Hey hey! I'm back with the next chapter of Yours Truly, The Girl Who Can't Rock Red! I will be posting the next chapter of Kickin' It Without Them in a few days and I want to thanke eveyone for the sweet reviews on my new story, Scratches On The Ice. I'm glad my rant meant something to people. Anyway, ON TO THE STORY! BTW, pretend I've never introduced Eddie or Milton in this story yet, kk? I'll be introducing them in this chapter. And Kim and Milton have a good friendship in this story as well, like many others.

Jerry: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!*Runs up and hugs me
Me: *Hugs back...
"Oh my god! How did this happen!" I mumble, watching everyone take looks at the letters, laughing. They look at Jack, who's blushing, his cheeks a dark red. I just walk to my locker, avoiding any eye contact. Grabbing my History textbook, I shut my locker and come face-to-face with Jack.
"Kim! I need to talk to you. It's about this "Girl" I've been writing letters to." He tells me, and I hold my breath for a second, afraid that he's gonna say he thinks it's me.
"Um...what about "her"?" I manage to say, looking at Grace who just gives me a sympathetic look. I motion for her to get Jack away and she nods.
"Donna is real upset about this, and she threatens to dump me if this girl doesn't show her face and beat the living crap out of her, and I don't want that to happen. What do I do?" He asks me, and I just shake my head.
"Why does it even matter?" I ask, looking up at him, and he just looks around before facing me again.
"Because I love her." He whispers, and my head starts to hurt a bit, and I blink a few times to get my distorted vision to go back to normal. He loves her, I mean ME! He loves ME! Donna's gonna end up beating the living crap out of me!
"Oh...um...how about you get the girl to show her face without Donna knowing, then have Donna see who she is...if she thinks the girl is some "wannabe loser" than she couldn't care less. But what if you don't love the girl who really is the 'Girl who can't rock red?' If you don't, then just stick with Donna. But if you still love the girl, then find the least painful way to dump her. Then just wait a few months. If the girl doesn't satisfy you, come back to Donna and she'll be happy you did. If not, then you decide from there." I explain to him, and his face lights up.
"Thanks Kim! You're a genius!" He half yells/half screams, hugging me. I muster up all of the courage I have in me and hug him back, though only for a second before he pulls away. I hear him mutter a swear word under his breath when he looks at the clock. Only 5 minutes until class and his first class is halfway across the school(he changed classes).
I watch him leave, thoughs swirling through my head. He loved me! And I just gave him a plan to find out it's me! Darn, what did I get into! Looking at the clock, I rush to my History class, with only a few seconds to spare.
Donna's POV(I decided to go back and forth with Kim and Donna's POV)
That 2 headed, 4 eyed monster! How dare this "girl" try to steal Jack from me! When I find out who she is, I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind!
"Ugh! How dare this "Girl who won't wear pink" try to steal Jack away from me!" I say to Demi who's sitting beside me, whining and stomping my foot, my metallic red heels making a weird noise. Mrs. Burnell, our math teacher isn't here yet so everyone is out of their seats just talking.
"First of all Donna, it's 'The Girl Who Can't Rock Red', and second of all, how do we even know she's stealing Jack! This girl hasn't even bothered to show her face! How can Jack date some person who he doesn't even know is!" Demi exclaims, and I nod, chewing on my strawberry and apple flavoured gum, popping a bubble. It's true. Jack doesn't even know who she is! All I need to do is make sure Jack never finds out who this girl is! Then he'll complete forget her and him and I will still date him! Perfect!
"You're right Dem. Totes(short form for totally) right! All I need to do is keep this girl away from Jack and then BAM! He's still with me..." I tell Demi, and she smirks, staring at her nails. On the other side of me, Amelia is playing with a mini plush rabbit.
"Amelia!" I harshly whisper, and she turns her head, looking at me.
"Yeah?" She asks me.
"Why are you playing with a stuffed bunny?" I hiss, and she looks at me.
"Because they're cute! Oh, what does btw mean?" She asks me, and I shake my head and slap my face.
"It means by the way." I try to say as kindly as possible, but snap immediately after she replies.
"Oh, I thought it meant 'Brain Telephone Waves.'"
"WTF? WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT MEANS 'BRAIN TELEPHONE WAVES?' THAT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS!" I scream, causing everyone to look at me. I just give them a glare and they quickly look away. God, I have the dumbest friend.
"Hey Donna! I just realized something..." Demi whispers, and I turn my head to her.
"What?" I mumble, staring dreamily at Jack who's sitting across the room.
"What if the girl is Kim!" Demi mutters, and I look at her in a weird way.
"Excuse me! You're saying my step-sister is the girl Jack is in love with?" I scoff, and Demi keeps holding her stare, keeping a straight face.
"Yes. I mean, the girl has blonde ringlets! And I remember seeing the dress the girl wore in her closet!" Demi says, and I open my mouth wide.
