A/N

OK, I'm tired of apologizing to everyone, but the truth is that I just started classes, so I don't have enough time! I HAD TO DO 3 HUGEEE ASSIGMENTS for today, so yeah…. I'm posting the first part of the marathon, I'm writing the second, cause If I post them all at the same time It will be up like tomorrow, so just for you to not wait longer, I posted this.

For one of the coments saying He/She was furious, I felt bad, cause I know how is that feel, when you see an A/N instead of chapter, but I don't get "furious" I feel more disappointed.

And again SORRRY!

Btw, I said that I was going to use a Beta Writer's help, but I just finished the chapter, and I wanted to upload it now, so there was no time, maybe after the marathon.

Kim's POV:

I could not sleep, I was in my bed with my eyes closed, but the only thing I could think about was the freaking competition against Jack today. Why does this have to be so hard?. I stood up all night checking the consequences on each option I have.

When I got out of my bed, I went to my bathroom to check myself in the mirror, I was not surprised at all, I was looking as horrible as I felt. After doing my everyday's routine, and saying goodbye to my family, I started walking to school thinking again in what should I do… but I just kept confusing myself over and over again.

I needed to think, so in class I only said 'hi' to the guys, but the rest of the day I was alone, sure, they tried to talk to me but I just kept saying 'Not right now please' or 'Sorry, I am in a hurry'.

I skipped lunch and went to the library again, to read my favorite book like the 5th time; to my surprise, I saw Jack sitting alone at the swings with his head down, that image broke my heart, I just wanted to go there, sat next to him and comfort him, to ask him what was wrong. Even if I am not talking to Jack anymore, for me, he is still important, Jack was my closest friend in the dojo, and as long this stupid little fight continues, I will never be the same Kim as I was before it; but, knowing Jack and myself, neither of us will apologize soon, we are too stubborn to do that, though.

Lunch was over, I had math in that period and I am not in the mood for equations right now. I took my usual place in class and as I stared at the board waiting for the bell to ring to start the class, Jack came inside the classroom with his head up, and by Sam's side, but nothing in his face looked like he was happy or even ok, well… was, because as he looked at me, a smile grew in his face; I was wondering 'What's wrong with that dude lately?' He just confuses me, first, he WAS going to apologize to me because the stupid 'secret place' thing, then he doesn't want to talk to me anymore, later, we confront one another and he shut up after my last argument, and now, he smiles with seeing my face?, this is getting a little weird.

Periods passed, and as the bell finally rang, I ran as fast as I could to my locker, drop my books and grab my un-eaten sandwich that I had for lunch.

I practically ran to the dojo and locked myself in the bathroom, Rudy did not even realize that I was there, because he was STILL trying that Tootsie to gave him another chance, I know, lame.

I changed in my gi, and then sat down on the floor, crying. I was frustrated, if I messed this thing up, the dojo will close it's door, and I love this dojo, I really do, but whatever my decision was, I can't stop worrying about the two possible results on each.

Okay, first. If I let Jack win this match, he will go against Connor on Saturday's tournament, but If he loses against him and the dojo was getting closed, I could never blame anybody but myself for that, or maybe if he wins against that Connor guy, we have nothing to worry about, and I'll be proud about my decision, though.

And then, the second one, If I win against Jack, and I'm against that guy, If I lose, we lose the dojo, but I f I win, everyone will be cheering and being happy and that kind of stuff.

But, either way could have the bad result, and I will knew it was my fault.

After all that thinking, I saw the time in my phone and 'Oh crap! I'm late' I thought as I unlocked and rushed out of the changing room, the guys were already warming up and when they saw me, their expressions changed, like their eyes turned from worry to calm.

'Maybe they thought that I may back down, because all of the Sam/Saturday's tournament thing, but I'm still Kim Crawford, I don't back down from a good match' I said to myself on my way to a dummy.

After about ten minutes later, Rudy got out from his office and started looking around like something was missing.

"Rudy, did you lost Tip-tip again?" I said not really caring.

"No, I'm actually looking for Jack, have you guys seen him?" He asked me and the guys, I just shrugged.

"Hey Guys I'm here, sorry about being late" Jack yelled, as he made his way to the mat; he was wearing his gi, but had a black headband and two black stripes painted on his cheeks.

"Ok then, Kim, would you please go to the mat and get in position please? We are starting this match now" Rudy said harshly.

In matter of seconds, as I walked to the mat I thought 'What should I do?' 'What if I mess up?' 'This ain't be good', but when I stood in front of Jack, I could not help it, and I start laughing, of course the guys looked at me as I was some kind of freak, but Jack looked ridiculous with that on.
"S-sorry, i-is jus-just" I stuttered-laughed.
"What's so funny" Rudy asked me with a serious face.
I calmed a little "Nothing, just let me catch my breath" I said.
"Ok then" Rudy said.
I got in position, but look at my side, there were the guys with a worried face, maybe asking themselves what I'm gonna do, 'cause they don't know if I'm going to win or not, basically cause I avoided them all the day, and for being honest, I didn't know what I'm going to do right now.
As that thought passed in my mind, I could see Sam from the corner of my eye, with an evil grin all over her ugly traitor face.
My gaze turned to face Jack, he had a mix of worried/Serious face from what I could tell.
"Ready…" Oh god here it comes "Set…" Geez Kim, think fast! "Spar!" Rudy finished.
And the match began.
Jack was the first one to throw a punch at me, I dodge equals fast, I kicked him in the stomach but he dodged, then he went for kickin' my stomach too, but unlucky me, my face turn around to see Sam with her grin again, as I was about to dodge the kick, so in nano-seconds matter thing, I made my decision, and I just stood there, waiting the kick in my stomach, no muscles moved.
Then, the kick landed on my stomach, where it was supposed to land. I groaned in pain, the same time as I fell to the mat; everything went in slow motion, I could hear the guys yelling my name and their steps coming towards me. Then they were looking at me, laid on the mat, even if I saw their faces blurry; they sighed in relief when I groaned in pain again.
I stood there, laid in my back for several more seconds for two reasons: I hoped that my pain will get a bit better, and the thought that I let Jack win, I made my decision and I really hope I won't regret it.

A/N

I know is not that long, please forgive me, but I'll try to upload the other chapter today/tomorrow.

I'll TRY to upload every Saturday, but is not for sure, please understand me.

I guess that's it.

And great news! (for me at least…) I'm user of the month in the Kickin' it Wiki, YAAY ME!:)
