I stood there shock, I didn't move a muscle, I was frozen. Her boyfriend, her boyfriend, HER BOYFREIND! She gets a boyfriend and I didn't even meet him first to see if he was good enough. For I know he could be a killer, a child rapist, who knows it's a world of possibilities. All I know is that she trying to replace dad with a dochebag she just meet….. Well ok I just meet but that beside the point. I looked at my mom who stood there waiting on me to say something. I wanted to yell, scream anything and everything to tell me it was just a bad dream and I will wake in my bed and the first day of school starts the next morning. I pinch myself over and over again, why won't I wake up? I know it a nightmare I know mom will never consider dating a guy that we haven't discussed yet.

"Your what?" I said. I knew I had to come to reality sometime or another. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it. She was lost for words; she knew I was mad, angry, upset, betrayed. She knew she broke a promise, a pack we made long ago.

Flashback: February 21, 2007

I was sitting on the sofa too tired to anything; I couldn't eat, sleep, or think straight. The only word that was going through my head was: why? Why did it have to be him out of all people? There was a car wreck on the freeway which so happen to the exact freeway my dad went on for work. My mom tried to call him to tell him to be careful but he never answered. My mom finally stopped calling him and turned on the news, to see a one of the biggest car wreck in history. Then the phone ringed, mom rushed to it only to be sobbing afterwards. I rushed to her while she told me my dad have been in the wreck and died on impact. I broke down I was so close with my dad and now he was gone forever. My mom and I sat on the couch silently both of us in deep thought with watery eyes. She looked over at me and smile sadly silently asking I'm I okay while I nodded my head, I knew I had to be strong for her and me as well.

"What are we going to do" I asked

"I don't know I really don't know" she said shaking her head.

"Mom what if you find someone else?" I asked.

"What?"

"What if you move on one day he can't replace dad mom he just can't"

"Sweetie no one can replace your dad no one"

"But one day you will find someone else right? Well what if he not good enough for you… for us"

"Ok let's make a pack that if I meet someone I will tell you before anything get serious, or any titles are made deal?"

"Promise?" I asked.

"Pinky swear" she smiled and held up her pinky.

"Pinky swear" I looked my pinky with hers.

End of flashback: back to present time

"Honey I know what you're thinking I'm sorry it just… "She trailed off still not knowing what to say.

"How could you?" I said rather harshly then need to. I'm just hurt that she forgot the promise we made on that hurtful day. Mom looked down, I can tell she was hurt by my tone of voice but I was hurting more. She broke a pack on the most remember able days off all.

"Now son I don't think you should be talking to your mom like that" my mom's boyfriend said. I scoffed who does he is thinks he is telling me what to do? He doesn't even know me let alone control me.

"And who are you suppose be to my father" I said smartly while he looked a little taken back.

"Jack I know it a lot to come by, but can you give John a chance please?" mom pleaded while I was still glaring at John. My glare soften as I turned back to my mom. She had big puppy dog eyes that I know I can't say no to. I hate when my mother is upset.

"Ok I will try for you mom but it's going to take a lot to fully trust you again" she nodded sadly while I stalked up to John with determination in my eyes.

"If you hurt her in any way I will personally hurt you emotionally and physically, I'm a 3rd degree black belt and I'm not afraid to use it. Do you understand me?" he nodded his head quickly with wide eyes of fright while mother chuckled over this.

"Now if you excuse me I'm going to my room" I walked up stairs to my room. I laid on my bed with time to kill. I was bored oh what to do, what to do. I got up and when on my computer and when on Facebook. I was fooling around when I found Kim Facebook profile on Jerry's page. I immediately clicked on it. I saw a picture of Kim smiling into the camera her blonde hair was in pretty curls and her hazel doe eyes lit up with joy, she also had 100,000 friends how some on is popular. I looked at some of her pictures and saw some by herself, with a dog, some with the gang and family, and also some celebrities. I clicked on her info profile and looked at the description.

I got tired of checking her face book so I quickly sent her a friend request and went to laid down on my bed. I heard the door slam shut I really hope that was John leaving. I knew I told my mother I would give him a chance, but I got a gut feeling that I know I should not trust him. I looked over at the clock to see the time.

