies and threatening to kill Eddie and Jerry. He can't be sick! He lied Rudy he broke the Wasabi Code!" she screamed this at Rudy and pointed her finger in his face. Rudy said annoyed, "Okay...Kim first please back off. Second, I have NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!" he said while raising his voice at the end.
Kim went back on the mat and opened her mouth to explain in more detail but was interrupted by Jerry. He explained irritably, "Look, Rudy the lovebirds got into a little heated fight about who's going with who to the Valentine's Day Dance Friday and Kim said she was going with Andy Forester. And Jack just stormed out not even bothering to pummel me and Eddie-
Milton interrupted as-a-matter-of -factly, "Eddie and I."
Jerry rolled his eyes while shaking Milton off with his hand while saying, "Yeah, same swag." Milton rolled his eyes. Jerry continued, "Anyway, Kim saying she was going to the thing with Andy Forester must have thrown him off. He's probably not in the best mood to practice karate."
Rudy said, "See Kim, Jack is sick."
Kim rolled her eyes throwing her arms up in exasperation, "Oh, really Rudy please tell me what's wrong with him?" she finished with sarcasm.
Rudy and the guys all gave each other knowing looks and laughed together, "He's love sick!"
Kim groaned, "Ugh...let's just get to practice !"
On that note the guys went to sparring, while Kim practiced techniques with Rudy. The only thing Kim knew doing that whole practice was she was definitely talking to Jack tomorrow no matter what.
At Seaford High School...
Jack was at his locker shuffling books of last night's homework inside, before homeroom. The brunette really didn't want to be at school at all for four good reasons:
1. Kim and Andy
2. Donna Tobin
3. The Guys
4. A Lab in Chemistry
Jack closed his locker shut and while zipping up his black Jansport backpack he noticed a presence of three boys circle him. He looked up to see Jerry, Eddie, and Milton giving me a look of suspicion. He thought, 'Great, my nightmare for today is coming true.' He rolled his eyes and stood tall as he flung his backpack over his shoulder and asked irritably, "What?"
Jerry asked, "Why did you skip practice...Jack?" Jack pushed through the circle not wanting to deal with the guys and their accusations and headed his way to homeroom. The brunette was suddenly stopped by none other than the gorgeous Donna Tobin herself. She flipped her hair and smirked at the brunette who was trying not to twitch nervously knowing what was coming at him. Donna flipped her long, luscious brown hair again and said loudly so everyone could hear,"So, Jack you want me to be your Valentine?" she pulled out the pink valentine heart that was folded into a card and held it up high in the air as if trying to tease a child to try and snatch it. Jack was tall enough to snatch the card but made no move what so ever.
Jack defended, "What! No! Donna let me explain-"
Donna snapped interrupting, "Explain what, exactly? This little card explains everything you have a thing for me. She then squinted at the card saying, "Oh, wait oops...I meant the hots." At those words Jack could feel himself blushing and close to sweating nervously as now a large crowd of high schoolers circled him and the cheerleader.
Jack shook his head and said, "Look Donna my friends thought it would be funny to pull something on me so they wrote that fake valentine card and they slid it into your locker signing my name as the person who gave it to you. I did no such thing though."
Donna laughed,"Good excuse, but I don't believe it. She then yelled, "Does anyone else?" referring to the high school students surrounding them. Some kids shook their heads and Jack could hear yells of no coming from different parts of the crowd.
The brunette threw his arms up in exasperation and out of the corner of his eye he caught Kim flirting with Andy over at the lockers. Jack quickly yelled not caring about interrupting them, "Hey, Kim tell, everyone how I didn't write that Valentine card for Donna Tobin!"
Kim who was distracted with Andy hadn't noticed what had been going on; finally looks around in confusion at the crowd of teenagers expecting an answer from her.
Kim not remembering what Jack just said to her asked with confusion in her voice, "What, Jack?"
Jack was about to speak up giving, the blonde an incredulous look, but Donna beat him to it. Donna laughed, "Just what I thought Anderson, you're such a little pathetic skater boy. She then walked up to Jack crumpling the card in her hand and tossing it over her shoulder saying, "Oh, and it's a no." with a flip of her long, luscious brown hair she left leaving the crowd of teens to depart with snickers and comments at Jack.
Jack shook his head in anger and stormed right over to the flirty Kim who still didn't seem to notice what just happened. He yelled pointing a finger in her face, "This is your fault, Kim!" Kim and Andy both stopped flirting and looked at Jack whose loving chocolate brown eyes were no longer filled with love but anger.
Kim looked at him incredulously and snapped, "Oh yeah, Jack it's my fault! Because I'm the one who had put that stupid valentines card in Donna's locker! It wasn't Eddie or Jerry or anyone else! It always is my fault isn't it?!"
The brunette shook his head in frustration and said, "Okay, it wasn't completely your fault but you were too busy flirting with your stupid boyfriend to defend your best friend! Jack then raised his voice at the end not caring anymore.
Kim snapped, "Well, sorry I'm trying to have a freakin life! It was an accident Jack!
Jack then crossed his arms over his chest and said, "So Andy was an accident?"
Kim looked at him in utter confusion and exclaimed, "How does this have anything to do with Andy!
