Kim's POV

I sat in science, half paying attention, while twirling my pen around as I waited for the bell to ring so Jack and I could ask our teacher if we could do the science project together.

On one of my pen-twirls, it flew right out of my hands and across the room. Guess whom it hit smack in the face? That's right.

Jack.

"Ouch!" came a quiet cry from across the classroom. I followed the voice back to where Jack was sitting, rubbing his nose from the impact. He held up the pen and instantly recognized that the pen was mine.

He knew I always used a Sharpie pen but ended up scratching off all of the paint from the logo, leaving a plain graphite color behind.

He gave a smile in my general direction and pocketed the pen.

How dare he? And this is just great, now how was I supposed to take the notes on the board?

I fished around my bag for another pen, and came across Jack's. How did that get in here? No matter. I picked it out and flaunted it in his direction and I saw his jaw drop in mock-surprise.

The bell finally rang and Jack and I made our way to Mr. Park's desk.

"May I help you Ms. Crawford? Mr. Brewer?" he asked as he shuffled some papers around on his desk.

"Well um, Mr. Park, do you think it'd be okay for me and Jack to do our science project together? We have a stellar idea and– " I said, getting cut off by our teacher.

"You are aware that this is an individual project, yes?" he looked from his desk, to my face, to Jack's face, and back down to his desk.

"Please Mr. Park?" begged Jack as he placed his hands together. "Kim and I will do a really great job! And I promise that this will be the last time we ask you to let us do this."

He had a point in mentioning that this would be the last time. In past projects and assignments Jack and I have always asked to be together or have already been paired together. We'd kind of made a habit of asking him.

"Let me think about it," said Mr. Park as he organized a tin of paperclips. Gosh, did he really have to straighten up his desk while he talked to us?

"Come back at the end of the day and I'll give you my answer then, alright? Now off with you."

I thanked Mr. Park and then grabbed Jack's wrist and pulled him out of the classroom.

"So, you think he'll let us do it?" asked Jack as we made out way to our lockers.

"Definitely, he always lets us do stuff like this," I said as I dropped my math book into my bag. "And can I please have my pen back?" I demanded as I held my hand out for it.

"Only if you give me mine back," he replied making the same gesture.

"No way! I want mine back first!" I said as I jumped up to get it, but he held it just out of my reach.

"Okay, I'll give you back your pen first…" he started. "…But only if you give me a kiss."

"Gross Jack! Just hand it over!" I reached up again but he held it up higher. I could feel my cheeks burning at the suggestion of a kiss.

"I'm waiting," he said with a smirk as he poised himself for a kiss. I thought for a second and then I decided. 'What the heck? Why not?' I thought.

I leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek. He gave me my pen and I ran off with his still in my hand.

"Hey! Give it back!" he yelled from where he stood. "I need that!"

"Too bad!" I called from over my shoulder. "You'll get it back when Mr. Park decides we can do the project together!"

Jack's POV

As I made my way to English class, I brought my hand up to where Kim had kissed me. This time I knew it was 100 percent intentional, even if it was just to get her pen back.

I didn't really care when my teacher yelled at me for walking in after the late bell and tried to give me detention. I was on cloud nine. I just sat down and tried to pay attention until class was over and I could go back to science.

The second the bell rang, signaling the end of class, I darted out the door and down the hall to my science class to get the final verdict on our project.

Kim walked through the door seconds after me and Mr. Park nodded at us.

"Mr. Brewer. Mrs. Crawford. I believe that I will allow you two to work on this project together," he said as I gave Kim a high five. "However, this is the last time that I bend the rules an assignment for you two, is that clear?"

"Yes, sir," Kim and I replied simultaneously.

"Alright then, I look forward to the results," he said as he gathered his things and got up to go.

"Thank you Mr. Park!" called Kim from the doorway as we were leaving. "We won't let you down!"

We walked out of the school and made our way to the dojo.

"Do you have any ideas for the project?" I asked Kim

"Actually I have no idea," she said sheepishly. "How about you?"

"I've got nothing…" I replied. "How are we going to do this?"

"Jack, I'm sure we'll think of something," she said as she squeezed my arm lightly. When we opened the doors to the dojo, we noticed that everybody was already there, but they were all huddled around something in the middle of the room.

"Uh, hey guys. What's going on?" asked Kim as she made her way to where the crouched.

"Oh hey Kim, Jack," said Rudy when he heard her voice. "I just got this awesome new gadget to perfect your karate!"

"This isn't going to be like the time you got a robot is it? Because if it is, Kim isn't going to-" I said but Rudy cut me off.

"Nah, no way. I just has a sensor and a camera and it'll tell you what you're doing wrong and what you can do to fix it."

I was a little skeptical but when I looked at Kim, I could see the gears turning in her head.

She turned to me and said, "Jack isn't this awesome? We could use this for our project!"

"Uh, sure Kim, we could try," I said slowly.

She gave me a look and turned to Rudy, " Rudy, can we please use this for our project?"

"Don't see why not," said Rudy. "What kind of project is it?"

"Well we're not entirely sure yet, but this would totally help," said Kim quickly.

Her excitement got to me, "Yeah maybe we could use this to gather data or something like that."

"Sure guys, go ahead," said Rudy.

Kim let out a sigh of relief and I asked the rest of the guys if they wanted to be our test subjects.

"Yeah sure, why not," said Eddie.

"We're going to be like lab rats!" exclaimed Milton.

Jerry let out his signature "WOO!" and we knew we had an 'A' in the bag.

A/N: Okay, small Kick moment but I promise next chapter has more (I already have it written up!) And sorry for the delay, I got my computer taken away last week and I just got it back so yeah. Don't own Kickin' It!
