As I walk in to the dojo it goes from being all chatter, to a dead silence. You could clearly hear Tip-Tip knock over something in Rudy's office. I silently say 'alright than..' and walk into the change rooms and come out of my gei. I'm smiling, but everyone looks at me oddly.
"Um, Kim.. Look, umm..." Jerry muttered.
"We don't think you should go home. It's probably not safe for you to be sparring or anything.." Milton said, forcing himself to avoid my face.
"Guys! I'm not pregnant! Geeze." I sigh, than Jack finally speaks up.
"Kim, there's really no reason to lie, We already know." He said sadly. I actually was so mad right then and there. I'm pretty sure I was going to lose it, but instead, I more than lost it. I totally blew up in all of their faces
"I'M NOT PREGNANT! OK! THE CLOSEST I GOT TO GOING TO THE HOSPITAL WAS FROM A STUPID CONCUSSION! THANKS TO A DOOR AND JACK! NOW LOOK, IF YOU WANNA TALK AND BE MY FRIENDS AGAIN.. YOU HAVE MY NUMBER, YOUR FREE TO TEXT ME." I stormed into the change room and changed back into my jeans and shirt I got from H&M. I was just about to leave when Rudy walked out of is office and saw me leaving.
"Kim, where are you going? Were just about to start" I glance at Jack. He seems as mad as me. He rolls his eyes at me and sigh's
"Let her go Rudy, It's not like we need her." These words sting. As if I ran into a fire and got 50 degree burns everywhere, it makes me feel like crying. I could feel the tension in the room as I leave. All eyes on me. Everyone watching me round the corner of the mall and going home. When I got home I pulled out my phone and called Dillon. I bet that she had something to do with everyone thinking I was pregnant.
"Hey, Dillon. I was just wondering if you had any idea of who started the rumor of me being pregnant?" I asked her nicely.
"Yeah.. Look Kim, I'm so sorry, It's just I saw you go into the nurses office, and I thought if I told people that you were the one who was pregnant it would give me more time with Jeremy." I closed my eyes and rested them.
"Dillon! You have to tell people that I'm not! Like it's ruining my life and I'm not even the one who's pregnant."
"I know, I'm sorry Kim. I'll sort things out I promise.. Even if it ruins my life."
"I'm sorry Dillon, I'm here for you though. OK?"
"Thanks Kim.. It means a lot. I have to go see ya!" Then the line went dead. Finally I knew things were going to be ok. For now anyway, when I have to face the boys tomorrow.. It's going to suck. Jack, I knew would totally block me out, none of them had texted or called me. I knew they never wanted to be friends again. The worst part is that Jack is my neighbor. So, we'd be getting on the bus together and everything. Usually we sit together, but I had a feeling, we'd never sit by each other again.
Next day :)
I woke up and got dressed slowly and walked to the bus like a slug, I wasn't exactly ready to take on the day. When I got there Jack was already standing there. I didn't get any messages from the boys. I was standing alone waiting for the bus when I felt something slam into me. I dropped all my stuff on the ground with a grunt. I bent down to pick up all my stuff when I girls head bent down and hit mine.
"Omg! I'm actually so sorry! I'm new and so confused and scared." I got up with all my stuff.
"It's ok. I'm Kim, I've known a few new kids before." I laughed, I could see Jack look at me from the corner of his eye.
"I'm Truth."
"Cool name! Wanna sit with me?" I said pointing to the bus, that was pulling up in front of us.
"Totally! Thanks Kim."
"No Problem" I smiled. On the ride to school I could feel Jack's eyes on us the whole time. I didn't dare look at him, knowing he'd catch me. Me and Truth were talking when the subject of boys came up as we pulled into the school.
"So, Kim. Got a boyfriend?" I laughed at how crazy she sounded.
"HA! No, I wish I was that lucky. But I have a feeling I'm going to be a human tissue today, My friend as some news for her boyfriend." I said talking about Dillon. We walked into the school and there was Dillon, crying at her locker. Me and Truth ran up to her and slid down the lockers. As if it was a water slide.
"There. I did it Kim. I told him. And now it's over." She bawled.