9:55

Wow I have been on Facebook for a really long time. I sighed before getting up and changing into my boxers and took my shirt of and got in bed. Right when I was about to slip in to darkness my computer chimed, I got up to go check it.

Kim Crawford has accepted your friend request.

I smiled and clicked 'ok' then went back to bed, I couldn't wait for tomorrow.

The next day I walk up to sun shine piercing threw my window. I rose up from by bed and with walked mindlessly in to the bathroom. I took a shower and changed into my clothes. I wore regular jeans, with tight bit not that tight white v neck shit with button on the top, the sleeves go to my elbow. I put on my black vans and walked downstairs. I saw my mom reading the paper and drinking coffee and my breakfast in front of a chair.

Good morning sweetie" she greeted looking up from the paper and smiling at me.

Moring mom" I smile back and sat down and began to eat breakfast.

"Oh before I forget I sent John to pick you up from school so you can have some male bonding time" she said. I frowned I wanted nothing to with John.

"Sorry, no can do" I said.

"Why not?" she frowned. I can tell she really wanted me to get to know him but I really don't.

"My friends and I are going to the mall dojo" I said quickly remembering what happen yesterday.

"Dojo?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah I'm going back into karate" I smiled at her.

"So you made friends?" she smiled back and change the topic.

"Yeah" I shrugged like it no big deal.

"Well I want to meet them what are their names?" She asked her eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

"There are Jerry, Milton, Eddie, Julie, Grace, Kelsey, and Kim" I smiled at the name of 'Kim'.

"Looks like someone has a crush tell me more about this 'Kim'" she leaned over the table looking at me.

"There is nothing to tell mom can we just get to school now?" I quickly change the subject.

She smiled and grabbed her purse and led me out the door. When we got there I quickly jumped out the car not wanting to hear her on any comment of earlier conversation… but must to my disliking she did.

I want you to bring your friends home after karate practice, I just have to meet them especially Kim" she said and drove off. I shook my head and continued to walk to the school building seeing jerry waiting on the steps for someone.

"Hey jerry, waiting for someone?" I asked as I walked up to him.

"Yeah just waiting on Kim to show up" he said. I instantly got jealous, are they dating or something?

"Are you and Kim dating "I asked trying to masked my jealously.

He stared at me for the longest time and bust out laughing. I really didn't see what was there to laugh about? It wasn't as Kim was ugly. She was far from ugly, so why laugh?

"m-e and k-Kim hahahaha" he got out between laughs. He finally clams down and wipes a tear from his eyes.

"Whoo that was funny, Kim is like my little sister not my girlfriend, Ew" he said. I sighed with relief.

"Wait, then why do all the guys glare at you when you're around her? I asked.

"Jack ,she hot, popular and famous do you really think that boys who like her is going to be happy that she won't give then the time of day but she talks to me" he said seriousness something I haven't seen on him before.

"Well…" I trailed off

"Yeah" he laughed as the same black range rover from yesterday pulled up. Jack and jerry face lit up knowing who was in that car. Kim stepped out dressed in a strapless up down dress with leather at the top. She had black wedges and studded jacket with heart necklace. Her honey blonde hair was in a fish tail braid and light natural makeup on.

"Hey guys" she said as she walked up to us smiling brightly.

"Hey Kim" we smiled back

"So where are the others?" she asked noticing their not there.

"I think Milton and Julie are in the library, Grace and Kelsey are at their lockers, and Eddie is probably in the cafeteria eating breakfast" Jerry explained.

"That sounds about right" Kim laughed and we walked into the building heading to our lockers. The only thing I hate about this school right now is that my locker is 4 down to Donna Tobin's locker. After yesterday's incident, I don't ever wanna see her again.

"Well hello Jackie-poo" I heard a voice say to the right to me. I turned to be come face to face with the one and only Donna Tobin.

"What do you want Donna?" I asked not wanna to be here anymore. Not to be mean or anything but she looks like she put spray paint make up on her face.

"Well I want you handsome thing" she said running her finger on my chest.

"Well I don't want you" I said taking her finger off of me and trying to walk away. Emphasizes on the trying.

"You can't walk away from me" she ran her hand on my arms.

"Donna I don't like you ok?" I tried getting away from her.

"Please everyone likes me" she rolled her eyes.

"Well I don't so good bye "I said trying to walk off….. Again.

