Sorry for not updating for a while but I've been really busy. I'll try to keep up with it...
KIM POV
I have a silly little secret... No one knows. The problem is I'm starting to want to. A specific person, Jack. What's he going to do? He's clearly kissed many girls since he's quite cute. Lots of girls must like him. It would've been awkward if he had taken Jerry's advice. I'm just so confused for a 15 year old. I mean, I really like Jack but is it worth the risk?
"Hey Kim"
"Jack. Ready to lose?"
"I'm ready but that's never going to happen"
"You seriously think that's true. That you're actually better than me"
"Yeah, we may both be black belts but I'm better. Face it"
I walked off from him and ran into the girl's changing rooms. I don't see the point as there's only me and Marge, the lunch lady.
"Sorry, Jack at first I thought I could take it easy on you, but now? I'm gonna have to take you down"
"I still think you have a little crush on me"
"Once again, NO"
"Whatever you say"
I knew he was trying to throw me off. So I could either attack or give it him back. I don't see why I can't do both.
"Actually, Jack have started to think I should admit it"
His face was now full of confusion. "Admit what?"
"My feelings since I first met you"
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"Yes Jack, yes I am"
When his face and body went into shock, I lunged. He suddenly caught on and properly fought back. I blocked his front kicks and he wouldn't let my axe kicks touch him.
After changing into my shorts and vest since it is a hot day, I saw Jack waiting for me on the mats.
"Hey, Kim"
"Jack. That was a fun session"
"Yeah, always a good time sparring"
"So are you going home or...?"
"Well, I was thinking of quickly going into the library for a quick study"
"Me too. Let's go together"
Straight away, I knew he was lying and I wanted to know why but I also wanted someone to come with me anyway.
When we arrived, he opened the door for me.
"Miss, Kim Crawford"
"Thank you, kind sir"
I grabbed some chemistry, biology and maths books while Jack just went for Physics and training information leaflets. He sighed as he sat grumpily into the chair and slamming the book onto the table. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Sorry, I didn't really need to come here"
"Then why?"
"I thought you might want the company and I've been meaning to read these booklets for a long time"
"Oh, ok. Jack? Can I ask you something seriously for a second?"
"Well, ever since our 'date' we haven't really talked properly about it. And I need to know how you've been since then"
"It seemed we should be friends" I wanted to tell him that we don't have to be just friends but I was pretty sure he had his mind set. "It's just that... Maybe we could..."
"Try to be more?" I knew I was risking everything but I just had to go for it. His eyes slightly widened and his brows raised. Now, I regretted saying anything, I wanted to run away. But I probably shouldn't.
"Exactly how I was feeling" He thought the same things as me? Aww. He winked at me and smiled. Wow. That was easier than I thought it would have been. He felt the same way as I did. "Who'd have thought that Ricky 'doll hair' Weaver brought us closer?" He laughed at his own comment and normally I hated it when guys laughed at their own jokes but this time I just laughed along with him.
"But we can't rush into it, Jack. I mean, we only 15 and still in school"
"Yeah, I know"
He sat with me until I finished my homework. He got all the things I needed. Helped me with the things I didn't get, he even called Milton on one question and when I got wrongly accused of talking, he stood up for me. He went over the top with it but it was the thought that counted.
"Kim?" Jack stopped still whilst walking home.
"Jack?"
"I have a little secret that I've never told anyone but I feel I can tell you" He was really worrying me. I mean, he's got into quite alot of trouble with the Police before... No, he promised me he'd stopped.
"What is it?"
"I may have never had my first kiss. I know, it's pathetic but I just haven't. I always say girls look pretty and all that guy stuff but no girl has ever seemed interesting"
I sighed with a giggle which made me suddenly realise Jack was still here and just told me a big deal for him. And me. His face was a little took back by my reaction.
"Sorry, it's just" I didn't know how to tell him.
"No, I understand you do find it pathetic"
"Jack. Stop. I've never had mine either. My first kiss"
"Really?" he said this with a little bit of shock which hurt me.
"I didn't mean to sound rude but I can't believe it. Kelsey was telling Jerry that you had made out with her brother's best mate. Although, now that I think about it, why did I believe her when I never even asked you if it was true"
"So if I told you I hadn't, which is the truth, you would believe me over her?"
"I do"
He smiled at me then gave an exaggerated cough. He looked down the road.
"Aren't you going to go home?"
I only just realised that he had walked me home. How sweet of him.
"Thanks, Jack. You didn't have to"
"You're welcome. It's not trouble walking you home"
"No, for everything. You didn't have to tell me anything"
Then we both leant in for a hug and it seemed more of a meaningful hug than we'd ever done before. When we celebrated over winning it was more a slam than a hug and after getting cheeseburgers together it was more of a mishap/
Maybe all we needed was to have a talk together...