"Come here Dillon" I hugged her as she cried. I mouthed 'Go get some boxes of tissues' Truth knew what I said but had no idea where to get them. I saw her walk up to Jack and say something, the point to me and Dillon. He shook his head as if he was saying yes and pointed to the nurses office, where the tissues were. When Truth got back Jack pulled me away from the two girls.
"Kim, What's up with Dillon?"
"Oh, now wouldn't you like to know." I said rudely.
"Yeah, I would." He said anxious.
"Go ask Jeremy, and let me go" I said quoting him from yesterday.
"Kim, c'mon, I'm sorry.."
"Yeah, me too." I said walking away from him, leaving him wondering what I meant by sorry, but I saw him go up to Jeremy and he then started shaking his head and rubbing his neck, you know the way boys do when they don't know what to do. Well. When the bell rang Dillon went home and Truth went to her class. I was on my way to Health when someone pulled me around a corner. I squealed, but then stopped when I saw it was Jeremy.
"Oh, look its Mr. Leave when it goes and gets tough." I sighed.
"Kim, Please. I don't know what to do. I mean I know were two years apart, and I'm 16, your 14, but what the hell do I do about Dillon!?"
"You love her right?" He shook his head yes.
"Call her. Tell her your going to be there for her. Be there for you baby, Jeremy. It's not science." I crossed my arms across my chest.
"You think she'll take me back?"
"It's your kid! Of course. She love you." I smiled. We gave each other a friendly hug and I went off to class. I remembered I had to sit by Jack, I sighed when I realized I was late.
"Mrs. Crawford. You're late!" yelled Mrs. Renner.
"I know, I'm sorry. It wont happen again! I promise!" I sat down in my seat and didn't look at Jack the whole time. I could tell he was looking at me though. When Mrs. Renner dismissed us from our Math class at the end of the day( I know they were in health, but they had math with the same teacher,) Jack tried to catch up to me before I got to my locker.
"Kim. Please. Meet me in the dojo today at 3:00."
"Fine, but I don't plan on being there for long got it?!"
"Yup, Thanks Kim"
3:00
I walked into the dojo to see Jack alone, punching a dummy. I noticed he had no shirt on. I was getting a bit light headed, when he saw me he put on his Bobby Wassabi shirt and we sat down on the benches, I was happy he wanted to talk, but I had to hide it behind my pretend anger.
"Kim, I'm so sorry about yesterday, I really am."
"Ok, Fine. You're forgiven." I sighed, I was happy I could go back to being friends with him and not having to hide the fact that I want to talk to him.
"So, about Dillon, Is she really having a baby?"
"Yeah.. I feel bad, ya know. I mean, I still don't get how she could get away with saying I was pregnant though!" I said getting up. "I mean, I don't look like I am, right?" I spun around
"I don't know, I think you have that glow most pregnant women have."
"So you think I'm fat?" I said joking with him. We both laughed.
"No, I mean you're beautiful Kim" I smiled and blushed.
"Thanks.."
"I mean it. Really." He said getting closer and closer to me. Then *BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE* He kissed me. His lips where warm and soft. I could feel he was trying hard not to smile. I was too. He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. When we stopped kissing We noticed Jerry, Milton and Eddie in the door way of the dojo. I was so embarrassed. I ran into the change room and decided I wouldn't come out.. EVER. It was so awkward. I mean Jerry would obviously make things even more awkward with a joke. I had my ear to the door to hear what they were saying to Jack then again..*smack* The door flew open and I smashed to the floor. It was Jack.
"I'm sorry Kim!" He said pulling me up.
"You seem to like slamming girls to the ground with doors, don't you?" I smiled.
"You seem to like spying.."
"No, I like to know when they leave. Jerry is going to make this SO awkward." I played with my fingers.
"Kim, trust me I told him not to make jokes or anything."
"Still, can you just tell Rudy I'm sick or something.."
"While you hide in here for a hour.." I looked up at him in a pleading smile. He gave into me and sighed with a huge 'FIIINNNEE' I clapped like a 3 year old.
"Thank you Jack! So much!" I smiled and hugged him.. This boy was a keeper. definitely
