The next day Kim thought everything went perfectly. In the morning she greeted Jack by his locker with a basket of muffins. "Made them last night," she said proudly.

Jack took a bite, "Wow, Kim," he said with his mouth full of muffin, "These are actually really good!"

Kim gave him a "really?" look.

"ha ha but of course, I've always known you were a great baker," he quickly saved himself. He finished his muffin then said, "walk you to class?" He offered her his arm.

"Sure," she said with a smile and linked her arm through his as they set off to her first class.

At lunch Kim made sure Zoey and Ashley saw everything that her and Jack did that were couple-y. While Kim sat at the cafeteria table she gave Jack a flirty wave as he waited in the cafeteria line up. Then when he sat down next her, she leaned her head against his shoulder while he had his arm around her shoulder. They talked and laughed, it almost seemed natural to act like this.

After school, Jack even went as far as walking Kim home from school.

"I think we got 'em good today," he commented when they arrived at her doorsteps.

"Oh yeah, we're officially Seaford High's Brad and Angelina," Kim joked.

Jack laughed, "Well, see ya tomorrow,"

"Yeah, see ya," Kim said back as he left.

When she got in the her house the phone rang. She answered, "Hello?"

"Hey Kim" said a snooty voice that Kim could only recognized as Zoey's.

"Zoey how did you get my number?" Kim asked annoyed.

"We have our sources," said Zoey.

"Yeah just like how we have sources that told us about what you and Jack are up to!" Kim heard Ashley's voice say.

"And what are we up to?" Kim asked trying to sound innocent.

"Oh please," said Zoey, "Don't even try. We know Jack is only pretending to be your boyfriend so you can win the bet. That's sad Kim, that's really sad."

Kim was silent at the other end of the phone line.

"But since we're such awesome people, we're willing to give you another chance. Since you're 'dating' Jack, we bet that you don't have the guts to kiss him in front of the whole school at the homecoming dance next week."

Kim gulped.

"Oh and you can't tell Jack obviously, or any of your little dweeby Karate friends about our little wager because then you'll automatically lose the bet."

"Yeah and we'll know that you've told them because we have sources!" Ashley added.

"So Kim? do we have a bet?" Zoey asked, "or are you scared?"

Kim took a deep breath and then said confidently, "No way, I would never be scared of you guys, or a kiss, for that matter. You guys got yourself a bet."

"Excellent. Can't wait to see Seaford High's favourite couple at homecoming," she said sarcastically and hung up.

Kim leaned herself against the wall and slid down to the ground. What was she going to do now?