"Wait a mint-" donna said before getting cut off.

"Donna wait did I say yesterday?" Kim's voice came in hearing

"N-nothing" Donna came wide eyed.

"Donna I know I said stay away from Jack" Kim walked up to her in a dangerous kind of way which got Donna shaking a bit. I could tell she was trying to compose herself in front of people but it wasn't fooling anyone.

"I don't know what you're talking about" she said quickly.

"Donna we don't need a repeat of what happen last month right?" Kim raised an eyebrow.

"Uh no" Donna looked at the ground.

"Good… NOW LEAVE!" Kim screeched causing everyone in the hallway to flinch. Donna hurried down the hallway out of sight.

"Thanks again" I said turning to Kim.

"No Prob "Kim smiled and I smiled back.

"Would you love birds stop already we have to get to class" I looked to the right and saw the group staring at us smirking.

"WERE NOT LOVE BIRDS" me and Kim shouted while they continue to smirk. Whatever can we just go to class now" Kelsey said while we nodded.

So are you coming to class or skipping again? I asked turning to Kim.

"Think about skipping why?" she raised an eyebrow.

"I want you to come to class"

"No" she shook her head.

"Why not?" I frowned I really wanted to spend time with her.

"Because I hate her" I know exactly who 'her' is from that conversation with Mike yesterday.

"For me?" I use the puppy dog eyes.

"Fine" she pouted while I laugh and the others looked shocked.

"What?" I asked.

"You just got Kim to agree on something she didn't want to we almost can never do that" Grace said.

"You my friend are a god" Jerry joked.

"Oh shut it" Kim said and stalked off.

The class wasn't so bad, Kim made some comments that made the teacher face go red and others laugh but that about it. Sooner or later it was lunch time and we were all at the table.

"Hey Milton where's Julie" Kelsey asked.

"Working on her science project with Martha in the library" he said.

Before I forget my mom wants to meet you guys after school" I said.

WHAT!" they shouted

I said my mom-

"We heard what you said" Grace interrupted.

"But why?" Jerry asked.

"I don't know she just likes to meet my friends" I shrugged.

"Jack I'm not good with adults" Kim said.

"I can see that" I joked.

"Hahahah funny" she said sarcastically.

"Plus we have karate practice after school" Eddie added.

"We'll go after it won't take that long to meet her" I convinced.

"Well ok" they agreed.

"I'll tell Julie next class" Milton said.

"We have to go, the cheerleaders are having a top secret meeting" Grace said as she, Kim and Kelsey got up from the table.

"When will you be back?" I asked more to Kim then the rest

"Right after lunch stopping worrying I'm not going to anything bad" Kim said as waved her hands around the air dramatically and used quotation marks with her fingers on the word bad.

"Well with you we never know" I teased while she smiled unimpressed and the others laughed.

"Come on lets go see you later guys" Kelsey said as she dragged Kim and Grace with her out the cafeteria.

"So you like Kim huh?" Jerry asked me as the other as Milton and Eddie.

"What?" I asked clearly not seeing that coming

"You like Kim, everyone can see" Eddie said before taking other big bite in his hamburger.

"Guys I do not like Kim" I lied.

"So what with all the flirting this morning?" Jerry asked.

"We weren't flirting" I lied again

"Jack you like just admit it will make you feel better" Milton begged.

"I just met her yesterday how can I like her?" I said

"Other guys I have never met her at all and they fell in love with her

"What do you mean?" I asked what boys love someone they don't know?

"Kim is Hollywood bad girl duh" Eddie said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"That's right I forgot, but end of discussion I don't like her" I kept lying.

"You might want to recheck that dude you totally dig her weather you can control it or not" jerry said while Eddie and Milton agreed.

Ding, ding, ding

Let's go to class we don't want to be late….. Again" Milton said as her glared at jerry as he was the cause and I'm wouldn't be surprise it he was. As couldn't help but think, I know I like Kim and all but I'm competing with over 1000 guys to get her attention what could she possibly see in me.

The day went on after lunch, I'm in next class history, with the whole gang but Kim, grace, and Kelsey said not here yet. I hope Kim's not skipping again like the other classes.

"Ok class let's get started" the teacher said. I looked around the room to see most of the class gone. I wonder were Kim was.