Jack didn't answer he just looked her straight in the eye, but what surprised him was that it seemed in her eyes it really did seem like she cared and wanted to help him fix whatever this was. On the outside it didn't seem that way though. Jack just walked away in the direction toward homeroom.
Kim yelled angrily, "What! Anderson you don't walk away from me! Answer the question! It was too late, though Jack had already turned the corner of the hall. Andy then came up from behind Kim and asked, "What was that?"
Kim replied turning towards Andy, "Oh a nothing I'll work it out later."
Andy looked her in the eye while crossing his arms over his chest and said, "C'mon, Kim tell me what's up I heard my name in that conversation more than once."
The blonde sighed and said, "I don't know Andy but ever since yesterday I had mentioned to him I was going to the dance with you he's been acting weird."
Andy laughed at Kim.
Kim looked at him in confusion and asked, "What?"
Andy smiled at her and said, "It's called jealousy Kim. He likes you and is upset that you chose this hot guy over him."
Kim said in confusion, "Jack Anderson...jealous? But...he...
Andy finished, "likes me."
Kim repeated after Andy, "Likes me...weird..."
Andy laughed and said, "C'mon beautiful let's get to homeroom." he then took the blondes hand as they walked in the direction towards homeroom.
3rd Period English...
Jack ran into English class late. Everyone looked up at the skater boy who wasn't in a very good mood. Some kids snickered and made remarks quietly about early that the brunette was able to hear. He clenched his fists white as snow in anger. Kim watched as a fiery anger burned through his once loving brown eyes and gave him a look of pity wishing she had tried to defend him earlier. Ms. Cosmo the English teacher walked over towards the boy and asked, "Why, are you late Mr. Anderson?" Jack replied, "I was at my locker and the uh...bell rang." some snickers came from few kids throughout the classroom. Jack couldn't help but glare at the kids and then turned back towards his English teacher. She said, "You know that is not a good excuse, Mr. Anderson." Jack rolled his eyes saying, "I know Ms. Cosmo, and I apologize." She pointed her finger at him and snapped, "Not with the roll of your eyes now Mr. Anderson please read your homework to the class, if you even did it." she then went to sit at her desk. Jack plopped his backpack on top of his desk that was next to Kim's; while he ignored the looks coming from not only the blonde but the rest of his classmates, he shuffled through his bag and pulled out his homework. He then walked up in front of the classroom and read his homework which is suppose to be an essay about what he thinks of Valentine's Day:
"Some people can't wait for Valentine's Day to come, because of the dance or there boyfriend/girlfriend surprising them with gifts of love. Or some people hate Valentine's Day and see it as Single Awareness Day or in a shorter terms S.A.D. Well, I am neither one. I'm the person who literally wants to die every Valentines I have my personal reasons and trust me they are really good, but I'm not going to explain them to strangers that don't even care. So why should I? Valentine's Day is just another commercialized holiday that has taken away the idea of what love truly is."
Jack then looked up from his essay and looked right at Kim who was thinking deeply about his essay. He then turned towards Ms. Cosmo waiting for her to snap at him at how terrible it was. He was then surprised to get the opposite reaction. Ms. Cosmo smiled brightly and said, "Not what I was expecting from you Jack, but very good. You did bring up a good point do we really know what love truly is? Well, that's your next essay class and you will present this Friday on Valentine's Day. Now please Jack take your seat." Jack put his essay nicely on top of Ms. Cosmo's desk and took his seat next to Kim.
Kim then suddenly raised her hand.
Ms. Cosmo looked away from the computer and asked, "Yes, Ms. Crawford?'
Kim asked, "Can we have partners in this essay so we can see the different view points we have on what love truly is?
Ms. Cosmo put her finger to her chin thinking for a minute then a smile crossed over her face. She replied, "That is an excellent idea Ms. Crawford." The teenagers face lighted up in happiness to have partners. Ms. Cosmo continued, "But I will pick who's together.' The teenagers faces fell as they groaned.
Ms. Cosmo then said, "Okay partners, will be...Mr. Anderson with Ms. Crawford….and—
Jack exclaimed interrupting Ms. Cosmo, "What! NO! Kim…can't be my partner!"
Ms. Cosmo, Kim, and the rest of the class looked at the brunette in confusion of his sudden outburst.
Ms. Cosmo leaned back in her office chair crossing her arms over her chest saying, "Oh…why is that Mr. Anderson you have never had a problem with Ms. Crawford before?"
Jack said with no hesitation, "Well, I do okay."
Kim gave the brunette a shocked look not knowing what she had ever done to him.
Ms. Cosmo snapped, "Well, too bad Mr. Anderson you're going to be partners with your girlfriend!"
Kim gave the clueless English teacher a death glare while the rest of the class burst into fits of laughter.
Jack's fists clenched while, turning snow white accidentally breaking his pencil. He then stood up and walked out of the English classroom; without any hesitation, knowing if he had stayed in there any longer he would've soon lost his temper and would've done things he would regret later on.
The classroom turned silent hearing the door slam. Ms. Cosmo was in too much shock to even run after the brunette who had just stormed out in anger. Kim's eyes buzzed not knowing what to do, but her instincts told her to go after Jack and that's exactly what she did.
