Jack broke the stack of bricks with no complications, setting the world record. The crowd cheered with him, clapping wildly and congratulating him as he stepped off the stage.

He shook hands with the world record archivist.

"Congratulations."

"Oh, thanks." He smiled.

"We'll be sure to put you in the next book, Jack. Have a nice day." He scribbled on his notepad and left the mall.

"Yo, Jack!" Jerry, Milton, Eddie, and Rudy ran up to him, giving him high-fives.

"Man, that was sick!" Eddie added, laughing.

Jack chuckled and looked over at Kim, who gave him a slight smile and walked away from the crowd.

"Kim!" He called, trying to chase after her, but was stopped by a few people, who shook his hand and congratulated him some more.

He sighed and gave them pleasant smiles, thanking them and weaving his way through them, but found no sign of Kim.

"Jack, what are you doing?" Rudy asked.

"Did you see where Kim went?" He asked, looking at the guys.

"No clue, man." Jerry shrugged. "Why?"

Jack had been so busy looking around to see if he could find her, he didn't notice he had said. "Because she kissed me and we need to talk."

"What?!" Milton asked. "She kissed you! When?!"

"In Rudy's office. I have to go." He jogged off, hoping to find Kim at home.

The next day at school, Jack looked around, hoping to spot Kim; he had gone to her house the day before and her mother told him she wasn't feeling well, so he left.

"Hey, Jack." Jerry walked up next to him. "Still lookin' for Kim?"

"Uh, yeah. Have you seen her?"

"Naw." He took a bite of the apple he had in his hand. "Eddie might have though, he was talkin' to Grace, and her locker's close to Kim's."

"Thanks." Jack patted and his shoulder and ran to find Eddie. "Eddie!"

"What's up?" Eddie nodded his head.

"Did you see Kim this morning?"

"Oh yeah. She went with Grace to the girls' bathroom."

"Thanks, Eddie." Jack walked away and stood by the girls' bathroom door. He rolled his eyes at the stares he was given, until he heard the door squeak open and Kim stepped out with Grace.

"Kim." He grabbed her arm gently. "Can we talk?"

"I'm going to be late for class, Jack." She pulled away from him. "We can talk later."

He opened his mouth to protest, but the school bell rang. He groaned and followed Kim to class since they had first period together.

Despite it being a short school day, the classes seemed to drone on forever. Jack just wanted it to be over already so he could talk to Kim.

When the bell rang for lunch, he raced out of class, catching up to her just before she walked into the cafeteria.

"Kim!" He tried catching his breath. "Kim, we need to talk." He steered her away from the cafeteria entrance.

"Jack, I don't want to talk." She sighed, readjusting her back on her shoulder.

"Why not?" He asked. "Kim, it was just a stupid kiss."

Kim stepped away from him, hurt. "I-I know that." She stuttered. "I just don't want to talk about it."

"Well, we'll have to talk about it, otherwise things will just get awkward between us."

"Jack!" She snapped, feeling frustrated. "If it was just a stupid kiss, why do we have to talk about it? We both know it meant nothing, so why does it matter?"

"It matters!" He grabbed her shoulders. "It matters because…" His eyes searched her face, then drifted lower, watching her lips part in confusion.

"Jack?" She asked, breaking him out of his trance.

"Um." He closed his eyes and shook his head lightly. "I was saying it matters because it's what made me remember."

"Made you remember what?"

"That I like you." He whispered, pulling her closer and wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"Jack?" She questioned. "Jack, come on." She tried pushing him away; it was bad enough she was struggling to keep their relationship in the friendzone, mainly because she was scared if a relationship didn't work between them, it would destroy their friendship. But they were also in school. If they got caught in their embrace, they'd have detention for weeks.

"Jack, stop." She whispered, feeling herself being pulled even closer and their lips were inches apart.

]Jack didn't respond, becoming so lost in the fact that she hadn't completely pushed him away yet and he could get away with kissing her. He brushed his lips against hers and met her lips.

Kim wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him close and feeling one of his arms drop from her shoulders to wrap around her waist.

He felt her mouth open slightly and he groaned against her lips.

That's when she pulled away and tried stepping out of his grip, but failed.

"Kim, I remembered everything after I kissed you." He confessed. "I remembered everything we went through. I remembered every time I had the chance to tell you how I felt, but I chickened out. I remembered all of it."

"It was just a kiss, Jack, it's not possible." She shook her head.

"No, it wasn't." He squeezed her body to his. "It was more than that."

"Jack." She whined, wiggling her way out of his hold. "I can't…do this right now. Can we just talk at the dojo later?" She walked away without hearing his response.

Jack groaned and kicked at the ground, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking into the cafeteria.

I'm sorry it's so short =/