"Hey guys have you seen Kim" I asked the group.

"No I haven't seen the whole cheer squad since lunch" Milton said.

"That weird" Eddie spoke up probably thinking of Kelsey

"Yeah" jerry said.

Just then the door swung open to the cheerleaders who had red noses and puffy eyes, it easy to tell they were crying do to the sniffling. They all seated at the back of the class room each coming in one by one. Then Kim came in last she had fire in her eyes and a red face but you can still tell she was much more pissed then sad then the others. The guys and I were shocked we never seen Kim that mad before. Whoever did this is seriously going to get hurt.

"Would you girls like to tell me why you are late?" the teacher said.

They whimpered in response while Kim glared in space. She must be really upset; I even see a tear going down her cheek. Okay now I'm really worried.

Right when the teacher opened her mouth again to comment on their behavior the door open to revealed the school's security guard. She looked around the room before she spotted the cheerleaders in the back and points to them.

"Okay girls time to go" she said.

"Oh please don't" Kelsey pleaded.

"I'm sorry you have to go" the guard shook her head.

"We will do anything but that" Donna Tobin said.

"I don't have time for this let's go" the guard said more sternly.

"I can't, it's going to go on my permanent t record" Grace said.

"C'mon we have to NOW!" the guard shouted. The girls ran out the classroom so fast wind flew past us, all went except for Kim.

"Kim lets go" the guard faced Kim.

She didn't say anything.

"Kim"

She continued to ignore.

"KIM!" the guard got more aviated.

The guard walked over to Kim and stare intensely, Kim glared back equally intense. Everyone in the classroom stood silent looking at the 2 clearly on the edge of their seats waiting to see what going to happen.

"Let's go" the guard threated.

Kim raised an eyebrow "No"

"What did you say?" she hissed.

"No" Kim challenged.

"Kim you're only making it worse" Grace and Kelsey came back in to get Kim.

"No I'm not it wasn't my fault, why she I get in trouble for something I didn't do?" Kim said irritated.

"Something you didn't do? You were the ring leader" the guard scoffed.

"RING LEADER? THIS WASN'T EVEN MY IDEA" Kim screeched.

"Then who was it then?"

"Melody Lewis" Kim sneered like that named disgusted her.

"You really expect me to believe that a sweet girl like melody would do something like this

"SWEET? That demon is not sweet"

"That enough Kim" the guard shook her head

"It true Melody did it" Kelsey stepped in.

"Just stop with the lies lets go" the guard scold.

"No" Kim leaned back on the chair and crossed her arms and legs.

"Please Kim so we can get this over with" Grace pleaded.

Kim sighed and stood up walking slowly to the door while talking to people in the front on her way out, She was stalling

"Kim we don't have time for your conversations now" the guard said.

"Don't rush me you wanted to then I going so don't push me" she said while the guard huffed and backed off.

"Come on Kim" grace said.

"Wait I have to give Jack a hug" she said while I blushed. She ran over to me and wrapped one arm around my neck while I wrapped both arms around her waist. I ignore the glares and disappointed groans coming from the boys in the class when Kim handed me a note still hugging so no one can see.

"What's this?" I asked while taking the note from her.

"It's an engagements ring" she sarcastically while I rolled my eyes.

"Well I never seen a ring that looks like a note so I'm going with a note, what's it about? "

"Give it to Melody in your next class" she said. Uh oh this can't be good.

"No Kim I can't" I said she might get in to even more trouble.

"Why not?" she said annoyed.

"Because you will get in to trouble if the note says what I think it says"

"Just give it to her ok" she tightened the hug and left out the door with others.

"What was all that about" Eddie asked as I put the note in my pocket.

"I don't know Kim just told me to give it to melody" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well that not good" Milton said.

"Yeah I really don't wanna deal with an angry Kim at the dojo today" Eddie said.

"What do you think it says?" jerry asked.

"Only one way to find out" I took the note out of my pocket with the guys and Julie eyes hovering over my shoulder.

Just when I began to unfold it the bell rung and I quickly stuffed it back in my pocket and gather my stuff. I was a little nervous about giving the note to Melody but I had to for Kim. That reminds me I wonder what happened. Melody seems like a sweet girl, not my type but sweet. What grudge does she and Kim half on each other? Guess I will just find out in next class.