"You snooped in Kim's closet?" I'm shocked. No one has ever done that. "Well done!" I add, giving her a high-five.
"Yup." She boasts, clicking her nails on her desk.
"Wow. Anyway, I'm gonna go talk to Jack." I dreamily say, bringing my shirt collar down a bit to look good. Although it looks kind of gross, it always attracts the boys. I'm about to walk up to his desk when Mrs. Burnell comes in, staring at me with a hard and upset look.
"Miss. Tobin! Back to your seat NOW!" She yells at me, and I scurry back to my desk, hiding my face.
"Good. Sorry I am so late class. I had an errand to run. Now, we will begin our lesson..." She drones on, and I shut out everything. Math class is soooooo boring. I don't even know why we need to know this junk! Ugh, it disgusts me how we need to know this. I mean, 'HELLO!', we're in grade 12 and we still need school! Some of us are almost eighteen, legal adult age and we have to spend part of our adulthood learning numbers! Ugh.
"Hey Demi. What do you say we do a little snooping in Kim's room?" I ask her, and she nods, smiling deviously.
"Perfect. Operation Break In And Stake Out is a go!"
Kim's POV
After history, math, language arts, which I got an A+ in for my short story...! And chemistry, it's finally time for lunch. Thankfully, unlike a lot of people, I bring my own lunch everyday so as I'm looking through my backpack, I'm expecting to find my brown lunch bag with an apple, mini milk carton, and sandwich, but it's not there! Grumbling, I dig through my pocket and find a $10 bill. Great, I have to buy lunch now.
When I get into the cafeteria, I smell a sweet aroma and realize that I'm the only one there except for Grace who's grabbing lunch.
"Hey Kim! The new principal showed Marge how to cook better and the food here is now DELICIOUS!" She calls out to me, and I quickly join her. Getting a tray, I grab an apple, a ham and cheese sandwich, a slice of pizza and a milk carton. I'm about to give Marge my money when she adds a piece of red velvet cake to my tray. I thank her and hand over my money. She gives me my change and I go to sit down with Grace.
"Oh my gosh Grace, this looks delicious!" I tell Grace, but I hear a faint whimper coming from the hallway. "I'll be right back Grace." I say, and she nods.
When I walk out of the hallway, I see Donna and Kelsey making fun of 2 people. one with ginger coloured hair and a lot of freckles, and an african-american boy. I think their names are Milton and Eddie, but I'm not very sure.
"Donna...we have been over this, stop it!" I tell her, and she snickers.
"Really Kim? You may have gotten lucky on Friday, but read my lips, I don't care! You know why? Because Mrs. Ricardo is-" She starts, but gets cut off.
"-Standing right behind you."
Donna turns around, facing Mrs. Ricardo standing right in front of her.
"I thought I made the right decision cutting off your suspension Ms. Tobin, but I guess not. Detention! And for all those who watched this happen, come over here. I need to talk to you. Kim, Milton and Eddie, you may make your way to the cafeteria." She demands, and everyone scurries over to her while Milton, Eddie and I walk into the cafeteria.
"Thanks Kim for helping us." Milton says, and so does Eddie.
"No probs. Wait, what's wrong?" I ask when I see Milton becoming a bit pale.
"Milton and I have no where to sit! Wherever we are, everyone picks on us and steals our lunch..." Eddie explains, and I nod.
"Why don't you sit with us?" I ask, and they have shocked looks on their faces.
"Really? No one ever asks for us to sit with them!" Milton exclaims, and I just point to where Grace is sitting.
"Well, I did. Now come on, the cafeteria food is delicious! Grab some before everyone else start piling in and join us!" I tell them, and watch them make their way to where the food is. After grabbing a few things, they come over and we all start eating when all of the other students start coming in.
"Not a second too soon." Milton breathes as he starts eating his garden salad, after putting hand sanitizer on. I hear students ooing and ahhing as they stack their plates. I notice Marge doesn't give them a piece of red velvet cake and when they see a piece on our plates, they start complaining to Marge.
"Sorry. Mrs. R said only to give dessert to students who deserve it and after your chat, you don't." She simply says, and people just walk away, cursing under their breath.
"Jeez, it seems like we're the only ones who got cake." Grace says, and Eddie nods. I see Grace smiling at him and he gives her a smile back, causing Grace to blush a tiny bit. I elbow her whispering "Looks like someone's crushing on a certain boy."
She then blushes even more, quickly taking a bite of her pizza so she has an excuse not to talk. I just give her a playful glare and start eating my apple.
45 minutes later, we've finished everything. Since there's 15 minutes left, I go to the library with Milton. Grace and Eddie go outside for some fresh air, or to hang out. When Milton and I get to the library, I hear "Good To You" by Marianas Trench ft. Jessica Lee playing, and I know its my cellphone(A/N: Lol, I'm listening to this song right now as I'm typing up the chapter! It's an amazingsauce song!). Fishing my cellphone out of my pocket, I see it's Naomi. That's weird, Naomi never calls. Plus, how did she get my number!?
