Kim's POV
I can't believe it. How could this happen, why did it happen? These were the questions rushed through my head. He died, my grandfather died. The man I loved so much dies. I'm shocked, I can't move, I can barely breathe. Then it sinks in, and I bolt, I don't where, but I'm going there. I'm at the dojo; it's closed because its 9PM, but the spare key is in the bushes next to the door. I open it and before the alarm goes off I punch in the code 'RUDYISCOL'. I walk to my locker looking for a spare work outfit, and have a black tanktop and black short shorts. The color matches my feelings, oh well. I change in the girl's locker room and start working out on the dummy, putting my sadness, anger, and confusion into every punch and kick I send. Then I hear the front door open and see Jack.
His face has confused and questioning look on his face. I look at the clock 11:30PM, it's late but I don't care and turn back to the punching dummy and notice the head is off. Well, I'll pay Rudy back later. Then start punching and kicking it again, then feel something warm on my shoulder, I turn around and Jack is still there but closer, so close that we barely have 6 inches between us. I blush at the proximity and back away, my mind replays the conversation just mere hours before. I fight back the tears that are threatening to burst into view of him, "Kim whats wrong? What happen?" he asks. I don't speak, afraid if I do the tears will make an appearance I don't want pity, sympathy, or wanting to show weaknesses, "You can tell me, I won't judge anything you do or say."
"Promise?" I croak in a rough voice.
"I promise on the Wasabi Code." he answered. I think he nodded his head but it's all blurry by my tears. I run to him and start sobbing on him, he was surprised- I could tell because he tensed up- but he hugged me back, whispering sweet nothings into my hair. I balled until I was out of tears and started to have a break down. Jack got me my emergency water bottle and told me to drink, so did. I calmed down after that and sat down on the mats.
I just belted the story out, from beginning to end. He listened and stayed quiet during the whole time. After I finished, he asked me some questions like 'What did you usually do?', or 'What was his nickname for you?' ect, ect. "The saddest thing is I never got to tell him good-bye." I whispered, to him and he pulled me into another hug.
"Kimmy, I know it's not the right timing, per se, but I love you." he said. I was shocked, but this time a good type of shocked. I guess, Jack thought I didn't love him back, because he shot up and bolted out. I just stayed there on the floor, with blood-shot eyes, stuffy nose, red face, and a small smile on my face until I realized I didn't say anything back. He probably thinks I don't like him back. Stupid Kim! Idiot! Dummy! I mentally beat myself up on the way home. But he loves me back! Then, I got started on the best idea I could come up with. Jack will love this! I mentally squealed.
Jack's POV
Stupid! Idiot! Dummy! I shouldn't have told her! I screamed at myself. I just walked to the dojo because Kim's parents' called me telling me Kim left and they don't know where she is. I asked them why, but they didn't tell me why and Kim would if she wanted to. I first checked anywhere she could hurt herself, then the dojo, knowing that she works her emotions out by karate, like me.
When I got home I called her parents and told them she was at the dojo, and to not worry. They sighed and hung up. Then, I went to bed, since we had school tomorrow. And we have school rally tomorrow, yay! *Note the sarcasm*
Then I went to sleep, dreading to face people tomorrow. Little did I know it was going to best going to the best day of my life.
No One's POV
Monday was awkward for the two black belts, but Kim decided to call in a few favors from the principle, cheerleaders, and Julie. It was finally time for the rally for the whole school, and all grades, freshmen to seniors, and Kim was putting all on the line for this to work. "Welcome to your school's once a month school rally, we have a special surprise for a certain person- but first lets welcome your school's football team!" the principle said. Then the whole football team came rush through the doors and started pumping up the crowd," Settle down," he said, then waited for a common peace, "now for the cheerleaders!"
This was Kim's surprise; the cheerleaders carried a wasabi green sign that said, 'Jack Brewer, will you be my boyfriend? –Kim Crawford' and the cheerleaders decorated the sign with apples, people in karate stances, question marks, JB+KC, and hearts. The cheerleaders ran in with the sign and there was a gasp through the whole school then, they heard a voice through the speakers, "Jack I love you, too. Will you be my boyfriend?" the one and only Kimberly Crawford asked.
Soon, everyone turned towards the junior, and he was just shocked beyond words. Then, started to get up and slowly walk towards the blonde and took the microphone from her hands, and spoke one word, "Yes." She couldn't take it any longer; she crashed her lips against his. Her arms snaked around his neck and his hand that wasn't holding the microphone was wrapped around her waist, then teacher grabbed the microphone, before it could be dropped. Then, the most cliché thing that the cheerleaders could do, they did. Apparently one garden club girls, Emily, got her boyfriend, Mike, to make it rain rose petals on top of them.
It all happened when he made her smile even when the worst happens.
