~Kim's POV~

I walked to class and ran into none other than Jack. Great, just what I needed. To run into the one person I'm trying to avoid.

I sigh and just decide to play nice. "Hi Jack. I'm sorry for running into you."

"It's alright! I wasn't watching where I was walking either." I nod and walk to my desk. As I'm setting down my books down, my pencil falls to the ground. I set it on my desk and notice a folded up piece of paper set there. I pick it up and read it.

Dear Kim,

I know you said that you weren't ready for another relationship yet, but this note is here to convince you.

Reason #1: Maybe going out with me will get your mind off of your breakup.

Reason #2: I haven't stopped thinking of you ever since I moved. I have missed you horribly.

If you change your mind, please call me.

Below, it has a cell number. I take out my iPhone 5* and put the number in my contacts with the name "Josh". I know it's him because nobody else has asked me out since before Jack and I had started dating. It was really nice to see him again, but he seriously pushed it with the note. He should've known that I wasn't ready, considering that I told him less than an hour ago. I got out my phone and texted him.

To: Josh

From: Kim

Leave me alone Josh. I said less than an hour ago that I wasn't ready for another relationship and you pushed it. Goodbye.

~Jack's POV~

Kim was talking so formally. It scared me at how fast two people could become so distant with one mistake. I hated that I had hurt Kim, however unintentionally.

The rest of the day went by quickly, and I walked to my house alone. I walked up my driveway, got the key from underneath the mat, and unlocked the door. I realized that I still had to get the key that I gave to Kim back from her. I put the key back and went up to my room. I groaned and realized I had homework to do. I got my math book, a piece of paper, and a pencil and sat down at my desk.

An hour and a half later, I was done my math and history homework. It was only 4:30 so I went downstairs, grabbed an apple and my skateboard and rode down to the mall. When I got there, I decided to go to the dojo quickly to just practice my boa staff routine a couple of times. As I walked in the dojo, I saw Kim. Okay, so you can either walk right back out before she sees you, or you can act normal with her. Just as I finished asking myself what to do, Kim saw me. So much for walking out before she sees you…

"Hi Kim." I said simply, and then walked into the change rooms. Once I had changed into a pair of sweats and a muscle shirt, I walked out and grabbed my boa staff. I did the routine a couple of times before I noticed Donna staring at me through the window. When she saw that I was looking back, she waved flirtatiously at me and walked into the dojo.

"Hi Jackie! What is that… thing that you were doing called? You're really good at it." She say this in her annoying pinched up voice.

I don't have time for her games. "Donna what are you doing here?" I ask in a cold voice, "Shouldn't you be shopping with your friends?"

"Uhh, no. They're all in detention for throwing chalk at the teacher who is like totes boring." She draws the word boring out, and makes it seem like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Go away Donna, we don't want you here." Says a new voice. I turn around and find that Kim is the one who said that. I widen my eyes and just stare at her.

"Says you. I bet Jack wants me here. Don't you, Jackie-Pie?"

"No, I don't. And don't call me "Jackie-Pie" anymore. It's a stupid nickname given by a stupid girl. Oh, and don't talk to Kim like that anymore." With that I stalk to the change rooms.

~Kim's POV~

"…Oh, and don't talk to Kim like that anymore." With that Jack stalks to the change rooms. I turn to Donna and slap her across the face.

"That's for kissing Jack," I slap her again, "and that's for insulting me."

She glares at me and storms out of the dojo.

"Yes!" I cheer. "I thought she'd never leave!"

Wait… did Jack just stand up for me?! I have to talk to him about it. Five minutes later, when Jack walks out of the change rooms in a yellow and black checkered button-down, black skinny jeans, and bright yellow DC's*.

"Jack, can we talk?"

He looks surprised and then suspicious. "Why…? Okay fine."

I sigh with relief. "Okay, so I know after today you probably don't want to talk to me. Just let me talk. Please?"

"Okay."

"After, you stood up for me I realized something. I realized that we can't stay not friends. We have to be friends. You're the only one who gets me and knows what I'm going through. Although I am willing to be friends again, I can't date you. I couldn't stand it if something like this happened again."

I looked at him. He was speechless. Without a word, he got up and walked away. It was my turn to be shocked.

I was lying on my bed, trying to figure out what was up with Jack, when all of a sudden my iPhone* rang. I picked it up and it was Jack.

"Hey, I'm sorry I walked out after you finished talking to me. I was just so shocked and I couldn't say anything. I truly am sorry, and would love to be your friend again." He said in a rush. I forgave him and we had a short conversation, ending with, "Bye, Jack. I guess I'll see you around somewhere."

"Bye, Kim. See you!"

I woke up the next morning to the sound of "Criminal" by Brittany Spears playing on my iPhone*. It was 6:00 and I had an hour and 45 minutes to get ready. This included having a shower, getting dressed, doing my hair and makeup, eating, brushing my teeth, and waiting for Jack to come to my house. I quickly had a shower and then walked into my walk-in closet. To wear, I ended up choosing a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a purple cami, a navy blue and purple-of-the-same-shade polka dotted shrug, denim Chuck Taylors*, and dangly hoop earrings. I did my makeup naturally, with no blush, but a little bit of light pink lip gloss, and my hair I curled into ringlets. I went downstairs, grabbed an apple and a yogurt, and texted Jack.

To: Jack

From: Kim

You gonna swing by my house so we can walk and talk on the way to school?

It was only two minutes until he replied.

To: Kim

From: Jack

Yes, I will be there in five minutes.

I quickly finished my breakfast and sat down on the bench in the entry hall of my house. Soon there was a knock on the door. I grabbed my bag and my iPhone* and opened the door.

"You ready?"

"Yep, just let me lock up."

I finished locking up, and turned around to notice Jack staring at me.

"What?"

"It's nothing. I'm just wondering if you're dressing up for someone special…"

"Oh, and by 'someone special' you mean you?"

"Was it that obvious?"

"Ya think?"

I rolled my eyes at him. By then we were halfway to the school. We just started talking about random stuff when Jack grabbed my wrist.

"What can I do to change your mind about the 'no dating me' thing?"

"Guess you'll just have to wait and see…"

Sorry for the long chapter guys! I think this was a pretty good chapter. Tell me what you think! Review please! -Tay 3

P.S. sorry for making Josh into a bad guy, for those who liked him. I just wanted her to be mad at him for some weird reason. Anyway, whether she forgives him or not, you'll have to read and find out!