"Hello?" I ask, and I hear Naomi's familiar voice at the end of the line, a bit of a british accent mixed in.
"Kim! Darling! How are you? I'm coming home in 3 days!"
"That's wonderful! Wait, how did you get my number?" I tell her.
"I have my sources. Anyway, got to go love! See you soon!" She replies, and I say "bye" and hang up.
"Who was that?" Milton asks me, and I explain to him about my mom. I also told him and Eddie about my used-to-have crush on Jack during lunch. It feels nice telling someone else about it.
"That's cool and- hey Kim! Jack's calling for you! Go girl, go!" He slightly pushes me to where Jack is sitting. I blush a bit and glare at Milton, but he has a persistent look and ushers me over to Jack. He then goes to the Geography section to find a book on Russia for a project he has to work on.
"Hey Kim!" Jack says cheerfully, and I wave and take a seat across from him.
"Hi" I mumble, looking at the table as if it's the most fascinating thing on earth.
"I want to thank you for the plan on finding my mystery girl! The plan is going to commence tomorrow. By the way, thanks for getting my jacket the other night..." He says, and I mumble a "your welcome."
"Hey Kim...you're a really nice person. I saw the way you helped those two guys...what are their names...?" He asks, snapping his fingers trying to think.
"Milton and Eddie." I finish for him, and he gives me a genuine smile. That was the smile I'd melt when I saw it. I remember when I would see that smile, hoping every time he was smiling at me. But he never did. It would always be someone behind me, and my heart would shatter into a million pieces. But now he was smiling at ME. ME! All I could do was smile back.
"Anyway, you have a lot of courage for a 17 year old Kim. You really do...I don't know how you can stand up to Donna like that. Not even I can..." He whispers, and I just shrug.
"Well, I've been living with Donna for over a year, so I'm used to her behaviour." I giggle a bit, and Jack laughs as well, then smiling again. I smile back, looking back at the table, drumming my fingers against it. I hummed "Good To You" while staring at the table, things becoming a bit awkward. When I look up, Jack is still staring at me, smiling. Then, he starts leaning in, closing his eyes. Closer and closer. Oh my cherry pits! Jack is gonna kiss me! I'm about to lean in when through the corner of my eye, I see Donna about to walk in. I quickly back away, getting up.
Jack opens his eyes, a bit of hurt flashing through his chocolate brown eyes, and my heart shatters into a million pieces. I can't kiss him, he's still dating Donna. My stepsister...I'd never live it down if I kissed him. Part of me is thankful that I didn't kiss him, but part of me wishes I did, wishing that I could. But I can't. I won't. I don't want Jack to find out I'm his mystery girl. He would hate me, and so would everyone else.
Thank god I'm going to Harvard next fall. I got my acceptance letter early since they wanted me to enroll as soon as possible. Grace is going there too, and I think Milton is too. I really want Eddie to go to so we're like best friends in University and we're not seperated from everyone else, but he's afraid he isn't. He's close to getting good enough grades for them to accept him, so Milton is tutoring him. For such a shy boy, he really is quite clever.
"I can't. You're still with Donna, remember? I'm sorry." I whisper to Jack before running off to where Milton is checking out a book, blushing furiously.
"I saw what happened Kim. Goodness, that boy loves you Kim! Jack l-" He starts, but I quickly clamp his mouth, pointing to where Donna is talking to Jack, smiling at him seductively. I see him looking away, then staring at me. We lock eyes, but I quickly look away, thanking Milton for grabbing me the novel I was hoping to read. I check it out, then walk out of the library, Milton following me. Oh god, I will not be going into the libary for a while. I can't believe it. I think he likes me. But I keep telling myself he doesn't. It's just a mutual friendship. Maybe not even a friendship...
Right?
And I'm gonna leave it there! Gosh, over 3k words! I usually never write this long. Sorry to keep you all waiting. A lot of people requested that I add a new chapter of this story, so I did? Are you all happy? I hope you are. I can't believe it...JACK AND KIM NEARLY KISSED! HA! I MADE THEM NOT! I'm sorry, but I thought it would be too rushed in the story for them to kiss just in the 4th chapter. Lol. Anyway, I know which chapter they're gonna kiss! Ha! If you wanna know, you gotta PM me the answer to this question. It's a tricky one!
Some Months Have 30 days, and some have 31. How many months have 28 days?
PM me the answer, and if you get it right, I will tell you which chapter they kiss...kk? And please don't cheat, I want this to be a question you got straight off the bat. I will give you some time to think about it, but please don't search it up on the internet. That take the fun away from it...anyway, when you PM me, give me the answer, and what time you finished reading this fanfiction, kk? Good. Now goodbye my Karate Kickers! Hope you're enjoying the Olympics. BTW, please check out my new story, Scratches On The Ice. Oh, and can we get to 50 reviews?That would be totally awesome and would make my day!
With Lots Of Love,
Hiruthika
