Hey! I got my five reviews, so I wrote you guys a new chapter! Love you all you're all so amazing.
Kim's POV
I walk back to the cafeteria, considering what Jack told me. Could it be true? Shawn seems like a genuinely nice guy, but then again, Jack never really lied to me in the past. But, like I said, I don't know him anymore, and so I don't know if I can still trust him.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to be considered his friend again, but every time I remember that one night, I get teary. And I haven't cried since my grandma died when I was three. That's how much it hurt me.
I sit down at the cafeteria table and say hi to everyone.
"Where's Jack?" Jerry asks.
"Oh, he's eating somewhere else today." I reply.
"Okay."
As I unwrap my burrito and take a bite, I watch Shawn closely, without him noticing. I keep on seeing him whispering to Bryden, who looks a little worried and guilty- I wonder why.
Shawn's not smiling, unlike when he's with me. Instead, I sense a bit of a malicious glint in his eye as he stands up and walks out of the cafeteria with no explanation, Bryden right on his heels. Maybe Jack is right about him pretending to be super nice. He's acting a little suspicious.
If Jack's telling the truth about what he heard, then maybe I should be careful. I'm still planning on sitting here on Friday, because even though I usually hang out with Grace on Friday, the Debate Club's at another school somewhere in California doing whatever they do in debate.
But I don't really feel like getting pranked, because some pranks can be really cruel, and as much as I'd like others to believe that I'm tough, it's really difficult for me not to get upset.
How can I avoid getting pranked? I ponder the question for a while, but when I come up with nothing even after I'm done my burrito, I decide to leave it for later. After all, I still have tomorrow to come up with something.
After school
Grace's coming over to my house today just to hang out, because she's free today. We're walking to my house, laughing really hard at a video she showed me on her phone. My heart's not fully in it, though. I'm debating whether or not to ask Grace for help. I don't usually like asking for help from people, but Grace is Grace. So I decide to tell her what happened.
"Grace, you know how I was sitting with Jack's crowd yesterday and today, right?"
"Yeah, what about it? Something happen?"
"Well, sort of. I was walking to the cafeteria when Jack stopped me and told me he had to warn me about something. Then, he went on to say how Shawn's not actually as nice as he seems and that he's planning on pulling a prank on me." I say.
"What do you mean, not as nice as he seems? The guy isn't nice at all! I've seen him push a little kid over on purpose then walk away without even saying sorry or helping the kid up. That guy is pure mean. I wouldn't be surprised if he pranks you. Watch your back, girl."Grace tells me as I open my front door and we walk in.
"I will. At first, I wasn't sure whether or not to believe Jack."
"Why not? As far as you've told me, he's never lied to you before, so why would he now?"
"I don't know. But now that you've said pretty much the same thing about Shawn, I'm inclined to believe him, and so earlier I decided that, if Shawn is actually pranking me, I'm gonna make it backfire on him."
"Backfire?" Grace asks.
"Yeah, you know, like I'm gonna find out what he's planning to do to me and do it to him before he has a chance to prank me. Or, if I can't find out what he's planning to do, I'll just pull something on him before he pulls something on me. Easy as that."
"I like it! He won't even see it coming." Grace laughs. "And don't you dare worry about being too mean to him. Last time you tried to prank someone, it didn't work because you got too soft-hearted again."
"I'm sorry, I decided it wasn't worth it! I'll try and be more merciless this time." I joke.
We start laughing, and I don't even know why. This is why I love being best friends with Grace- because even when I'm worried, she can make my mood turn completely around.
The next morning (Jerry's POV)
Grace walks up to me. Wow, she's pretty. Prettier than the girls I usually flirt with, and even they're way out of my league. I wonder what she wants from me.
"Hey, Jerry."She smiles at me. Wow, this is like last time, when rumour got out that I was dating Donna Tobin. I don't know who started it, but I should thank them, because I got more attention from girls then I ever had before. I wonder who I'm apparently dating this time?
"Hi, Grace. What to do, girl?" I say. Grace just stares at me blankly. What, did she not understand my swasome pick-up line?
"Umm… I don't know. Anyways, I was wondering if you could do me a little favor." She smiles again.
"Sure, anything for you." I can't believe she wants a favor from me. Whatever it is, I'll do it!
"Okay. Would you be able to spy on someone for me and tell me everything they say, especially involving Kim?"
"Sure. Who's the someone?"
She hesitates. "Shawn," She finally says. "Shawn and Bryden."
"I don't know, Grace, they're my best friends."
"I'll give you a kiss." She says.
"Wow! Okay! I'm in! I'll tell you everything they say!" I almost trip over myself running towards homeroom, where Shawn and Bryden are. I don't even take the time to wonder why she wants me to spy on them.
Thanks for reading and love you all! Please review, and I'll post a new chapter when I get 7 reviews. You guys are amazing.
